>> The tension is that although it is indeed their platform, the function it plays in society is similar to a public broadcast channel. IMO, a good analogy is the broadcast radio spectrum.

> This analogy clearly doesn't hold up. It's more like a very successful private broadcast channel, but where making an effective public broadcast channel is too difficult for the government, so we pretend that the private channel is "like a public channel".

I think the analogy does hold up. Society limits private property rights all the time for the public good, and that's a good thing.

For instance my private property has drainage and utility easements that allow others to use to for the public good. I don't even own all the property in the area. Theoretically I could go all "muh private property" and demand the government spend a bunch of money to divert water around my land and remove the easement, but that would be silly and wasteful.

Right not we're in a situation where a too few companies control too much of the internet mass media landscape. If that's not remedied with something like antitrust breakups, some kind of "social media access easement" legal framework may be worth looking at.

Absolutely, they have the right to do anything they want on their platform and even take sides when it comes to political factions while restraining speech of other political groups. They even have the right to lie about their policies.

Nobody is forced to use or read hyper global social media such as twitter.

Just like people are free to protest, complain and take action against Twitter by any legal means.
It's amazing to me how many people on Hacker News, a technical forum full of the most technically capable people in the world, seem to forget that the Internet is still a thing, domain name registrars (and failing that, IP addresses) still exist, and anyone can put almost anything they want on the Internet regardless of their political views.

So many people here seem resigned to this idea that Twitter and Facebook are the only ways to communicate online. I would have thought the most technically capable people in the world would remember that HTML can be served from basically any Internet-accessible computer in the world.

The challenge for your marketing is to educate people and to update their beliefs.

It would be nice if you ran public benchmarcks of two equivalent app one in Ionic, one in RN (and eventually more (flutter, etc))
If you are empirically the fastest (maybe we will need to wait a few chromium milestones or to manually enable Vulkan)
You could market those numbers by showing you are the first to have Vulkan rendering, HTTP3, CSS contains, dom fragments, etc (I believe Microsoft is working on moving chromium input handling out of the main thread)

And if you showed things you can't do/easily do in react native.
For example backdrop-filter has recently been added to chromium and is the future of UX.
https://ferdychristant.com/please-help-make-backdrop-filter-...
But really there's so many features that you offer and others don't!
OpenXR, SVG support, css width auto, css grid, etc
If you want an exhaustive list:
https://www.chromestatus.com/features

Really if react native was on
https://caniuse.com/ people would see the truth (the feature gap).

Your marketing also could just make visualizations about the gap in size between the ionic ecosystem (more plugins than RN + all npm packages) vs RN npm packages, that would show the order of magnitude of order of magnitude difference and so how many billions of dollars of man/hours developpers miss by choosing RN.

The first amendment says "Congress shall make no law," not "Twitter shall make no policy."

You have the right to say, and publish, what you want. You don't have the right to compel anybody to listen to, agree with, or publish what you say.
The personal accountability argument is perfectly reasonable for most people, yet there are also vulnerable populations to consider. While we can usually assume that children are under the care of a responsible adult, there are cases where they are not. For other populations, that assumption cannot be made. Those with intellectual disabilities, psychological problems, and substance abuse problems are frequently left to their own devices as long as they are to some extent functional in society.

That is before considering marginalized people. While they may be able to walk away from videos that marginalizes them, they are not always free to walk away from people who marginalize them. (These are people who may, or may not, be reinforcing their prejudices from those videos.) They may be enticed to view a video that appears to align with people like them, only to discover that it is attacking people like them. Then there are the sheer numbers. A message repeated often enough, even if it is only through thumbnails and titles, will have an impact upon a person's well being.

It is also important to realize that this environment is the product of decisions made decades ago, when we decided that anyone can post anything with few consequences. Whether you view that as good or bad depends upon several factors, such as where you fall on the spectrum of free speech. Yet there was one clear consequence: anyone did post anything and making content discoverable became a problem. Given the bulk of data, it became effectively impossible for humans to categorize or recommend content, so algorithms entered the picture. Since the algorithms cannot do it properly, we should not be surprised by people blaming the algorithms or the creators of those algorithms.

Is there a way to fix the problem? Short of scrapping YouTube, I doubt that there is a human solution. There is too much content and you cannot rely upon creators to do so accurately (too many motives, lack of understanding, or laziness to deal with). So the only real solution is to tackle the algorithms or face the consequences of the existing ones.

EDIT: clarification on "creators".
Thank you for the link.

I understand the general rule against violence, but I feel like, when dealing with elected officials, you have to specify a difference between legitimate military action and calls to civilian violence. I don’t think anyone would object that Twitter hosts an announcement from the Staatsminister of Netherlands that she has decided to join the coalition of the willing and to send troops to Afghanistan, but that’s a clear call to violence and people will die because of that decision.

I think it was "avoiding wildlife" rather than swerving.

in that region there are herds of caribou, buffalo and sometimes quite contrary pods of moose. The traffic delay can be extreme as you have to wait for them to move on, as it is a major offense to interfere with wildlife migration, even tangentially. a lot of people get lost or stranded on a fire/logging road trying to skirt around the crossing.

Ive encountered such people many times and helped them out to the road. I do have to wonder if there was a hue of skin that was stimulating to those border agents, no mention of anything like that, so im left to wonder about it. Most border agents in those areas are quite cordial and deal with hikers and hunters all the time, usually its just a matter of showing passport, explaining what your doing and where you crossed, then turn around and dont make the same mistake for a long while.
Scott Adams' use of the word does not seem inappropriate or juvenile to me.

