Solving the groups problem would be a game changer. I can't recreate the same kind of group value that Facebook Groups provides or Google Groups provided anywhere else.

Maybe it's impossible, but hopefully some day we can get to a point where social media silos are not necessary, with easy to set up and use personal sites/apps that use Indieweb principles. The Indieweb movement is excellent for this but needs a lot more developer contributions to make this dent a reality.
To make it more fun, we added a bunch of new features to ConsoleChat. Users can now eg. create and join channels, see who users are online etc. All the current commands are on the website (consolechat.io)

It would also be cool to hear what other features people would like to have in this kind of service.

I'm not surprised an editor wouldn't want to publish

"The Washington Post on Sunday published an op-ed -- by Thomas Rid, one of those centrists establishmentarian professors whom media outlets routinely use to provide the facade of expert approval for deranged conspiracy theories"

That's childish at best, and more importantly, it's ineffective. With paragraphs like those you lose any reader who isn't an hyper-partisan social-media warrior.
Yeah - I'm a bit alarmed on how many people can't think out of the blue ball (sorry for the pun) - there are many many ways we can build our own environments as needed about anywhere in space given some resources and energy.

Also while Earth is pretty ideal, it is not perfect - for example some places in Japan can be regularly hit by earthquakes, tsunami, flooding, Typhoons and even volcanic eruptions!

If done right, habitats could be much better than planetary environments.
It seems like consequences are the only language that bad actors understand, unfortunately.
Further, a RPi is not a development board.

Development boards are typically more expensive, since they are produced in lower numbers, and have features a consumer is not interested in (debugging, etc.).

Unless the manufacturer pushes development boards hard to e.g. pull developers in to the new eco-system quickly, then they might get sold at a bargain. But those are then usually not usable in place of the "real thing" (would cut into sales).

I put more initial weight into someone who published the Snowden disclosures than those who oppose him. But go read what he has to say and examine his sources. If what he says is true, then weigh less those opposing what he said else weigh them more.

Don’t listen to all the voices here seeking to discredit him. They are playing defense. Just go to original sources and make up your own mind.
Mostly speech to text, probably more on mobile then destop right now.

People are getting more used to interacting with technology using their voice (e.g. through Google Assistant) this is why we want to help developers offer "deep links" into their web functionality with fast speech input.
> You didn't read it properly, because he never said protesters. Changing "rioters" to "protesters" completely changes the meaning of what Cotton said.

This was a calculated move to paint all the protesters as rioters and drum up support for treating them as such.

Even without reading into it, Cotton was advocating for bringing US military troops into US cities to put down the protests because some of them turned violent. That is NOT normal, and NOT something we should see in a healthy democracy.

I might add that once the police stopped attacking protesters violently, the protests calmed down pretty quickly.

How do you interpret this in the "Pricing" modal:

> Our free forever plan has unlimited tasks, sprints and workspaces, with no user limits.
> The real situation is this: you have $200 of illegal money. Now you have the choice between using that $200 to buy a widget that's worth $100, or a widget that's worth $200.

> Obviously you'll buy the widget that's worth $200.

Sure, but what if we are talking about $200M instead? Now you want to go for the most expensive assets because you want to reduce the number of transactions (each transaction has a time overhead that is probably more significant than the dollar cost overhead). You know you aren't getting it done in one transaction because that $200M widget isn't out there.

Now assume you know that there are plenty of other money launderers operating in the same market. And you know logic behind the article. Now you aren't so worried about overvaluing an asset by 5 or 10%.

Just a thought experiment, I don't have any evidence or even anecdata to back it up.
I’ve been concluding that a technical product manager role could be a good fit for me also. But some searching led me to believe that “technical product managers” make less than both “product managers“ and “software engineers.”

I would interpret Downton Abbey class as British peers (nobility). The characters that had estates but no titles were Landed gentry.
So the requirements for this are that you have to have a particular 'skin color' to qualify for this camp? Never new that open discrimination like this was acceptable in the 21st century especially at Apple.

