Do people in general understand how incredibly rotten, rigged, and broken everything is?

Imagine buying your dream house (a figurative one only coincidentally related to the article), turning the doorknob and it comes off in your hand. You flick the light switch but no lights, and it collapses into the panel. Touch the wall, and your finger pokes through. Completely broken, disintegrated, nested with termites and other creepy crawlers. The "inspectors" told you everything was fine.

That is our world, and this life.

Tell the neighbors.

My onanism? I'd pay out just for the vocabulary...

Cross-generation, too--it will take a long time to know. (Usage isn't new, but it will increase.)

"However, the 2017 survey showed a decline in households reporting concerns and avoiding certain online activities compared with the 2015 survey, which first asked these questions. The proportion of online households reporting privacy or security concerns fell from 84 percent to 73 percent during this period. Similarly, the proportion of online households that said privacy concerns stopped them from doing certain online activities dropped from 45 percent to 33 percent."

Don't drive, you'll die on the road.

Smart plan, and works on many levels--both product and service industries included (in terms of creating demand), but of course cultural and diplomatic ones as well, with network effects.

I think sheer practice can help here--when I haven't interviewed for a while, I'm rusty at telling "my story," but once back in the process, it begins to flow again. (rusty flow?)

Interesting. More stories!

It's an unpopular notion in these times, but it might even be said that this arises from a deep-seated awareness that one is separated from one's true source or even (gasp) "God."

Healthcare is an abomination. If the will existed, the situation could be radically different, but it never seems to change. "Obamacare" was just another (effective) tax increase in disguise, like adding the fees for a new thing, but never actually changing the thing itself. Sheeple one and all.

Backwards paper systems serving the moneyed interests.

Is this criterion keeping you from using the framework right now?

I'm stuck inheriting other people's messes (when I far prefer making my own).

No.

If you think getting minimum wage for doing retail work in an 80deg store is a particularly bad deal then you're probably living in a little bit of a bubble.

Is this a joke?

1) It's encrypted, but most of everything has a vulnerability somewhere

2) This is a great question, of the kind more people should regularly be asking

3) Don't stop!

Wish there were a viable alternative to the duopoly--for now, Apple remains the lesser evil.

It makes you laugh, it makes you think, and then the thing...with the function?

Frinky's not loading so good right now, HN.

Too much "we" and "our" in these things. The author may speak only for himself (or herself).

The people who "choose" to spend time alone, do so because they have that choice available to them--it's a kind of "social privilege" or prerogative, available to those whose time and attention is in most demand.

It's reminiscent of an attitude that doesn't understand why "all those poor people just don't get normal jobs."

What's the significance of Poland in the output? A tracking thing?

I noticed problems with Reddit earlier, too.

JokeBot 2000 writez all.

This article (and HN discussion, if you can find the post) may have some food for thought:

Wish Apple would give us a physical cover.

Work MacBook has monitoring software on it that seems to have a number of different capabilities, the usual driver disablement commands also don't work (even sudo'd), and the input slider on the microphone always manages to creep back up a notch without my doing. (None of these things are a problem on the home system.)

(Booted from the front page already?)

This article is irresponsibly written, because the two-year term is buried in its middle.

The headline reads "will pay consultant $176,800," which will be parsed as "per year" by, what, 99.9% of readers?

The first sentence is no better: "pay $176,800 to a computer software consultant."

As others have mentioned, this is almost certainly a bargain--I can't imagine any new system being quoted without a price of 'millions.'

I don't believe the notions of 'marketing' or 'smart business move' played heavily into the design and development of Go.

"At 88 Japan scores as one of the most Long Term Orientation oriented societies. Japanese see their life as a very short moment in a long history of mankind."

None on Amazon appear to have overall high ratings.

There's probably opportunity in the space for someone who can create an effective, reasonably-priced model.

That's funny--my impression is that it's a popular concept in America, and growing increasingly so, especially with the new-style Main St. (parodied on South Park and probably elsewhere).

That may be more true in have versus have-not cities, though.

Bird scientists are already devising countermeasures.
