I never much cared for any of the social media platforms because they all seem to be just gamified crap, a great example of technology making people's lives worse instead of better.

But Youtube and Twitch I like. It's kinda what cable public-access was trying to do, only way better.
I get the logic; I wonder if teen writers are attracted to platforms like medium which are both open yet have a certain "followers" aspect to it as well.
Considering that Google and Facebook have acknowledged and paid out tons of bounties, I'm going to guess that you're doing something wrong.
The initial thing though, before what you’re describing, is just getting dogs that are friendly enough not to try and eat you.

Mastodon.technology has a super nerdy and fun community. I highly recommend it!
And self-replicating robots at that! They will just require food, water, and shelter as inputs.
The US when it was industrializing? China now? Protectionism can be good for large nations/markets catching up to other nations/markets.
If politicians 1) talk about something a lot, and 2) take separate sides of the matter, then it's a political issue.

Drug addiction absolutely is a political issue, and a hot one at that. Same with race issues and immigration. White bread or wheat would be an example of a non-political issue.

It's possible that you live in a country where these are not political issues, but I'm from the USA and these topics are discussed by politicians on a daily basis. They have the secret to fixing the heroin issue, or the immigration crisis, or the Muslim terrorists, etc.

They’re priced to clear markets so that functioning goods and services are actually available at their stated prices. Whereas for some reason populists prefer public transit that’s uniformly abysmal and “affordable housing” that no individual applicant has a reasonable chance of winning.

Weird, those definitions seems backwards to me. The one for close friends seems like it should be the 'real' account.

More seriously, I will be pretty surprised if this particular stupidity escalates to any kind of military action.
...as much as I know it's pointless commenting on things...

Here's my perspective. I'm thirty, I've been in a relationship since I was 17...the same relationship..we've talked about kids a lot...at this point...I really don't think even with both of us steadily working for several years now at decent jobs we can afford to raise a kid. We've agreed we don't feel like it's fair to raise a child without being able to provide a decent standard of life and our own standard of life ia not the best as it is, despite both of us working full time, with regular overtime, at skilled jobs.

As far as online presence goes...clearly as I'm shadowbanned on here I haven't quite grasped the...uh...I would say subtlties, I suppose, of having a reasonable online presence. I haven't gotten used to the idea of the internet being a place where one posts real personal information, despite having been on the internet since the early nineties....I still see it as a place where identities don't matter and people who post personal information online are fucking idiots.

In all honesty, i've never really participated much on online communities until recently but still go about it with that nineties mindset not really understanding people are fairly hypersensitive (a bunch of little bitches) to stuff online these days.. I keep a fairly strict separation between stuff I do on a computer online and everything else in my life. I realize it's a necessity to start mixing the two...but I find it hard to combine an online presence with my real life stuff.

It's one of these thing's i've beeen working on though because i've found that's what all my friends and people I know have done.
In the context of internet privacy, you can be jailed for merely visiting websites to read the illegal opinions of others.
I can, with almost 100% confidence, assure you that upper management understands this. There is some value that those high-dollar, low-margin transactions provide that isn't realized on the company balance sheet. It could be that your company's board or investors are asleep at the wheel, or haven't looked too closely at the books, or there aren't adequate company controls.

They could be positioning for some sort of exit, or are just trying to juggle the company afloat until they solve what seems to be an unsolvable problem.

If what your saying is really true though, that would be enough to motivate me to look for another job.

It would be much worse if they were just clueless about this.
GNOME is a free software project (as self-described[0]) not merely an "open source" project. Therefore, while GitHub's place in the "open source" ecosystem and its contributions to said ecosystem are well known (and worthy of respect), it does not share in the principles of the free software community. GNOME, as a free software project (and a subproject of GNU at least nominally[1]), is inclined to select an option in line with its principles.

Lack of support for modern ciphers and secure protocols becomes a deal-breaker pretty quickly if you need to access the internet much (including third-party email servers).
There isn't anything to do on facebook for the young/youth.

The games are more for the middle aged player.

