By that same token, though, Best Buy owns certain classes and brands for products that they sell within their stores. Insignia is Best Buy's brand. That puts it in at least the same partial sphere and no one is arguing that their prioritization of Insignia is unfair.

It’s better than most fast food options. I always hit a Dickies off i95 in North Carolina when heading to Florida or South Carolina. It’s better than some awful McDonalds or Arby’s.
They would have done this immediately upon seeing the story; checking the veracity of a single highly significant fact which purports to originate from a known source doesn't take a week. Anything more than a half-day delay in responding is significant; they could have produced a repudiation video by now.

This doesn't necessarily mean that the story is true, just that the campaign has made a deliberate choice.

Often the comments are better than the article :( But yes, you need to be careful in order to not bring up things that were already mentioned. Often it is good enough to read the comments, skim the article, and then only post a comment.
I don't disagree but I had one very miserable period in my life when schadenfreude (laughing at other people suffering) was my only entertainment. I was full well aware of it but couldn't change it due to chemical imbalances of the brain, plus being physically very weak (it's hard to change habits when your human battery is always at the 10% mark).

So again, I agree with the premise but statements like yours could be infinitely more helpful by suggesting ways to stop using these toxic motivators for fun.
I rarely use driving directions from an algorithm, but when I do I always assume they are biased. Sometimes I ask them to be biased in a certain way, like stay away from tolls.
The supply may not explode - maybe most talent was already tilted towards those expensive areas since that's where so many jobs were - but for any given employer in a given city, today's supply is a lower bound for their supply if they accept remote workers. It can only go up.

There's a potential scenario of now "company in cheap city X is willing to pay for SF talent, but couldn't convince them to relocate before, but can now hire them remote" that would also push up demand for top talent, but it seems much more likely to me that demand for top talent stays about the same while supply increases at least a small amount, which would push down wages.

To be fair, the Trump team targeted the electoral college win. If they had targeted the popular vote, i.e. campaigning in states that they wouldn't win outright, but could garner votes, they most likely would have won the popular vote. Meaning they could have won that game if they had tried.
not everything has an ulterior motive
> Maybe getting rid of professional journalism

That is why we are in this mess. Social media was fun before "professional journalism" started getting involved.

Think about it. The toxicity on social media is entirely driven by the news media. The culture wars and everything from smollet to "culture of rape on campus". The news blames social media but it's actually the news traveling within social media that is the problem.
So far I have tested the following:
Skype: "No device found" (laptop closed)

OBS: Works great - added a "Sony Camera" perfectly first time

If anyone wants me to try something else, let me know.

Assuming this isn’t some GPT-3 garbage, why does any of this matter? I can’t discern why I should care whether the author is right or wrong - the implications of the argument seem to be centered entirely around whether Twitter popularity is deserved or not, or just semantics about the definition of “polymath”.
again. wrong.
If I am weighing up:

* Complete no code - Bubble

* Out of the box code - Next.js etc.

* Code - Node JS / Express etc.

* Canonic

Where do you fit in? Who chooses you over the other options?

Because the disadvantage of yours is lock-in / pricing / up-skilling to a non-standard way. Same problems as many others - Bubble.io etc.

There must be some killer win you get from using this.

Bubble lets people who have never coded build a rough MVP, maybe get some orders, so I can see why people fork up the $ and struggle through that UI, because the alternative is a 4-5 figure fee from a freelance programmer.

But I don't think Canonic avoids code as you still need to do the front end. (Maybe that's it? You create a front end version of Canonic next?)

So I'm interested in who will buy this and why.
China Conducts Test of Suicide Drone Swarm Launched from a Box on Truck
I used to do that for my own company just for our own customers to use via our software.

It was just a single T1 line in a data center with a linux box with a Dialogic T1 card installed, running HylaFax+.

This got us 24 high speed fax lines on an internet connected server, and all the application servers sent jobs to it via the regular hylafax+ client (which is like a slightly customized ftp)

The users didn't use the fax lines directly to send arbitrary files or prints from their desktops, they just used our software which had the option to fax things it generated. For some years there were several thousand end users and back end automated processes generating tons of faxes 24/7 and it hardly ever scratched the surface of that T1, because it often sent the faxes faster than the traditional 9600. Many times the receiving machine could receive at 14.4, and sometimes even at 19.2 or 33.6, and the server queing up the jobs and using all 24 lines could chew through a lot fast, so even when there was a lot of jobs, they didn't pole up much.

That wasn't a generic service but an integrated one, but it's only a small step from there to having a generic email-to-fax gateway/service, or a web front end, or even a virtual printer driver that faxes instead.

I used to use a generic service like that for a while also. Not one I made, someone else's service. Unity Fax, later renamed to fax.com. It worked like I just said, you could send and receive by email, or through their web site. They gave you your own phone number that anyone sending a fax to that number was sent to your email (or your inbox on the web site).

There are many such services just like that.
Yeah you can to some pretty dark corners of youtube when you put it on autoplay :)
The selective application of their terms is precisely the problem. It renders their policies essentially meaningless when certain groups are given preferential treatment.

