It's a start. There will be ways around the mute filters by using alternative spellings, substituting in similar unicode characters, etc.

There needs to be a "quality" score for a Twitter user and an option to mute tweets from "low quality" users. Quality could be determined by utilizing an algorithm similar to Google Page Rank. Retweets, likes, and follows by "quality" users would be considered in a user's quality rank. Reports of hateful conduct would be weighted in as well.

It's too bad that it has taken this long for Twitter to even -start- to address the abuse. They are lucky they have no direct competitors.
I remember playing through TR2 with my brother as youngsters. I don't think he's forgiven me for 'progressing' in the level by killing a couple of enemies, using all the medkits, and overwriting the only save with low health at this point [1] - just before you have to climb a ladder into a small room with two enemies

Or Prius Prime? The new version of prius plug in would give epa estimated 133 mpge which is the highest number for any car sold in USA. So if you really consider efficiency and even carbon emissions then that is the car one should get. A good amount of electricity is generated in America by coal based power plants so in a way, comparing mpge numbers make more sense while thinking about reducing the carbon emissions. Also found this tool really useful to see carbon footprint of a car.

Two questions: the article mentions "magnets made from a rare earth metal called dysprosium" are used in the motor. How rare is this and will it eventually limit volume?

>the wide range of its current and projected uses, together with the lack of any immediately suitable replacement, makes dysprosium the single most critical element for emerging clean energy technologies - even their most conservative projections predict a shortfall of dysprosium before 2015. [0]

My other question, as a non EV, owner is how easy is it to charge these? Can I charge from home or do I have to compete with others at charge stations? At work we have so many EVs that people have to rotate their cars throughout the day.

Note: I'm pro electric car, just curious about scalability

The definition of randomness is that which is statistically unpredictable. There would still be randomness if we could remember the future because we don't have perfect information about the past, and the universe is inherently random at the quantum level.
Usenet binary grabber: http://www.ensisoft.com (http://github.com/ensisoft/newsflash-plus)

A little history. Back in the day when I started looking into Usenet there were no proper clients for Linux. There was pan but it had huge problems dealing with large volume binary groups. I figured it can't be that hard and started working on my own client which slowly evolved into the current 4th major version. Ten years in the making already :)

The 3x series was the most successful with perhaps around 50-60k installs. In general the field is very competitive and there are several clients for Windows especially.
Yes, and the article I linked names "GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and Beidou" directly. That's what I consider stating something explicitly :).
I had similar thoughts but was too embarrassed to ask as I am not a mathematician.

Basically is randomness a human idea/concept or does it really exist? This is sort of along the lines of whether or not Math really exists (mathematical structures) or is just a human way of modeling the universe (Mario Livio and few others have written some novels on this).

I don't know the answer but it seems to have a habit of getting philosophical rather quickly.

Exactly this. When I use a Linux desktop I notice some micro-lag when using applications. Windows desktop feels much smoother.
I wonder about it too. From what I read, military-grade inertial navigation is pretty damn accurate.
Facebook has un-follow and see less from tony. Twitter is just launching mute, which is similar to un-follow. I'd like both services to offer "don't show me links from tony" because that's really what I want when I choose "see less from."
This has to be propaganda designed for domestic consumption, because there is no way this would be effective. You know how cell towers are on the ground, and missiles are in the air? Yeah, sky facing directional antennas in the hundreds of cruise missiles would defeat a 250,000 tower project. I'd be surprised if the functionality wasn't already built into the weapon systems - the handheld GPS unit I was issued in 2006 had the ability to detect jamming and selectively ignore the direction of the source.
Linux's greatest strength, freedom of choice, is also it's biggest weakness. Instead of a clear vision and focus, you have a million developers getting frustrated with half baked implementations and rolling their own half baked implementations. Because of this there's a constant churn and things can change radically from one version of a distro to the next.

A user can live on the same LTS version of a distro for years but eventually they'll need to upgrade. I have yet to see anyone successfully upgrade major releases of any distro without serious issues. The process is basically format and start over. That's unacceptable.

Sure Windows and macOS have their own set of problems but for the average user they just work. You don't have to dive into the bowels of the registry or modify ktext files to get most things to work and the majority of users don't even know about the CLI.
Everything is easier in safer languages, far from everything is possible.

Ask HN: Is there a text-only HN daily digest?
I am increasingly downgrading my phone: social apps are gone, email is gone, most IM apps are gone. I may end up with a tiny Nokia that runs a basic browser. In this back-to-basics plan I'd like to keep reading HN posts and comments.

