Just chiming in that this is how the bigger software dev agencies do it as well. I worked at Viget (www.viget.com) and now at Pivotal (pivotal.io) on the biz dev / sales side and spending time on pre-sales analysis is key to making a software project successful and thus winning the deal / securing the contract.
Perhaps they're turning to group chats and imessages? Any meaningful use of instagram, snap, or similar platform introduces ads into your "friend news stream", whereas simplicity of whatsapp or similar platform avoids them, while preserving fluidity of communication.
This but unironically.

Societies have used shunning as a way to regulate themselves for thousands of years. There's no reason why we can't do the same thing on the Internet.

The only problem is that the power to shun is being concentrated into too few hands. A group that blames the Jews for literally everything[1] should be shunned, but it shouldn't just be up to one guy to decide that.

The Daily Stormer deserves everything they got. The fact that they've bounced from provider to provider means that the free market is operating correctly; they're being shunned. But as CDN's buy each other out, that gets to be less of a solution.

I don't know where you're getting your information about Python from. It's popularity has skyrocketed in recent years. Search Indeed's API for title:python and location:London. 412 Python jobs compared with 278 for Node.js. What's also interesting is that there are currently 35% more Django jobs than Rails in London whilst at Angel.co they're about even.

>People protest all the time in similar ways.

Sure, that is why protesters are routinely arrested even though the first amendment exists.

>Also, you can block people/bots on social media.

The sole responsibility of policing and punishing this behavior should not fall on the victims of this behavior.
It's not common usage in us and given its pejorative association I think the edit provides clarity :)
I can't help but notice how Poe's Law [1] is at work here, and many commenters downthread differ in opinion whether this post is satirical or serious.

Feels like ripping out an internal organ, eh? This is advised against strongly.
We might be at a local maximum, but we're nowhere near the peak. What we're seeing is an end of the race to the bottom.

What's happened is that most of the major social networks only hire and promote people who make decisions primarily based on analytics. As a result these sites no longer have any real communities or organic content, and have been completely hollowed out by math-friendly refrigerator magnet junkfood. Even though everyone can recognize that most users no longer find these experiences to be compelling, they're all stuck in a one-way spiral.

Web 3 is just getting started though, and with new technologies are going to come novel and compelling forms of social interaction.
The answer is obvious: anti-drone drones. Military units and major political figures will need to have swarms of anti-drone drones patrolling their vicinity.

Things like auto-targeting lasers might work too, but the way the way to fight technology is with better technology.

Again, no CEO is preventing people from publishing things. You can setup your own server and publish anything you want unless it’s in a few illegal categories. Your position seems to be that your desire not to pay for hosting confers some sort of right to compel other people to pay for it but that’s simply not true.
The Tesla gives around 5 hours of range per hour of charging in a standard 120VAC outlet, so if your car is parked 12 hours overnight, your one-way commute has to be less than 30 miles.
It depends on the exact architecture; on x86 the exact logic of the INT instruction is quite involved (see e.g. https://x86.puri.sm/html/file_module_x86_id_142.html for details) but when changing privilege levels, the CPU automatically switches stacks too.
Seems like just a Snap peak to me. Article doesn't mention Instagram, its most direct competitor, or tons of other non-Facebook/Twitter social networks that are gaining popularity (Reddit, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitch, even WhatsApp, and many country-specific ones).

I think the ai isn't winning on superior speed and reaction time alone (but it is indeed a factor).

Computers already have perfect memory and recall, so when the image recognition tech becomes good enough to only rely on the visual input, are you then going to say the bot must now limit its recall to "human" levels?
It is way more expensive for households with two working parents to raise children than it is for households with one working parent, and as a result it is possible that even fewer Japanese people would elect to have children.
Well that's a pretty shitty view.

I've got an iPad I use regularly and develop for so I know iOS inside and out. My wife has an iPhone and I have to support all her bullshit all the time. I've been using Android since the Galaxy S2 and I'll keep my Android thank you very much.

I'd trade my iPad for a new Nexus 7 in a heartbeat were one available. My non-tech savvy parents have been using Android for years. They don't give a shit about Apple.

I don't think your characterization is accurate at all.

Nim is still the best language I know of in terms of clean code, speed, metaprogramming, FFI, etc.

And I think a sharded and/or light client/browser for Ethereum could actually replace banking and potentially a ton of other applications if it becomes popular. The trick will be all of the competition in terms of clients.

Rather than Dapp browsers I would like to see a lightweight mobile client library and server combo that would allow me to just build a freestanding app. Maybe just a lightweight client rather than an actual node. Or maybe have a way to install the ethereum node server only if it's not already there.

But with when sharding actually comes online I am very hopeful that Ethereum will blow up. So I may buy some more Ether tonight.
Arts & crafts. They’re all ‘makers’ now.
I think history shows that we don't actually do it that well, I gave one example from recent history and I think a quick study will show that elections, in general, are easily undermined.

