>There are new niche things that take their place, but people are often at a point in their lives where they aren't seeking out the new niche stuff anymore.

Speaking just for myself, here, but this has not been my experience. In my opinion, that interest in the early internet was a niche was essentially orthogonal to what it offered. It just so happened that the mindset of folks who would be attracted to the early offerings was a small portion of the overall population. But it wasn't the fact that the group was comparatively small that was what was interesting.
Just roll your window down first!
d'oh. you are correct, sir.
I am curious what 'used' means. e.g. Does logging into a third party service via facebook login count as 'used' since you technically hit their servers?
Yes, the kids in the cave were anesthetized. Diazepam is NOT an anesthetic: it is an anxiolytic/hypnotic/sedative. 5mg of diazepam will calm some, put others to sleep, and not noticeably affect others. Variation in response is huge. With ketamine, a given mg/kg dose is far more predictable.
The article compares raw vs base64+gzip, but I'd be interested to see gzip vs base64+gzip
even with infinite bandwidth, you cannot reduce all qualia to bits. especially feelings.
> some outrageously stupid idea

Citation needed. It was a great idea, and vastly superior to the method they actually used to get the kids out. Of course it turned out not to fit, but that just means the cave diver who was in communication with Musk gave him incorrect data in the first place.

The divers themselves said it was a great risk bringing them out and the only reason they eventually took the risk they did was because the rain continued and it was feared that the water level would rise.

You can be the best diver in the world, but have no idea how to handle panicked kids who have no dive training. Sticking them in a tube and dragging them out would have been far safer than the method that luckily worked. You and the douchebag diver who attacked Musk for offering help would both be singing a different tune right now had a couple of the kids drowned on the way out.
Yes, that is why you need regulation to drive change.
This is an interesting idea. Making open-source more sustainable definitely requires an aggregation of resources. I think something like what you’re describing would help make it easier for maintainers to collect donations, and for more people to give them, so it would be worth exploring.
Good time to post one of Paul Graham's essays: http://www.paulgraham.com/mean.html

Most startups have the problem of accelerating into the ground. Facebook has the problem of accelerating into the ceiling. What do you do when you capture the social networking market, and investors still expect the same growth rates as before?

Maybe founders should worry about the "What if I win?" question in addition to the oft-thought "What if I lose?" question. Taking over the world shouldn't be the only exit condition; plenty of companies should aim to be happy at some level below that.
A willingness to search for physical explanations should not be mistaken for claiming that there is one simply because there must be one, which would be as fallacious as claiming that there isn't one simply because there can not be one. This is a distinct fallacy from the one of claiming that there isn't one because I can't imagine that there could be one, or that it can't be done because it hasn't been done so far.

As for having an opinion, on the other hand, that usually depends on which remarkable circumstance one thinks is less implausible.
To add context, is a type of captatio benevolentia (“obtaining benevolence/captivating”) and as such is typically placed at the start of a discussion.

Someone uses cleuasms (I’m gonna create a word by inferring a translation) many times in a discussion. Pay attention: this unsolicited and reiterated form of humbleness can be too much. If you shouldn’t have right for a statement, apply suspension instead ;)
Apple has and advantage in that you cannot set default messaging app on iOS. For me at least, that is the only thing that keeps me on Messages/Maps/Mail.
Why wouldn't it send SNI for the real domain? Also, what's preventing me from claiming some domain I don't actually own, if you are allowed to wedge in any invalid tld and nothing is checked?
Fundamental Theorem of Group Homomorphisms:

If f is a homomorphism from a group G_1 onto the group G_2, then G_1/ker(f) is isomorphic to G_2

>Regressions happen, and the Eternal September is real.

Is that a regression, though? I mean the state pre-ES was basically that the unwashed masses weren't able to use a special service for their more-refined betters.

To me, it's essentially the difference between a country club and a public park. Certainly, the country club is better maintained and more pleasant for its members than a public park. But there's, at minimum, a strong case to be made that a park that all may use is a greater social good than a country club limited to a few.
During that same period, we were building up the concept of UX and one of the things drilled into people's heads was that 9 times out of 10 (at least), what you are doing is not so unique that you deserve to use a new UI metaphor to present it.

When in doubt, use the same mechanisms to accomplish things that everybody else uses.

That sort of peer pressure is intended to reduce the variability between web sites. I think for better or worse we are seeing the dividends of that effort.
If you can wade through the slime, 4chan has some pockets of weird/fun original stuff.
That was my first thought, although I wasn't sure that would explain the vast numbers of Americans who mow their own lawns. Although maybe it does, if you squint a little harder? If labor prices were higher, maybe more people would choose to do more paid work instead of mowing their own lawn?