They have no list of long lost people they wish to connect with. Everyone is a friend or friend of a friend.

You can follow brands but the youth want to follow a band or an actor not a toothbrush company.

Things like poking or using a fake name or having permissions connected to school or orgs created social group that you would share related photos. Now you have to manage a list or share with everyone.

Facebook was a good way for college kids to connect with everyone from there school. They could create a new persona with fun photos/videos and show everyone how popular they are. Now you hide your friend list, avoid saying anything that you wouldn't say in front of your mother and secretly worry that anything you post will be purchased by a potential future employer enabling them to filter out your resume in record time.
Think it through though. It's easy to follow the bandwagon of guys that purport that life to be the solution (I read all this stuff too), and I thought it was too at some point. I think you should go taste that lifestyle, but I think you'd find it to be only a short term fix and the same sort of "trap" awaiting you at the end.

The solution to just simply arm yourself with all the knowledge you can, and then embark on the path to self-actualize. Between self-actualization and playing things close to your vest and smart, I think you can still make it work very well in America. Nowhere has the same purchasing power parity too for tech salaries (except maybe Switzerland).
Yes, obviously lol.

It is the primary communication tool for everyone I know in the bay area, excluding professionals that I email or teammates at code for SF that I message on slack.
Yup. Most men will actually marry down economically, but women generally marry up economically. Perhaps when this is finally noticed, men will only marry their equals. With women graduating college at higher rates, perhaps this changes?

Which is why I used the national median. And also pointed out the skewing. Since there are a ton of SWE in SF making 140-190k (and more with experience + title increases). But you're unlikely to make anywhere near that in Indianapolis, Cleveland, Mobile, etc.

Petroleum engineers, on the other hand, make 100+k in pretty much any region.

I highly doubt they would put those methods in the hands of people working at recycling centers. I feel like if, and that's a big if, they have that kind of capabilities it would be reserved for special case uses. I mean really special case uses.
I don't have many writer friends, but I think most of them post fics and stuff on tumblr and the AO3. They have the same follower model as well. In fact, on the AO3 you can't even see who follows you, only a count of how many.

Medium to me feels like it's mostly oriented for technical bloggers (even though it sucks for technical blogging!) and success bloggers that tell you to wake up at 4 AM and meditate.
Oh yeah I forgot Messenger. Discord and WhatsApp replaced that for me.
No. Sorry, you're not forming a coherent vector space between both skills and demands without published research on the subject.

You do not simply say, "Gosh it seems like I have said words related to ML and therefore its application is plausible."

What's more, the notion that recruiting is in fact a skills demand model is itself fundmentally misleading. Many of the skills you want are domain specific and in fact cannot be expected to be acquired anywhere but on the job. Given how many shops subtly permute "react" or "Golang" to mean a lot of skills in a utility cluster, any space you form is going to be incredibly specific to the employer and difficult to map anywhere else.
Your reasoning doesn't make any sense. The criteria for people to have a voice in local politics shouldn't be a test as to whether they share in "American" values, whatever that means. If you had all those neo-Nazis who marched in Charlottsville move to SF tomorrow, who are US citizens but presumably (hopefully?) don't share in American values in your view, they would have the ability to vote in local elections.

People who pay rent and establish a residence should have a voice in their local(city) elections. Full Stop. Immigrants were allowed limited voting rights in State elections until the 1920's when very anti-immigrant sentiments lead to laws that prohibit that kind of voting.
I think you mean sanctions, not tariffs or quotas. There is not a single country that does not apply tariffs or quotas.

That said, few people of any political persuasion are able to engage in that exercise.

I think you can skip mentioning blockchain in the app description.

If it is "applied blockchain", you don't have to tell everybody it's blockchain.

> Unfortunately it takes a lot more effort to build things than tear them down

I think it will take many, many years to rebuild the positive reputation that the US had among it's allies. At least from the people I've interacted with there is a universal hate for Trump at a level that I have never seen before, across a wide cross section of society. The man is reprehensible.

