For me, my motivations and reasons for working in tech ebbs and flows throughout the years (which I suspect is the same to majority of the people).

At first, I decided to have a degree in a STEM field in order to have in the future a dayjob that would finance my artistic/philosophical aspirations, then I started to be really interested in some specific fields and was studying/working out of mostly intelectual curiosity and now (especially due to this COVID situation) I'm again seeing it as a way to survive in this rotten late-stage capitalism era but now without almost any kind of artistic aspirations (that's the way the passage of time destroys things).

Maybe I should take up one of the examples in the TFA and just dedicate myself to run a brewery.
As a service to the community, there's probably a redirect extension for whatever browser you're using that can be configured to take you directly to the "old Reddit" look-and-feel. For FireFox, I use Redirector and the following rule:

Redirect: https://www.reddit.com/(.*)
to: https://old.reddit.com/$1
Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeServer/ → https://old.reddit.com/r/HomeServer/

I also (apparently) use it to redirect mobile wikipedia to regular wikipedia.

For whatever it’s worth, in my experience the absolute non-disclosure of current salary, inflation of current salary to an acceptable number, or simply fabricating the number from the beginning are non-starters, due to a “service” payroll processors offer to employers. Look up TheWorkNumber some time, and pull a report for yourself if possible. It is absolutely horrifying such detail about salary history and job role/title is just warehoused somewhere. The last two jobs I’ve had included HR pulling a report as a routine part of making an offer.

I'm going to need some sources on conspiracy theories being harmless - Pizzagate[1] lead to someone firing off live rounds in a pizza parlor, QAnon is also tied to some kidnappings[2], anti-vaxers have led to somewhere in the range of 50-60k deaths[3] - anti-maskers... it's a bit too early to tell but some folks put the number around 130k[4]...

RealClearPolitics makes a point of presenting articles on both sides of the spectrum and has grown tremendously.

I am cautiously optimistic that there are a lot, lot, lot of people (like myself) that are interested in trying to balance their views, and make a point of reading both sides - especially when a headline is sensational.

I don't think Google news is as balanced as RCP, but it sure beats just reading CNN or Fox!

I run a simple service that syncs a private YouTube playlist and publishes it as an audio-only podcast feed. When I come across talks that I find interesting, I save them to the playlist, so I can listen to them while walking, exercising, etc., because I find it much easier to absorb new information if I can move around. This has been a huge boon to me personally, and I'm very worried about losing it.

They stated that a proper logo process would require too much of their time to devote to right now and they don't want a half-assed process. Also, to your proposal to manage the process, they clearly don't trust you after your company tried that trademark BS. So from their point of view anything you're involved with would actually require even more of their attention due to potential legal liability.

So it's not about not being a main member but rather about being basically seen as a bad actor to the community. Actions have consequences and the consequence for the trademark BS is being seen as an enemy of the community. The way to resolve that is to not annoy them about things while being as helpful as possible. Your comments on Github definitely are not that (they're adversarial, clearly annoy them with something they don't want to deal with, etc.) which simply cements their view of you being a bad actor.

edit: Your attitude is one I've seen before and it works in getting things from people who are forced to deal with you (service workers, employees, government officials, etc.). It does not work for people who can just walk away, block you or blacklist you since they will just do that.

Wasn't this all about the publishing of Hunter Biden's personal information? A violation of Twitter's privacy policy, that they have always enforced. And yes, they have enforced it against journalists posting newsworthy information deleterious to Trump.

"Twitter also said the Post article contained images that included personal and private information such as email addresses and phone numbers, which is against the social network's rules. "

Weird seeing disinfo get upvoted on Hacker News of all places.
personally, I think it's up to devs to make good games to save vr. Noone else is interested in making vr headsets and competing stores because vr games so far have not really been that great after the novelty wears off, most of them them are more akin to tech demos than games. the only game I find myself coming back to is beatsaber. HTC, basically the only other headset maker and having the backing and Frontpage advertising from steam and valve, is leaving the consumer market, I think that should be telling

> Is it 'trash' to be upset that Hunter Biden made 600k/yr from a no-show job that looks super crooked?