The thing is, I would have thought by now that these companies would have learned from the past. The more you try to censor information on the internet, the more attention you draw to it.

It's not an entirely inappropriate comparison. The similarities are obvious, and they are extremely relevant.

However, relative to the days of broadsides, the barrier to entry for dissemination of ideas has decreased by orders of magnitude and the potential reach of such ideas has increased by orders of magnitude.

It's like comparing slingshots and nuclear weapons. Yes, they're both things that let you hurt people from a distance.
Can a synthetic biologist comment on whether or not something like mitochondrial base editing should have been included. If it should have, is its exclusion presumably due to the fact that it was published so recently?

If they want to take that stance, they should also be held liable for anything posted to "their" platform, from porn to slander, fake news, and any personal insults.

They are trying to claim control only when it suits them and not when there may be liability. Can't have it both ways.
The experiment took place over several months which increases the chances of contamination.
Bad guys and "I love my country but fear my government" are pretty strong counter-arguments to the ideas in this article. The comparison to a physical search falls pretty flat, IMO, because of the secrecy digital searches allow.
The article touches on this, albeit briefly. Talent is no longer a requirement to be popular. Loud, novel - but also familiar -, and repetitive are all qualities that are favored over talent or skill.
There seem to be a genre of books by Democratic party partisans which talk about how their main failure is that of communication. I personally doubt that either side really controls much; some narratives are just more convincing to certain groups than to others.
I think it's a failure of leadership.

I believe that stupidity is and has always been widespread and in normal times the more intelligent ideas have the widest subscription, even among the stupid. But when leaders fail to [be open, be objective, act in good faith, stick to the truth], then even the stupid can detect that they are being played and they rebel and seek alternative facts. So my theory is that leaders are currently gaming the populous rather than leading them, and that this is so obvious to everybody that trust in leadership and institutions has gone out the window.

Scott Adams has recently asserted that about 90% of what we are being told is not true. I'm don't concur with Scott on that figure, but clearly even smart people have lost trust in leaders/institutions. When the news refuses to report on 25% of newsworthy stories because they either make Trump look good or Biden look bad... when the news claims it's perfectly safe to protest BLM issues in the streets during a coronavirus pandemic... when even judges are clearly acting in bad faith (Julian Assange extradition case, Michael Flynn case)... when the Supreme Court becomes (or is perceived as becoming) the arm of a political party rather than an objective trustable institution, then the populous loses faith in the leaders/rules/institutions and we get widespread rioting, violence, a hell of a lot of stupid ideas, and perhaps hopefully some positive changed buried within all that somewhere.
Over simplified version: free speech advocates of the bygone era started hearing too much that they disagreed with.

The reality is that people were always saying what is being said today, but there were many more checks that reduced how far and how quickly the message would spread. You may have had right and left leaning media outlets, but they were typically closer to centrist views. This is more due to them having to maintain their reputation by checking facts than censorship, so the main thing that differed was their spin on a story. That pretty much left word of mouth and fringe publications. Fringe publications are just that, they had limited distribution. Word of mouth was pretty much restricted to social circles. Anything too far from reality (or people's perceptions) quickly died off.

Online business models changed that. Fringe publications are no longer fringe, at least not in the historic sense. Word of mouth is no longer word of mouth, since people have access to publishing platforms. Reputation is no longer a restraint, so fact checking is irrelevant. Rather than settling on more centrist views, we tend to focus upon the extremes. A lot of disagreeable stuff is being said at those extremes, which is why (I suspect) that a lot of the old-time free speech advocates have reevaluated their positions.

(And all of that is before considering how some people are actively manipulating what we are exposed to.)
If I read the abstract right, they did in fact have a control. They had the exact same palladium/silver mix in it, but didn't cycle D2, H2, or He in and out. It wound up with much fewer of the surprising elements.

> I don't know what people expect from their phones, but 5-6 years of updates and the phone still running well is incredible.

I thought about that recently. And I would want for my phone to be something akin to my car, lasting for several years (10-20 of I take care of it), being able to repair it, and not needing constant updates just to keep working (although Tesla seems to be going in the smartphone direction).

Hasn't been my experience that most people are stupid. I mean yeah, most people I ever met were quite helpless in various semi-emergency -- or just unusual -- situations but that doesn't make them stupid. It makes them kind of pampered and not well prepared, nothing more.

I think what you describe can be attributed to our brain noting the negative things much stronger in its memory while it always writes off the usual / slightly positive events as "normal".

In short, we get outraged easily, but it's hard to make us positively impressed in a lasting manner, it seems.

I had an issue that sounds like that settlement issue with a card where it would be used at a 7/11 in LA for like $11-15 every week for a few months. (Never been to LA in my life)

The weird thing was that I’d get hit with an anti fraud decline getting gas in NY or Mass 50 miles from home, and it kept happening even after card replacement.
> Another thing that works against this is a lack of academic credit for doing,overseeing, or steering the work. This also could change.

