Categorically yes, but the connotation is that it's still possible for the vast majority of people to get rid of Facebook and still lead a satisfying life. I can buy this. I can reason that it's likely true from e.g. the hedonic setpoint. There are a lot of people that were happy before Facebook and will be happy after Facebook is gone.

Facebook is only ~15 years old and it deals mostly with aggregating text-based communications from people that feel the compulsion to post almost entirely because it's there. And they don't need Facebook, they just need the functions it provides; there was a time when these functions would have been split up into separate services until they were acquihired or integrated.

And although Facebook is monolithic, its monopoly is primarily enforced by network effects and conventions. Shit happens, like stock rallies or privacy scares. Facebook might still be around but the exodus of e.g. WhatsApp to Signal still shows the power of close substitutes to challenge what is "necessary".

There's also nothing fallacious in your counterargument. Both cars and industrial farming are being challenged in their own right. Cars for issues behind pollution and sprawl (resulting in ride-sharing, electric cars and transit) and industrial farming for its ethics and chemical impact on the environment (organic food, veganism, greater awareness of bioaccumulation of pesticides and microplastics). In educated circles these have become widely considered as Good Things, but would involve challenging the assumption that things we take for granted as necessary are actually so. That's just progress.

> if we sent women to war, we wouldn't have any children. Any nation that did that was wiped off the face of the earth rather quickly.

If gender rolls were reversed wouldn’t be many examples where the death toll was high enough for this to occur.

In Britain in the 1921 census there were 1,209 single women aged 25 to 29 for every 1,000 men. In 1931 50% were still single, and 35% of them did not marry while still able to bear children.

After the war there were about 40% fewer single French men for every unmarried woman, compared to before.

Devastating loses but nowhere near enough to threaten the existence of a country.
Post WW2 Germany and Russia would also be grim examples. It is of note that the 20th century was the first time that deaths from actual enemy action exceeded deaths from disease during war.

There are facts. Like: "My laptop will not run indefinitely without power". Right?
You had me at Brian Kernighan's interview. I don't think I have met a more modest man.

Once upon a time I had my open cube just behind his open cube. I had no idea who he was and his modesty certainly did not make it any easier. Once he had got locked out of the floor and I had to let him in. Its only after that I came to notice his name tag
Audi and Porsche contract Bose for the sound system. The decision is usually based on usually industry alliances, not necessarily the cheapest. The German automakers also have a stake in Here Maps, that's why you'll se it on their vehicles. If they don't have a stake they'll usually pick a German company or buy shares in one.
One worry I have is regarding poorly handled legislation hobbling national companies more than intended and driving consumers to worse options (as opposed to just preventing them from doing creepy things.) One of the prime examples here is search: if Google didn't keep a history of my search terms and/or other data about my account, the results they'd return would be far less personalized. I could (and do) use DuckDuckGo instead, but the search results are far less convenient (e.g. when I look up "compilation", DDG shows me literary compilations, Google shows me code-related things).

This in itself is fine, as long as either:
1. The drop in convenience isn't so high that people would prefer an alternative service
2. We can impose these rules worldwide.

If the drop in convenience isn't too bad, then even though there's a little more friction, there's not a mass exodus from these services. If we could impose these rules worldwide, that'd also make this an easy decision.

Given that the web is global, however, my biggest area of worry is that we squeeze all national companies to protect privacy, but it turns out the consumers really did like the personalized and convenient experiences and immediately switch over to Baidu or some other site that falls outside national jurisdiction and personalizes user experience well (presumably through even stronger privacy invasions).

tl;dr: I am cool with legislation, but given the global scale of the web we need to make sure we get the incentives/changes just right.
Thanks for trying to map to analogy.

I think the newsworthy piece would be if the religious cultists were going to every party trying to recruit, or there was something special about hn_throwaway that the cultists targeted.

The school newspaper writes an article about the party. The article doesn’t answer this question or even indicate whether they tried. So there’s no real reason to report on this other than to link the cultists and hn_throwaway. Actually, the reason is that more students will read the article trying to learn about this cultist thing and hn_throwaway’s recent activity that made them popular among kids.
My understanding is that this leads to short interest greater than 100% but not more shares traded than float as there is still just one share.

In your example Alice doesn't own the share at this point, she owns an agreement that says she will be returned a share in the future and is paid interest on it in the meantime.
This advice is fine for programming languages, but not for data stores. Using them incorrectly (or in MongoDB's case and sometimes MySQL's, correctly) could lead to things like data loss or crashed servers. Simply building your product on one of them is not proof they are good enough.
I feel like this would be the one legitimate criticism of Section 230, but I don't really know how you would "solve" this problem. Maybe a DMCA-esque system for defamation, but on the other hand I feel like that's also ripe for abuse and would hamper online anonymous speech. Is it fair use to post a picture of someone if the text accompanying that picture is libel?

