I think there is a genuine need for escaping echo chambers but every attempt is usually aimed just showing the opposite side/narrative.

If I am conservative I won’t be open to be shown the most leftist content, and viceversa, while instead I might be open to be shown more balanced views that might gradually carry me out of my echo chamber instead of reinforcing it.

edit: this an OT comment more related to the echo chamber topic than the submission itself. Interesting project, OP.
‘After the Ice: A Global Human History, 20,000–5000 BC’ by Steven Mithen was excellent when I read it ~10 years ago.

I am sympathetic to what you are saying, but I think it does actually make sense: destroying Goodreads and turning it into just another sales funnel was presumably why Amazon acquired it.

A bunch of book reviews and book recommendations that can be used separately from Amazon doesn't help Amazon.
I have been considering making one. Goodreads is so awful, and the alternatives I have found are all quite quirky or broken in one way or another.

But having a database of "all books" is not necessarily trivial. Even though OpenLibrary really does provide a great start, the contents seem to come from Goodreads/Amazon in a lot of cases, and I'm concerned about the legality of making a commercial competitor based on it.

Also, it would take a lot of time and data to get a good recommendation engine going. Amazon really is in the best position to do this. Just a shame that Goodreads get so little love from them.
Sure, there are edge cases. But if someone sneaks in/crosses outside of official border crossing they already committed a greater crime than most people ever will.
It's great; I've used it for over a decade.
These days it's only on my servers, though, due to lack of time. I'd very much like something along the lines of Sabayon with OpenRC for my laptop (currently using Fedora/KDE).
This is really amazing and interesting!
Its the "one size fits all" rule which annoys me.

My car will comfortably sit at 110mph all day long, if I'm alone on a motorway in the early hours who am i hurting or endangering? It certainly isn't about safety because that same car will stop from 100mph in less distance than the highway code requires for 70.
I think that community is too small to even count as a bubble.
I assume that frequency band is still reserved, even though it's not used for anything anymore?
I think you’re confused a bit, so let’s split apart the use cases to be clear why IPs are bad in both cases.

You said devs and technical staff were typing IPs into their browsers. Presumably this means the address bar, which breaks TLS.

SSH derives a big chunk of security from key caching. If you’re using IPs you now can’t have an IP change without triggering key warnings on the SSH clients for a new key at a minimum or (worst case) a breach.

Where we are now is the best it's going to get.

Switching away from ads will feel good until some do-nothing decides they'll hit their bonus targets by re-introducing ads in addition to the subscriptions.

This has happened many times. It's obviously going to happen again.

You do not want to normalize subscriptions for every old Web service, trust me.
What is information and what is spam really? Both relatibe to humans' interpretation. Isn't it a bit egoistical to call such a hypothetical state of the universe "dead" just because there isn't anything of interest to humans? As far as I know humans could be "spam" right now considering the nature of am infinate world
Of course, the fact that you were subscribed was known to them, but which articles you read in your paper copy of the new york times they didn't know, unless you specifically told them. Nowadays the Reddit redesign tracks your mouse movements, Netflix when you pause a video, and Amazon which page of the book you are reading. I don't want any of this tracking for myself. I have no problem with people opting in, but don't make this tracking inescapable.

A tracking free format would involve in you downloading the entire newspaper issue, then reading inside in ways of your own choosing.
Bounded rationality already exists as a concept in behavioral economics.
It's more like calling the police because a kid stole a berry from the neighbor's garden... except imagine that no matter how many berries the kid takes, there will be the same exact amount there... and the berry is in the nearby forest anyway because it's invasive like that... and someone is buying from the kid because they don't want to go to the forest themselves.
It's practically certain the major cost of a handheld speed camera is employing a hand. It doesn't have to be a lot more reliable/efficient to easily make up for the cost.
Firstly, I am interested to know your pain points in using GoodReads. What are the features you would add or change? For me it is simply user book reviews and summaries. My expectations are limited, so I don't see what you see.