Shameful.
Fair enough. Rampant consumerism is a threat to our survival as a species. I personally find it revolting.

How people can derive pleasure buying low-quality clothes and widgets made by people in horrible conditions is beyond me. Never mind the impact on our environment.

I have a lot of compassion for addicts. I used to be an opiate addict. It's all the same phenomenon; trying to fill an internal void with something external.

I suspect that the majority here, however, do not feel the same way. I've seen too many posts where folks describe their love of amazon with a fervour best described as religious.
From TFA:

> Note: In addition, the text of the UI components and header menu will be in English only, going forward. They will not be translated, at least not initially.

But that's the easiest part! I understand the part about translations becoming stale, and how it's hard to manage, but honestly, translating a UI isn't that hard.

I think a good recipe to get better translations is:

- Don't treat it as an aftertought. Co-locate the en-US assets with the translated versions, that way your contributors actually see that there are other languages to support. Each page on the MDN website should be a folder containing a file for each language.

- If a translation is out-of-date, link to these more recent languages, and offer an auto-translated version in the meantime. Importantly, let the user switch between the automatic translation and the manual one. Also, make it obvious how they can contribute.
>A brief glance at the stories The Intercept has published on Biden will suffice to refute those claims.

A brief glance at https://theintercept.com/search/?s=biden in the last month shows me pieces like:

>Anatomy of a Lie: How the Trump Campaign Edited Video of Biden to Create a Fake Gaffe

>Trump’s Pathetic Attempt to Get Netanyahu to Attack Biden Falls Flat

>Move Over, Hunter Biden. Meet Eric Branstad, the China Ambassador’s Son Who Got Rich in Trump’s Swamp.

The only thing that irks me more than biased news sources is biased news sources that are pretending to be impartial.
I think you're supposed to read "a random person" as "any random malicious person".

What prevents the violent psychopath from killing the child they see to get their lollipop when they want something sweet? The fact that there are repercussions. What prevents those that have no qualms about stealing from a store from doing so most of the time (even those that steal don't do it every time they enter a store)? The same.
> The media has fallen into the well-known trap of optimizing the wrong KPI. You want to maximize trust with the public, not engagement, if you want your media company to survive if its value proposition is providing journalism and the usual benefits that come with a free press.

That's a big 'if'. The 'media's value prop is not to promote a free press. Those that believe that to be the case are quickly going extinct.

> This does mean that there's a huge opportunity if you assume trust is something people will pay for. [...] I think the market will correct this error

If it's true (I don't think it is), and to the degree that you can sustain a business over many years. I don't think it's even possible to be true, because the money itself is corrupting. The market cannot correct what doesn't require correction.

I think where your analysis fails is that you presume that the media has shifted their position on their own. They haven't; they've reacted to the public. It's actually a positive feedback loop, not negative -- it's just that it's positive in the direction you dislike. We cannot depend on or hope for market correction. A free press in modern times requires public funding.

Yes, it was a calculated move to try to paint ALL the protests as riots and justify potentially deadly use of force.

Wikipedia also had a section on the russiagate conspiracy which states:

> The Special Counsel's report, made public on April 18, 2019, examined numerous contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials but concluded that, though the Trump campaign welcomed the Russian activities and expected to benefit from them, there was insufficient evidence to bring any conspiracy or coordination charges against Trump or his associates.
I am against the over-romanticizing of space colonization. It's not going to be like Star Wars or Star Trek. It's going to be like living and working deep in a mine that you can never leave.

But this is garbage.

I don’t think asking a government to get it’s priorities straight is “anti-space bs”. I’m not from the US, but I too would be mad if I saw the gov talk about man in the Moon/Mars while I don’t have healthcare and the country is on fire.

Anyone who believes that the media is interested in the TRUTH should read the old classic: https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691134802/li...

