>1) If they’re a local small business (eg. Restaurant, flower shop) or solo creative business like a photographer or videographer, just do Squarespace. Wordpress is way too complex for their needs and they will easily shoot themselves in the foot.

This (with a slight modification).

I built websites back in the Web 1.0 days. I know how to use HTML, CSS and a bit of javascript. When I needed to build a "brochure" site for my professional services business, I could have done it from scratch, I could have waded into the convoluted and plug-in dependent mess that is WP, or I could go to a simple tool like Squarespace or Wix. I am capable of learning anything I needed, but the real question is: when I need to update a page, do I want to relearn all that stuff I forgot because it isn't my day job?

When comparing Squarespace to Wix, I realized that Squarespace doesn't have backup and restore capability. That is a mindblowingly huge hole to me. So I went with Wix. Yes, I am "locked in" to Wix. If I wanted to go to another solution, I could pay someone pennies to replicate my existing site.

Contrast to my experience with WP. I inherited a WP site with the non-profit I work with. I ended up getting them to pay godaddy to manage the site and the SSL because I don't have the time to deal with it. I dread the day when the next WP upgrade breaks the janky WSIWG plug-in (elementor I think), which already doesn't work properly on one of the pages, so I have to edit the HTML. As soon as our long contract with godaddy expires, I am paying someone to replicate the site in Wix.

Like you pointed out in #3 above, I guess there are some applicable use cases for WP, but anyone who doesn't need more than a brochure site is ill served by that choice.

This is a yearly ritual for my family on Comcast/Xfinity. The promotional offer ends, you call and say you want to cancel, get sent to customer retention, and re-up on the promo. I'm pretty sure they know the game since it's so common.
> So I tried to teach critical thinking to random people on Twitter

Everyone everywhere on the internet thinks that the "other side" lacks critical thinking skills. I'm not surprised your effort failed, I'm sure if you offered to teach me critical thinking skills I'd wonder who the heck you thought you were.

Frankly your confidence in your own impeccable critical thinking skills cast doubts. The smartest people are those who know they can be deceived. If you don't have the humility to check your own reasoning then you are probably wrong about something.
Mitsubishi has heat pumps that maintain 100% heating capacity down to 23℉ (-5℃), and 76% down to -13℉ (-25℃). Fujitsu has similar technology.
It was probably intended; I mistook the headline as a fast-track for 'Blue tick/checkmark' service. Regardless, it is not aimed at people like me, who are ambivalent about Twitter.

I haven't tweeted a single thing from my vintage account, and have no (zero) followers. It is basically a read-only account. Not only that, but I try not to follow any more than 100 accounts, which is still a lot! If curated properly, you can stumble upon interesting and thought-provoking interactions, interspersed with churlish and toxic behaviour -- some of which is fairly easy to identify, albeit hard to ignore. In general, it is theatre mixed with rapid insult delivery mechanism, which I find amusing, and prefer not to read into too much, and/or have any desire to interact with.
I'd consider it a monolith considering most major news sources are owned by a handful of people. Vertical and horizontal integration across the board.

How does that come close to refuting the fact that using a Bitcoin miner as heating device also gives you Bitcoins, which the comment you replied to outlined?

I believe that's exactly the sort of need that Craigslist started to serve.
I guess the issue is keeping moderation consistent (like bar exam grading) coupled with a manageable size of community that handles scaling. I wonder if social media platforms could cluster 10-25 people together into "troops" with a "troop leader" and a "guidance counselor." This way, it's not just a sea of individuals floating along ephemerally disconnected, but brings some tribal belonging and support back that people yearn for.
* Is there a way to declare data layouts to have compatibility with C, similar to #[repr(C)] in rust?

Yes, and if you have a C header file, gcc can even translate most struct definitions for you. Here's an example of a "thin" binding generated that way: https://github.com/JeremyGrosser/notcursesada/blob/master/sr...

* Is there a way to catch C++ exceptions?

Yes. https://www.adacore.com/gems/gem-114-ada-and-c-exceptions

* Is there a way to catch C longjmps()?

By default, the GNAT runtime uses setjmp/longjmp to implement exceptions. I'm not sure how you'd connect that to a C library's setjmp though.

* Is there a way to have some kind of custom control over ABI issues, e.g. define custom FFIs to langauges with a different ABI? Or anything close to this? For that matter, does any language have something like this or does it not make sense?

ABIs are selected with the Convention aspect. Conventions are implementation defined and would require patches to the compiler to add new ones. GNAT currently supports Assembler, C, CPP, COBOL, and Fortran calling conventions.
This is how Apollo, the arguably best app for Reddit on iOS monetises.
The tyranny of the rocket equation isn't some fixed property of orbital mechanics, it's a limitation of our method for converting energy from chemical propellants to propulsion. Specific impulse for nuclear rockets designed decades ago (i.e. nuclear lightbulb) is in the thousands, which is enough to reach orbit in a single stage without dumping extraneous mass.