I believe that Amazon owns GoodReads. There's a natural conflict of interest, but at the end of the day sales are sales.

Last I heard, commissions for Amazon affiliates were not only for the linked item. For example, if you link them to the book, but they go on to buy a toaster oven, you'll receive a commission for the entire purchase.

If you think more user engagement is necessary, that's fine. Strategies could be developed to drive more engagement.

If the problems you see in the site are shared by others, I think you could have something viable. Please don't let a can't-do attitude stop you from experimenting. Web development is an open landscape for adventurers.
I enjoy intentionally avoiding some uses of the chainsaw by instead piping into "while read -r", and hence getting a loop body with some room to manoeuvre.
UK too. I had to have a graphing programmable calculator for A levels in the 90s (16-18 year old). My college bulk bought them and sold them to us for a huge discount. I can't remember if they were sharp or casio. At the start of exams you had to erase the memory and show the invigilator.

Those things ate batteries!

If you hit them on the back the outside cover of the screen would pop off. I found drawing a graph on the back of the screen in dry wipe marker, and then popping it back in, was a hilarious trick. People would rub like mad thinking someone had drawn it in the permanent marker (I would leave a permanent marker next to it to help them get the idea).

I always messed around (or snoozed)in maths class, and still got an A. It was much later that I realised I actually had a learning difficulty...

I'm often hesitant to run stuff like this because there's a non-zero chance you'll lose important data or bork your OS install with a bad command or typo. I've considered writing an alias that dockerizes my current directory and opens a shell in the new container to test risky commands. Like a localhost staging environment.

That's not my argument, nice effort trying to use your powers of deduction, but I'd take it back to the supplier and tell them it's defective.

So should we give Team Total Landscaping all the time they'd like?

I would bet some money that there was at least 1 fraudulent vote during the whole election. I would bet more money that there weren't that many fraudulent votes that if they were cancelled it would flip the results and give Trump the win. Trump and Giuliani are screaming "massive fraud", which sounds like they have a good case, but they've shown up to the court empty handed. Some have argued "they're just preparing the very good case", geezus christ that's not how that works, and besides, their time is running out.

If a team of astrophycists from a famous university started screaming "Something's happened to the sun, it won't rise tomorrow", we'd pay attention. If we ask them to show us what data they have, but they refuse, and they just continue yelling shit, we'd start wondering if they're still sane. And if the sun rose tomorrow, we'd be more certain that they've lost the plot. Maybe they'd change their claims, still offering no proof, but if the sun still rose the next day...

If a group of homeless people claimed the same thing, we'd probably laugh and continue with our day. Sadly some people are being fooled by a bunch of "homeless" people, probably willingly because they can't admit to themselves that they've been fooled by conmen.

I've been thinking about this too. I think a subscription service could work, but have no idea how many would pay to escape Goodreads, or how much.
Well funnily enough you can actually get some heavily distorted but still intelligible audio out of an FM channel demodulating it as AM if you shift the frequency over off of the center of the channel and decrease the bandwidth to only get half of the FM bandwidth. First time I heard that while playing around with a SDR I was so confused as to how that was working.
Yes. I think so. Or maybe some correlation plots. I doubt that a proper EDA was performed pre-modelling.
Is there no way to write a DSL in Lisp for instance, and make code generation easier? That way it'd be more fun to program COBOL, no?

But I reckon the task is more code maintance and slight changes and less writing large amounts of code?
They’re probably using Amazon’s recommendation system which - at least in my experience - is pretty terrible with books. It might just be because I’m in the category of people who constantly get recommendations to buy things I’ve just bought and whatever puts me in that category stops them being able to make interesting recommendations, but it’s always pretty naff. I think the only good book recommendations I get from Amazon are authors I’ve specifically followed, or the monthly free early read choices which I don’t think are actually targeted at all
This has nothing to do with parrot. Every self respecting VM treats value types differently than reference types, and esp. objects. Ruby, Perl, Javascript, every lisp, lua... That's why they are all so much faster than python. Python made the weird/ insane decision to overload + for strings, so treating numbers as classes goes from there. It just cannot be fast then. But even most Common Lisp's treat every value as class, with an atom being a struct of class and value. So it can be made fast if you do it properly.