He is describing his impression of Mensa members. His expectation was that Mensa was an "organization of geniuses," which gave him certain expectations, but he what he found was very different.

He observed that Mensa members were financially unsuccessful, unaccomplished, and idle. Describing someone that is financially unsuccessful, unaccomplished, and idle as a "loser" just seems like colloquial English to me.

Adams doesn't express any dislike or hate for the Mensa members; he just describes his impressions. Is there something wrong with using the word "loser?" If we stop using the word will everyone suddenly be richer and more accomplished?

World Leaders on Twitter: Principles and Approach
That article seems to be more balanced shall we say, in terms of what was normal for which team. Toyota's engineering seems to be closer to production while BMW's seems to be closer to design.

* I almost started to think if they had an infinite budget funding to the task of design. *

And it seemed like the opinion from Toyota was that Toyota has a body style in mind at first but BMW lets the body style be influenced its contents.

BMW's fundamental difference in approach was that they wanted to design a package, and from there they would naturally evolve a shape and size of the body from that packaging, a functionally oriented goal. ... Our company (Toyota) with my tenure and experience, the focus was always design elements being the priority. We would first spend a lot of time on the shape and appeal of the car from visual perspective ...

But let the article speak for itself. I kept my quotes short.

It's shit like this that makes California look so ridiculous to the rest of the nation.
All this commotion around what time to begin soul-crushing conformity factory amuses me grimly. Studies show children are slightly less psychologically crippled for life if you let them sleep in for an hour before putting them in the electric Skinner Box. Terrific.
I do worry about it. I have gone through that process multiple times, and each one was absolutely heartbreaking. I was completely and totally bereft, for an extended period of time.

But looking back, I must confess that most of my grief was for myself, not the animal that passed away. In the death of any sentient being, I think the grief is mostly for those left behind, not the ones who are gone.

So, I’m not too much worried about my own death, just trying to do the best I can to make sure that the ones I love will be well-cared for after I’m gone.
Would have been better if they had included a qualitative response to understand why they chose 'yes' or 'no'. I want to believe most people are just not well-informed on the whole issue.
Sure if you're going to argue efficiency of gallons to calories, but it misses the point. Agricultural water use in California is extremely wasteful because of decades old water sharing and pricing agreements. Talking about curbing those inefficient and wasteful uses is more important because farmers need to pay fair and reasonable prices for water first. Once that happens they'll decide on their own the most effective use of the water they have.

As a non-American I find this interesting, that school start times would be decided based on availability of buses.

Here in Australia, most schools don't own their own buses (I see a few expensive private schools do). Buses are provided by private bus companies and/or by a government-owned bus company (depending on who provides regular non-school bus services in the area). The bus fare is either paid by the student's parents, or else by the government, depending on factors like how long it would take the student to walk, how old the student is, whether they have a disability, etc. The government subsidises buses for all school students equally, irrespective of whether they attend private schools or government-run schools. I don't know how exactly schools decide their start times, but I doubt bus availability would have much to do with it. Bus availability is something for bus companies to worry about, not schools.

I think we'd be able to find a previous civilization of our current technological advancement by finding a lot of veins of mineral resources mined out, except for the trailings around the edges. I've never heard even a whisper of such a mineral formation being found, and with the amount of money such mineral industrial research accounts for, I suspect by now we would have found such a thing if it exists, especially if it existed in quantity.

There may be no structures or artifacts that survived 65 millions years, but there's plenty of holes that would have, in natural structures that to all appearances are older than 65 million years, should have been about as available then as they are now, and are obviously undisturbed.
UV rays have 10^15 ~10^16 Hz, that is 1000000GHz ~ 10000000GHz. At low power, everything below that frequency is safe.

(If you put a cat in a microwave, with a power of ~800W it will get hot and burned and perhaps die. The WiFi or similar connections have typically 2W or less. It's less than the energy in a led lamp, with a lower frequency.)

Thanks so much! I haven't formally studied these so the terminology still gets me sometimes.

When you say "choose construction as well as improvement", I'm curious what you mean. It may not be clear, but if you run shortest path, the resulting best path is fed into whatever algorithm you run next. Is that what you mean?
If you think someone else should, I’m sure that Twitter would be happy to delegate that role to anyone more legitimate… Anyone, really. They probably would also love to pay that person. Facebook is trying to set that up, for instance — with very generous conditions: dotation covering a full-time staff, etc.

Dealing with that is a nightmare for specialists and no software developer would want to be embroiled in that.

I'm also pretty sure at the higher grade levels (Middle to high school) it is partially about keeping other professions out of sports coaching. If high school starts at 930a and ends at 4p, an awful lot of working professionals could still be there by 415-430p to coach. When high school let out at 245, it's a lot harder.

The trick here isn’t “accurate” simulation, it’s that they used a bunch of different simulations with randomly perturbed physics and the RL learned policies that worked across these wide range of “realities”.
This is a reasonable way of looking at time for certain purposes, and the conversion factor is c. So, 65 million years "ago" is also 65 million light-years "away" in the -t direction.

limiting screen time isn't a technical issue, it's an economic issue - kids and parents have different levels of effort they're willing to expend to deal with these limits. Ultimately the kid needs to incentivized to conform to the limit set by the parent.
It sounds like that's exactly the concern that motivated Twitter to have this policy. Some politicians are using Twitter in ways that would get normal users banned. But there's a public interest in letting them say what they're going to say. So Twitter lets them stay on the platform, and this policy is about minimizing the fallout damage from that.
