That's weird that you have to download from a whole other instance, I would have thought the client requests what it needs when it needs it, and points to some sort of UUID to another instance that can be queried later by a client.

I'm really lovestruck by the capabilities of ActivityPub and I want to work on a federated Tumblr alternative, but I just have not found the time with all the personal stuff I have going on currently, but ideally you wouldn't store everything on your instance (unless you rather cache it, now THAT makes perfect sense to me) you would let a browser request certain things via AJAX and maybe your instance could tell the other instance, hey guy you keep asking me for this waaay too often, can you cache it for me? kthxbai and those who don't do it would be considered broken instances and possibly rejected? Not sure I feel like the protocol is still way too young. Also not sure about the security implications but let's assume that sane SSL cryptomagic is a requirement for blogging instances (or just all of them).

Cant imagine why not. People moved on from Foursquare, Koprol, Path & BBM. And Instagram and whats-app themselves are basically eating the original facebooks time-in-app for breakfast.

Social networks just don't seem to be as sticky as you would imagine them to be. The network effect sure helps your grow fast - but it isn't a very powerful moat, especially when platforms tend to decrease in quality with increase in users.
I wonder what the "batteries are our Saviour" narrative stems from?

Batteries will at best be viable when Solid State Batteries come around which could be another 20 to 30 years. Clearly electrifying lines can only take you so far even in a uniformly populated country like Germany.

Major cost factor of trains is infrastructure. Electric lines are a massive investment when it comes down to maintenance. Hydrogen can use already existing diesel infrastructure. It is quiet and relatively green when you consider that it can be used to store energy when wind and solar are generating a surplus.
>I've never been like this. I've actually really liked virtually all of the widely panned UI redesigns over the years: iOS 7, every version of Windows, every evolution of Facebook.

Same. And I still hate the new Reddit. Not because of the new design but because of how slow it is and because they have shifted CPU usage from their servers to my computer.
As someone who has seen others do this as well as being a manager who tends to rehire people, again and again, I would say "it depends".

Leaders tend to build connections with people who have personalities, goals, and/or work ethics that are similar or compatible with that leader. So if you like that particular leader/manager it's more then likely those followers will be good. The opposite is also often true.

As people move into more senior management roles there is an expectation that you have built some form of network.
Because of security. Hydrogen is pretty dangerous, much more dangerous than anything else.
Yup, the notion we have 2000 pound private vehicles that seat 4 but are occupied on average by 1.5, which sit idle for 22 hours of the day and take up prime real estate nearby humans due to their very function design, running on toxic fumes, is insane.

These should be automated as soon as possible, running on electricity which produces less Co2 and moves any toxic fumes outside of population centres, should near 100% occupancy, should near 0% idleness, and should see few reasons to be private, and should not take up valuable space.

This should be in reach in a few decades, I hope it won't take 7 either!
There isn't a "better" life. It's all the same in the end, we'll all be nobodies.
I get where your questions are coming from but the real problem was that we were first a family then business people. In my culture, there is a alot of respect accorded to the elderly. We brought up not to question people older than us. So much so I struggled at work to call people older than me by their first name.

It is fraud. Some of the family members wanted us to get the others arrested but this isn't so easy when you are family. It literally ends up with you getting your cousin's dad arrested, the same cousin you grew up playing soccer with. We collected money for a lawyer to sort it out but that dragged on and on.

I now have first had experience of the saying that "the love of money is the root of all evil". None of us had quit our jobs so we moved on. I hold no grudge, just took the lessons.

That's the problem with the vast majority of modern social networks, they're effectively designed from the ground up as a huge bait and switch: be user friendly to attract a community then become advertiser friendly when the community is well established and the network effects mean that most of it is captive. Even if 90% of reddit users are unhappy with the way the platform is run most of them probably won't consider giving up on their favorite subreddits. It's the same situation with Youtube, Facebook and others, and I'm sure it'll eventually be that way with Discord and whatever other flavor-of-the-year social network is popular these days.

As far as I can tell the only way around that is distributed and/or not-for-profit social networks where the users are actually in charge. MWWA: Make the Web a Web Again.
Swiss is a tiny, uniformly populated country. This is not an option for countries like France, Germany, Russia, China, India, etc. where you'd have to built high voltage infrastructure in places where the next power station is 300 miles away.

So this uncle was elected as the chairperson and given power of attorney to register everything on our behalf. The capital city is a good 800km away and we all had day jobs. As I said in another comment, the true problem was we (I) believed a family member wouldn't screw us like that. So it was literally a handshake agreement.
> does that count as sex discrimination?

