It would be good to also support Wayland compositors without GTK.
That's fair. I read the "Social Cooling" site (as an aside, what would you call sites like this? E-pamphlets seems like a good term to use.) and it immediately made me think of this essay I read years ago:

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/institute-for-precar...

I think this "social cooling" is related to this generalized feeling of "precarity," the feeling that your place in society can be suspended or deleted in an instant. Whether the agent of this deletion is a state actor (China), a corporation acting on behalf of a state or advertiser (YouTube/Facebook/Twitter), or just ordinary people not acting on any agenda but just carrying forward the anxiety they experience internally. I don't find the latter particularly scarier than the first two since it doesn't carry as much of a threat with it. I certainly didn't experience it as such; but just a minor annoyance and general dissatisfaction with Facebook as a product.

I find it ironic that so many took my top-level comment to mean something was wrong with my social universe; as if, instead of the obvious solution of eschewing Facebook, my solution should be to separate from the people in my life and find better people who I could be on Facebook with. The assumption that it's healthy or even possible to "cancel" people out of your life for not passing some arbitrary standard of behavior is ludicrous to me (and, I would think, to any sane person with family ties, work relationships, etc.). Other people are messy, unpredictable and sometimes awful, but we do need them, and they need us. I think they have internalized this experience of precarity and turned it into a weapon they can wield against others, like an abused person becoming an abuser.
> IMO, there's a multibillion dollar company waiting to be founded to provide authenticity verification services for humans online

On the flip side, successful startups that aren't full social but do require some authenticity verification have already been proven: nextdoor and blind, for example

I think the biggest issue is scaling to a facebook-style, reddit-style, or twitter-style "full-world" social network implies colliding people who have no other relationship or interaction but are linked through a topic or shared interest

And, in my opinion, when you hit a certain level of scale, the verification almost becomes pointless: there's enough loud angry and troll people out there that I dont think it matters if they're verified or not. You can't moderate away toxicity in discussions that include literally a million participants.

I think you need both verification and some way to keep all the users' subnetworks small enough that it isn't toxic or chilling. But then you lose that addictive feed of endless content that links people to reddit or Facebook or Instagram. Tough problem
I've been vegan for 30 years so obviously I think it is about time. From an innovation/start-up perspective, this is an exciting time. If things continue moving this quickly, lab-grown meat will be regularly available soon. Whatever your personal feelings about animals, this is a huge win for the environment.
There's also this gem in the FAQs:

> If I decide I don’t want to use Amazon One any more after signing up, can I delete my biometric data?

> Yes, you can request to delete data associated with Amazon One through the device itself or via the online customer portal at one.amazon.com. We believe customers should always be in complete control of when and where they use the service, and we designed Amazon One with this in mind.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but that FAQ feels like it was worded by Orwellian doublespeak experts:

- you can "request" (thank you for granting us permission to make a request of you)

- data associated with Amazon one (all the data or only certain data? Do you keep data that's not associated with an account but maybe still associated with my identity?)

I find it has two advantages. One, being quite a sophisticated auto-complete system. I haven't seen anything nearly as polished. The other advantage is it's easy to learn and configure. You can read the short manual and you'll know about every feature and keyboard shortcut that exists.
Content delivery and DDoS protections should really be solved at the protocol level, not by some company or appliance.
The tip is to approach the online persona of every person as a different person than their offline persona. People act differently online than they do offline. People expect to send and receive as much information and in the same way online as they offline. This is wrong.

Figure out the little facial gestures, the verbal indications and such that allow you to get some of the richness back. Obviously, you won't get to as good as offline, but if everyone puts in the effort, you start to understand the limits of what can be sent and received online to each person.
No, IMO it's because generally speaking the govt has much more power over you than any private entity. You don't have to follow the rules of any particular private entity unless you choose to. You can't choose not to pay your taxes (legally) or escape the surveillance state.

There are exceptions to this of course, such as government-sponsored monopolies (healthcare, ISPs, utilities). But a lot of that is regulatory capture IMO - we've ceded a lot of power to MegaCorp Inc. which I'm not comfortable with either.

As terrible as a lot of big private companies are, at least they can't waltz into any/every platform (e.g. G, FB, Twitter, etc) and demand everything they have on you like the feds can. No one holds a candle to the potential of govt tyranny, everyone is at the mercy of "the man".

At the end of the day, massive consolidation of power at the top levels of society is never healthy, whatever form it may take.
Regarding Con 5), it's generally true with some exceptions. I wrote a Fortran book (https://www.manning.com/books/modern-fortran) and expect it to stay fresh for at least several years thanks to the slow pace and the unusually high maturity of the technology. On the downside, it's a relatively narrow niche so I don't expect high total number of sales. For instance, about 800 copies have been pre-ordered in the first 2.5 years of writing. The book is done and will be out in print in November.
Funny; I thought it was "First they deplatformed Nazis, and I did not speak out because Nazis can get fucked." ;)

> I've been self-censoring for more than a decade now

Good! I recommend it. It's a basic skill that is useful when living in a society with other human beings whose situation (social power, emotional state, world view) we must account for. We have entire empathic neurological systems to support that behavior.

