That's an interesting question, but I've yet to see a plan for equalizing social capital and status that didn't include "raise taxes on the rich". Perhaps you know of one?
There are also a number of people who primarily share content rather than create/write it as well.

Me, I personally treat it like a blog in the sense that I'm there to either "like" it, go past it, or go to the comments section.

Regardless, reproducing Facebook via personal websites would be daunting if not impossible. One, not everyone is going to feel comfortable doing HTML/CSS/JS or even working in a CMS w/ drag-and-drop/WYSIWYG. Two, if I know your name (and if it isn't unique enough, we either share connections or I know some other details about you you've posted), I can search for you on Facebook. How easily can that be created with personal websites when you're also searching against the broader web (good luck searching for your friend Mercedes's personal site. Have a friend named Mike Rowe and you guys joke about how his name is like that one guy with the tv show? Best of luck finding his site too).

And we can argue "but the user can take back control of their data" which on face value is true, the problem is that I think for a lot of people I know on Facebook, they don't care. At least the convenience outweighs the concerns. And that's fine, that's their right. They weighed the pros/cons and found Facebook to have agreeable compromises. As do businesses that sell on Amazon I'm sure.

I do want a solution that gets away from Facebook. The problem is it needs to be something that is easy enough for a non-tech user to manage and consume. If it is more difficult than Facebook, it can't hope for being anything more than a niche.
The magic usually missing from RSS is really good recommendation/discovery. I've got a list of feeds I follow, and that's all I'll ever get.
I'd be surprised to hear of a case where price controls work, since it would go contrary to the core tenets of micro-economics. Do you have a link where I could read your source about this?
Not if you use a distributed system like IPFS.

There is a technical workaround for any form of censorship - the real question is how difficult it is for ordinary folk to us.
we the people want to be secure in our papers... increasingly those papers are virtual now and scattered all over the internet.

Elon Musk's tunnel project is a bad joke
Because the recipient could see the message and respond to the message inside the Netflix UI.

I am about to change my mind on the GDPR. If Spotify and Netflix are legally obligated to not store any data they do not need, then Facebook can actually make an additional argument that it is ok to give them wider access; after all, the law will ensure they have to handle it properly.
My sentiments exactly. Well-said. I've experimented with distributed/decentralized social tools as they've come along since back to 2005 or so and even tried my hand at making "easy" interfaces to them. So far, it's all exciting but nothing has stuck in a way that looked mainstream to me. Nonetheless, I still have a lot of energy for it because I think something will come together.

Your idea of nations "their ancestors spent hundreds of generations creating is historical fiction. A hundred generations is around 2500 years. Look at some maps of migrations in Europe over the last 2500 years, and the idea of people mostly staying put over that time frame is demolished.

Modern English is a West Germanic language, coming from the Germanic tribes that pushed aside the Celts, for example. The reason it doesn't sound more like Dutch and German being the Norman invasion and subsequent exchange with the French. Modern German on the other hand isn't closer to Dutch or Danish than it is because High German from the South has supplanted the Low German native to Northern Germany, parts of the Netherlands and Southern Denmark as political shifted in the last 100-200 years.

And from the UK at least, it is clear that the people who care most are the people who have the least experience with it.

It's about fear, where origin is a proxy.
Single ended triodes of low to no degeneration are not the same current profile as a JFET.

The Child Langmuir law has a 3/2's exponent, so you get 2nd and 3rd for the single ended case. Further, virtually all guitar amps have a push pull amplifier output (of questionable symmetry) operating into the speaker, so the even order terms are cancelling to some degree here.

The general character of many tube amps is to make a smooth transition from predominantly 2nd order distortion to a mixture of odd order harmonics. This ends up as primarily the 3rd order as a guitar amp speaker makes a heck of an underdamped lowpass filter.

Between the cathode bias bypass caps, the dc blocking caps, and the RC behavior of grid stopper resistors combined with the Miller capacitance, guitar amplifiers have a lot of internal bandwidth filtering that reduces IMD amplitudes.

---

JFET current behavior in the saturation range is as you say, but not necessarily so in the ohmic region. Generally people using JFETs in these circuits use at least some of their ohmic range behavior.

Since you have skill and experience in this area, and also have a tube amp kit, I suggest googling for "Tubes 201." This is an excellent summary article for the behavior of vacuum tubes.

Also, Aiken amplification website, and Merlin Blencowe's book I mentioned yesterday you would find to be good reads.
I'm curious if there are any blind programmers who prefer OSX to Windows when it comes to screen reading software. I used to own a Mac and found Voiceover easy to get started with, but not very efficient compared to Jaws for Windows. I'm not sure if this is because I didn't use it enough or if Jaws and possibly NVDA are better for experienced screen reader users who want all the easily accessible shortcuts.
Most of projects are shitty. Because devs are failed at reusing abstractions, which lead to increasing complexity as project grows.
Reusing abstraction into useful libraries is what devs should do, not features implementation.
We(I)'ve been doing it already
> Ech. But first I need to get back to work on a search engine that would _not_ index ad serving pages with possible option of filtering out JS serving pages.