In a practical legal sense, generally no. Discrimination against a class that many believe is already over-represented is almost never prosecuted. It can happen, in fields (e.g. nursing) or workplaces where men are the minority, but it's rare. Otherwise, the attitude is that no social good comes from prosecuting such cases. Not saying it's right or wrong, and undoubtedly such discrimination can create real victims, but that seems to be the prevailing view.
I've always thought some sort of straightforward partitioning strategy, even the simple one from Building Scalable Web Sites[1], or the Instagram model, would fit pretty nicely over most over multiple Reddit product dimensions -- partition by subreddit (with special instances for exceptionally busy reddits), partition by domain, etc.

Good for you. Question: Do credit cards still exists, outside of your bubble?
That's certainly true to some extent. But sometimes the right thing to do is to not get involved. In the Great Lakes Refugee Crisis[1] Medecins Sans Frontieres and other private aid groups pulled out when they realized that their money was going to buy guns for Rwandan Génocidaires. But the UN thought they had a mandate to help refugees no matter what and in the end we had the Congolese Civil Wars which were much, much worse than the refugee crisis could possibly have gotten on its own. You can say that they weren't foreseeable and I'd agree but it's easy to imagine the Hutu forces managing to retake Rwanda and finish their genocide, for example.

Pedestrianisation works well in European cities, especially small ones. It's quite common here in the UK, often there are strict time limits on when delivieries can be made, e.g. 6-8am when barriers are open to let vehicles in and out.

However this model just does not work in the US, outside of very few places. US cities are designed for cars, and without major redevelopment everything's just too far apart - even within the context of a single street - for this to make sense. If you had electric scooters or something though...
The relationship is cT/2, where c is the speed of light, and T is the pulse length, if the waveform is CW. Note that in this case T can limit the minimum range you can detect. Or you can use c/(2B) where B is the bandwidth of the signal as you stated. I believe the limit is wavelength/2 for resolution though.
Unless Reddit's userbase is shrinking (share value drops), they'll shove their re-design to all users' throat. I guarantee it.
This may be shocking to people with an American upbringing, but cars (especially privately owned ones) just do not make sense going forward.

Cities get bigger and denser, and wasting a big % of land on parking spaces, roads, intersections and accepting a horrible air quality (that reduces citizen life spans and health quality) and noise pollution just does not make any sense anymore. Carse are effective in less dense regions, but in modern cities other solutions have to be found. Mass transit, biking lanes, electro-scooters, (elevated)-footpaths are the way to go. Maybe even electric ridesharing.

But privately owned gasoline-guzzlers are an archaic solution to the transportation problem, and they are not effective in today's society.

I know european cities are much more pedestrian friendly & that US cities in general are more oriented towards the car lifestyle, but as said previously, this needs to change. It is a big cultural and infrastructure change over a longer timespan, but it is achievable.

Of course change always requires some sacrifice, and I imagine the car-drivers in above mentioned article must have been plenty pissed at the beginning. But they paved over the streets, made the inner city pedestrian only, and now they are better for it. Of course this is a very small town and these changes do not scale up as easily as one would like, and much more complex projects will have to be designed for bigger cities. But it is doable (see initiatives in e.g. Madrid, Munich & most of the netherlands) and "only" requires some long-term commitment. But we all know how good politicians are at that (what's global warming??).

I want to finish this comment with a call to engage in democracy. Make your opinion heard, loudly, go to the voting polls, participate in your local council, actually engage in politics. Because if you do not, no significant change will be made any time soon.
It actually takes so much space away with "get app" nagging that I've got about 2 lines of text for actually editing a post. Which is then not properly scrolled into view so you're basically editing blindly.

What's also confusing is that when you're pressing the "send" button, it doesn't give feedback until after about a couple seconds or so. Meanwhile, thinking it didn't "take", you're frantically pressing "send" again a couple of times, which results in as many posts because reddit also doesn't have double-post suppression. Makes you really look like an idiot.

Hint: aggressive "get app" placing actually signals to never, ever load the app. I can't believe reddit's strategy of making the mobile web experience so annoying that folks are giving in to install the app is a winning one.
> I think the problem is that people always, without exception, hate UI/UX change, and companies know this and have learned to just ignore the objections of their users.

I think this is only partly true.

Most of the time new designs come with a few side effects like being really slow or buggy, but then over time those things get ironed out.