> My advice to everyone reading HN is to pick the winning side, and conform to it.

My advice is never pick the Nazis.
How do you propose to determine that a new, never-seen-before URL hosts child porn? In the US, viewing child porn is a strict-liability offense, meaning you are guilty of a serious felony just by looking at a page with the image(s) on it.

There are also civil and criminal liability concerns at the corporate level by assuming the responsibility for constructing and/or maintaining these filters.
> Many sibling commenters mention employers a lot.

Probably because the vast majority of Americans can only afford healthcare for those debilitating injuries by finding an employer who will sign them up for the employee health plan.

"This simple acknowledgment is especially directed at younger readers: so that when it happens to you, you will remember this post and know that you’re not the only one.

While banging your head on the problem, make sure that your understanding increases every day. To start with, do you really understand why there is a mistake? Of course some step doesn’t go through, but what is the simplest form of the incriminated statement that fails? Can you write it down? Can you formulate and prove a weaker form of it?

Here's an example of vegan, plant-based foods from another UK supermarket called Asda (their own-branded range).

https://groceries.asda.com/cmslisting/content/event?N=102737...

I have tried their 'Vegan Vegetable Fingers' and they are quite nice. However, I suspect many of these foods still count as 'processed foods'. Some consumers might mistakenly think they are healthy because they are plant-based (and the packaging will re-enforce that).

Here are the ingredients for the 'Vegan Vegetable Fingers' - would you buy these based on these ingredients? Or would the ingredients put you off?

- Vegetables (51%) [Carrots, Sweetcorn, Peas, Onions, Potatoes]

- Fortified Wheat Flour [Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin (B3), Thiamin (B1)]

- Water

- Sunflower Oil

- Potato Flakes, Maize Starch, Wheat Gluten

- Salt, Sugar

- Rye Flour, Yeast Extract

- Pea Fibre

- Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Yeast, White Pepper, Tomato Powder, Red Pepper Powder, Parsley, Flavouring, Sage, Black Pepper Extract, Sage Extract

I tried to use fish for a while and ended up giving up and going back to bash, mostly for one (somewhat irrational) reason: fish kept recognizing bash-isms and yelling at me about it.

Clearly there's a code path to recognize the thing, so why not just do it? It already knows what I want, why post a message instead? Either interpret it, or don't.
Several years ago I attempted to profit from earnings. I did much research, and would correctly guess beat or miss exptectation, but it seemed the movement afterwards was not correlated to the beat/miss, but more with the change in forward guidance. So, insiders can know the numbers, but if they don't also know the guidance, they can't really profit. Even then, the market would sometimes run in the opposite direction it should have given the news, or gyrate wildly until early the next day.
> We keep on hearing that having the antibodies = no resistance to subsequent infection and then articles like this. I also don't buy it fully.

They definitely did not. Spoofing orders isn't going to let you post 1bn. Instead, it will only slightly/moderately improve the alpha of your existing trading operations.
Power doesn't cost nearly as much for TCO to get anywhere near even the "preemptible price" of V100 (and probably A100 when it's ready) over a period of half a year. And now that 3090 has 24gb, which is needed for larger models, a solution with a couple of consumer cards is even more competitive for experimentation. You can also sell your cards in a year or two, and recover some of the costs. (All that of course if Nvidia's gimping of consumer cards doesn't significantly affect your code)

"Know Your Ropes"–Intro to Spinnaker for Financial Services by Armory (YC W17)
There are far more variables that affect how much energy a human body can get out of a piece of food than affect how much energy you will get out of a battery.

If you define "calories in" as "how much the person actually metabolized from the food they ate", then "calories in - calories out" will obviously determine their weight, but you can't actually measure calories in using that definition, so it's a useless definition.

For dietary purposes, the definition people are using is the number on the packet of food they ate, which there is obviously no law of thermodynamics requiring that it perfectly match their change in weight.
lol, dude, the criticism is mostly from authoritarian countries, China, Iran, Russia, or countries that violate human rights, Sri Lanka(the entire issue with tamils), or US(Guantánamo Bay).
I've used fish in the past but went back to zsh. IIRC fish broke a bunch of times between versions and the maintainer feedback wasn't great. The maintainers of course don't owe me any of their time, so I'm not mad about it, I just don't use it anymore because I need my shell to work reliably every time I open a terminal. (I don't remember the precise problem but I'm sure I could go find it.)

