I appreciate that you broke apart the users into two groups. I imagine Group B is much larger than Group A, and that the Haskell maintainers want to emphasize "if you use accursedUnutterablePerformIO, make sure you are in Group A!".

Most Group A people didn't get there fixing surface level stuff. They got there because there was an insidious defect buried deep that required that deep knowledge to understand or fix.

Hypothetically, let's say I owned a modest home. Then, what if a very wealthy person who grew up in that home wanted to buy it for a grand sum of money? In that case, I'd be torn between revaluing my house to a huge amount (that no one except this one person would be willing to pay) and being forced to sell. It's an interesting scenario, because that wealthy person could lower their valuation almost immediately after the sale, since no one else would pay what they paid.

Maybe the Russian Central Bank is buying up rubles to attempt to stabilize it? They probably wouldn't be exchanging them for BTC, but may be the ones holding the rubles at the end.

I've seen this on HN before, but wanted to resurface it. Now that I have been working remotely for quite some time, I am noticing these differing communication styles now more than ever. Especially with phone meetings that remove any body language or visual cues, I find that I am increasingly frustrated with mismatched communication styles involving myself or my team members. Has anyone else experienced this switching to remote work? Any ideas on how to address it or at least make it less frustrating?

I used to be a somewhat cautious interrupter in person, but now have moved toward strong civility over the phone. This has been a frustrating change since at least in the phone meetings I am on, there is almost no lull in the conversation.

I wonder when home security setups will start including a Faraday cage, at least for certain rooms or areas.

If you opt into the class settlement, you absolve the defendant of all liability so you can't sue them yourself in the future (for the same issue). If you don't join the class, you can still sue the defendant separate from the class. Not sure if that was the reason for the commenter above opting out, though.

Realistically, I think most of the time, if the ad is targeted well, there are no issues. I see a good amount of ads, and the most annoying ones, to me, are the most poorly targeted ones.

However, I do think there is an inherent creepiness involved in the amount of tracking involved to achieve that level of targeting. Normally, as a person who is not terribly privacy minded, I'm not thinking about this tracking that watches everything I do. That is, until I had an experience like the top comment. I ripped the mic out of my Amazon FireTV remote that day. It made me uncomfortable that my conversation left the room without my knowledge or consent. (I realize this was Amazon, not Google, but they all do this sort of thing.)

Edit: I think ad targeting has to achieve a delicate balance of serving potentially helpful ads, while not alerting the target that they are part of the Matrix.