For example, the new gmail UI is a nice improvement but it's buggy. Clicking into an email won't flag it as read if you leave the email quickly so you end up with a bunch of unread emails that you actually read which in turn makes me hate the new UI due to a bug. I'm concerned because this was around way back when they announced the opt in beta and it's still not fixed after forcing it on users.
For the last part: If the cars, for the most part, actually are able to read signs (which they should), the RFID would serve as additional security.

And in this case, any discrepancy would be reported back by any car passing by, so the error could be corrected quickly.
It might add to the understanding, for those who are familiar with some other legacy stuff, to note that the cbm serial data port was a reimplementation of ieee488/gpib in a shift register style to cut down on the cabling cost. It was synchronus but some fastloader software reimplemented it in an async fashion (thanks to being able to upload code to the drive) along with changing the clk wire to be another data wire.

Ha! And oh, how I did try to be like you.

And oh, how I did get railroaded into endless eons of meetings, where no coding shall occur.

And oh, how I did get overruled by the scrum master, the moment I tried to deviate from the script of this iteration's sprint. Engineering manager, though I was.

And oh, how planning and retros taught us no lessons at all. How they were just working lunches at a hoteled desk via Skype. No desk. No one to look in the eye. No credible threat in hand.

No large, faceless corporation will ever get another hour of my time. Not even the time it would take to destroy them. For they do it to themselves by driving people like me away.
I'm an avid reddit user but I completely agree with you. The redesign is outright horrible to the point that if they stop allowing the old design (old.reddit.com) sometime in the future and force me on the new design I will most likely just stop using reddit.
That's a nice insight, I'll be sure to check with the dev next time it happens to see if it's actually helping or not.

I personally do it in crunch situations for the following reasons:
1. Since there are more eyes on the code being written, mistakes made are an intersection of what either the driver or navigator would make.
2. It makes the developer less likely to procrastinate. I only use this as a last resort though and timebox it to an hour.
I think that last part is a joke.

I think a lot of the time we should learn from good/successful OSS projects

- Have clear rules about code quality, how to get code in, enforce rigorously

- Have open, written discussions about what is going to happen next (Agile can do this, most of us take the lazy option)

- discuss ad nauseum

- try out new things - lots of spikes. The spike to new code ratio for a mature product should be large

- then and only then worry about the way you fit into politics and people
It’s awesome to use a product designed by people who are genuinely excited about it, about design, about making collaboration better.

Iliad, book 9, Achilles speaking:

My fates long since by Thetis were disclosed,
And each alternate, life or fame, proposed:
Here if I stay, before the Trojan town,
Short is my date, but deathless my renown;
If I return, I quit immortal praise
For years on years, and long-extended days.
Convinced, though late, I find my fond mistake,
And warn the Greeks the wiser choice to make;
To quit these shores, their native seats enjoy,
Nor hope the fall of heaven-defended Troy.

To add to that there's also the difference between cycles spent executing an instruction and how many of those instructions can be executed at once in the pipeline. So there is a difference between executing a set of instructions once versus executing them millions of times.
Omega 3 vetzuren-Deze voeding met gezonde vetzuren moet je meer eten
This is a well-known problem.

Hypotheses must be continually verified anew by experience. In an experiment they can generally be subjected to a particular method of examination. Various hypotheses are linked together into a system, and everything is deduced that must logically follow from them. Then experiments are performed again and again to verify the hypotheses in question. One tests whether new experience conforms to the expectations required by the hypotheses. Two assumptions are necessary for these methods of verification: the possibility of controlling the conditions of the experiment, and the existence of experimentally discoverable constant relations whose magnitudes admit of numerical determination. If we wish to call a proposition of empirical science true (with whatever degree of certainty or probability an empirically derived proposition can have) when a change of the relevant conditions in all observed cases leads to the results we have been led to expect, then we may say that we possess the means of testing the truth of such propositions.

With regard to historical experience, however, we find ourselves in an entirely different situation. Here we lack the possibility not only of performing a controlled experiment in order to observe the individual determinants of a change, but also of discovering numerical constants. We can observe and experience historical change only as the result of the combined action of a countless number of individual causes that we are unable to distinguish according to their magnitudes. We never find fixed relationships that are open to numerical calculation. The long cherished assumption that a proportional relationship, which could be expressed in an equation, exists between prices and the quantity of money has proved fallacious; and as a result the doctrine that knowledge of human action can be formulated in quantitative terms has lost its only support.
