Yeah. It's even simpler than that. I saw a similar post on HN a few months ago theorizing that Facebook's machine learning algorithms could very plausibly pick up that controversy generates activity, and promote controversial topics more and more to the point of optimizing for divisiveness and extremism.

And most people here are slowly realizing that it's not just a theory... it's likely already happening. We're on the early years of acknowledging that it's happening. 5-10 years from now, some article will come out about how Facebook has been manipulating our world view for decades and people will link back to these posts and say "Duh, we've known about this for ages".

Hey, to the people who work at Facebook, Twitter, Google et al, it's your responsibility to make sure this stuff isn't happening. The company you work for has no path to fix these problems on its own, this stuff needs human supervision and intervention, and hyperawareness of what kind of damage is caused by manipulating people en masse.
1. tesla superchargers share a the 'bank of chargers' at 2 spots. look for 2a, 2b, those two spots are shared. pick one that doesn't have a paired spot in use
2. they charger at a higher rate when your car has a lower charge.
3. they cool the battery when charging to prevent harm, if its really hot this can lower charge ability. there's a similar thing with cold temps

They are reliable and predictable with those factors.

There is already extensive discussion of how to charge higher power systems like trucks, tesla has a plan, google for details. the easiest thing is just several superchargers together. by the way, a supercharger spot is just a bank of regular chargers working together, feeding dc directly to your car's battery. its not magic, it's all pretty easy to understand once you get some basic info.
You are not a user of Facebook, you are used by Facebook.
Getting off the daily news cycle is like getting rid of sugar, it reduces the craving for more of it pretty quickly once your system has adjusted.

I've found that an ok compromise is the Wikipedia current events section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events

I don't read it daily and I don't follow to the sources typically, but they make a decent job of filtering out all the clickbait and categorizing ongoing events etc. That way I know what's going on rather than just reading about it on social media without context.

The only thing I'm missing is filters and the option to group and aggregate for weekly reading, maybe I'll just script that at some point, should be simple enough.
As a follow up, it's pretty easy to disable. Just click the blue slider on the site linked under app and web.

FWIW, the greater NYC/NJ area is also one of, if not the most polluted region of the USA, because it was so powerful and economically strong when the industrial revolution happened and the earliest industrial chemical shenanigans occurred.

For example: Newtown Creek between Queens and Brooklyn and/or the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn were industrial supercenters in the 19th century ans were known to contain some weird and nasty crap at the bottom that was referred to as "black mayonnaise" as early as 1900. They're not much better now. Both are major superfund sites, and you would be well advised to not touch the water.

Also, in the 70s/80s, it got to the point where the East River, which separates Manhattan from Long Island, sometimes actually visibly caught fire. Really.

North Jersey, eg greater Paterson, Elizabeth, etc, is infested with superfund sites. Chemical companies up the wazoo were operating with impunity for decades.
They're also excluding vastly more information than they know about you - they're only showing your activity on Google properties, but not your activity on sites which use Google Analytics or Google Ads.. which is most of them.
Huh, I guess I was surprised.

It's exclusively Youtube, which I use logged in to get the benefit of history tracking. Every so often I clear my history, but apparently searches (again... Youtube searches, there's nothing else here) don't get cleared when you do that.

I see no real problems here.

This, and then I'm out: The way one phrases things can be just or more important than the content of what one is saying. "Shut up" and "Please, be quiet" can have very different effects. "Apple refuses to ..." as opposed to "I want to do ... because ... and I can't with Apple" can convey the same content while producing very different results. And the medium makes a difference as well: tone of voice and body language can temper otherwise aggressive language in person, but we don't have those extra channels online. And this can be even more important on contentious topics.

You feel strongly about the topic, right? Likewise others do as well. And if you want them to actually listen to what you have to say, it's important not to put them on the defensive. It's even more important to pay attention if you want to have a reasonable, constructive discussion. That's one of the things that's good about HN, and one we need to protect.
I think the Google Maps annoyance after activity tracking is disabled is designed intensionally. To force users to give up the control with easy to click buttons.
Back in the 90s, search engines were notorious for serving back lots of porn links interspersed with whatever thing you were looking for. I was unusual (apparently) in that my searches tended to be really specific and I rarely got a lot of porn results. Except one time. I was looking for information on gun violence in Europe and I was getting back not just a few porn results, but lots and lots of them. I was using really simple queries, so I was able to quickly isolate the offending term.

It was: "Sweden".

Not the experience on the email platform, you get a note taker that passes it on, level 1 techs on the email platform don't even know how to parse `host -t mx hostname.com`. You insist on same day escalation to be refused. After hunting down an escalation email Bill or Bob comes in on Monday eastern times, sorts it, apologises and then says a complaint is unwarranted and shit happens (i.e. a weekend of downtime for our client) and let's all be professional. Fuck Rackspace - their down fall is well deserved.

