The lack of transparency here has been awful as a consumer. Not only did the first wave of cards sell out between refreshes, but Nvidia failed to inform us that they would continually restock the site throughout the day.

I managed to snag myself a FE card, but dozens of friends and coworkers were not so lucky. There are relatively simple solutions like a preorder queue or allowing backstock orders that are fulfilled sequentially, but it doesn’t seem like Nvidia is concerned at all with the customer experience; they know they aren’t losing customers as long as they continue to provide best in class performance.

Section 230 allows Facebook to do moderation without exposing it to liability for everything on the platform. Look at the original motivation: Stratton Oakmont v. Prodigy, where Prodigy's anti-porn moderation meant that Stratton was able to sue them for defamation.

Revoking it would mean Facebook would do less moderating. I do not think this will have the effect on disinformation that you want.

One thing to note here: Stratton Oakmont was suing Prodigy because someone posted a comment saying that they were criminals. The subject of the comment, Danny Porush, went to federal prison for securities fraud. All this is to say: the original comment was likely true and the lawsuit was disinformation.

We're in the era of disruptive innovation, where whole industries get gutted and replaced by the next big thing. For example, the iPhone disrupted a long tail of physical gadgets, from voice recorders to rulers, calendars and Rolodexes. Amazon disrupted retail and on-premise enterprise computing. Tesla is disrupting the automakers, energy companies, ride-sharing networks, etc., all while transitioning us to carbon-free energy. Square + Bitcoin is disrupting the banks, payday lenders, small business accounting, etc.

The returns I've gotten investing in disruptive innovation, just since March, have yielded many times the returns of the S&P 500.

There isn't any more "depth" to recommendations anymore. Right now it's the same recommendations over and over again. Lots of celebrity, corporate media, etc.

When youtube wanted to grow, their recommendation was so good. You could go down that rabbit hole forever really and actually discover content/creators. Now that they have a monopoly position, it's about limiting options and guiding you to established content.

They have to answer for the damages from the fire they caused, not to the "average" or even "foreseeable" damages from such a fire.

I am not someone who does not care. Please accept my deepest apologies for my repeated failures to communicate clearly. Please do not hesitate to ask for further clarification if it would be in any way helpful for you.

I fear you have mistaken me for someone who does not care about the health of the ecosystem. Merely because I am someone who advises on what's best for my employer's safety and risk management need not always mean this.

I am, for example, perfectly happy to make use of open source tooling. In many ways, I prefer it. I do not use price tag as a proxy for value. I also do not use cool new technology or vendor immaturity as a proxy for value. Your idea about making it easy for small vendors to understand what they need to do to attain compliance-equivalence is a wonderful one that should be broadly enacted immediately.

Again, please do not hesitate to ask if there is anything else I can clarify for you!

On this topic, if it's a domain that seems highly desirable (single word, good TLD extension), I typically register it for the max period (10 years), just in case the registrar's system has a glitch and doesn't auto renew when it should.
You're absolutely right! The UX could be so much better where every repl is live and you can request to edit. Working on that.
It sounds like your almost describing the Nym mixnet

The tradeoff is you necessarily need to smooth traffic bursts out to meet the fixed rate and that introduces high latency. Unfortunately most user traffic is bursty and not continuous.
'immunity' means triggering any immune system response

The exact definition you cite does not support this. It begins by very clearly saying it is a state of being protected:

Immunity: the condition of being immune; the protection against infectious disease
that's correct, at least for us a domain encapsulates many response types and dozens of different APIs that wrap various datastores, business logic, etc.
Even taking this seriously: Sweden has seen 570 deaths per million so far. If that toll represents the transition to effective herd immunity, then we'd expect another 3-4 million people to die worldwide before this burns itself out. And... you think that's a good thing? Sweden's response has been a disaster any way you cut it.
I have a habit of collecting interesting yet vaguely generic domain names and holding onto them for future projects. (Which I almost never get around to.)

A 301-serving service is an interesting concept for a small service, though. I would probably assemble it from Kore (https://kore.io/) and sqlite, or maybe postgres; the hosting requirements would be pretty low. Maybe I'll do it this afternoon for fun.

