People are already conditioned to need a web browser to view adult content, and if you are an adult content platform, your competitors are also missing from app store as well.

This doesn't work out the same for social media. Doubly so because a social media platform benefits from integrations like notifications which are missing from iOS Safari.

Making a handprint is totally natural. Making a negative of a handprint is absolutely not. Finding it in rock art across tens of thousands of years and tens of thousands of miles is proof of cultural elements being retained over unimaginable generations.

There are a also a set of about just 30-some abstract figures (zigzags, double crosses, etc.) that show up in rock art over many thousands of miles and tens of thousands of years.

And, a tool used by leatherworkers right up to the present, made from an animal's rib, is found in its exact form with the same wear pattern at Neanderthal sites from 50k years ago.

And, the story of the Pleiades as, exactly, seven sisters, with one now missing, is found from Africa to Australia. It was last recognizably seven stars over 40k years ago. It could have been seven geese, or seven islands, or seven pebbles, seven eyes, seven eggs, but it is always and only seven sisters. People must have brought the story with them out of Africa to all the places it lives on in today.
So your neighborhood got burned down by democrats? Link please, it must have been a huge news story.
Apple has only 16,000 engineers.

Landing a software engineering internship at Apple is extremely difficult. Landing a full time job as a software engineer at Apple is even more difficult.

The people we're talking about are a small caste of privileged individuals. Their salaries do not reflect the norm of othet software engineers in the US.
Yeah, but that's not happening here.

Notenik[0] is a FOSS native Mac app for note taking that I have benefited from tremendously.

It has a few UX quirks to it, but the developer is highly active, responsive and friendly. Its strengths lie in its scripting and templating features (check out the site for more info about them) that turn the app into something like a static site generator with a GUI.

and w/ everyone moving to gab and them seeming to have their ducks more in order in terms of scaling/moderation, i think unless he really wants to die on the hill to preserve whatever was going on w/ parler, they will just drop it lol.
If parler users believe it is important to them and to society as they say... what's the problem with just opening up a web browser and going to parler.com anyway? That's too big a burden for something so vitally important to it's users?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I get that there are issues with corporate monopoly control of communication. And there are some things that will only work well as an app, not as a web page. But... parler really isn't one of them? Oh no we have to go to a bookmark in a browser instead of having an app or even an icon on a homepage... seems like a weird complaint when they are also saying access to parler is so vitally important. What's the big deal? I mostly access facebook and twitter this way on my android phone already.
It's always too late to change the past, and never too late to change the future.
An absurd false equivalency. Trump lied to a crowd of people that the election was stolen, and directed them to "go to the capital" and "be strong", to attempt to overturn the legal results of a democratic election, and his supporters... did exactly that, and attempted to storm the capital, killing and brutalizing police officers and others, while he enjoyed watching it on TV, not telling his supporters to leave the until hours later, and still telling them "you are special, we love you". There is not a single example of any event at all comparable to that.
Interesting - thanks, I didn’t know that.

And they're just now getting around to saying "oh, yeah, some people are having a technical problem caused by the end of life of Adobe Flash," as if this were some kind of unexpected outage instead of a discontinuation that has been in the works for a decade. How embarrassing.
> According to a source with the Yang campaign, his revamped UBI plan would grant 500,000 New Yorkers in the greatest need an annual $2,000 - $5,000 through a program administered by the city’s Human Resources Administration, the same city agency that administers other benefits programs.

So it’s municipal-level welfare (means tested). Calling it scaled-back UBI is pretty disingenuous. Also, I wonder how well this works at the city level.

That's true if you ignore the videos that have been recently declassified and released by the US government and the assertions of former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who insists that the government has numerous photos and videos and is hiding them from the public.

Then you have the eyewitness testimony of numerous military officials who were in charge of our nuclear weapons arsenal. Are all of these guys (the ones who our government trusts to maintain and operate out most sensitive and powerful weapons) all lying and/or delusional?

And yet, in the Amazon suit, Amazon clearly says that Parler did not.

So, it's not "factually false". At best, it's up for a court of law to decide who is telling the truth.

But considering that it's trivial to show messages from Lin Wood, among others at the capital protests messages on parler calling for "appeals to violence" exactly in contradiction to your suggestion that there isn't... Well your argument doesn't appear supported by the facts.
There’s nothing that restricts AMD to compete solely using x86. I think they’re sitting on an ARM core design from the first Zen arch that they never released.
At least in the US, every major cell phone provider's plans include unlimited texting. So that's not really an issue here.
Parler was backed by very deep pockets with existing international connections. They could afford to purchase the necessary Russian friends to make this happen.
If you mean talk about if/how FB, Twitter etc should control speech on their platform, that has always been going on, and has nothing to do with the first amendment (Congress shall pass no law)

The Solid Project uses OpenID authentication (which is built on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol). The claim is that Solid uses OpenID to uniquely identify every single shared object in a Pod. OpenID is then responsible for the access control to Pod's resources. It is an interesting and intriguing enough of an idea which makes it worth investigating (even for curiosity-only purposes).
Shut the fuck up and do our job hasn't really worked well once the capitol was attacked, those people were organizing in public in many social media platforms (not just Parler!) and people working at those social media companies shut the fuck up and did their job. And then that happened.

Are you saying that staying silent is the answer once you have people organizing to take down the government? How will your business operate once the government is down?