I'm not sure though --- I think it might be that Americans tend to have a different relation to their lawns than Europeans. I was surprised to read that mowing your lawn on Sunday is illegal in Norway, with a silent robotic mower being a legal workaround: https://www.newsinenglish.no/2015/07/27/conflicts-arise-over...
For a fantastic and deep bird eye view my go-to ref is the Princeton companion to mathematics.
And to be fair, even Baldwin's terrible.

She's in no way a unifier, and has absolutely no support outside of her base. Which wouldn't be so bad, but she doesn't even try to reach out to anyone outside her base.

I mean, ok, maybe you don't want to try to bring conservative rural people on board because you think they're never gonna support you. I get that, I don't agree with it, but I get it. Baldwin goes further though. You won't even see Baldwin interact with, say, young urban minority adults in Milwaukee, Kenosha, or Racine. You'd think that would be a natural democrat demographic, the woman never even talks to them. Sheez, even Paul Ryan would at least talk to everybody.

This state is in dire need of decent leadership. Someone who doesn't hold entire segments of our population in contempt. Baldwin, Johnson, Ryan, Walker...

those guys just don't fit the bill.

AT ALL.
It does not, but it changes the set of people looking to buy them and the way in which they’re used, both of which impact the general market for vulnerability sales — and additionally, re-aligns some present attackers to defenders.

Security researchers, strangely enough, seem to care who they sell to. If the NSA stopped buying and only the UAE was interested, I expect we’d see some firms move to other business models or targets for “research”.
When I looked at facebook it was virtually all memes. I'm sure someone is about to tell me that I need better friends but these people are fine to talk to and interact with on other platforms but it seems facebook has become a meme graveyard.

No one posts actual quality content because stuff I want to read doesn't have a general appeal, its specialized to the things I am interested in. Facebook only allows for general appeal stuff so you end up with memes that everyone can understand.

Electrify America has an order of magnitude more money to spend on charging than Tesla used to build their supercharger network.
That said, they seem to be using it to buy charging networks but so far the experience isn't improving. Conventional EV roadtrip charging is years behind Tesla.

I'm not sure "premium branding" for the competition matters vs Tesla, as I don't think the latter has a downmarket reputation. Interior/existing brand relationships I can see helping the conventional players. Range doesn't seem to be there even on the models supposedly coming out this year. It seems like we keep hearing the Tesla killer is coming Real Soon Like Now.

Still, I ultimately agree they need to sustain through the onslaught, it just seems like it's taking longer than expected.
The Control Theory (129) section does a real disservice to the field by insinuating it is little more than the study of Kalman filters. While an important model, the core results of control theory are without a doubt stability criterions.

The Lyapunov stability criterion is even quite elegant, despite being powerful: A system is asymptotically stable if there exists a function V where for x/=0, V(x)>0 and [Sum]_i (dV/dx_i) (dx_i/dt) < 0.
I don’t think that’s quite the case. The theorem is a mathematical given formalizations of computability (algorithms). Those formalizations were devised to reflect what seems to be the physical limits of computers in the real world, of course. If we discovered more powerful methods of computation in the real world, we would presumably update our mathematical formalizations, but the math behind the current formalizations is correct (in the same way that the math used in Newtonian physics is correct even though we now know that non-Newtonian physics are needed to analyze certain phenomena.
Thank you for sharing! One thing I noticed is the statement in 20. Logic:

An axiom system is neither complete nor provably consistent.

I think this would benefit from some rephrasing, because such a system could for example be both complete and provably consistent (in the sense given in the paper) if it were, in fact, inconsistent.

Also, IUT is not "Inner-Universal Teichmuller", but rather inter-universal Teichmüller theory.

It might be less of a small bounce than the nose wheel not being on the ground and/or not having enough weight on it. I know Airbus and Boeing handle this differently, but I don't remember the details (I want to say Airbus allows reverse thrust once the mains are firmly on the ground but the nose isn't, but I need to check my manuals).

I really do find the inability to restart extremely interesting though. I'd bet it's a bug somewhere, but it would be alarming if Boeing programmed in a lock-out on the failed engine(s) (I've heard it talked about as a solution to the sudden deployment of reverse thrust in flight) .
I'm just going to throw in my recommendation of virtually -anything- by Moby:

Damn - this player is awesome; I was never someone who could make tracker music, but I loved to listen to it back in the day on my Amigas (both of which I still own). Getting new MODs from Fred Fish and other ways was always a treat.

Ah...and Octamed...this has brought a touch of nostalgia, etc - for me. Those times are long past, but a bit of them can still be enjoyed with this software.

