Well it's dangerous to give people the tools to design themselves - it's a rare skill and very difficult to blend it all together into a cohesive community! I think many startups of the 2010s saw Myspace design as a disaster.

We're hoping that by having some default color palettes and some common patterns and fonts - as well as limits to paddings, margins and border sizes - that it helps people stay in the ballpark of what a Multiverse post looks like. (Kind of like how you can spot something made with LEGOs from a distance.)

But whatever - creating ugly things should be part of the world. Looking forward to the future of 'ugly', 'bad', 'shoddy' design on the Internet. <3

Because there's no room for a standard full-size keyboard, so they need to get creative in how to fit some keys or omit others. They also need to differentiate themselves, so they can't simply adopt a keyboard design from a competitor.

from article: "Jonathan Beale, Defence Correspondent

I am on board the warship, in the Black Sea.

The crew were already at action stations as they approached the southern tip of Russian occupied Crimea. Weapons systems on board the Royal Navy destroyer had already been loaded.

This would be a deliberate move to make a point to Russia. HMS Defender was going to sail within the 12 mile (19km) limit of Crimea's territorial waters. The captain insisted he was only seeking safe passage thorough an internationally recognised shipping lane."

Show HN: What to do if you find a malicious mail rule on Microsoft 365
The thing is as a user I want Apple to vet the software I use. I’m hiring them to do that for me. I don’t want Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc to be able to do an end run around App Store controls. If they moved to a ‘freedom store’ I’d probably have to use it and I’d lose the oversight Apple gives me.

Note to ‘freedom’ activists. Don’t tell me what I want. Leave iOS the way I want it. If you want a system that works they way Android does, use Android and leave me alone.
It's easy enough to have a scanner reject an invalid ballot and force you to fill out a new one. At least in NYC where I vote, you feed it into the scanner yourself.

And you've always been able to produce invalid ballots, like voting for two candidates when you're only allowed to pick one.

You're describing a UX problem which has UX solutions. It's not even remotely a justification for selecting a democratic procedure to express the will of the people.
I am certain they will be able to deploy that capital far more effectively than the government would and will create much more value to society.

My expectation is that we're going to move away from the hard link between data and UI some day.

Services will simply offer their data with an API (and micro-transactions to use it), and then 3rd parties will create UI's for each interface.

Tweets are a useful data type, but there's nothing about twitter's brand UI that is necessary.
That is a _rough_ way to live life, breaking down potential hobbies into “mathematical” ideas around probability to find a mate. I mean no disrespect, but that also sounds like a huge red flag in potential partners. “My only interests are optimizing the odds of finding a mate” is obviously not going to lead to an interesting and fulfilling life, both of which are usually important in and outside of relationships…

I'm talking about transfer in the other direction, or bidirectional one. Because people fill the infoboxes way more than they do Wikidata.
Wikidata statements are not binary, and values are not untyped. However, there is the concept of “simple statements”, especially in conjunction with the RDF exports (although not untyped, these data usually look like binary relations). Indeed, any statement can be annotated by a list of “qualifiers”, each of which can have zero or more values, can have references (which can have their own qualifiers)

As for types, “GlobeCoordinateValues”[0], i.e., locations, form one of the types allowed for values, and consist not only of two integers, but indeed of four distinct values: latitude, longitude, precision, and the reference globe, since Wikidata does not limit coordinates to the Earth. There is also no “massive proliferation”, the data model[1] knows 12 types[2], of which four are four different kinds of texts (untranslated, monolingual, multi-lingual, and list of multilingual texts).

Good discussion is give and take. There should be no competition, even if someone decides to bring up sports as an example.

Competing with freight at night isn’t necessarily so bad, if the trip benefits from being slow. For example the sleeper I usually take is around 7-8h if done as fast as possible, but that’s not the most convenient duration since you either leave very late or arrive too early. A few hours extra to make it 10 or 12 hours is perfect.

Thank you for that. But they have a ways to go to achieve actual equality:

Yes, but if you are paying them extra to specifically opt out of users' data being used for that purpose, it's extraordinarily unlikely that they are doing so anyway.

If they weren't paid a lot you wouldn't have a problem since these women would just go and work at McDonalds instead to earn their money.

And if they remain in poverty even when being paid a lot they either work very few hours or they spend it on luxury goods like clothes or trips.

Edit: Anyway, the argument isn't that prostitutes are victims because there is a lot of violence related to the profession. The argument is usually that it is inhumane to subject a woman to involuntary sex, so women accepting money to have sex they otherwise wouldn't is seen as a bad thing for the woman even under perfect conditions. That is the main argument why sex work should be illegal, everything else can be fixed but that can't ever be fixed no matter how much you improve surroundings. I don't agree with that view, but that is what you are up against.
They could keep the recordings and have someone verify whether the output is correct.
That is a really good question! Not sure if there's sufficient data. But what I'm certain of is that egg freezing can be so much cheaper.