It takes a while to get over that, and he will forever be there. Also if he is the new normal then God help us all.

It's no game.

For YT I would say it's the depth and bredth of choice. Even for music there's no much you can't find.

There's plenty of parent-centric content as well. Working adults just have the same amount of free time so those views are lower.
More transparent maybe.

>use disorderly conduct
The police would just automatically agree with the agent, if you're not in a filmed area then you could get to go to court, be essentially forced to plead guilty, pay fines, and write an apology letter to the person who may have groped you inappropriately. Then you're on a public list, where anyone can use this possibly incorrect information against you.

The secret list actually sounds more democratic than (ab)using the court system to me since it's basically just a private account of someones opinion and everyones entitled to free speech.
One thing I did not understand is whether it supports peer-to-peer operation, or requires (at least one) routing server.

It would be wild to claim that USD is a politically controlled currency, to the point of conspiratorial, and the onus would be on you to provide proof that Trump et. al. are controlling interest rates or Fed programs. He most definitely is not.

There is no direct link between the executive/legislative and the Fed.

The Fed does what's roughly best for American economy, which disproportionately favours those with assets, banks etc. - but they are fairly independent in normal times.

In times of crises, you could start to point to some things like all those homes right now sitting on the Fed balance sheet, surely. But regular operations are not politically controlled.

But in China, the currency is literally worth whatever the government wants it to be at any time. They can literally press a button and 'poof'.

Because of the amazing control and power of the Chinese government, the RMB might be the most tightly politically controlled currency in all of history: at least all of the fiat money that failed in the past ... leaders had to water it down or print money behind the scenes over time.

Not to say that's entirely bad - one could make the claim that 'it's better for China' to have this, there'd be some good points there. But in terms of 'free trade' it's not good.

In any event, the US does not have open trade with China really, so there's constant trade tensions, there probably always will be.

I don't thin anything I'm saying is controversial or new, it just might be new data for the folks here on HN who I find are generally more tech than finance oriented.

In the latest election, the dude who won president had tweeted things like, "stay out of Syria" and "WHAT WILL WE GET FOR OUR LIVES AND $ BILLIONS?ZERO" Lots of people knew he was lying, but lots of other people voted based on those statements. Two elections before that, the dude who won president had promised to close the Guantanamo torture site, to get out of Iraq and not to start new stupid wars. Lots of people knew he was lying, but lots of other people voted based on those statements. Two elections before that, the dude who won president talked about a "humble" USA that would not be "the world police" nor take part in "nation-building". Lots of people knew he was lying, but lots of other people voted based on those statements.

Voting just isn't all it's cracked up to be!
> Everyone on the CC list for each bugzilla bug was notified 6 months ago that any bug without action in over a year would be frozen instead of migrated.

What's the relationship between the existence of a bug in the codebase and the propensity of the bug reporter to respond to an email?

Retaliatory trade sanctions have worked against America but it took almost a year for the reprecussions to bubble up and make the President change his mind after the 2002 steel tariffs were enacted by the Bush administration. The Trump specific sanctions do seem like a ripe target for a more immediate response this time.
> I don't know if it's good or bad but I feel like it is easier for me to deal with a person who's driving force is profit rather than lust for power. They seem to be more reasonable on average than powerlusters so I'd rather leave in corporate city with corporate laws provided that I can have free exit/entry if I don't like something.

Corporations may seem reasonable now, but what happens when the corporation's desires go against your own? You either suck it up, or move to the other corporate town. At least with our current society we can vote people into/out of office. With a corporation, if you aren't a major shareholder, you are powerless.

I had an SE/30 in college that I got for free somewhere (this was in the early 2000s). It worked fine, but I didn't have a network adapter that would get it on the network, so it was of limited use to me. I think it was still sitting in my parents' garage last time I looked.

Apparently (according to someone I went to college with), Apple postfixed the names of their computers with 68030 processors 'x' (eg IIfx).

They couldn't call it the SEx, so they broke convention and called it the SE/30.
Really Alphabet has the cards and will have to decide if want to give access to the Waymo cars or not.