Lessons learned: Don't ever look at the python vm, if you want to look for a well designed VM. Even Ruby is miles better there.
Germany has plenty schools that use graphing/CAS calculators too. You typically borrow it from the school, so cost doesn't really matter.
Most people in the world do not have adequate furniture or well-built houses. If we provide people that by cutting down trees, at least that much carbon remains trapped in them. The new trees thus planted will suck up more carbon.

We've been doing the tree plantation thing right. Now, we just need to cut them down and put them to use.
It sounds like a cool idea, but I'm not convinced yet. Could you tell me more about the advantages that OSv has to offer over a stripped down Linux?
The speed limit is not a target.

Platitudes like this and the evergreen "speed kills" can themselves be dangerous.

Obviously driving at the speed limit all the time is not a legal requirement and there will be times when driving slower is appropriate. However, driving far slower than the speed limit for no good reason when there is other traffic around can itself increase the risk of something bad happening, because you won't be keeping up with the flow of traffic and behaving as other drivers will expect.
Should be interesting, designing modems is much more of a black art than designing processors.
My own experience is that it works quite well for a certain kind of person: on Reddit I was simultaneously subbed to /r/The_Donald, /r/politics, /r/ChapoTrapHouse, /r/Libertarian, etc (while those were still around). I'd also drop by voat occasionally to get my weekly sample of virulently antisemitic takes.

I think looking at extremes is the most realistic path. Purportedly balanced sources are dangerous because their bias is subtle; extreme sources typically have very clear bias that is easy to keep in mind as you. You can read many extreme sources and sort of take the intersection of what they show you to guess at some minimal amount of what must be really true.
Good Lord. That wishlist.

If only...

Maybe one day these things will be standard. We have to convince the mainstream these are goals worth pursuing... As long as most people accept how shit the status quo is, it won't improve.

I live and drive in Australia and find people polite and decent in all my commuting or country roadtrips. I swear it's improved over the years. There used to be more selfish driving, but there's always someone pausing to let you merge or flash you to continue if you both reach a narrow point.
It makes me really curious to know how they plan to monetise readng too. There’s no pricing or anything yet that I can see, but I wonder if that’s where they plan to go post-beta.

Pretty cool. I was not previously aware of USB "Smart Hubs."

However, I note that the last hub was shipped three years ago.

USB-C has completely changed the way that USB hubs operate.

Is this still viable?
Nanocurrency addresses these issues. There's still the cost of running the node for those that need it. Outside of that transactions are free and typically settle in about a second or less.

The KYC stuff is still there at the exchange level of course.

This one from David Skok covers metrics in general, prepayment also covered: https://www.forentrepreneurs.com/saas-metrics-2/
The point is that whilst the danger of a collision goes up as speed increases, you're not considering the context - the conditions. It is unquestionably more dangerous to drive past a school at 8:30am on a weekday at 30mph than it is to drive in that same area at 2am on a Monday morning at 35mph.

If we're talking about safety, then the speed limits should be to reflect conditions, but instead what happens is we cap the limit at the lowest value considering worst conditions.

Realistically the way we deal with this is through selective enforcement, the police probably aren't going to give you a ticket for 35 in a 30 at 2am on a monday morning, but it's silly to pretend that conditions don't matter.
The results remind me of wordtovec examples where the opposite of Hitler, -1*Hilter, is Plantar fascia.

Which is the total opposite but it might be perfect for not just getting out of an echo chamber but just entirely taking a break from the topics we obsess about.
I agree, the consumer has responsibility here, and leverage.

But that does not absolve the producer. They are still using ethically questionable methods.