We want machines because they are indifferent. We can develop machine based voting systems that have a voter-verifiable receipt. We can reduce the cost of our elections and reduce the number of trusted people that must be involved with them. It removes the most common sources of error from our current flawed implementation of our democratic ideals.

Expanding upon this, if we make voting cheap and easy enough, we may actually be able to expand our democracy for more direct participation at all levels of government and reduce our reliance on the currently flawed implementation of our representative system.

Why would we _not_ want this? The major problem, as I see it, is that states are not assembling expert panels to either purchase or work with other states to collaboratively build a good system directly. The government purchasing process certainly plays a factor here as well, and voting systems should be classified as critical infrastructure to allow a more rational approach to their procurement and/or development.
> smaller state governments maintain some influence.

Which is another way of saying, having some people's voices worth 3 or 4 times more than others. And the sparser the region you live in, the higher the multiplicative effect.

Rocks, trees, grass don't get a say in govt, people do. And all people should be weighted equally. Unfortunately, our current system does the opposite of that.
Chiming in as a 28 year old who was having a generally great time with iTunes, buying music and having it backed up in the cloud on by behalf was definitely something I enjoyed until Apple changed directions and kept pushing Apple Music. Now iTunes and my Music app are nerfed enough that I don’t buy music through my phone anymore.

I’m happy to pay if it’s easy. But I would like to own access to my music/movies/tv. Even if it costs a bit more.
I've said this in similar threads and a reasonable counter-example is that in very rural places there aren't even enough gas stations (south eastern Oregon and north western nevada for example). However, for my truck I can easily bring a spare 5 gallons in a jerry can, I don't think doing that with an EV is possible yet (practically or economically). With an EV, however, you can charge at limited speed overnight from a regular outlet giving you some added flexibility.
I have been around a long time, and have observed many different presidential administrations. Some I liked and some I disliked. But I have never seen one that lied one tenth as often as the present one.

Wrong. Most of Europe (especially Germany) is actually at a higher latitude than New England.
This line of discussion seems unproductive. Various business professionals are pretty uncontroversially included in the term "yuppie."

This is true regardless of whether you think they hold the same prestige, cachet, etc. of lawyers and doctors and regardless of whether there should be licensing and regulation of, say, investment banking.
My initial reaction to your posting is reinforced.

If the parties are significantly different when it comes to existential threats to the US, then most issues are a distraction. If we're not talking about millions of lives or trillions of dollars or the political destruction of the country, they may in fact be very harmful distractions when the issue is voting correctly.

I interpret comments like yours as not genuinely engaging person-to-person, but rather demonstrating how to submit to a certain way of thinking, perhaps to normalize it for third party readers.

Do you know any companies that have hired programmers to do deep learning who don't have a relevant PhD? I'm not trying to be insulting, but it's hard for me to determine who has actual, practical, first-hand knowledge of hiring practices for deep learning/ML and who doesn't.

See, that’s the problem with anecdotal evidence based on your own bubble. I’m in the exact opposite position - literally everyone I know that would buy (or already owns) an electric car also owns a house.

Watch the range over time, though. The cells in even the latest Nissan Leafs do not have any charge or temperature conditioning for the batteries, so they are likely to age poorly basically anywhere with more than 1 season.

If you care for the batteries nicely (drive slow, don't slam accelerator, avoid winter), I'm sure they'll last a good long time, but the battery is a consumable that will need to be replaced sooner than most other major components, I think the Leaf has them under the rear seats, and may be a pain to deal with. If your Leaf has fast charging, it's advised to avoid using it too often because it will heat the batteries and may reduce charge over time.

I guess the skimping of quality here seems short-sighted, but every EV has some weird, questionable choices to cut down on weight.

For what it's worth, I didn't mean my comment that started this thread to be Apple bashing at all. I think it's pretty reasonable for Apple to ignore this market; it's quite niche. It's just also a bummer because their laptops were the pinnacle of what I want in a computer for a long time.
Sure, make it "up to diffeomorphism". The shapes you get fit in a larger class of piecewise-smooth closed surfaces, but all the interesting information is encoded in the polyhedron.

Note that the other shapes they're dealing with - e.g. prisms - also don't have planar faces (but are defined as having such on Wikipedia).

The point is that mathematical definitions are quite malleable, and depend on the context.

"Lop a vertex off a prism and deform a bit" is hardly a radical notion in itself.

As for combining these shapes - the term for that is tiling or tessellation. You can tesselate the space with all kinds of shapes. The "faces match" is a property of objects a tessellation, not of any given object in itself.
M3QL still is the primary query language internally, however the query service is still being rebuilt in open source M3 - so it’s not available just yet.