Arguably, besides the PI (Principal Investigator) listed on a paper, you should also list a Principal Engineer.
When I wrote "word of mouth" I meant a mouth that I can see move from someone I know. I should have made that clear, sorry.
Twitter and Facebook are in a no-win situation. Remove this content and they are punished by the right removing section 230 protections. Allow it and the left calls them destructive monopolies and breaks them apart. It seems they have chosen to halt the spread of murky 'October surprise' claims on their platforms rather than repeat the course of October 2016. I can't blame them (and agree with their decision).
Just pin to a channel.
People are purposely spreading misinformation on these platforms and dumb people are eating it up. It is causing an intelligence crisis in the country because anyone can register a $20 domain, throw a WordPress blog on it, post some fake partisan smut and have it go viral.

You have freedom of speech. You don't have freedom to build a cult out of gullible people. Back in the 1990s when we were kids the only people on the internet were people smart enough to be there. Misinformation didn't have the reach it does now because the surfing public was mostly techie people with above average intelligence.

The bar has been dropped and now everyone is on the internet. There's "proof" of every concept on the internet. And no central repository for truth that everyone trusts.

There's a difference between being pro-speech and being anti-weaponization-of-falsehoods.

And then there's the issue of Facebook spending billions of dollars on code and infrastructure. How would you like it if you developed a social network, discovered that terrorists were using it as part of their deception campaign, and then have the government FORCE you to participate in the terrorist plot that you, your shareholders, and your engineers don't agree with? How is that fair to Facebook, who invested their resources into developing the entire platform? Maybe before the GOP wants to use disinformation campaigns they should have thought about developing their own distribution network beforehand? I mean you can't seriously be mad at Facebook for being good at capitalism, can you?
Did you hum or sing? I wonder if that makes a difference. I hummed.
Might not be on purpose, i.e. a newer os might just expect more resources to run, which are just not available on an older phone. The same happens with computers, try running the latest windows or macos on a 5 year old computer, it will probably run, but definitely not as smoothly as the os of the time when the computer was built.

I run a local instance of the web platform I developed (for wikis, publishing, etc) which is called https://quanta.wiki. You have to configure a docker file, and install docker to run it, so it's not a 'product' others would easily run this way, but I'm sharing this platform here with you guys because it has a lot of the same goals and designs.
The whole point is that they shouldn’t be deciding at all. You can walk over to your neighbors and share that info, you can post it on Reddit, you can post it on Telegram. If it’s wrong or not should be decided by the law and community policies, not the device manufacturer.

> A little preparation and basic work-study and critical thinking skills is all a post needs, along with something you really want to say and is actually worth saying, of course.

Unless you have high confidence in your ability to grasp the subject, this can be considerably daunting to someone who isn’t blessed with high confidence generally. And one can at least infer that gaining that confidence may involve significant time and effort. Especially in a forum where existing contributions are:

- high volume
- scored by peers
- fast moving
- particularly accepting of critical feedback along some lines but biased against other kinds of critical feedback

This can be very discouraging. I know from my own experience that even as someone who has a tendency to challenge, I find myself constrained by my lack of experience on many subjects, my estimation of the time involved to become conversant, and my general feeling of limited time and energy. And... yeah, then I find myself more inclined to read others’ opinions, more confident than my own, and defer to trusting them unless I have a strong instinct otherwise.

That seems like a pretty normal reaction for someone with limited attention and study resources? Am I missing something?

Launch HN: Dhaxle (YC2020)- Platform of remote project management
Hello, It’s Roger Yomba from Dhaxle (https:dhaxle.com) - We manage projects in remote locations for individuals and institutions

I started Startup School with the goal to launch Dhaxle globally. I am glad to announce that we have reached that goal today. Dhaxle is live on Product Hunt. Our platform helps people and institutions to manage their projects in remote locations and create wealth at their optimal pace.

The concept of Dhaxle was born after my frustration of losing money while trying to enhance my loved ones and consolidate my life as new immigrant in US. I undertook some projects in my country of origin.

My goals were to uplift my family and stop the pressure of sharing a third of my earnings almost every month. But I became frustrated when I couldn't get clear reports on the spending or updates on the implementation process. I lost part of my investment and abandoned other projects due to endless litigation with contractors.

I shared my pain with friends and extended the inquiries to my communities and peers around the world. A significant majority admitted experiencing similar issues.

Thus, my co-founders and I created this system that provides peace of mind, protects our investment and values our initiatives while uplifting our global family.

You will find a link to videos in the PH launch page as well as the link to our website. The system is on trial mode. Feel free to register an account to access your personal dashboard and assess how it can be useful to your needs of remote project management. DHAXLE: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/dhaxle
We are excited to receive all your feedback as we navigate through this important step in our journey.

I also have a video message for you: https://youtu.be/7MBJpnYjqOM.

If DHAXLE can add value to you or someone in your community and networks, awesome. Please let’s talk! I really want to hear your thoughts, questions and comments.

All the best for your startups!

Roger Yomba N.