Please do, I would be all over that :)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18708325

I already use duckduckgo and fall back to !g, I'd love to try an ad/bloat-filtering search engine first, and fall back to ddg and google from there.

As for filtering JS, I guess the main point for me whether it uses JS to render anything in the first place, or just to enhance. E.g. even HN has some Javascript, but it's fully usable without.
This TED video tuned me into this research earlier in 2018, and while not rigorously tested, there are some even more interesting hypotheses that are being sussed out of the experiment:

I would guess that even on the most inexpensive FPGA (iCE40 for example) you could run a 6502 at at least 20 MHz, and fit some display logic on there as well.

> Most sites I see nowadays are not in any way more effective for their deep use of frameworks.

It’s both amusing and sad to see modern web developers criticize Java for being “bloated” because they don’t understand the Abstract Factory-pattern (fairly light-weight, 2 levels), while themselves are using infinitely more complex and heavy frameworks to render what is more often than not is just static HTML.
As a very frequent Amtrak rider, I’m pretty conflicted here. On one hand, climate change is bad. On the other hand, giving the Amtrak fleet a bath, or altogether destroying it sounds pretty good to me.
Having never used Boxes before, I was excited for a better VM management tool than virt-manager.

However, I just tried using it (on Debian stretch), and unfortunately I have to agree that it doesn't do much beyond look pretty.

afaict you could only go to consoles, check a few resource usage graphs, send power commands and manage snapshots. There were very few configuration options and no ability to manipulate virtual hardware on existing machines.
Also, there was no way to add remote libvirt instances from the GUI, and adding them into the config file (qemu+ssh) just made boxes crash.

If virt-manager really is going to be deprecated, is there a good replacement out there?

edit: Holy crap, it also managed to hibernate all the running VMs on my dev box when it crashed!?! Glad I didn't have anything too important running on it!
Without the extension VirtualBox VMs are pretty much shit.
> It is so, so easy, to be living and working in big cities like Toronto (me), SF (a bunch of you), NY, Chicago, et cetera, and truly forget the context of the absolutely awful experience a lot of people have online outside of these urban epicentres.

To be fair, many urban companies are designing for urban and suburban users. Your advanced analytics dashboard product is not for Cletus in rural Alabama.

If 30% of your target users don't have broadband, then you should design with that in mind. If 0.01% of your users don't have broadband, then you should ignore them.
> 'ever closer union clause' is not tantamount to arbitrary Federalization of powers. It's mostly a strategic view.

"Ever closer union" was a compromise, because those who favour full federalisation know it would be impossible for some member states to accept.

In the case that Medicare is expanded and is optional, medicare will have the following fair challenges: it has to compete with other private insurances, which means is has to pay as much, and any administrative cost dissipates, in fact it gets worse, as providers still have to do multiple billing.
If it has to charge ,it will also have to turn away patients. It it doesnt charge, everyone will have medicare, and private insurance will not provide services that medicare gives for free or without restriction.

Up to this point, "single payer" has not provided a single cost reduction means.

Could you make it so we don't have to log out to see the link to that page.
Yes, actually.
1. There is no record of an explicit permissions check, and there are records of other checks.

2. Facebook has acknowledged (multiple times, now) giving read/write access as long as you were logged in through Facebook to one of these systems - you don't have to explicitly enable it and engage the message service, which is what OP was saying.

3. They say: "No third party was reading your private messages, or writing messages to your friends without your permission."
They aren't saying that no third party was reading or writing messages, just that you gave it permission to do so. Unfortunately, that permission was, again, not explicitly given. It was a blanket (access data) permission. Facebook has a documented and admitted history of obfuscating what permissions you are actually giving it - the messaging app being one example.

Maybe we need some kind of open specification for "the living web" so companies like tripod/angelfire can support the spec.

Maybe where you would sign into your own site and it would have polled posts from all the sites you follow (probably with rss) into a single feed. Your site IP is your identity, so commenting etc would be done as your site e.g., `MentallyRetired.com says: Hey these are cool!`

I dont know, just shooting from the hip, but it seems a lot of these technologies are possible. I remember signing into places with my website.

But it needs to be EASY. As easy as Facebook. And backwards compatible to avoid breakage.

This is one reason why we need regexes (to name just one point) in browser and other search. I've said before in other places that Gmail could benefit from an SQL-like query language, for example. So could many other web and non-web apps. Google search too. One potential issue is excessive load on the servers if it gets used a lot, though.
The problems the UK has and the US has are completely different. Starting with the fact that the model of providing both a public and a private insurance system in the US will not save a single buck.
Like you, the blind programmers I know generally prefer Windows. As one anecdote, Tyler Spivey was so dissatisfied with the way VoiceOver worked with the terminal that he wrote his own terminal screen reader [1] for the times he had to work in that environment.

Sure, I simplified a lot. The current western world order is still much more fair to the common folk than feudalism.