So - thank you, exogeny.
It's not a theorem, but that's because it's not proven, or can't be proven really. Unless you're referring to the fact that those three definitions coincide, that is a theorem.

The statement F=ma is either a definition, axiom or theorem depending on what context you're working in. There are more fundamental (empirically tested) axioms that have F=ma as a consequence. Unless you introduce special relativity, then it becomes false.
I am not so sure. Its really not just about their cars being electric. Its the whole technological package that's miles and miles ahead of the competition. I just bought a new Honda with Lane Keep Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control and a whole host of other features. Compared to my boss's tesla the "self-driving" features of the Honda are nothing. My honda doesnt even really have a way to get OTA updates to any software even though this car is a 2019 model with a persistent GSM internet connection.
True, kind of — it depends on the definition of “market power.” There is a dominant market share test used by the courts, generally a market share over 50% is required while some courts require a much higher percentage.

Here is the better explanation from the FTC:

> Further, Apple has a 100% monopoly control of the iOS App Store.

That irrelevant. Best Buy also has a 100% monopoly control of Best Buy stores. That doesn’t mean that Best Buy has a monopoly on consumer electronics stores, nor does Apple have a monopoly for computer app stores.

True, Apple does have a monopoly when it comes to the iOS App Store.. but no more of a monopoly than Baskin Robbins has for ice cream sold by Baskin Robbins. That doesn’t mean you can’t by non-Baskin Robbins ice cream somewhere else, nor does it require Baskin Robbins to sell Hagen-Daz. If you want to be a sell your stuff at a store, you have to follow the rules of that store and pay the commission. Just like there are other places to buy computer software for a mobile device, there are other places to buy ice cream.
Not only has it not been an issue...Tesla's share of plug-in sales has been increasing dramatically year over year.

Cadillac ELR, BMW i3, Chevy Volt, Chevy Bolt were all billed and hyped as "Tesla Killers" upon launch.

To date, no other manufacture has announced any plans to procure enough battery supply to produce cars in comparable volume to Tesla.
What Clickhouse engines does CF uses?
I am unfamiliar with how Go HTTP frameworks do things but in Elixir each request is a new process... and running in BEAM which was designed for massive concurrency from the beginning. Go is frequently compared to BEAM solutions so I'm curious if each request in a Go web framework spawns a separate process per request.
I've stopped using Google and moved to DDG not because of privacy, but because the results on Google just seem the same everytime even when I use different wording, making it feel like Google has been becoming a "recommendation engine" rather than a "search engine".
I'd argue that the average person probably understands the actual implications better than the typical HN user.
is there any other way to distribute an app without having to ask for apple's blessings though ?
Since there's no real life downside to FB using your data to show you more relevant ads, people are making the rational trade-off. Privacy issues with FB are ideology based in nature.
Google cloud has "one-click" installation of integrated 3rd-party solutions. Never tried that though.
Sure, their sales pages are in shape.

But the developer stuff in the walled garden not so much.

The App Store Connect login/start page has 2MB JS and the App page has >3MB.

Overall the whole Apple Dev experience is sluggish.
Remember: privacy invasion is always ok when no ones dying. When it gets that far, then anonymous comments online disappear.
People may forget, but everybody was excited to switch from MySpace to Facebook almost exactly for this reason. It just felt cooler and more grown up.
Maybe, but imo there's an infinitely-recursive (up until hardware or wetware limits) nature of introspection to consciousness. I can reflect on reflecting on reflecting on reflecting etc etc, until I stack overflow. But on each level of reflection, I can do something useful wrt adjusting the processes that I am reflecting on.

I don't see why one couldn't write program to do something - a subroutine that called-itself and analyzed some of the contents on up the stack in some vaguely useful way. One can pretty easily write a program that approximating satisfies most vague descriptions of consciousness. It doesn't "feel" like "real consciousness" but that brings up other questions.
The Platform Microsoft Forgot
A few years ago, I never would have thought I'd be sympathising with Reagan and his "I didn't leave..." quote, particularly considering that I lean left on most political decisions. But man has it been a shock to see how quickly the progressive side of the left shifted what was considered left and right here in the US. And I am dismayed by how all political opinions across the board are now considered shibboleths for a purity test rather than subjects worth discussing.

When I was growing up, my father was a diplomat for the US Foreign Service. He was a small-d democrat. His best friend was a small-r republican. They both greatly valued each other's thoughts and opinions, and each allowed the other to sway their positions across convivial dinner-table discussion. I know such approaches are possible because I saw it on a regular basis, and I would like it if we could get back to said approach.
I never said anything about "good old days" give me a choice between 1995 internet and 2019 internet and I'll take 2019 in a heartbeat.

Wikipedia alone would make that choice easy.