Maybe someone already built a smart parser that extracts text only from top posts and packs'em nicely as an RSS feed or something?
Whilst this may be true in general, I find that when it comes to Javascript, things are already so sandboxed and reliant on the DOM api, that there's little you can do to shoot yourself in the foot.

At worst, your site won't be cross-browser compatible, but it's not like it's serverside where the framework is legitimately doing heavy lifting in a high performance environment.

At the beginning of the year, I started at a large print shop where numerous types of projects came through our doors. There's this one client of ours who's project would take ~13 hours to complete--and that's just in our department which was file prepping.

I did this project by hand one or two times and then asked the manager to let me research the possibility of automating it. After a week or so of fiddling around, I was able to bring it down to 2h10m. Just in the past week, I was able to bring it down to 15m and reduce the number of steps where a human is needed.
I don't see any nuance. I don't claim to be able to go toe to toe with the 101st airborne. And I certainly don't claim that overthrowing an oppressive government wouldn't involve massive casualties.

Are you saying anything that isn't straw men?

And considering your question of coming from the same culture - you are assuming that the US military would be willing to go to war against their own people - a very different proposition to the wars they have been fighting.

Even the war in Iraq is considered not to be what they signed up for by many service-people.

Right. This would specifically inhibit things like GPS guided cruise missiles, not laser-guided or maybe even radar-guided munitions.

My take on this is that, besides Twitter's general product stasis, the reason they've been conflicted on this is that the experience for new users and power users is completely different. For a new user, any response is great and Twitter wants to encourage that. For a power user, they have more than enough responses ("randos in my mentions").

I do feel that greater control over "notifications" is the obvious approach here and glad they're introducing controls like 'mute conversation'. Medium has an interesting approach with comments where you can see all comments vs. author-approved comments. Twitter probably doesn't want to make their UI complex with a lot of options but more granular control on replies (maybe even an ability to disable replies and quote tweets) would probably be useful.
None of American missiles and smart munitions uses GPS as a sole guidance method. Those that do use it as an enhancer to the primary inertial system.
Have been trying for 3+ hours, has been down for me. Is it just me or for others too?
I'd like to know how the software vendor came to know about this? Maybe the software was accidentally pushed to all machines as part of the standard image or maybe it was deliberately pushed to everyones desktop, and some whistle blower told the vendor?
»Despite their name, rare earth elements are – with the exception of the radioactive promethium – relatively plentiful in Earth's crust, with cerium being the 25th most abundant element at 68 parts per million, or as abundant as copper. They are not especially rare, but they tend to occur together in nature and are difficult to separate from one another.« —Wikipedia
Also nuts, if you ask me. You can get a perfectly good second hand car for a tenth of that. Unless you want a Tesla; then you've got to pay.
there will always be noise. there will always be sensationalism. there will always be deceit and propaganda. what we can do is offer people the tools, and teach them how to navigate through the noise to the signal. one of those tools is to instill a sense of skepticism and a moral responsibility not to propagate noise.

when facebook and google ban ads on fake news, new less scrupulous ad networks will spring into place. there is always money in the banana stand, and by banana stand i mean peddling entertaining shit. and by shit i mean shit.
There are too many things I can't do yet in Linux. I can't play the games I actually want to play. There are graphics tablets and modeling/animation/drawing tools that I want to use without having to spend as much time fussing with emulation layers or finding the right binary drivers.

So yes, it is simply easier to just use Windows and turn off as much as you can. It's a pain, but the relative pain to using Linux is lower.
Workflow automations at continually chip away at friction and speed up everyone's work in three main ways:

- Bringing notifications into Slack that aren't possible out of the box. This includes some services that only send updates via email, and others that enable webhook subscriptions, which can be parsed, filtered, augmented, and formatted.

- Creating Slack slash commands that let you do simple things in Slack instead of opening another browser tab.

- Connecting one service to another behind the scenes, assisting with data centralization for all sorts of downstream benefits.

Author of [3] here, you are right, I do skip the what & why, on purpose. I think there a far better places to learn about the whole spyware / telemetry and privacy topic, even better than the original article. [3] is made for admins which already know what they want (and why) to help them kickstart their own setup scripts. They are advised to read the scripts themselves instead of an inaccurate explanation.

I do not intend to sell you the project. (Sell in the sense of talking you into using it. Either it's what you are looking for or you need something different. And I will not waste your valuable time if you need something different.)