The media exists primarily for its own purposes and agendas and only incidentally to promote the honest interplay of facts and ideas.
The farther away the investor, the less stake they have in local success. In-country folks will be paying more taxes in-country, which affects things like social programs, infrastructure, and defense that contribute to a region.
I know, this discussion is quite old (e.g. Mac vs. PC), but can you clarify how you define PC in your post?

Particularly what makes this RISC-V board a PC, what an RPi does not have? Form factor, ATX power or PCI-Express?
>So sooner or later the economics will work out for a "RISC-V Pi".

There is already pretty cool stuff. Look at this developer board, you get a RISC-V Dual Core 64bit + an ESP32 (a full MCU for wifi + Bluetooth) on the same board and a camera for $24. That Risc-V chip is optimized for processing neural networks.

Whether he realizes it or not, Greenwald is a foreign intelligence officer’s dream.

Regardless of the actual authenticity of the Hunter emails, stuff like this is fairly easy to plant. So even if Greenwald got it right this time (maybe, maybe not), I can assure you that he will get it very wrong at least once in the future by the hands of a foreign intelligence officer (assuming he still has an audience).

Folks who aggressively advocate for the verification of authenticity of documents, especially digital documents, have a very good reason for taking the stance that they do.

Your position is the same as everyone here: You haven't read the story and have no information whatsoever to claim that they are being good editors or not.

> You should not have any expectation of privacy once you are outside the confines of your house.

My first reaction was “what a sad dystopian position.” But then I thought further and while I agree in general, I think “privacy” needs a bit more nuance to it. If you are outside should it be against the law to have a camera that films you for security? No I don’t think so. There is a reasonable expectation that business and home owners will have security cameras to protect their property. But in the case of filming you in order to monetize your likeness and shopping habits, I think this goes a step too far, and becomes broadly unacceptable as too intrusive. Should I only be able to retain my information (likeness, shopping habits) by hiding in my home? That’s the dystopian part.
I think this is a great point; it’s much more important that ideas survive than that the posts themselves do. Even if Reddit gets turned off tomorrow, hundreds of thousands of people will know that the Tiananmen Square massacre happened. Hundreds of thousands of people aren’t going to read your blog about the oppressive Chinese regime.
Well, it should enable many things that are currently prohibitively expensive due to the cost of materials.

You know, people don't buy stuff (just) because it looks nice and shiny but to use to to do things. Aluminium used to be more expensive than platinum yet we survived it's price tanking & it made practical airplanes and drink cans possible!
You're absolutely right - that is the main issue. I'm not suggesting for a moment that fixing labor union litigation would fix housing. It wouldn't.

I was using the pipes as an accessible example of what is a single piece of a very, very large mosaic.

The assertion I intended to make was precisely this: That it is impossible to point to a single bad actor (although, you are likely correct in pointing out the most egregious of them). The core issue (IMO, the thing to fix) is that the system of incentives that surrounds the developers, contractors, politicians, homeowners, and everyone else involved rewards slicing the pie over making more pie. Adding value, when it's easier to litigate your way into aquiring a larger share of existing value, is pointless from any individual's standpoint.

Take a look at the debacle that surrounded the Stuyvesant Town housing projects - this is a case where this sort of pie-slicing quite nearly made it through, but was struck down by the courts. I use this example because due to it's failure the techniques involved are clearly visible:

https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2010/01/america...

...my central assertion is that the pipes and deals like this are motivated by the same underlying socioeconomic factors. And too many lawyers.

That's not how truth works. If something is not correct, state why it is not correct. You may not like Fox or The Guardian or the NYT or Daily Wire or Vox but that doesn't affect whether their content is true.
Alternatively, continue posting to Reddit, HN, etc. but mirror everything substantial you write as posts on your own website, or mirror the original threads in their entirety with something like ArchiveBox.io or Archive.org.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand the role and requirements of serious journalism. One is attempting to corroborate information, and weighing that information by the likelihood that it is, in fact, fact. Tony may have seemed very credible to you, but I think that there are many people who are good at seeming credible while lying. So unless the specific information you find damning is corroborated by some source independent of Bobulinski, serious journalists will not and should not present it as fact.