Yea. If your friends will abandon you just because you’re not on social media anymore, then I have bad news for you: they probably aren’t really your friends. When I ditched Facebook about 10 years ago, I lost contact with a whole bunch of people who weren't really part of my life anyway, they were simply "names I recognized."

My social life actually got better after dropping social media simply because I'm spending less time scrolling in front of a screen.
Interview with Wilson Miner
That's all well and good, but does anyone believe that this won't be a broken feature?

Edit: Also, I am absolutely positive that some of my family will agree because they'll think FB would not work correctly (update their feed) otherwise.
Then finish it and just keep it as a backup? Sure that will cost some more money but redundancy always costs money. Maybe especially if most of the money has already been spend - if you abandon it now, you get nothing for all the money, if you spent a bit more, you get some redundancy. And if more gas is not needed to begin with, then it should not really matter whether it gets finished or not. On the other hand I have no idea what value such redundancy would have, maybe it is not worth it. And that is probably all a bit naive, I did not follow this issue.
I don't think you need Google to be a gazelle. They just need to clean the elephant's cage every once in a while. Hell, maybe let the gentle giant back out instead of forcing it to walk in a giant treadmill cranking out profits.

(Do I win worst analogy of the year award?)

The past 7 years or so has been year after year of trying to milk as much profit out of what was arguably the best, most exciting internet success stories ever. It's just sad.

Apple seems to be milking their cash cow as well, but at least they are still managing to crank out some fantastic projects to drive growth and interest.
> Even Apple, which IMO has a track record of longer support, has done it with Apple TV recently...

This caught my eye because I'm not sure what you mean here -- AFAIK, the current "tvOS" release runs on all Apple TVs released from late 2015 on, and they kept updating the 3rd generation model that came out in early 2012 up to 2019. This still seems to be a pretty good track record, all things considered. (There's a pretty huge CPU jump between the 3rd generation and 4th generation, including a move from 32-bit to 64-bit.)

Unrelatedly, though,

> I want a dumb TV with good HDMI and other specs, to which I can connect whatever display device I want (or many).

I would have loved to have found one of those that also met the 4K HDR requirement I'd set to upgrade from my blissfully dumb plasma set. I'm not unhappy with my my LG OLED by any stretch, but it would be really damn nice if there was a "turn all of WebOS off and just be a TV set" feature.
Maybe it is better to sue Apple instead, for allowing such apps - they claim they have "strict guidelines" and review all apps before accepting them .... If many developers around the world start doing this, it becomes a PR issue and costs them money too in legal fees ... may even force them to fix the issue.

What exactly is the difference between authenic and inauthentic speech and who is doing the labeling? What is stopping an "authenic" source from taking money to launder authenticity?

The term 'Authenic' is often used as a deep well of bullshit to arbitrarily filter ingroups and outgroups with about as coherent logic as middle school students deciding what is cool.

You did not label your axes either :)

In your left-handed (?) coordinate system, Y is up, and X is right.

Another labeling comes more naturally to me: a right-handed coordinate system where Z is up. That swaps Z and Y relatives to yours (thus changes handedness), and left me really puzzled over your labels.
Yes, curiosity about the world around you is infectious. I watched a few videos of Takada and they are really intriguing.
I’ve been fine with KeePassXC, mainly because the file format is just AES encrypted xml. Sure, they could have still done something nonstandard and potentially dangerous, but with all the other clients people make I would expect that to get exposed reasonably quick.

I've heard of true mainframe (ie. s/360, not that minicomputer nonsense that people call mainframes for some reason) systems that'll compile the code to run just in time on the equivalent of an API call. Sort of like if lambdas would run CI jobs for the code to execute first if they hadn't run since the code was last updated.
Are you a designer?

If you want your document to look the same on all systems create an image.
Good luck calling your "rep" at nearly any commercial software supplier and explaining you're using a decade-old version of their software a year past its EOL date and would they kindly provide you support.

It doesn't matter whether it's open source or not, there has to be a line on these things, and there's been more than enough time given here.

You may already be aware, but just in case ...

The BBC adaptation you watched was the third format - before that there were the books, and before that was the radio show, where Douglas Adams wrote the script often on the same day as the voice actors were due to record it.