The original Alcubierre drive required the energy equivalent of the mass of Jupiter to create the warp field, with an impossible shortcut in the form of exotic particles with negative mass. The sun burns loses about 6x10^9 kg of mass a second which is the upper limit for the amount of energy a Type I civilization can extract in our solar system. Jupiter's mass is roughly 2x10^27 kg, so assuming there are 4x10^11 stars in our galaxy and our star represents the average, a Type II civilization in our galaxy wouldn't have enough energy to produce a warp field. The drive doesn't just need a little bit of working mass to expel, it needs enough energy/mass to bend space time around it!
Control: the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events.

You don't think communication influences or directs people's behavior?
Yet there are many differences between the folk spreading information online and the folks you encounter in the pub: the former will often posture themselves as an authority, while the latter you may know well enough to trust or distrust their authority on a particular topic. When people seek authority online, they are typically seeking someone who they agree with. While authority may be found in a pub, it is not really a place where one seeks it.

All of this makes educating people in venues like Twitter (and some of these exist outside of the online world) a very difficult prospect.
More "independence and freedom" is just an illusion. She's simply a slave to the desires of men looking at her body. Only a secular capitalistic society can believe that any good can come out of it.

It's a straw man because no one brought up the issue of "selling your body doing back breaking work", or whether that is acceptable or not.
OS's defining the "standard" is very much a 1990s thing; at this point libraries and languages are much more relevant to standardizing things. If you're writing rust, or ruby, or javascript, or C#, or python, or whatever, you're going to be using what your language ecosystem provides you. OS libraries are usually only relevant to C developers writing something low level, and usually they need to write a lot of wrappers and #ifdefs to handle every platforms quirks anyway.
As opposed to storing it?
Fibe is an umbrella marketing term. In my neighborhood, they offer FFTN then copper , a few blocks away it's FTTH (speedtest at 900M down 800M up). In both case they call the service Fibe and charge a similar price .

Laundering is needed if you want to (enable the people you trade with to) ever spend the black-market money on white-market goods.

Without that, your trading partner ends up holding a "dirty" wallet — just as if you gave them a suitcase full of marked bills.

That wallet still holds value — all dirty money does — but it's a lot less value than cleaned money.

Databases of stolen credit card numbers sell for not-much money. It's not just because you need stuff set up to drain the cards; it's because the money you drain from the cards is dirty. The dirty money is worth only about as much as the database itself. It's when you clean it that it attains "face value."
I don't think there's much to be learned from SA in this context. It existed during a different time of the internet, when cultural capital and honestly just raw power were allocated differently.

It existed into the "modern" era of rage engagement, influencers, clickbait etc, but I would consider its "flourishing" to have ended well before that.
Isn't H1-B a program for foreign workers, not entrepreneurs? Everything you listed (education,salary,job location,etc) has to do with workers, not entrepreneurs.
I kinda understand them. I love Twitter but I have had a period of time where I fell out of love. For me, the 'algo' is poor and tends to promote the 'wrong' content, rather than informative and meaningful posts. Once start following the right people, the value you can get out is incredible. If you follow political or even brands/celebrities, you are going to have a bad time. At that point Twitter is used as nothing more than a way for those to promote themselves.

Follow positive, talented and creative folk, they will provide value back.

I don't know enough to think that violation of causality is not possible. It just just seems very unlikely. I can't imagine how the world would look like if it wasn't the case because of the paradoxes it would imply.

You seem to imply that you think differently. Care to elaborate?
Most carriers don't have hard 10-20Gb data caps anymore, and the fixed 5G services that are rolling out from T-Mobile and Verizon don't either. That data cap thing was very 2015, and I haven't seen one other than a tethering cap for a while...
Depends on the compiler/interpreter. Function body could be parsed/evaled after the initial function definition.
Would be way more profitable if they figured out some way to re-sell what electricity they stole...
I have a T-Mobile unlimited 5G data plan. Not exactly inexpensive, but whenever my Wifi acts up, I simply turn it off and barely notice.

So no one knows anything, no one can teach, and no one can learn? That's just nihilism.
Most of the point is removing round trips from setup. SCTP doesn't do that.
Most intellectual? Maybe if your niche is very narrowly focused like "string theory" or something technical like that.

SPARK2014 is just a tool (gnatprove), which you don't distribute to others (would be rather pointless). Compiling can be done with gnat from your Linux distro, which usually has the Runtime Library Exception.
I had a similar experience with Spectrum. They offered a faster service at a cheaper price, but said they couldn't upgrade me because I was an old account from the Time Warner merger. It took a while, but I was able to get them to switch me to the faster, cheaper service. Then after a year my price went way up again, and since I have no other options at my home in Brooklyn I'm stuck paying $80/month for 200 Mbps.

All these mergers have been awful for consumers in the telecom space. My relatives in Europe are always shocked at how expensive service is for such mediocre setups.
The ACLU is such a propaganda organization. You can tell from the emails they wanted to get involved purely to drive divide & conquer political strategies during the Trump presidency.
The people who pay you typically wants you to develop software though, so it is in their interest to try to make you as productive as possible. But of course it is in your interest to keep them happy so they keep giving you money, you don't care if you deliver good software or not as long as they are happy with you.