Throw in that I can get an answer to some obscure error code in some library to talk to an old piece of hardware in <30s and I'm completely sold.

I was just describing my experience between then and now.

> The thing is that the apparent problem is that non-nerds are now allowed online.

Now you are just projecting, I never said modern internet was worse and I definitely didn't say anything about non-nerds been a problem, the internet is a larger part of my mums life (nearly house bound due to arthritis) than it is mine and that's a good thing.

Did some further investigation:

i included some text files, hex encoding, and other compression as well :)

raw file list: https://hastebin.com/vazonowuvo.txt

tsv (c/p to spreadsheet: https://hastebin.com/ewohafucem.tsv

---

(interesting) using bzip2, compression is better when the following file are encoded first with base64 or hex: bing.png googlelogo.png peppers_color.jpg

Useless takeaways:

- prefer base64 over hex when encoding already compressed images before further compression

- prefer hex over base64 when encoding plain text / low entropy data before further compression
History is the bane for anyone peddling the idea that a socialist society and authoritarianism are two separate things.
Mass shootings are vanishingly rare. Your odds of being in one are microscopic.
No, if it were that tangential, investors wouldn't be reporting it and using it to make buying / selling decisions.
The truth is pretty much no one cares. As long as instagram still works the under 30s are happy, as long as FB still works the 30+ers are happy. As long as WhatsApp still works, most everyone outside of US is happy.

At the same time, I understand the sentiment. But who is going to bother maintaining this functionality which if done wrong exposes you to Bobby'); DROP TABLE STUDENTS

I have a feeling Tesla didn’t capitalize enough on their first mover advantage and now it’s going to be tough as proper competitors move into the market.

Audi is matching the Model X with the E-Tron, but without Tesla build quality:

Volvo Drive-E, Jaguar I-Pace, new Nissan Leaf; similar stories.
Joke’s on them. They’ll be lucky to uncover a handful of uncorroberated shadow profiles and spam catcher email dead ends that flout “real name” policies.

They said they were going to build 8K displays and tons of new jobs. Then they said okay maybe not 8K displays but definitely some awesome displays. Now they're saying they can't even build TVs there. They cite "new realities" in the global marketplace, but this always looked like a scam.

We can blame trump and his ignorant tax policies, but the reality is that Walker scammed the taxpayers. The only question is, was he getting kickbacks? Or was it just to look good to voters?

And then, of course, once his crew gets voted out, they reduce the power of the incoming administration. And then blame this whole mess on the "uncertainty" of the incoming administration. What a joke.
It use to be...
Titanium is mainly just a marketing thing for consumer products. It's not really a broadly useful material in the same way steel is. Expensive, difficult to machine or weld, etc. Advances in steel alloys have reduced the strength/weight advantage to be minimal or nonexistent. It's good for some things though, most notably high temperature applications like gas turbine blades.
People haven't traditionally cared about privacy when it comes time to US elections either, it's definitely not a single-issue voter issue like abortion, gun ownership, welfare, etc.

So I propose a dictatorship of HN commenters ;)
More done, with less bytes is a virtue and a great show of skill among software developers. Outside that infinitesimal small bubble however... users could barely give a damn.

Also I fear that a lot of this is javascript phobia formed by the mindset that the web is supposed to be documents not full blown applications, after all why complain about 2 megs of js when the page has a 10mb banner image and an autoplaying 40mb HD video?
Reddit is structually doomed to be dominated by fluff.

• Discourages long-running discussions by burying (and ultimately locking) older content

• Discourages coversation in favour of fire-and-forget comments by making it impractical to continue where you left off

• Gamification of content (not quite as bad as some sites that grant extra privileges for scores, though)

• Numerically larger groups can bury content they would prefer others not see
Multiple opponents reduces the strategic value of negative campaigning... but if a player begins in a position of strength or the rules of the game favor them or if the cost of negative campaigning is far lower than normal it is still possible they'll end up winning.
It would be really nice if Apple went back to their roots and built INSANELY AWESOME computers. With FULL keyboards instead of gimmicky touch-bar thingies.
Alternatively, people do care about privacy, but they care more about the value that FB provides to them. And part of that value can be due to customer lock-in (customers want social networks where the people they interact with are).
Hrm, Stripe doesn’t use robots to respond. Can you forward those responses to me at edwin@stripe.com and I can take a look?
right. I agree with most of what you said.

Altho all this is the result of human activity resulting from exponential increase in our population. And hence consumption.

It’s not capitalism. It is uncurtailed procreation. Altho’ one might suggest that there is some correlation between capitalism and decrease in crushing poverty(leading to higher survivability) ..which will result in our eventual demise of our species(and others).

The planet..however..will carry on.