Oh wow! If I want a more secure life, I'll just get a higher paying job. I didn't think of that before!
Hackable means I can run any software I want from any source without anyone's permission. My understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that starting with M1 macs, I now need apple's permission to distribute an app whether I use their store or not.

I've been wishing someone would make 'VC for non-profits'. It would essentially be a charity. Not a 'give money away' charity, just a 'below market rate returns' charity.

The point being to help finance someone making a self sustaining product.

So customers get a product, workers get a salary, 'investors' (doners really) break even.

I think you’re right that they’ll be around a while, but Microsoft (and Apple) were both saved by CEOs in fairly dramatic fashion.

I’d argue IBM largely is irrelevant today, but they technically still exist.

Google is lucky they have an ad monopoly because they don’t really have a coherent company vision, I wouldn’t buy their stock. They might get lucky with their deepmind purchase.

I don’t disagree with you, but if I was choosing companies in a strong position today it’d be Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft. I wouldn’t make a long term bet on Google or Intel.

Which is true but its also important to not jump the gun so people can give coherent arguments for/against currents events.

Take Amazon for example, there is significant internal pressure to run the company based on a specific set of (for lack of a better word) progressive values but at the same time there is also a big part of the company that is customer focused and puts themselves in their shoes to try and deliver results and the politics of the day is just noise to them. Who will win in a few years time ? Can't say and the future is still unwritten.

I'm sure it will vary within the building, but suggested positions can be cross-referenced with the actual content of the video, which should be easy to geolocate in many cases (any area that's normally accessible to the public has probably been photographed many times).
This is such a weird line of assertion that I wonder if you'd apply it in any other context.

The problem doesn't just exist for dedicated Parler die-hards. The problem exists for Parler trying to become a compelling platform at all among everyone else. And that problem exists for all Parler users including all the would-be users and all people trying to develop a following on Parler.

> Oh no we have to go to a bookmark in a browser instead of having an app or even an icon on a homepage

Sure, not a problem for Parler die-hards. Massive shortcoming for everyone else. iOS users can't even receive notifications from a website. Parler's target audience isn't just the people willing to jump through hoops. If you're someone trying to create content on Parler, your target audience isn't just people willing to remember to check their mobile browser every once in a while when every other app (incl Twitter) gives them real notifications.

You're saying that these obstacles either don't matter or they're inconsequential as long as your product is good, and you're sorely mistaken. You don't want to be lacking a notification system as a fledgling social media platform. Just consider how every time someone receives a "X replied to you" notification and returns to the app, how that enriches the entire platform.

Notion [0] and recently released Craft [1] are both good personal-wiki applications that support lots of content types directly (from images and videos, to even things like tables and kanban-style boards for Notion), and have good mobile solutions.

Unfortunately, both are proprietary solutions that require paid subscriptions for most of their features and their own special syncing software. Craft also only runs on Apple devices at the moment (they say they're working on a web app).

Wow, do you really believe that the Great Library of Alexandria is empty when the burning and the demolition happened? Its last recorded director was a scholar and mathematician Theon, father of famed female mathematician, astronomer and philosopher Hypatia. Hypatia a writer of 13 volumes Arithmetica (this probably where the "word" aritmetics came from) and a pagan was murdered by a Christian mob in 415 CE. Yes, why would an empty library has a director? Care to explain?

The Christian establishment in the antiquity and the middle age were so anti-knowledge that it was the opposite of Muslim empire at the time. The anti-knowledge behavior has been exposed by movement such as Renaissance (technology) and Protestant (religion). Do you know that by law at the time you cannot translate Bible to other local languages in many part of Europe until a few centuries back? Yes, that is the main reason you have the Protestant movement.

Regarding the effect the Toledo it is mentioned in the article by your own foremost Greek learning and manuscript expert in the so called pop science articles by Dr Columba Stewart and also other similar experts.

In the US, guidelines say people of average risk should have a colonoscopy every ten years, making your point even more salient. To give you an idea, regularly scheduled colonoscopy (ie every ten years unless higher risk) has a specificity of 86%, while stool tests performed annually are in the 90s (FIT is 96.4%, gFOBT is 92.5%)
Dropbox hasn't innovated in years and when they did they went into the wrong direction. I'm an existing subscriber for many years and will be dropping off when my subscription runs out in May. For an app that does one thing and one thing only, they sure are sloooooow in developing something. Case in point: Dropbox is still not native on ARM Mac. For god sake even Microsoft Office is and Adobe Lightroom. Not exactly small apps from small companies.

There's so much that could be done with storage. I have 50GB of images taken over the last 20 years. Do I really have to upload them to Dropbox file sync (I like to keep original files) AND to Apple/Google Photos just in order to be able to see them nicely on a mobile device. Yea the dropbox app kind of allows it, but it's a mediocre experience and not very fast either.
Dropbox dropped the end customer, but also didn't really get big in Enterprises (who often run a homogenous ecosystem, e.g. based on Microsoft or Google and thus just upgrade to Onedrive/Google Drive). So then... who is the core audience? Is it big enough? Is it served well with existing offerings?

Seriously. I laugh whenever someone cries about widespread censorship of the right. The most lucrative media career right now is to be an outspoken conservative. There are probably thousands of such pundits/journalists/analysts/bloggers/podcast hosts/commentators on pretty much every medium, and they all seem to be talking non-stop.

Similar to how every mainstream comedian is persecuted and telling "unfiltered" jokes that they supposedly aren't allowed to anymore, and they'll totally get into trouble for it later.