As to why we’ve kept it, there’s been such a large amount of functions we’ve added over time that don’t really have an alternative in say PromQL, etc - so we aim to offer both PromQL and M3QL in open source land and letting end users use either one. I don’t think either are better than the other one, they’re just different flavors - function expansion vs pipe based, etc.

Here’s the list of functions, you can kind of get a sense of what I’m talking about just by looking at the list:

To the extent that they are strong-armed by governments to carry out government mandates, they are. In some nations, governments may require companies to regulate speech, and in those cases it is hard to argue that these companies are not acting on behalf of the state.
What makes it dirty?
> It’s because args to syscalls are passed in registers rather than the stack. This is a security mechanism I believe, but I’m mostly guessing based on xv6.

It's probably for speed reasons. Marshaling from user space is expensive due to all of the checks you have to make to not allow user to crash kernel.

> Basically, if you want a kernel space and a user space, you have to ensure users can’t breach kernel space. But this is the part where my logic runs dry: could a malicious caller control the return address that’s pushed to the stack? If so, could you redirect the kernel’s execution to an arbitrary physical address? Or does the kernel switch back into user mode just before calling RET?

Return from interrupt uses the special iret instruction. That makes sure that the return happens in a user context if need be by atomically setting the flags and ip registers at the same time.

With the number of Adam Sandler movies Netflix produced points to you and people that complain about lack of content on Netflix being in a minority. The market for high brow content is very small which you can tell by the kind of tvshows that keep getting renewed and cancelled each season.

Both recent Xbox and PlayStation hardware should support Vulkan just fine, so it is dirty political and anti-competitive tactic not to support it there.

But if MS will try banning things like translation layers, they already can get some anti-trust pushback. Apple while being complete lock-in jerks, so far didn't prevent usage of MoltenVK on their systems. Recent incident with using private APIs was resolved, and Apple allowed applications that use MoltenVK back on iOS.

I think there are huge benefits if power was charged at spot rates that were very visible (and actionable). IE its a warm sunny day with lots of wind, the thermostat will let you go down to 74 degrees with AC because power is cheap. If its a warm still evening, let it be warmer in the house to save money. Similarly, run the washer and dryer when its sunny and windy. If power is expensive this week maybe we can't take that weekend trip.
I've noticed that myself (especially if there's a gas station nearby with a green-LED price sign). The green traffic light is, at least to my eyes, noticeably blue-green/aquamarine, where the gas station sign is emerald green.

A TAC-338 sniper rifle weighs in at a whopping 11lbs. There are off the shelf camera gimbals that can easily hold a 120lbs camera dead still from as far away as you care to film.

Using a little known SF electrical code that allows DIY electrical work in a fully detached house

If you did this in my property, when I found out what you did, you'd be in violation of the lease and paying me to have a licensed electrician out to inspect the work and do anything needed to bring it up to code.

I can't imagine why your landlord is ok with a tenant's DIY electrical work, since the landlord is the one on the hook if it goes bad now or in the future.
BIND looks fantastic but I really like the restricted nature of acme-dns -- I don't know much about DNS and I don't want to inherit a huge amount of functionality that I don't know how to properly administer -- I really only want to manage a nameserver for acme challenges.

Surely forcing change will cause more wasted cables than maintaining the status quo.

Plus Apple uses lightning in many more products than the iPhone; so unless they're going to force companies to standardise on cables for charging set top box remote controls (for example) then it's not going to have the desired effect long term.

TLDR: Outsourcing our election administration is the second biggest threat to election integrity.

The driver is profit motive.

The push for touchscreens was because vendors wanted to juice their valuations (from 3x revenue for services to 7x for products).

The push for postal balloting, internet voting, etc is because now vendors are back to pitching themselves as services companies, the difference this time being the are now charging per registered voter (vs per ballot counted).

Reliability, security, appropriateness are not even part of the conversation.
To add to this, there's also Nextdoor, Discord, YouTube, Telegram, Life360 etc depending on how you define a social network. I'm pretty sure all of these are growing significantly both in the US and abroad.

Not to mention all the Asian social networks that are growing like crazy.

My theory is that Snap just doesn't have enough differentiation either as a product or as an audience to be sustainable as an independent entity long term (caveat: Snap in today's form). I don't know how long they'll be able to retain their core unique demographic and most loyal users when the action is all happening on Instagram. I get the feeling it'll be one of those shifts that happens slowly at first, and then quickly - especially if the company makes major missteps (like the recent redesign fumble) or becomes too stagnant. However, I believe Snap still has enough time and money to change that trajectory with the right vision and leadership.

That entirely depends on what the parents do. Certainly doctors generally make more than caregivers so in this specific case the family would net more with a physician mother. There is also evidence that female children of working mothers tend to go on to better education and career outcomes themselves, so this is effectively a heritable advantage for some offspring.