For example, even today, it costs Facebook about 20k per employee per freezing cycle to offer this benefit, where's if you go direct, it can be 5k.

And this is without scale.
So Google taking data from sites and putting it on theirs is "stealing" but Brave doing that is different and Brave taking results from Google is considered "learning" or "training"? Hmm... I'm beginning to think people just hate Google because it's "cool" to have a negative opinion about it here.
There is a bimodal distribution of biological traits related to reproduction. Traditionally, women are defined as members of one of those clusters, the one whose members are generally able to give birth during some period of their lives. This doesn't mean that all members of the cluster can or have or will give birth, but nonetheless the clusters are fairly well-defined for nearly 100% of the population, with trans people being an exception.

Some of the more extreme trans activists seem to want to pretend that these clusters don't exist, which puts them at odds with reality.

Other seem to demand that the clusters shouldn't matter, which I find rather optimistic since they're relevant for reproduction.

Trans rights are a noble goal, but some of the statements made by trans activists are a bit out there.
I was very pleased with GoatCounter for my blog.

It's stupid-simple, just like my Hugo-based blog hosted on Github.

Because allowing billionaires to leverage public policy is a centralization of control. It gives single individuals too much sway. You rely on them being benevolent (they’re not) and deal with their idiosyncrasies (at best). It’s bad system design and it’s not democracy. It’s not even socialism, it’s an oligarchy.
The second talk is "Making a Platformer in NICO with Nim". NICO [0] is the Nim version of the PICO-8 [1] "fantasy console" framework (potentially faster because it uses a compiled language instead of LUA the PICO-8 is based on). Its focus is making simple games, which is a great way to learn a new language (wink wink)!

You're entitled to leave both the Kick Puppies and Trip Grandparents party off your ranking!

V321 is certainly more intuitive in the ratings (it's basically an upvote/downvote system) if not the counting, but it's still quite strategic. On the plus side, the most basic strategy of simply upvoting who you want to win and downvoting the candidates you hate ensures the most divisive candidates are removed from the pool and the obscure fringe candidates are unlikely to benefit, but there's a fair bit of juggling how many candidates to upvote or downvote depending on what you think of the candidates seen as most likely to win the final round

I poorly communicated the idea in that part of my comment to be honest, my apologies. It's currently a battery in the sense that it exports during the wet season and imports from VIC during the dry season. As mentioned, it'd be a "proper battery" where it can "charge" from renewables (or, dreadfully, fossil) with the link you and I provided in this subthread.

Hydro resources are an important component of future grids, as long duration battery storage is pricey (although short duration storage such as Tesla's install at the Hornsdale Power Reserve is critical for ancillary services like frequency response and synthetic inertia, to keep frequency and voltage within tolerances when a thermal generator trips or renewables drop offline).
No, we don't have any special design for our homes. It's just that we have lots of energy for our small country, all from our hydro plants and our volcanos, we have so much energy that we sell it to 6 more countries in the central America region.
But wouldn't you, in a 160-180cm bracket, for example, end up with nearly all players being 178-180cm? And then 158-160cm for the next one. Imagine what drama would happen if a promising teenage athlete would not stop growing at 159 and got 2 extra centimetres, for example: he would completely lose his shot to be a professional. People can adjust their weight with a diet, but they can't really change their height.
I also ran a war dialer I had downloaded off of a BBS. I woke up a lot of people. After some testing, I ran it only once overnight.

The next day we received at least three calls from people who were upset about being woken up. I placed the calls from our family phone number, so my mom answered them.

She mentioned these callers but I think she assumed they were confused or something. I did not explain my “experiment” and never got in trouble. But I did not war dial again.

It ran all night so I collected a fair amount of data but did absolutely nothing with it. I think I thought I would find some secret line to the White House.

Society got its revenge though. Due to spam and robocalls, all unknown calls go to silent for me now, I leave my voicemail “full” and POTS is rarely useful.

The Cult Deficit: Analysis and Speculation – Secretum Secretorum
You usually want to throw as slow a disc as you can get away with. This allows you throw more directly at the target and they don't skip as far when they land on a hard surface (of course sometimes you want that). Another benefit of slower discs is that they tend not to kick as much to the side if they hit a tree.
Fast drivers are best in an open area where accuracy isn't the main goal. They tend to be more forgiving when the throwers form is off which is harmful for someone who's still learning how to throw.
Rails by default monkey patches the entire ruby language, injects 400 methods on any single model, it creates an enormous amount of dynamic methods through metaprogramming and it monkey patches the loading of ruby files itself.