My comment wasn't meant to be political. I'm just talking about the perspective. I'm not sure about you, but if my housing, transportation, and livelihood were threatened, I'm not going to sit back and say "oh oops looks like I'm on the other side of systemic issues, public failure, and market clearing, that's just the way the world works".

It feels backwards to me too now that you mention it. The logic is that rinsta is the "official" account, and generally the first one that people create and follow, so it's their main.

You can conceptualize it as having a main and an alt--you'd never call your alt your real account.

Just as a fun aside, the 'housing first' model that UTah adopted...was done first by LA and NY back in the late 80s/early 90s.

Also, Utah has plenty of homeless. What they've reduced (to 1/10th of what it was) is -chronic- homelessness. They still have 14k people per year spending one or more nights in an emergency shelter each year ( https://jobs.utah.gov/housing/scso/documents/homelessness201... , page #35), which is essentially unchanged since before the 'housing first' model was adopted.

What is especially interesting is that due to the inter-state differences...raw homeless numbers aren't really that telling. That is, places that are friendly to the homeless tend to have more homeless. Which...makes sense. Even Utah despite its housing policy, is not considered particularly friendly to homeless people, and there is some evidence that people leave the state when homeless ( https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/22/salt-lake-ci... ).

I basically mention this to point out that UTah isn't quite the shining beacon on how to 'solve' the homeless situation as they were touted a few years ago..and that at best their religiosity is irrelevant to that.
> our old infrastructure is awesome we just haven't been investing in it for the last 30 years due to the small government conservitard meme

I agree with the majority of your comment, but the reality of this part is actually considerably more complicated. I used to think the same way, but it turns out that we are incredibly horribly bad at efficiently doing infrastructure projects, with costs/mi tending to be some multiple of similar projects in other developed countries. This holds even when controlling for all sorts of things; my understanding is that economists in the relevant field aren't really 100% sure what the cause is.

From this perspective, the small govt argument becomes a lot more grounded in real complaints about govt's incompetency at this task, on top of their baseline ideological complaint about government not being an appropriate way to allocate capital in the first place.

FWIW, I'm pretty irritated at the horrendous inefficiency of American infrastructure projects but also think that they often are economically worthwhile despite it. But it's unfair to cast this complaint as a thoughtless "conservitard meme" in the case of infrastructure, given that the complaints are to some degree grounded in reality.
Yea I included the mechanics who do maintenance in my paragraphs when I was talking about labourers, you might have to reread that part, when I was there, they largely hang out in one roofed area within and arent utilized as heavily as you expect.

I think from a layman perspective we expect mechanics to be constantly busy and fixing and maintaining but they only fix if there are issues and with a company like Toyota the realization is that they're so experienced and familiar that the maintenance costs reduce with time simply because its cheaper and much more efficient that way and because its much easier to fix the same issues.

As well, a mechanic that is fully utilized is actually a bad thing as that means you plant is constantly being shut down to fix things and not producing cars, as thats how you fix things in a TPS system.

Also car plants nowadays are wonderfully automated, the materials were being shipped around using driverless carts with sensors and music to alert people or things in their way. Its also suprisingly devoid of human noise aside from the machines clanking.
It's not economic. People have been poor for hundreds and thousands and millions of years, and yet they still had children.
Everything you described is why I'm terrified of my hometown Indianapolis (where I plan to move back in a couple of years and set down roots by buying a house) courting Amazon for HQ2. Having lived in one overpriced tech hub I'm not ready to fight that fight again, and I don't necessarily trust a tech giant's presence among the Unigov central Indiana experiment to provide much for anyone but folks who feed the monster.

Probably straying close to striking the heads off of poppies by saying this but it's a real concern I have while simultaneously wanting to see my hometown thrive.

Weird spot to be in.
FB is kinda boring. But as a work break or time killer (over TV) it's good enough __for most adults__. But if I were a teen again I probably wouldn't use it much. It's not fulfilling enough.