I do not disagree with anything you said. The only reason for powerful developer workstations is that each second of delay is compounded when you use your machine as a tool. I do use lightweight tools but Visual Studio is still extremely powerful and not easily replaceable (I've been using it every day for past 10 years). Visual Studio is NOT fast. Especially when you add ReSharper into the mix. You could go on arguing about what is the best IDE and if ReSharper is necessary. The fact is that lots of people still use it and a powerful machine is needed today to make those responsive

I agree, for example when they block IP in host file and when you check these IP as nothing to do with Microsoft...

Also they block things that can be used in a good way, like recognition of ink pen, yeah you don't want Microsoft can improve then how they will improve it? and they will complain why this pen don't recognize anything, the solution will be to use ccleaner to do more mess because we all know the script that BOOST windows performance...
Where can I find out more? All I see on their marketing site is "database containers" which I interpreted as little more than a container that happens to run a database, not as something that manages backups, point-in-time restoration, multi-az failover, upgrades, and all the other things that RDS has built in that many folks would otherwise prefer to have an (expensive) postgres specialist setup and manage for you.
That's weird. Older hardware is usually what works best on Linux.

Unsubscribing from notifications for a specific conversation is the only useful feature here. Muting words/hashtags from showing up in your TL would have been useful. Regarding "online abuse", shared blocklists were much more useful than locking or suspending accounts, that's not going to help at all.

Also I wonder what exactly falls under 'behavior that incites fear about a protected group' and 'repeated and/or or non-consensual slurs, epithets, racist and sexist tropes, or other content that degrades someone'. Will Twitter enforce politically correct tweets? Is NSFW content going to be banned because it offends some people?

I think it's reasonable to ban calls for violence against individuals, but I don't think banning all sorts of hateful content is a good idea and it's not going to help removing it anyway. If people don't want to see certain content, by all means, let them hide it from their feed and notifications.
In 1999, a COBOL programmer, tasked with updating bank software for the year Y2K switch, became overwhelmed.

"Look at all of this code!" he exclaimed. "I'll never be able to fix it all in time!"

Horrified by the media depictions of apocalypse brought by financial meltdown and software-launched nuclear warheads, all because of the Y2K bug, he became very anxious.

So, he went to the cryogenic freezing facility and told them, "Wake me up when Y2K is over."

He laid in the cryotube and gently fell asleep as the cold began to overtake him.

The next thing he knew, he was laying on a bed in a warm room, bright lights and white walls giving the room a certain sterility. A doctor in a lab coat was standing over him holding a clipboard.

"Oh, thank heavens!" said the programmer. "We've made it out alive!"

"Yes," said the doctor. "The year is 2999, and it says in your chart you know COBOL?"
People want to have their cake and eat it, too. The windows ecosystem is all they know and they are not ready to step outside their comfort zone to use open source alternatives. They rather pirate whatever comes along and try to patch things up as good as possible using antivirus, firewall, VPN and a whole lot of snakeoil software. I don't think we can change a lot on that front in the coming years. I don't know if we should even try.
That perspective also makes me wonder: surely we should shut down all intelligence services tomorrow? If their output is deemed to be tainted by Iraq, what's the point in paying for them?

Suffice to say, this doesn't seem like a reasonable perspective to me.
I leased a Volt for 3 years to try it out without having to commit to the early adopter risk. Oil changes were every 20,000 miles. Occasionally the engine would turn on and run automatically because I hadn't used it at all in a few weeks just for maintenance sake.

For a gas first approach like most hybrids I think it's a bigger concern. In the Volt since it's just a generator I don't know if the maintenance burden is quite as much of a concern.
So, practically speaking this can't be constantly on (in many areas) because it jams even their own navigation systems. Does this mean it will only be activated when there's a threat (perceived threat such as observed escalation, or detected such as a detected launch)? And then, this doesn't necessarily protect the area, it just means the weapons navigating by these jammed mechanisms will be more likely to hit a random target than the desired target. Effective for protecting strategic assets, but ineffective at actually protecting your territory in general.

Even if a criminal can still acquire an illegal firearm, that wouldn't be in his best interests if it's prosecuted with sufficiently more vigour than the other crimes they intend to commit. For example, your average British mugger or burglar is exceedingly unlikely to be so armed - the UK police will dedicate a lot more resources to catching a thief if his victims report he has a gun, and once caught he'll be locked up for a lot longer with it added to his rap sheet.
Twitter is an anonymous comment section on steroids. How about some kind of real user verification beyond email addresses? (i.e. Phone verification) It could be an optional step, but then provide the ability to ignore any Twitter content that doesn't come from these more-verified accounts?