I'm a practicing Zen Buddhist, and the subject being discussed here definitely relates, including the Shelley quote someone put in this subthread. From https://www.lionsroar.com/what-are-the-four-noble-truths/ :

What are the four noble truths? Buddhism’s famed four truths are called noble because they liberate us from suffering. They are the Buddha’s basic teaching, encapsulating the entire Buddhist path.

1. Suffering

Life always involves suffering, in obvious and subtle forms. Even when things seem good, we always feel an undercurrent of anxiety and uncertainty inside.

2. The Cause of Suffering

The cause of suffering is craving and fundamental ignorance. We suffer because of our mistaken belief that we are a separate, independent, solid “I.” The painful and futile struggle to maintain this delusion of ego is known as samsara, or cyclic existence.

3. The End of Suffering

The good news is that our obscurations are temporary. They are like passing clouds that obscure the sun of our enlightened nature, which is always present. Therefore, suffering can end because our obscurations can be purified and awakened mind is always available to us.

4. The Path

By living ethically, practicing meditation, and developing wisdom, we can take exactly the same journey to enlightenment and freedom from suffering that the buddhas do. We too can wake up.
Crimea had a large Tatar minority until the Soviets deported them en masse. Crimea is still ethnically mixed.
> Approval voting has the best balance between simplicity, fairness, and certainty.

Approval voting is completely inappropriate for common situations in Europe, where you have center-right, center-left, far-right and far-left candidate (e.g. presidental elections in France). Reasonable people should approve both center candidates despite of strong political disagreement with the other side (but still beter than fascists or communists). That essetially eliminates information from them entering to voting (although finding balance between right and left is one of the most important aspect of elections).

But that assumes people would hold common good strategy and not defect to vote only for their preferred candidate (while risking that extermists win). As the side who first defects wins, it is likely that it will just degrade to plurality voting.
Nah, that's the British method. Just add milk :)

Is it possible that China sought to actively spread COVID (the virus, and the fear) throughout the world in late 2019/early 2020?

For example, allowing people to fly out of China freely, accelerating the departures of 10s of thousands of international students to leave in Jan 2020 instead of their academic schedules,

Deliberately obfuscating data about the true impact and spread of the virus,

And as such, hasn't it all gone according to plan?

- An anti-China American president is removed

- Authoritarianism, tyranny and centralised governance seems justified domestically and abroad

- All foreigners are ejected from China, and the borders are closed

- Trillions of bailout money to Western consumers boosts the value of Chinese-owned assets, and demand for Chinese goods

- China is presented as having an 'efficient' response to managing the outbreak

- Western societies are fundamentally weakened due to lockdowns
It is a fallacy to think it is enough to know how to research stuff. In order to ask helpful questions --- in order to think --- you need facts that you know already. Additionally, you have to train your brain, similar to a muscle in order to use it effectively. E.g. a novice in chess would represent some of the figure on the field in his head at one point in time. Every figure would fill one "slot" of his working memory, whereas a more advanced player might represent certain configurations of figures and their positions in one slot. Even more advanced players might hold trees of possible futures of the current field in one slot. In order to acquire that ability, you have to train your brain and fill it with some knowledge, be it personal experience or theoretical knowledge. Being allowed to Google during a Chess championship won't cut it.
I'm surprised they found no modems. I don't see any listed. I'm sure there are still modems on the telco system for things like maintenance lines. I've seen them before in data centers to get into the networking hardware if everything else is down, for SCADA systems, to support really old credit card terminals, etc.
Because elections and voting are trigger issues, it's a huge challenge.

Ages ago, before I burned out, Election Verification Network (EVN) was really good. Bringing together academics, activists, officials. Very low key, low profile. To avoid the outrage machine.

EVN mostly focused on gear and procedures. Not much overlap with adjacent topics.

I organized an every-partisan election integrity group for a while. We had some small local victories. (Prohibit putting serial number on paper ballot linked to voter ID. Delayed adoption of janky new gear.)

But drift into adjacent issues and coalitions fall apart. For instance: Voter registration databases. Correct answer is universal automatic voter registration where everyone is listed and has an eligibility flag, with audit history. But improving data quality is a no go because of misbelief that higher registration (and participation) has partisan advantage. (Spoiler: It doesn't.)

Another fundamental problem is being outside looking in. Asking the establishment to modify the very system that got them their power is really, really challenging. The vetocracy. That's why all these stupid obvious reforms with +70% support languish. Default answer is always "no", with demands for ever more ridiculous standards of proof, because reasons. This is a fundamental trait of all orgs, groups. Why would the public sphere be any different? Sadly, when change does finally happen, it's disruptive. Punctuated equilibrium vs slow and steady progress.