The share price is now the same as it was mid last year. That means investors are just as confident now as they were then. What information do you have that they don't? Surely you're not claiming to be smarter than them?
The advertisers leaving is what really hurts Facebook. Remember, you aren't Facebook's customer if you're just a regular user; you're the product.

Think of it this way; imagine a farmer having a bad harvest. that's a lot of pressure, but he or she will try to cope with the loss and monetize what's left cleverly.
Now, imagine the same farmer but the demand for the crop is falling. Now that's a capital "P" problem right there.

The recommendation for the rb3011; or winbox and routerOS in general?

While it is not perfect. I do not know of other vendors with open docs like the mikrotik wiki[0].

With winbox, wiki, and not to bad cli. I feel it a good starting point for non network engineers. Better then horrible web interface or arcane cli interface.

Any recommendations for someone that want to learn to know what they are doing?

Disruptive behaviour is just the results, the cause might be exhaustion due to the classroom being to much for the nervous system. Over-sensitive hearing is one common symptom and for me it's hard to imagine how normal people manage to have a conversation in a room with more people having other conversations. Too many kids around, that's too many social interactions that are preferably avoiding. Allowing an autistic kid to stay back in the classroom and not being force to go out to play in the breaks is one solution I've read in a book. Shorter hours, less or no homework, less or no expectations in their learning progress can help.

Remember: Autists have to learn and cope with this new social situation first before they have the strength to progress intellectually. But even when the kid is normalizing, careful not to overwhelm them again, because they might use up all their energy for the school day and just break down at home.

School is a horrible place if there's the same treatment and the same expectations on every kid.
LOL, lots of things seem different when you are a giant island with less than half the population of California alone and largely homegenous to boot.

We use the Ubiquity Stuff and are also mostly happy, but it's not really as Enterprise-Grade as it tries to sell itself as.

We use the Ubiquity Security Gateway Pro and have for over a year now issues with it's WAN Fallback. In the beginning it simply wouldn't Fallback at all, after lot's of Customer Service and three patches it actually did it's thing, but since then whenever the fallback happened our whole connection got instable until the USG is restarted. Once we even had issues because the USG thought WAN was down because it couldn't reach Ubiquity's Ping site (It was down) and so the connection started flip-flopping between two stable connections.

Besides that the Ubiquity Needle is now firmly stuck into the arm of our Admins and all the Network Gear we buy is from Ubiquity.
More realistically, if you're a person with DSM-V diagnosable conditions and join a few "woo" groups, Facebook can easily promote flat Earth, chemtrails, black helicopter, anti vaccine, autism conspiracy, "crisis actor" related discussions and groups at you.
Maps is the only thing I rely on - I would be welcome for a replacement.
Haven’t had a single issue with my Ubiquiti AP in 2 years. None of the other consumer-grade APs even came close, I had issues with all of them (Netgear, Linksys/Cisco, AVM, Zyxel, TP-Link, MicroTik, even Apple Airport), and I wasn’t buying the lowend models either.

Most needed reboots as they’d stop working from time to time, many had flaxy Wifi or sudden long network lags for no reason, and the MicroTik even bricked itself requiring a reflash of the firmware.

Things might be different when it comes to enterprise gear.
With all the bad press npm has had, I would not put it in the clean approach bag.
Net Neutrality is about taxing content, not charging for it. Right now everyone (you, your neighbor, Netflix, Facebook, Google, ISP themselves) already pay to move bits between each other. ISPs want the ability to extort money from end-nodes of the Internet who they don't currently have any direct business relationship or physical connection with.

Right now it's all just bits come across their network from peers but if they can start blocking traffic from specific sites, like Netflix, they can also make deals to ensure that doesn't happen. Maybe even make those bits move a little bit faster.

In no way does this lead to an ad free future. It would probably lead to more ads as content providers would have additional costs to recoup that they don't currently have.

It's funny how your line of argument can seem so obviously accurate to one person (like myself) but so obviously wrong to another (like whoever has downvoted you here). FWIW, I think your distinction between advertising and dissemination of information is a good one.

