(Edit: @chrisan I am soft-banned from replying to you. The reply button is gone. Yes I know I should be open to new options. But I have suffered silently for years and everyone only hated me for my own ideas. So you…
Here is an example where I would have had a better day if I simply didn't show my skills to anyone https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=37308823
Sure. I'm the elitist, the coder who can't keep his job for longer than 2 years because he doesn't have any soft skill. At the moment I am literally considering quitting (my second job), working at a phone repair shop…
Honestly when I accepted that clever code is bad code, my passion for coding died and now I just want to coast until I get fired and then go work at a phone repair shop I think when I picked my major, I never understood…
I think it's sadder that developers would rather use an app rather than learning the proper command line for basic things like decoding base64
Many people living in these countries, know what's going on. They silently support the violent levels of censorship because they think our government is just as bad and often hypocritical (even though the US is…
That's good. And I am biased. I personally liked American and Japanese culture better anyways. Growing up in China, everyone I knew keeps telling me our culture is fake, reconstructed from a pile of burning books and…
Yeah you are right that people are applying the wrong laws and expecting results. Ideally we would consider creating new laws. But it is hard to explain why a company's control over its own platform can be harmful…
If everyone can band together and generate N fake clicks for every 1 real click, And provide N wrong Captcha answers for every correct answer, Then we might just be able to send a message to advertisers and those "data…
> NEVER paste code you don't understand into the development console Tech companies have long achieved security by simply locking people out of choices that they shouldn't make. I'm suspecting that Google will soon lock…
My point is book burning can cause backlash. Therefore so can deletionism. When the backlash happens, it's often already too late. But people are aware something was gone, that's why there is a backlash. I know this…
Frankly I say we let them delete all public backups of internet culture. Eventually there would be a backlash when this goes too far. Lots of games, websites and TV shows would be gone. Let them. Don't make local…
Wow! This might just be what I've been hoping for, since 2020. What I hoped for was more of a generic backend for multiplayer games. But this is even better. It looks like a next-gen bittorrent which natively supports…
Yup that's a better idea.
Hopefully one day we will be advanced enough to start transforming the desert. It's not an easy task and I don't know enough about science or economics to say it's definitely feasible. It's just a hope. And if people…
True. I am not asking people to just accept anything though. If you want growth, have at it. When my phone completely breaks, I would love to get a better hardware with more features.
People don't really like each other enough to work for a positive future. And yet they all want to live in a populous city with amazing opportunities/infrastructure/environment/etc That's the problem. If technology is…
Plot twist: The replies were written by an AI
(Edit: Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion and is based on information before 2015) China is good at controlling public opinions like this. I grew up in a "third line" city and we were always told if we don't have…
And then there are people like me, I only have hard skills and not enough soft skills. People end up not trusting me because they find out I'm hiding skills. And I end up not using them, and not even trying to convince…
IMO, the meat of this paper is in section 4.3 and 4.4. And I cannot say for sure, but the formal proof of 4.4 basically summarizes the same points pointed out in 4.3. Most of these are not inherently mathematical…
> "consent extraction"... can only be used when the device passcode is known or not set. I doubt it'll be used like that. Does a legitimate user really need this? Apple already backs most local data (basically photos)…
I know. But I don't know where to start reading if I want to learn more about what's really going on
> Now we have companies like John Deere that use computers to lock out their own customers from fixing their own tractors. We have car companies charging to unlock heated seats and extra acceleration. Printers that lie…
I don't really know where it went wrong with the real theories. But, when I imagine quantized gravity in my head, I don't imagine having a carrier particle (graviton). Rather, it feels like gravity is special and the…