Then it would just sit there, despite the fact that it could probably be sold for $15k/mo, because that's not a skill I have. If someone signs up for $15k/mo, it's worth a couple extra afternoons to make it more robust for them.

I'm pretty sure you could have done the same, but selling this stuff is a pretty difficult task!

e: another thing you could do is resell domains through it; you wouldn't be competing with registrar builtins then.
Indeed, it is a requirement for Google Shopping:

This is cool, I like the practicality and flexibility of being able to work with the data in Google Sheets without having to do any manual syncing.
Here's a question for the IP legal crowd

If Autodesk is hiding a design I make using Fusion 360 behind a gate on their cloud, does that require I grant them a license to the IP represented by that design? Who owns the IP, if I create it, but they prevent me from accessing it?

Similar question for a lot of tools that create IP and hide it behind a gate on the cloud. It seems legally shaky.

I have the Bedtime alarm set for 7:30 AM. It went off at 3:00 AM the next morning.

I’m pretty deaf, so awoke to my wife kicking and yelling at me. It took awhile to fumble it off.

Why? And why 4 1/2 hours difference?

In the morning, I screwed around with it for a bit and got it reset to 7:30.

Or so I thought. It went off again at 3:00 PM.

More screwing around. I suspect it’s somehow related to the fact I have the phone set for 24 hour time. Seems to be ok now, but I still have to update to 14.

Ask HN: Hitting a brick wall with MAPS 715-123160
Long story short - we signed up for MAPS, got verified, paid the bill. 2 days later we can't access any of the benefits. Infamous error 715-123160 that nobody has any clue about. There are many threads online where people were ripped off in a similar fashion, with more questions than answers.

There's no way to contact MS Partner billing to request a refund. Regular frontline support gives us a copypaste response saying they can't tell us why. If they do call, it's a voip call masked as Seattle when someone who doesn't speak any English calls from their kitchen and reads us the content of the email (we can't help you and we won't tell you why).

We haven't used any of the benefits, only log into Partner dashboard from the verified location, have MFA enabled, etc. Feels like some kind of shadowban.

We're a regular US company of 25 years. Pay thousands to MS every month in subscriptions. Never had any issues with them. Can someone shine any light at what's going on here?

I don't think it's bad actually. I mean the recommendations could be far better, but this specific case isn't bad.

Say you go on reddit/r/iloveredcars - all you will see upvoted (ie ... RECOMMENDED by users) will be red cars. You'll never see blue cars. You'll never know they even exist. All you've ever seen are red cars. Not only this but you'll notice that over time it's always the same red car pictures being reposted over and over again.

By inserting "wrong" results a small percentage of the time this ensures that users will be exposed a tiny bit to different content, that may be they end up liking, opening an entiere new tree of recommendation opportunities.

Now I'm sure some people don't want this and they do want to see the same red car pictures over and over, but personally, I appreciate that they do this.

The Quest was $400 and didn’t require a Facebook account. It looks like they cut some corners on materials to get the price down to $300.

More importantly, I’d like to see Facebook FORCED to provide a monthly dollar value that they think my data is worth.
The ship epidemics give an indication of whether this is the case. The USS Teddy Roosevelt had an epidemic and everyone onboard was tested. 20% tested positive for the virus. 60% showed antibodies.

Arctic cruise ship after 21 days: "Of the 217 passengers and crew who remained on the ship for the entirety of the voyage, 128 tested positive for the coronavirus, the researchers said. They added that of those who tested positive, 24 exhibited symptoms and 104, or 81%, did not."[2]

There are many other ship epidemics, but those are ones that had 100% testing.
That puts a ceiling on pre-existing immunity at somewhere around 40%. No floor from that data.

This is just part of a long line of scummy practices by GoDaddy in its history. Bad PR for GoDaddy constantly popped up in tech news sites ~15 years ago, but it was never enough to stop their aggressive marketing. Still, I always wondered why anyone in tech would use them. Y'all know what they're capable of and what they do. Don't support that.
Even at 100% conversion, we wouldn't have made enough money to make the service actually WORTH pursuing long term, but that wasn't the goal.