Those who disagree might nevertheless be surprised to learn that recognized protection of commercial speech (i.e. advertising) by the 1st amendment is only a fairly recent legal development. I would suggest to anyone interested in the topic to revisit the arguments in Virginia State Pharmacy Board v. Virginia Citizens Consumer Council. This case, from the 1976, was a key stepping stone that paved the way for the rampant drug advertising that we have in the U.S. today. In fact, the lone dissenter, the late Justice Rehnquist, foresees precisely this outcome in his opinion, predicting almost the exact "talk to your doctor" phrasing that we have become so accustomed to decades later. By contrast, the majority justices sound like nothing other than hapless and naive dupes of an astroturfing campaign, speaking guilelessly about issuing their decision on behalf of "consumers of prescription drugs" and their right to receive "information". I doubt that they anticipated anything remotely approaching the ravages that, for example, the opioid epidemic would bring.

It's easily on my own personal "top ten" list of bad Supreme Court decisions.
Clearly you're not aware of e.g. apple maps says collection, iPhone defaults, or the apple maps business model. This rhetoric that Apple is special in this context is just the reality distortion field still rippling.
Most of these credits are rolled into your licensing agreement, even with a $20k/year SME open value I recall us getting like 4 tickets free. They aren't just tickets, at 4am in the morning with a botched Exchange upgrade (it was our fault in the end we overlooked something with certs) you have a case manager on the phone (calling you back and a direct number to him/her) then they forward you as required, you end up essentially talking to one of Exchange developers if required. The escalation path, speed, and knowledge are seriously awesome.

I don't know enough to say what their odds are, other than very long. But one day, probably in my lifetime, we'll master fusion power, and it will begin a revolution that will make the industrial revolution look like a minor event. I don't think people realize that really cheap, clean energy solves pretty much every problem of scarcity. We'll enter an age of plenty like the world has never known. Limitless energy means limitless water, food, and materials. Of course it's not really limitless, but if it's even an order of magnitude cheaper than what we have now, the possibilities would be mind blowing.

The real deal is here, from MIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkpqA8yG9T4

Apparently there was a recent breakthrough in superconductors, which allows significantly more current in the inductor coils while still maintaining superconductivity. This in turn allows for much stronger magnetic fields, hence tighter confinement of the plasma and therefore more fusion. A standard tokamak with these new superconductors should produce more energy out than energy in, and be a viable source of energy.

Isn't this what the original comment is saying though? Considering the cars are driving on the left-hand side of the road, cars in the roundabout are approaching from the right with respect to the vehicle, not the left. Or am I misunderstanding something unique for roundabouts in Australia? The way you describe it seems opposite of intuition that vehicles already within the roundabout do not have right of way.

Fusion power will probably not be particularly cheap unless we really do figure out how to build very small reactors. If big Tokamaks like ITER are the way forward we need to build these very big, very expensive power plants whose costs need to be amortized over the electricity produced.
Facebook wasn't built on trust, obviously. I would rather say it was built on the ignorance of the masses. There are a few people who never created a Facebook account, because they understood the consequence of a big American platform having all your contacts and activities.
It's literally the job of legislators to discuss issues with stakeholders to create or repeal laws or regulations. Without lobbying, do you expect politicians to just sit in their offices all day doing nothing?

"The station was founded in 2001 by Falun Gong practitioners as a Chinese-language broadcaster"[1]

They produce Shen Yun, which has a strong Falun Gong backing and definitely has an agenda, what with the final act being a giant tsunami that comes in and kills all those in the mainland[2]

They are partnered with the Epoch Times which is considered one of the biggest mouthpieces of the Falun Gong[3]

The Epoch Times, New Tang Media, and China Uncensored are all
clearly biased in one direction. I really don't know how you can say they aren't, but they don't even try to hide the fact sometimes. You have to realize that when you listen to them as you have to see their biases.

>At least, they're one of very few sources that report on China negatively from a strategic, big picture perspective.

Are you really sure about that? China uncensored doesn't go into high journalism and most of the time just dips their foot into news articles with clickbaity headlines and overly sarcastic monologues. I would much prefer something done by the FT, Economist, or NYT.

As to why I consider them fake news. I really don't trust news at face value from China Uncensored the same way I don't trust articles from places like Breitbart. They have a way of over-exaggerating the news and twisting it into an anti-China stance. I always go find extra sources and never dwell on their one single source.

I recently moved countries, and in the process, sort of stopped caring or reading about politics.

The way I see it, politics back home doesn't effect me, and I can't do anything about local politics as I can't vote.

It really is liberating to not give a shit about politics, to put it bluntly. It's one less source of stress in my life.
Re Python: pretty much :| My personal favorite is that, because of this behavior, you can install a single top-level package into a fresh virtualenv and get invalid transitive dependencies. Both in theory and in practice.

If you ever get back into Pythonlandia, do check out pip-compile - it's a properly sane package manager, following the normal SAT solving path. Major lifesaver, 100% recommended.

I enjoy the language well enough - it's readable and expressive. But it's so terrible for building a business on top of, and that's largely due to the ecosystem.