Tucker Carlson is not serious journalism - he's opinion at best and propaganda at worst. None of the above applies to him (as persuasively argued by Fox News itself).

Let me quote the WSJ linked above:
>The venture—set up in 2017 after Mr. Biden left the vice presidency and before his presidential campaign—never received proposed funds from the Chinese company or completed any deals, according to people familiar with the matter. Corporate records reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show no role for Joe Biden.

Here's a detailed Q&A by NYT:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/25/us/politics/bidens-china....
About five years ago there was a decal on the glass beside the entrance to the Stanford Shopping Center Neiman Marcus notifying customers that they were tracked by their phones.

I wonder if they stopped in response to complaints, or decided the notification was unnecessary. At the time, I figured their system judged me for browsing $800 jeans and not making a purchase.
I'm honestly surprised at Firefox's behavior here. I thought all of the browsers years ago identified homoglyph attacks and deployed defenses. For example, in Safari, this domain does render as https://www.xn--80ak6aa92e.com because Safari decided this was a homoglyph attack. My impression was all the browsers did this for any domain that used a homoglyph of a latin character, so why is Firefox failing?

Why Java Developers should use Java on Programming Web browser client-side apps?
I've written a new article to show that using Java for writing Web browser apps for Java developers is definitely the way to go.

(1) Using IndexedDB on Web Browser with Well Known Design Patterns — Only with Java by Mrs. Gwitany and Dr. Jackl - http://bit.ly/GwtIndexedDBDesignPatterns

(2) Why Don’t You Use Java for Programming the Client-Side Web Apps on Web Browser? - https://bit.ly/TypeScriptVsJavaGWT

I hope to see more Java developers using Java as a Programming Language (not as a Platform) to write web apps for browsers. Thanks to GWT and J2CL it is fun, productive and production ready today.

IMHO it is pitty that all those Java main vendors forget the Web Browser as a Platform, because after Applets, Java WebStart, there is no standard solution based on Java on Web browsers. All Web browser solutions are always based on JavaScript and more and more TypeScript.

We have definitely some tools and frameworks that embrace Java as a Programming Language on Web browsers like GWT, J2CL, TeaVM, JSweet... but I would like to see Java2JavaScript transpiler as a part of Java distribution.

What do you think, Java developers?

Thanks and enjoy reading.

1. Looks like it was the Netherlands, not Norway [1] -- embarrassing, but not of fundamental importance to the point, which stands: greenhouse farming is far from impossible.

2. I'm a penniless would-be immigrant? No, we are both captial-rich citizens of a capital-rich country in a capital-rich world capable of deploying enormous creativity and resources at incomprehensible scale to solve practical problems. Including this one, which doesn't actually require very much creativity or resources in comparison to our capabilities and needs. People predicting the doomsday love to downplay this side of economics -- the good side, the one that works. Their enormous pile of failed predictions should remind us to keep some perspective. Actual penniless immigrants? Yeah, they're going to be a problem, a big one, both in a humanitarian sense and in a cynical political stability sense. But is this the end of our civilization, or of human civilization? Not by a long shot, and claiming that it will be is crying wolf to such a shrill degree that it's an embarrassment to the cause.

It's a hard problem, but I don't think there's any solution that doesn't make the web measurably worse.

We have consolidation and the exclusion of bit players and new entrants in real life already, and I don't like it. Now we're talking about solving these problems on the internet in a way that seems like it will lead to the same place.

I definitely don't want Google to solve this problem for me. Then again, I don't use their search engine nor primarily their browser, so then we end up with "solutions" that are very unevenly distributed.

The root issue is that the internet is a very hostile environment, and trying to make it safe seems like a losing cause, a denial of reality.
It might become a comparison with the Pi4 compute module + the current breakout board they are offering which has a PCIE 1x slot. So far some NVME drives are confirmed to work.