I now use zsh with zgen and a smattering of modules. It works fine, doesn't have the issue that you have to first translate every snippet you find to your new shell, and it's still easy for the newer shell users in your life to use.
I've had Flexible SSL default on several times when setting up domains, it's not always a conscious choice. For small businesses who perhaps don't know any better, they move their site to CF, see the green lock in the browser and think everything is fine. It's an extremely dangerous feature and for a security company CF should really be doing better.
I think the problem is for most technical areas and for most technical books the writer has not literally written THE book on the subject, they have at best written A book on the subject - of people who have written the book on the subject I can think of, off the top of my head:

Donald Knuth
Harold Abelson and the Sussmans

- a few others but you get the picture, most subjects do not have a definitive book.
Pretty easy to drop into bash for a second to copy paste something from the internet and introduce God-knows-what onto your system. ;)

You can also set Fish to start up after bashrc (or whatever), so that you don't have to translate all your startup stuff.
Stark Trek had a reputation based economy and it worked out pretty well, right?
It's a chronic problem on work projects that people write shell scripts without a shebang operator at the top. Obscure error messages are usually how I find out someone is using zsh, fish, or some other shell.

I fix what I can, but it's like mopping up water during a rainstorm. Yes it's better than doing nothing, but also there will be more in twenty minutes so don't make any plans.
The "terms" in this context are not referring to contractual terms between Kodak and the ISOs, they are the conditions under which Kodak customers could obtain service and repair parts for the copiers they originally purchased.

In Kodak, customers originally purchased Kodak copiers without any aftermarket restrictions, and then several years later Kodak changed their policy and stopped selling repair parts to the ISOs, which left customers locked into buying repair services from Kodak instead.

The key factor in Kodak was that there was change to the conditions under which customers could obtain repair parts that customers could not have reasonably anticipated or planned for when they originally purchased Kodak copiers. The fact that a change in policy occurred is very important to that case, and indeed some subsequent courts have found that absent that change in policy, Kodak does not apply.

Epic's lawyer spent the first part of yesterday's hearing attempting to argue that Kodak applied to this case, but judge seemed very skeptical of this line of argument. As Apple's lawyer correctly pointed out, single-brand markets are a unicorn in anti-trust law and this case does not fit the narrow exceptions created by Kodak (and a related case, Newcal).

This is not true at all. One of the reasons fingerprints and DNA are so valuable is that they are left behind by people as they go about their business, and you can go in retrospectively without their knowledge and collect their biometrics.
The environmental impact is also suspect. There were about as many head of cattle (buffalo) in the US before white people arrived as there are now, but somehow the cows are causing global warming, not you know, fossil fuels.
will you make same argument if Microsoft makes Windows OS a walled garden with Edge as the only browser? will it be justified that there are Linux alternatives and no one is forcing users to use Windows?

Your reasoning is valid if Apple happens to be not so big player or if Apple has many alternatives. Between iPhone and Android, do consumers have any other choice? Between Windows and Mac, do consumers have any other choice?
I couldn't agree more. Once you realize that energy is the fundamental unit which powers everything else in the economy, not only from every movement of ourselves to those of our machines as well, you realize the more we advance in our ability to produce more and more energy at cheaper and cheaper costs in increasingly reliable ways, the more we can accelerate, without exception, every other industry.
That's kind the whole point, there are B2B providers who simply intentionally don't want to talk with smaller companies with tight budgets. Are you willing to discuss an eight figure custom offer? The company will fly out a sales team to you next week to negotiate the details. Do you want to haggle about details since mere 100k/year is stretching your budget? Nope, this is not worth the time and effort of the high-touch sales process. You could get a free trial, but if and only if you're likely to buy something significantly large in the end, if the person wanting the trial has the influence and authority to sign off a multimillion purchase instead of someone just looking for a service for their department of a couple dozen employees.

Such companies don't want to talk with potential users, because the end users themselves generally don't get a vote or veto or choice of what the enterprise (i.e. not a small company with a tight budget) will buy, they want to talk with high-level managers who have the authority to buy something on behalf of thousands of users.

To that regard, the analysis performed by the OP is probably irrelevant, as it's about "online searches of thousands of B2B SaaS buyers", but come on, the target audience of high-touch B2B companies does not go out making online searches for such services; those decisionmakers either choose from one of the companies whose sales teams have been courting them for years before the sale, or perhaps they look up the Gartner report for "category leaders", or perhaps they ask their consulting partners for recommendations, they don't just go on google to start researching from scratch - and if they needed that research, they would not visit the site personally, they'd get a team of assistants to gather such info and get quotes tailored for their specific needs; if there was standard pricing listed on the site, that would/should get ignored anyway, they'd expect custom discounts for their volume. Of course, there are many B2B SaaS "buyers" who do such online searches, but they're all the the small scale non-enterprise people with tight budgets, the kind of people to whom the company does not want to talk in the first place.
That's basically the plan for the UK network going forward, electrification has been ludicrously expensive so most of our rail network (in miles) is serviced by diesel trains, even some of the major lines have had full electrification indefinitely delayed.

It also allows un-electrified or inactive railway lines to be incorporated into urban metros much more easily and we're doing that as well.
>Once that happens, the value of those networks will rapidly deteriorate as people will seek out more authentic experiences with real people.

I think you have completely misread the situation. The "fakification" of social media is already happening. Much if not most engagement is already driven by bots or by fabricated "influencers" and more people are using these platforms more often, not less.