The education aspect was not as much about how much more educated the aristocracy was rather that the unwashed masses rose to their level, and it was not anymore sufficient to say that god has decreed duke X a distinguished gentleman and commoner Y a filthy peasant.

It is not easy to rise social ladders, but it's way easier with our figment of a fair society, rather than if we believed social status was a fixed quantity given by the creator of the universe.

The pithy armchair psychologist in me would claim modern society is much more facilitating towards a growth mindset than a feodal one.
If a "debate" is a kind of AI/neural network activity this makes sense. The smaller groups could correspond to layers, and one would expect that the level of interchange would be higher in groups of small groups compared to single large group. In this model, a debate is "thinking" where the participants act as neurons. A recent thread on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18700328) linked to a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjD1aLm4Thg about ion channels providing similar functionality to neurons, so maybe we humans can create "brains" as well.
I have to question some of this. Hot-loading is not why people use React, it's not even particularly reliable with React, and I often develop without it.

The primary reason to use React is that it's an easy API for working within the stateful component paradigm, and goes the extra mile in protecting you from state-related bugs. It still has value even if you drop the stateful part, it's not unheard of to build completely static or server-rendered websites with React without any client-side JavaScript.

There are performance penalties when it comes to the initial page load, you tend to win it back when it comes to subsequent user activities. Whether it's worth the trade-off is dependent on your use case. There are also downsides to progressive enhancement, an obvious one is that if your enhanced JS version changes appearance/layout in a noticeable way, you could end up making the website feel slower even though it's technically usable sooner. In addition, what happens to any existing interactions with the non-enhanced UI after the enhanced version suddenly appears?

The fact is, you just have to decide what's important. I do agree that not enough developers are giving real-world accessibility and performance enough consideration. But I'm less convinced that there's a way to approach these needs that is superior in all circumstances.
In the same experiment (but still unpublished) they actually find evidence that a similar CONSENSUS effect is observed in polarized issues with no clear "best" choice.

https://www.ted.com/talks/mariano_sigman_and_dan_ariely_how_...

The most interesting bit to me is the fact that a rare middle position stakeholder, a "high confident gray", allows groups to reach consensus more often. This potentially has huge applications in system design of the processes of democracy imho
While I can't speak to the popularity of Reddit, I am certain this theory is not correct.

People are legitimately pissed about the constant exposure of their personal data. Exposure not just by Facebook, but by many collectors be it Amazon, Target or Equifax. Exposures that had essentially no consequences for the collectors.

People are pissed and and they let their representatives know. At governmental inquiries all over the world Facebook appears to have bold faced lied about how they operate. Now politicians are pissed.

When the people and their representatives are collectively pissed at something, two things are sure to happen. Firstly, the media will cover it and potentially rile up the various players. Secondly, there will be (at least calls for) fines and special taxes.

IMHO, this collective ire at Facebook has nothing to do with changes to feed algorithms.
>These were services that acted as clients for the private messaging so they could send media directly to your friends via FB messages.

So why wasn't the access write-only? If the only purpose for 3rd party access to messages was to send messages, there is no reason they should have been able to read any messages. Seems like a pretty trivial, obvious function - I certainly have keys for send-only access to email accounts to let web apps send things on my behalf with minimal possible privacy exposure.
Who said we're fine with this? Mostly it's apathy and ignorance, partly it's that if you go up against the authorities you know your card is going to be marked.
If I connect my Facebook account to a music service like Spotify I would NOT expect them the make my private messages available to that service.

It's absolutely nothing like your Thunderbird analogy because Thunderbird exists to present you email but Spotify has absolutely nothing to do with messaging.

Facebook should have given Spotify the bare minimum they needed to make me an account and play me music. Anything else is gross incompetence at best.
The Facebook newsroom posts on this matter go into much more detail than the Times reporting. That said, I don't expect Facebook to tell me the inconvenient truth. But I am paying the New York Times so that they improve my understanding of the situation, not make me feel like I can learn more from Facebook PR.
There is nothing single about adding a payer to a set of a dozen that already exist.

Nope. Can you explain your thinking, please?
I don't like Facebook however I think people are blaming the wrong things.

Facebook should just come out and say it already. They sell and process data like everyone else (what do people think credit card companies and Amazon do? ) . It isn't against the law and if people want it changed, change the laws.

This is mostly on lawmakers for not dealing with the issues for so many years.

> I am not sure where you live, but in many places you can't host your own servers from your room because of ISP restrictions.

We have those restrictions in the UK but I've never once known any ISP act upon them. But in any case, I did also list other options that wasn't reliant on your ISP as well.

> Also, there are not a lot of places where you can find data centers that rent servers out for personal uses.

Sure there are. Hosting providers don't care if you're a business or private individual - they just want your cash. There's even serval places in Europe where you can send them a Raspberry Pi and they'd host that for you (obviously for a monthly fee). There really isn't a shortage of places to host bare metal nor VMs.