NavHere's losses were a budgetary rounding error across my larger organization, and it did provide us customers that actually USED the system.

It was never meant to be a profit center or a loss leader, but I had hoped from the start it would cover the cost to run it.

It lost a total of around $1200/year, and that money would have just gone toward some other random business expense anyway that wouldn't have captured customers.

All in all I'd say it was a worthy loss, just not one I want to continue maintaining.
When I was a kid, I dreamed up a whole underground house- a deep cylinder with rooms radiating out from that (kind of like Wool). My dad said "the big problems are getting natural light in, and keeping water out."

Over time I've come to realize just how significant that is. The light I feel can be overcome- modern lighting can simulate the sun- but the constant water intrusion will just drive you crazy.

IIRC, it was actually possible to collect every Pokémon across all the games released on 3DS. A service facilitated transferring them between games. Several of the rare Pokémon were related to limited time events, but the opportunity was there. I’m sure it’ll be possible to get pretty close to a complete collection by the end of the Switch lifespan as well.
Probably wasn't a decision. And if it was, I'm sure it's much more complicated than OP is letting on.

Freedom is an illusion, and having a 100% tax doesn't technically restrict freedom. Any policy that arose would itself need to be measured against the tolerance of the people, but if that 100% tax came with guarantees of the things that actually restrict our freedom, there might be a lot of people who would tolerate it.
As an aside, here's me totally getting hung up on the chosen analogy - I find it somewhat interesting how fervently some people dislike private toll roads.

"Road I have to drive on and pay for" also describes public roads, it's just not as obvious when you're doing the paying. For the most part, I just have to suck it up and drive the places I need to go, and unlike the private road, I have to pay for public roads even if I don't use them at all.

Besides that, "expensive and well-maintained good/service that everyone is forced to use" basically describes the ideal in government provisioned anything, does it not? I mean, cheap and well-maintained would be better, but I'm not sure that exists anywhere...
"It is increasingly clear that we need a supranational organization in Europe which IS a democratic government."

I don't think that's clear at all.

One could very much make the argument that it doesn't need 'governance' it needs 'coordination' which are very different things.

I feel the vast majority of the most important things could be achieved mostly by treaty and that everyone could 'have their cake and eat it' which is to say have fully sovereign states and work together.

I think there's quite a lot of a) ideology in the US of Europe b) it's the natural 'power creep' of any institution and c) the business class love to be able to 'skip democracy' and so do the 'socialist' types - both of whom kind of work in a weird kind of tolerance of one another, with I think the business class mostly in charge.

In particular, the hugely vague mandates on 'Human Rights' are the biggest coup, though the least obvious. They basically give a 'carte blanche' to the EU courts to rule as they see fit, interpreting some basic, bland text to mean whatever they want it to mean.

Since the EU courts often decide on their own jurisdiction ... it results in a huge concentration of legal power.

It's a Judicial takeover.

Something similar happened in Canada - not exactly on purpose - but when Trudeau Sr. introduced a new Constitution into Canada in the early 1980's - it was a 'nice modern document' but obviously vague. Since then, the Supreme Court of Canada has struck down innumerable old laws, new laws, they do it all the time, they even 'change their minds' on things like terminal care and suicide. Because of the vague wording, 'the world's top legal scholars and lawyers' have no clue what legislation is legal or not, it's just a matter of what our 'Tribal Council of Unelected Elders' decide to do. It's resulted in 'Law by Judicial Fiat' for a wide array of issues - all of the most important ones (identity, rights, marriage, abortion). Canadians, elected officials, politicians, the Prime Minister have little say in the matter ... except for this weird clause someone can effect which basically says a 'law is not bound by the constitution' - which is crazy in of itself.

The 'Human Rights' mandates of the EU are controversial for this reason: obviously, they are humane and positive i.e. a 'good thing' - but many people oppose them on the legal problems the effectively create. These people are easily lambasted in the press as 'anti human rights' which is of course completely wrong.

Europeans are quite smart, the lack of understanding of these things is really quite bothersome. People just seem to be happy to do whatever the elite tell them to do.