The radio show precedes the books and, personally, I feel is better. If you want a written version, books of the scripts are available, and well worth getting if you're a fan. Not just for the scripts themselves, but also for the extra info before each episode which provides backstory.
Interesting. Do you have any good links?
This results in a similar situation to GME where the short interest is > 100%. WSB wants to be Charlie. They want to hold the share that Bob is legally obligated to buy and can't purchase anywhere else. They can then demand whatever price they want for it.
It doesn't guarantee that it's occurring, but it's strong indicator that something sketchy is happening.

In this case, the important point is that a hedge fund with a 140% short position is more vulnerable to loss than a hedge fund with a 100% short position.
It is literally happening right now. The people who have demanded that everybody switch to python3 instead of simply forking python have proven the FUD true.

Feel free to reply on thread with any questions
Tuition in France is relatively low if you’re native, (which is one awesome feature of the French state)... if you’re an international student it’s a lot more, and other countries also are a lot more.

University of Cambridge in the UK for example estimates on their webpage £22k tuition for an undergraduate arts degree (double for medicine!) and £11k living expenses annually. With GBP/WUR exchange rate that’s €1550 on living expenses alone, and not “glam”.

https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/international-stud...

INSEAD costs in France is almost double in living costs in Fontainebleau , and 3x in tuition... now admittedly a far more exclusive graduate school, but I have acquaintances in Canada that weren’t rich but really good students that got in and took out loans... the point is more about the living expense estimates :

https://www.insead.edu/master-programmes/mba/financing

For locals i am sure tuition is far lower but if you’re living away from home the living estimates above don’t seem too far off what I’ve seen.. though I’m sure many can scrape by on less.
There is real humans behind every software, I don't understand the logic here.
mongo-express maybe?

https://github.com/mongo-express/mongo-express

But if couchDB works, it works. Personally I'd love to shoehorn LISP into everything I do, but most of the time I just use python and bash because things tend to get done faster when I do.
The use of the term “denormalized” suggests to me that it was a query that involved a lot of joins. Which is certainly something that could have been otherwise addressed with a different design.

Comparing fetching from a normalized design to a denormalized one isn’t really a fair comparison.
Ultimate-64: Heir of the Commodore 64
"Ultimate 64
What is it?! This board is a hardware implementation (FPGA) of the entire C64, and it includes the Ultimate-II+ as well. An ALL IN ONE solution!"
Your post implies that there is no tool on earth that "sucks" and that it's not the tool, it's the person.

It's impossible for EVERY tool to be good. This isn't reality. There has to be tools that are patently bad to use and people have used these bad tools to build great things. But it doesn't change the fact that a tool can be horrible to use.

I would argue that at the time the article was written, Mongo was definitively a bad tool. Things have changed, but not all things.
With the new "spaCy project" it's easy to generate the boilerplate for many spaCy related projects, including a FastAPI app to serve models.

But apart from that, there's actually not really much to integrate, as it all just works.

Both libraries are actually (well ) designed to be decoupled. So that you can mix them independently with anything else.

Note: I'm the creator of FastAPI, and also a developer at Explosion (spaCy's home).
I remember the good, ol' days when you were on a kiteboarding site and the ads were for kiteboarding equipment and not for more toasters after I just bought one. I don't mind ads in the old style but I seriously resent the current state.
Your comment is one of the reasons I read the comments before the articles, so yes.
I have to say, hermeneutics is something our western culture has become catastrophically bad at. When the failure of postmodernism became apparent (truths unfortunately must be shared to take any corporate action in society), we seem to have reverted directly back into a Nietzschian nihilism, every group only exists as a means to power. This has begun to erode traditional modernist western ideals which the postmodernists seemed to allow: offensive speech isn't necessarily wrong, interpretation and truth are two sides to the same coin, etc.

Yep, that's me, I work at Explosion (spaCy's home)!
>Several brokerages (Fidelity, Vanguard) did not limit trading of GME in any way during high volatility last week, despite DTCC/NSCC's risk model calling for 100% collateral on GME for a duration of time.

Maybe because those brokerages don't have a high concentration of wsb users, unlike robinhood or webbull?
Yeah! You'll connect your bank account and do some security verification. Once approved you can buy whatever you want.

Although depends on what you mean by traditional trading. If you want see details charts and create market orders or limits, things like that, then you'll want Coinbase Pro.

Coinbase is great for easy buying and then holding there in your wallet. You can either leave your coins on Coinbase or transfer out to a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor. If you go the hardware route, stay away from Ledger. Pretty solid wallet but the handling of their customer data break was pretty unfortunate.

Why would anyone agree to this?

Because the opt-out is hidden under the third pane behind the per party 1 by 1 drop-downs of the opt-outs for "legitimate interests", in a list of 120 "vendors" that require individual sub-pane drop downs and a radio button all having an "agree to selected" button that will immediately negate all your previous selections and just blast you to the content as if you "agreed to all".
