Interesting.

Perhaps the problem is the use of SVG. SVG requires specifying a colour, yet it's going to be discarded by the browser. Maybe what's needed is a proper mask format? Some subset of SVG? If that were used, then browsers which don't support it would naturally skip it, whereas currently browsers which don't support the masking display the SVG with the colour it specified.

Over the last few years I've been asking individuals from different countries about how they establish trust within their cultures. Some cultures trust quickly, some dis-trust quickly, some establish trust over time based on observations, some establish trust over time through speculation. Some never trust, unless they know you or someone you know. Some seem trustworthy to others they know, and very untrustworthy to those they don't.

I'm an American, so it seems fair I stick to what I know and let people from other cultures chime in here, instead of me speaking for them. Americans tend to (apparently) trust very quickly. We'll smile at you, nod a lot, and talk to you openly about just about anything within minutes of meeting you. We may remain suspicious of you however, especially if you may be sticking around for a while. We'll make intense observations, even at the expense of appearing nosey, in an attempt to justify our initial trust in you. If we observe 'suspicious' actions, we may attempt to investigate further by talking about you with others we do trust. We're not opposed to speaking for your actions, or simply making up a bunch of facts to suit our fears in our mistrust in you, especially if we've discussed you previously with others (which bolsters the fear). When clear violations of trust have occurred we'll demand someone suffer for these violations, even at the expense of removing our own freedom to act later. In short, we hack trust more than most cultures on the planet, which is probably also why we're so damn good at marketing.

I'm thinking we should start working on methods which improve trust instantiation with each other based on the impact the conversation can have on others. In general, most culture's methods of establishing trust sacrifice efficiency. That's fine if you are just grabbing drinks with someone, but if you are reporting to a large number of people, you should be held accountable for your bullshit.

No clue how to implement this, but I suspect it's blockchain related. Been meaning to write more about it, given I had more time to write. :)

Weave for Messenger, feels like Apple Watch sketch
Love it! Tnx!
Please welcome my new iOS app, Weave for Messenger!
Weave for Messenger was inspired by Apple Watch sketch feature to quickly draw and send hand-crafted doodles to peers. The app brings an enhanced version of Watch sketch feature to Facebook Messenger platform users, featuring color support and a simple and user-friendly UI. Weave animations are uploaded as videos, which enables them to be viewed on any device with no app installed, repeating the way the doodle was drawn with a beautiful self-dissolving effect at the end of the recording.

I found this an interesting view... but I think there's another model that's a combination. The author assumes all devices will talk to the cloud-based service, although in the "Decentralized" model the devices may talk amongst each other and THEN out to the cloud.

However, there could also be model where all the IoT devices communicate with a local hub within a building and then communicate back to the cloud through that local hub. So the model is "decentralized" in that it does not have reliance on a central hub... but "centralized" within the local area. Perhaps this is a "Distributed Hub" model or something like that.

> The last straw was the one where they requested your email login details

That last straw has been active for probably as long as they existed. I didn't fall for it, but a lot of people who know me did, and I used to get a lot of linkedin spam because of it. Either they've refined their practices, or people have wised up, or we've passed peak LinkedIn.

In any case, I ignore most email from LinkedIn, I don't play the endorsement game in either direction, and anyone who receives spam from LinkedIn related to me are themselves LinkedIn products, so they made the choice.

I was mortified when I heard of 'surprise phone checks': parents have their child walk them through every single piece of content and app on the phone.

I know someone who found that their 12 year old daughter had found a much older out-of-state admirer who was going to drive out to pick her up. She had been sending explicit pictures of herself. She no longer has a smartphone.

As a child, I would not have responded well to this invasion of my privacy. Perhaps if the electronics are given to them with no expectation, it would not be as bad. It would also help prepare them for our future totalitarian regime.

They got a fair amount of time to promote this at Sony's E3 event, so I imagine that the value of the marketing already put into Shenmue III is worth more than those 2 million, which begs the question. If Sony is willing to promote this so much, why aren't they willing to invest?

Or to put it bluntly: it fucking sucks when studios use Kickstarter when they are in no need of crowdfunding.
Yeah, when I got to that my thought was, "So you see the problem but you're unwilling to actually take a stand against it?"
I mean, I know that it sets a variable, I can't even guess what are the effect of setting that variable.

And "look at the source" is a sad answer, no matter if the source is a shell script or C program.

The point is that with your example you need domain knowledge, knowing bash is not enough: what does the pexp assignment do, what rc_reload=NO means, should flags be specified in the daemon variable or that's meant to only contain the binary, does that path be full or it takes in consideration a standard PATH?

And now you got two things to know: the bash (or even strictly posix sh) language (which, admittedly, isn't the best one in the world) and the domain specific functions/variables.

