Me too.

And at the same time I feel bad for inspectors being 5-10 years away from retirement, or worse, 5 years into the business. All inspectors in general, beyond some further construction engineering professionals and those making software for them.

I believe you will have a ton of factual page about that. The purpose of this one is exactly what you criticise: rage. With a small error of margin a justified rage. I believe this was the reason it was chosen for submission: to show the rage.

I believe the harm is irrevocably done now. In the middle of cybersecurity frenzy hearing about that verifications, making sure something is done properly at a security focus organisation has lower priority than speed, that left a mark in a very sensitive spot. Central one. I pay more than I use because of getting comfy after a capabilities exploration, and some idealistic reasons too, despite a few UX matters I found clumsy (this word from the article resonates with my feelings) and I never got to fully like the way they present the service. But this is now beyond ideals and comfort. I lost trust with their attitude shining through and their clumsy way in general. I should first switch to a base subscription, loosing one or maybe two aspects I use from a higher tier. It did not come at a fortunate time when I lack any spare time and energy for this, figuring out how much I will miss exactly, but I will have to do it. Figuring out what happens exactly on degrading my subscription. Some guide about 'what happens if' would be very handy now.

On top of those in the 2% code that is not approved to change? ;-)

The ability to identify analogy and not to confuse with equality requires the capacity of abstraction.

The knowledge comes from the humans. AI is used to write it down. I do not think it was said that the knowledge comes from the AI. Just like thoughts are not produced by a typewriter.

Why to multiply instead of going to the same place for knowledge? It is almost like you want to make a different Wikipedia for conservatives and liberals because one cannot tolerate a tone or style of the other. Probably we should dedicate dozens of sites for the same topic depending on the writing styles of the humans too. There are a few out there.

In worst case we might have an 'AI language' (or languages) instead, so the sensitive souls could find a safe heaven from it elsewhere, choosing something else. Perhaps one along the idea of 'simple English', have it 'AI English'. Or something else satisfies those looking for a specific way of delivery they can handle exclusively.

I think knowledge is the important here, not the tone.

Oh, is this then the Holy Grail of memory handling or what?!

Please share it with logistics guys, since putting stuff from here and there into warehouse storage, then taking away, put some more in than planned sometimes, keeps spinning their heads. They need all the good logic!

So, yet another programming language, that's nice. I never thought there will be one more beyond English.

It is rapidly becoming cyber only (assuming it is not already there under the hood).

Cartography would have some comments about the easiness of stretching a usual planar civ map over a sphere.

If there is no choice than exposing private keys that needs to be rotated in case of compromise then perhaps that is an incompetent design choice, isn't it? Co-locating services where available or limit from what location a key is accepted, why that is not an option? I still think that if there is 'no other choice than exposing secrets' then there is some seriously fundamental wrongdoing is involved there and there is no-one else to blame for the lots of fuck ups happening than those forming those services - who else, basically, right? the weather or some imaginary father-figure? - the way they do. Regardless if this is a widespread practice. Many wrong will not make something good. There is always a choice, like not doing what cannot be done right. Right?

We reached a state where whatever is on the web that cannot be trusted. Users worry, privacy and secrets are compromised on a huuuge scale, while the creators who did this way are saying 'this is normal business'. That's not right! Privacy is sacrificed for developer's convenience.

I heard providers making private keys expecting it to be private, keeping it secret. But it is not, it is shared in fact. It sounds like violating the intended nature of keys. For convenience. Convenience of yet another service is much less important than security and har to imagine being a 'no choice' matter. It feels like some developers consciously but ignorantly and actively fuck up the product they make, risking their users, along their own convenience.