The market doesn’t get to decide the rights and wrongs. It just allocates resources. That we have to do collectively if we want to call ourselves democratic.
Even better - in BASH and ZSH you can open up your preferred editor and compose a long command in that with "^x e" (or CTRL-x, e) - saving and closing will print the contents into your prompt, ready to be executed with an enter.
> and conversely a turing complete language that is pure (i.e. keep your tape private).

A Turing complete language can't be pure because there is no value that is equivalent to a nonterminating computation.
Actually this tool seems to solve that problem by showing you multiple books, and not just direct opposites in terms of content. If you don't believe me search for 'Mein Kampf' and something similar, it doesn't spit out books you would consider opponents of Hitler's worldview necessarily.

Now whether the books it spits out are even going to help you break out of your worldview, who knows, but I'm sure reading Shakespeare is going to loosen up a fascist to other ideas at least a little bit.
The set of people who just cut away additional diodes under the theory that would unlock further features has minimal overlap with the set who can DIY replace that diode for $0.15.

> I think it might be a good idea to restrict such devices to people with amateur radio licenses

Am a Canadian HAM, and also the owner of multiple transmit-capable SDRs. While I don't disagree with you on principle, one tricky part with that is that the majority of my usage of these devices has been commercial. Requiring an amateur license to do commercial work is kind of the opposite of how the system is supposed to work (i.e. no commercial activity on the HAM bands).

The real saving grace for the transmit-capable SDRs is that they're generally quite low power. I think the most powerful one I have can do... 100mW? Sure, you could be disruptive with that, but it's not going to go very far.
Transistors generally can't switch significant currents effectively. Also, they can't latch.
ClickHouse lol, that database blows my fucking mind
This happened to my friend in the US. He presented evidence for why it was impossible for the officer to actually measure his speed from where the officer was and where they said he was at the time of measurement (around a corner I believe). The judge simply asked the officer if the device was calibrated, to which he replied 'yes', and my friend was deemed guilty.
Ironically you can pretty much only get caught by the irregular ones if you’re on a quiet road too - otherwise someone will flash you as you approach to let you know. At least in some places anyway.
amd64 is the correct term. It's amd's instruction set; they were the first to do it. The BSDs call it amd64, it's only Linux being the odd

Amazon used skytel pagers for oncall notifications until very recently. I had one in 2014.
"The law requires anyone registering a new company to disclose the name, address and date of birth of the real owners, and an identification number for each owner, such as a driver’s license or passport number. Corporations and LLCs that already existed before the law’s adoption must disclose their ownership information to the Treasury Department within two years.
[...]
The Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network will collect the data and provide ownership details to law-enforcement agencies and banks upon request.

The legislation has limitations. The general public won’t have access to the ownership data, a disappointment to anti-corruption campaigners, who say public scrutiny would help combat criminal activity.

Bullock, the Delaware secretary of state, said these limits on access to the data were one reason the state supported the legislation."

Aaron Swartz actually built the original version of the Open Library site.
I think the goal shouldn’t be a social network, but just shared libraries with markup. Like an infinite hallway with doors that each open to the library of every person. I use goodreads for tracking my library and browsing others libraries.

I think a site trying to make me “interact daily” about books would suck. But I do want a way to use reading and collection information of others to help me pick my own books.
It depends on what you do with the content: if you're just using it for yourself and can afford it to break at random times, scrapping can be fine (although maybe still more time-consuming depending on the website).

But if you need predictability and reliability (e.g. you're providing a service to other people) for whatever you implement using this 3rd party service you don't control, relying on their ui that they can break any time they feel like it will lead to more downtime than APIs for which you're usually given some notice before they're deprecated.

There is no better way against fingerprinting than disabling js, you might be in a very tiny group, but tons of tracking scripts will fail to work, which means you will traceable by less parties.

If a website forces me to use js in order to use it, I will question it, 98% of them is not worth it in my case.

Remember js was invented to add websites dynamism, not to serve for surveillance capitalism. (Okay, Big corporations was involved in creation of js, but that does not constitute every action they take)