This isn't much different than with systemd: the language is much more simple and far less surprising being INI-like (the same as .desktop files), and it's basically just setting a list of rather well documented variables.
There wasn't exactly a food shortage in the 1980s either (and to take an extreme example, Japan has a food supply that's equally abundant and much lower rates of obesity). I think we need to look at more things to explain the current circumstances. For instance, how many households were traditional two-parent, single-earner homes in the past versus now? I would expect such households to eat fewer prepared foods. What about the kinds of foods supermarkets are selling? Ads? You get the picture. The abundance of food alone isn't enough to explain things.

> the PPAPI is very closely tied to chrome's inner workings and is extremely complicated to implement

I've looked at the API, and can't agree with your statement. The API is similar to a typical game engine API. There are classes for handling input devices, audio, OpenGL, hardware video decoding, filesystem access, and basic networking. The PPAPI does not even touch the DOM, so it's not tied to being in a web browser.

Why is this a "misuse" of the average? Is there really proof that there are a handful of outliers distorting the average? The article says 30% of Americans are obese; that alone seems like a large number, even if the other 70% were not heavier than they used to be (which I doubt).

IPv4 did not offer any anonymity. The closest you get to that, is an external entity being unable to differentiate the traffic you make vs the one your family makes.
Malnutrition is not the same as eating less. A healthy diet includes a variety of proteins, sugars, vitamins, minerals and other things. The North Korean diet has, for several generations now, been lacking in essential nutrients. The consequence is that their population has been shrinking (malnutrition during growing years means you don't grow).

You can over consume food and still be malnourished. See a friend of mine in college that subsisted off a diet largely consisting of pastas and cheese, sometimes fruit. He was incredibly unhealthy, though he obtained more than enough calories to maintain his weight (he was somewhat overweight at the time, but not extremely so). Once he improved his diet he had enough energy to actually start exercising again and resolved several ongoing medical issues he had at the time due to missing key nutrients in his diet.
My intent wasn't to belittle bloggers, but the point remains that bloggers generally have less funding to do long term in-depth reporting. Unless they're independently funded, advertising revenue on a blog can't support it. Advertising revenue on a big newspaper's site like the NYT probably can't afford it either.

The Bob Woodwards of the world don't come out of a vacuum. They're part of a larger system in which digging into a problem takes time, and many don't succeed. That means you need a lot of people trying to do it. That means you need some system that is paying for and encouraging people to do this, you can't rely on a couple of independently funded bloggers to carry the load for everyone.

Given your "most of it pablum" talk above, I can guess you don't know anyone who works in a good newspaper or a local television station's investigative unit. I agree 24 hour news networks are full of filler. Local news and the better newspaper's are a better representation of what "traditional journalism" looks like. They just have vastly reduced resources. But you get the people we're talking about here who dig into stories and find out what's going on. And when you talk to them, you hear about journalistic integrity. Yes really! I know it's fun to be cynical on HN, but journalistic integrity is a real thing that is alive and well but its funding is dwindling.

Unfortunately NaN behavior seems to be hard-wired in encoding/json code. The proper way to fix it is perhaps taking encoding/json sources and converting marshalling/unmarshalling code to use go-duktape Push/To/etc. functions instead of JSON writing/parsing. That's indeed a sizable amount of work, though.

As of integrating (some of) changes from my fork to the go-duktape mainline, thanks a lot! Didn't get around to do it myself.

> Trigger warnings are fundamentally misguided; actual triggers for people with a past history of trauma are often not yhe type of things that get trigged warnings

It really depends on the person. Some people who've had the misfortune of experiencing rape definitely do get flashbacks when rape is described to them, for example. This isn't a hypothetical thing: someone I know had this happen.

> The modern phenomenon of "trigger warnings" and "safe spaces" if just privileging a certain set of political sensitivities and aesthetic preferences, not addressing actual safety from trauma triggers.

Whether or not trigger warnings help with trauma, they are mostly harmless. I'd be inclined to err on the side of caution here, given that most of the people with the biggest problem with trigger warnings tend to be people who wouldn't need them anyway.

Safe spaces don't just exist to avoid trauma, and the reason they exist isn't political. They exist to allow people excluded by mainstream spaces to participate. For example, rape survivors may find it difficult to participate in spaces where people make "jokes" about rape, for fairly obvious reasons.

Yes, there are interesting lessons in that, but we're entering new territory when software systems will be explicitly tasked to make life-or-death "decisions" without the active control of a human. The correct answer might be ethically foggy even for humans. This is definitely problematic.

Starving your body does indeed make you lose weight, that's true. It's just not a healthy way to do it. Nor is it long term. Your body will more than compensate for it as it regains all the weight you lost as soon as you eat like a regular person.

The title should be updated since Sony is not actually part of this Kickstarter, they simply provided the creator with a platform to promote his project because they are fans of his work.