No, because that's clearly verifiable facts summarized by an opinion. Now ask "Is it trash to acknowledge that Hunter Biden had his dad use his influence to replace a straight-laced Ukrainian prosecutor with a corrupt stooge so Hunter could enrich himself?"

That's trash. Or:

"Is it trash to point out how Soros-funded Democrats are involved in a global pedophilia conspiracy that American conservatives are secretly working to take down?"

That's also trash.

While I'm all for right to repair, repairability is a tradeoff.

Everybody seems to want a razor thin phone/laptop/whatever, which makes easy repairs impossible, and treats them as expendable anyway. If it's out of warranty it's obsolete.

The amount of labor to diagnose and replace a chip on a tightly packed motherboard sometimes exceeds the price to replace an entire motherboard.

Wow, that is just classic lying with statistics.

1. You cannot just rely on how many sick people happen to be tested. Every single serology study implies a IFR of well under one percent. I am willing to bet that it will end up between 0.1 and 0.6 % for any developed country.

2. You cherrypick your data if you compare Sweden with Denmark or Germany and not with France or the UK.

My hypothesis is that countries that protect the elderly, and especially nursing homes, well have much fewer deaths. In every country this is were the deaths are concentrated.

Most notes I don't need to look at ever again after they've served their purpose, be it a month or three minutes of use.

I find the process gives me all the benefit of paper and all the benefits of digital, but supercharged because I am recalling from a written note at the same time to synthesize these ideas into a new format.

>On Feb. 9, The Daily Mail in the U.K. published a story detailing the harrowing detainment of 38-year-old Kate Scottow. Scottow, a resident of Hertfordshire, England, was handcuffed in front of her autistic ten-year-old daughter and breastfeeding 20-month-old son, brought into custody and held for seven hours in a single jail cell.

>What heinous action warranted such drastic measures? The crime of “misgendering,” or calling a transgender individual by their biologically determined set of pronouns instead of their preferred pronouns, precipitated Scottow’s arrest. Stephanie Hayden, a biological male who recently transitioned to identifying as female on social media, reported Scottow to the police.

If you would have tried to tell people 10 years ago that this actually happened, people would have thought you were crazy, or accuse you of promoting the slippery slope fallacy.

That's something I'm still fuzzy on. I'm not sure if it's the law in the state, or just the store's contractual policy. Also, I don't know if the laptop becoming property of the shop extends to the information contained within it. And it also didn't specify if the data on the hard drive was password protected or encrypted in any way which meant retrieval would still require hacking into it.

> But once it got so high up that @Jack commented on it, and now over a week later the NY Post's account is still banned, it doesn't float.

I can't speak to that. Now Twitter has a PR issue, and I'm guessing whatever choices they've made or not are based on them trying to mitigate and limit the PR damages.

My guess is, the NY Post is now smearing twitter's own reputation, and possibly twitter doesn't like that, and are worried they'd use their account to further promote anti-twitter rethoric which might be why Twitter is against unblocking their account.

I'm a bit confused how they unblocked the tweet about the email story but kept the account blocked, that's a bit strange.

Another thing I wondered is how likely could Twitter be accountable for if Hunter were to sue them for defamation and libel? Normally it seem fair game to defame and cause libel to politicians, but would that extend to Hunter which isn't directly involved in politics? Or could that be a winning lawsuit from him if he wanted too?

AFAICT I have not used youtube-dl to view videos that I couldn't watch on the site (except perhaps incidentally) - but I don't like executing random code on my computer and youtube web is in my view actively user-hostile and last I tried it had serious performance problems.

I had a feeling I was using youtube-dl to avoid ads (not blocks), but after some retrospective, I don't think I would have seen ads on most videos I watched from youtube and I think most were freely available videos, often embedded on author's pages - except people have an understandable habit of hosting them on youtube.

To conclude, I would disagree that we are all using youtube-dl as complained.

Will they revolt, though? Will consumers pay for it, though?