The wired ISP market in the US is the exact opposite of "free market". It's government enforced monopolies, or in the better cases, duopolies. The point to it as a failing of the free market is to misunderstand how regulation and free markets work.

Didn't Valve make millions from hats[1] in TF2? Selling cosmetic items is way more egalitarian and less "pay-to-win". Would you want Twitter to charge $3 a month for an edit button?

I've seen a large scale Mako codebase and the amount of business logic that had sneaked into the templates was horrifying - really made me double-down on my preference for limited template languages that help people avoid that temptation.

I helped design Django's template language and I now think we took keeping it restrictive a bit too far though - these days I prefer working with Jinja because it has better support for complex expressions and lets you call functions within your templates. That does mean it requires a bit more discipline to use responsibly though, but being able to control which functions are exposed to the template context helps a lot there.
Ah ok, I misunderstood your point then. I had seen other discussions on HN about UBI and people proclaiming that it should be ok if people don't want to work at all
I am vaguely familiar with Light Table and Eve (coincidentally my college roommate grew up with Chris but I don't know him personally). It's been awhile but my recollection is Light Table/Eve had a more targeted set of selling points -- a killer IDE with some slick features I hadn't seen before and then a new language designed to be written as prose.

Regarding Beads: time travel is definitely a cool feature. Most languages have some kind of step debugger but the experience can often be improved. Having a built in graph DB could be an interesting selling point too. I'd love to see a quick example of what having a graph DB built into the language enables. For instance, this post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27315018 cites a Neo4j demo that, in a few lines of code, shows me something their product does "better" than SQL. I would love to see, on the Beads front page, a small (5 lines max?) code blurb that shows me something Beads can do harder, better, faster, stronger (or whatever ;) ) than other languages. I don't quite know what that is, but I imagine the author has some thoughts :).

I think what's really interesting about this that most readers seem to overlook is the claims about subluminal warp drive, which is practically realizable in a way that the science-fictional faster-than-light case is not
Yes, the "PhD's are smart" trope doesn't give enough air to smart non-phd's. But I think, at least around here, equivalent experience is just as useful as a PhD, but PhD's have the benefit of being extremely vocal / public about their experience in the form of state-sponsored projects and publications.

I would suggest that your own rapidly crumbling opinion of academia is probably not endemic. The top universities still produce top-tier R&D, and top-tier candidates that go on to do top-tier work for large and small companies.

It's definitely ok and understandable that some (or even many) people would feel differently, but my own opinion (coming from a mid-tier school) is that my training was absolutely of inestimable benefit to my job prospects, and was 100% enabling of my current career in robotics R&D. And I'm guessing that getting admitted to MIT would, without fail, make anyone happy in the entire world. (Though I didn't go to MIT obv)
It must be speculative, that's the entire purpose of associating with such groups and using them as political ammunition. Doesn't stop these people from throwing them under the bus later, if the bet doesn't pan out.
But if you're going to use the FSF version, why not use fsf/distro binaries? Getting the source from Ada core still leaves you without the runtime exception? (Ada core is upstream/newer, fsf is downstream, lagging a bit behind Ada core(?)).

It will literally be international news (in crypto circles) when a transaction like that gets mined.

People frantically contact all the mining pools to see who mined it and if they will return the funds to the sending address.

This has happened many times and they usually do return it, because people have nearly universal consensus that it was a mistake.

Kind of not a great way because it is too conspicuous.

There was one time this happened that was interesting and intended to be conspicuous:

Some hackers got access to an exchange, but the exchange had some pretty good security and would not let them withdraw large amounts, but the hackers could set the transaction fee. So they started burning all the exchange's money by distributing them to miners with this high transaction fee, to let the exchange know they were serious and needed their demands met.

Could they have coordinated with a miner and nobody would be the wiser? Sure.
Do you have a recommendation for a good source to go to for making this leap?

That was exactly my motivation of asking this question. If you have a substantial disposable income available year-on-year, you have the option to decide whether to just pay-off your mortgage and then work in something of high personal value, but potentially with lower pay closer to the median. This will still leave you with considerable disposable income compared to your median-income peers at that point.

Alternatively, so I thought, high earners could continue to optimize for high pay to afford more luxuries.

My expectation was then that a considerable amount of high-earners would choose to trade income with work they value personally. Triggering social mobility by allowing someone else to take their place.

Reading these threads, I am thinking now that maybe this is not so much relevant. If it is true, as others have suggested, that high-earners have more chances to get into positions that are well paid almost by default, than the choice for high earners is not between high income or valuable work. They can do both, because even when they start working for an NGO or take government position, their income would be expected to be high.

"Never read the comments" is common advice for a reason, and it has nothing to do specifically with Twitter.
In regards to the Federal Reserve page, it seems disingenuous to lump so many different people into “Other.” Even if there’s no mal-intent, it seems it could cause one to wonder if there’s a motive behind doing so.