Being that guy, I say cybersecurity is an oxymoron with the messy and heterogenous implementation of identifying the authorised actor. For example passwords are known like two decades or more being frail and vulnerable, yet that's the backbone of security after all those years? So it had to be patched and scaffolded with various techniques like 2FA and one time codes. Still, different ways in all places, so users resort putting all their eggs in one basket just to be able to get moving, storing secrets and keys in one place, handing over to someone on the internet, while calling it progress and the edge of technology. It feels like for a frustrated user who needs to fight through daily identifications in at least one or two of the dozens of systems (distracting from productive work) that the poor person is forced to use as everything must be put on the net regardless if it is better that way or not, it is modern and good for the developer. All in the name of security, so poor user starts to write things down or put all the eggs in one basket in other ways, aggravating the password situation and exposing/risking his life and livelihood. As we see from the frustrated folks in various threads here on HN too.

I do not thing there is (any) security in cyberspace, and this is exposed big now with the use of AI.

Naive question: why would someone trust private keys and other secrets to a service provider?

Déjà vu for both of us, huh?

In civ it is part of the game not knowing which part of the big map are you in. If you provide space for the eventual map and it is respected, then you will instantly know which corner of the world is yours. Or, if you pick your start location in your room, some distant leaders may end up in the cupboard or the pavement outside. Panning and zooming the growing map as you advance sounds necessary.

Agreed.

Probably no surprise some (Western) European countries allow you going to the GP, telling you are exhausted/burned-out/anxious, whatever fits the extreme fatigue, and you get some time of commonly agreed off, prescribed, paid. Everyone is better off that way (except the manufacturers of stimulants. Coffee excluded here! :-) ). Also, overtime is not a trend. Preserved for exceptional circumstances, for a brief period that an otherwise balanced person can handle. Europe is economically uncompetitive, the rest of the world makes circles around it performance and money-wise, also many abuse the system, still, without people a society is nothing, economy alone is crap if it is not for the people, as much people as possible so the streets are not crawling with too much crazy. We need to have a life first. Most of my European friends would never think of living in the US or Asia prolonged, only for an energetic period to boost some aspects (financial, experience, knowledge), mostly when they are young (but not with children, no!). Those places are not liveable from a European perspective.

These old people started their career when computer use became a job requirement for any office work. A few years more and homes got saturated as well. A 52 yo was 20 thirty years ago, in 1996. Have you heard about Napster, MS Office, Netscape, Windows 95 / NT, Hotmail, AOL, Messenger, ICQ, Doom, C&C, .... hundreds more. And everything else since. They had to live through those every day, keyboard+screen instead of pen+paper.

...aren't you confusing them with the generation above 80?

50+ year olds seen and used and made more than 30 years worth of constantly evolving technology, their life was saturated with it for 3 decades. Was this what the poster wanted to say perhaps? ; )

> highly tech literate (avg age of House of Reps ~=52yo)

Not debating your overall point, but how tech literacy and 50+some years of age are connected?

You are not a web app developer, are you?! Please say you are not! Or just doing it for fun and harmless matters.

Who is responsible for the specifications of those systems? Someone is paid to do it well, so that someone is doing their job.

The richest 5% alone is simplistic but in the right alley. Anyone benefits a war, shall pay a chunk in a healthy society. Big one, considering the harm and risk on the society, regardless of the side in the armed conflict.

The trouble usually is, that the 95% has a huge portion willing to sacrifice anyone else in the same society they live on for peanuts dropped to them by the 5%! : / (see the Trump effect as a light example) Parasites are everywhere, being rich or poor, they suck out the blood of fellow people.

The share of ignorants (does not move a muscle in any direction) are even bigger than the peanut lovers so a healthy society is a fairytale. The economically stronger eat up the weak still.

Probably not for free either, right? ; ) I am sorry if I made you think that the specific payment technique is the key element here, forgive me for leading you on.

Calling a hurl level avoidance working is funny. You confuse this with showbiz from the movies.

There is a huge canyon between launching a car into space for fun (test, actually, dead weight) and having a web page where you can type in your card details to pay advance on your own purely marketing purpose circus car. You really don't see the difference? Of course, calling an impractical technical circus engineering is revealing.

Real?! From these circus folks? Their (lack of) sense for reality (practicality, safety) you see in this circus is scary! Same folks and mentality make those other ones too that you are supposed to use!

Why the payments and reservations then?

Rural people in the past could be caught crying while killing their animal they cared for to eat.