I sure hope so, as this is basically the whole reason I started working on communick[0]. But every feedback I've been collecting so far has been along the lines of "You should target this for the enterprise, not end-users". I went to Brave's BAT subreddit (a group of people supposedly tech-savvy people and who I thought were privacy-conscious) to ask them how/if they would like to spend the BAT received in privacy-oriented services[1]. The answers were depressing.

Granted, I was not expecting communick to be an overnight success and there is still a lot of work to be done to help people get onboard - both the technology and the privacy-first mindset. But even running super-lean I am far from covering my operational costs. If I don't get to the end of year and it is still not paying itself, I guess I will have to pivot and focus only on enterprise customers.

What browser are you using? Google has been known to make YouTube perform worse on browsers that aren’t Chrome.
“Computer. Press the coffee button.”
I wouldn't take Aereo as a guide to how justices would reconsider the Betamax case were it heard de novo. Aereo's business model was to redistribute over-the-air broadcast TV, and it was arguing that its technical implementation was technically not violating any laws. This cast it into the creative reinterpretation of law scenario that tends to lose out in court.
There’s plenty of online tools and browser extensions to accomplish the same task (I wonder how many of those use YouTube-dl on the backend)
The difference is that my home copy is my own work and action. The distribution, in this case, via source code, allows anyone to download that copy.

If the code snippet that downloaded infringing materials didn't exist and the user had to find the parameters themselves, that's fine. But it does exist and was included alongside a tool that makes that recording possible.

A better analogy would be like, if you had a video store that had a machine in the store that allowed people to make copies of a video tape using a duplicating machine. If someone wants to buy a duplicator for home use and use it in their home, that's one thing (though there was litigation around that too), but if you go to a store and can plug in a video tape -- and the example in the store is a copy of a Disney movie -- that's sort of what this is.

(Photocopy shops and libraries often have fairly strict rules about what kind of content can be photocopied, for what it's worth. The guy at Kinkos at 3am might not care that you're copying an entire textbook on the machine, but if you go to Office Depot in the daytime, they definitely will. Kinkos was sued and lost over a photocopy case in regards to excerpts/packets/anthologies for textbooks.)

The layout is just okay. Personally I think they are wanting FB to be a mobile-first service kind of like Instagram is. Insta was to the point where you used to not even be able to log in on a computer.

My problem is that the main feed has been completely useless to me for years. Here's what I would really like to see:

- Direct posts from an inner circle at the top

- Direct posts from acquaintances / posts in groups that I am a member of

- Reshares either gone or deprioritized from any direct post

- Ability to mute all reshares from a person instead of the current functionality of muting the individual source page.

Currently if I use my bookmark to my mother's page I can see that that is day 9 of 10 in some 'post your art' challenge. It's all stuff I haven't seen before because it's been a hot minute since I visited her, and I'm interested in these posts. She doesn't usually want her art online AT ALL and it's nice to see she is branching out in this way.

If I go to the main feed, it isn't there at all. I only know about it because I visited her page directly. When I call her, she will ask if I saw something my sister posted. I did not, because facebook doesn't think my sister is important to me either.

Then there's reshares. For the few people who facebook does think are important to me, it's 90% reshared memes and 10% the actual content I want to see. If I try to hide that content, my only options are to unfollow that person entirely, or to hide whatever meme page they shared from this time. Only problem is that every single post is from a different page, so that is not a workable solution.

Most of my Quest VR is still PC tethered (via Link cable or via Virtual Desktop over Wifi). But that being said, HTC does have a standalone Quest competitor... just not for the consumer market.

https://enterprise.vive.com/us/product/focus-plus/

Arguably their reasons seem sound because how can they compete against Facebook in the consumer market with such a subsidized headset? Facebook is betting on being able to monetize your FB account and VR usage in a way that HTC can't with just hardware sales and software sales. Given that Quest requires a facebook account, it makes it a non-starter for enterprise/business use cases.
Except it isn’t fake news. The fact that you think it is, is a symptom of a huge problem.
