THIS. There's technical fixes and then there's systemic fixes. Technical fixes are bandaids.
I saw a few repetitive patterns: something resembling the overlapping petals of a pine cone, and a bunch of cells vaguely similar to a Voronoi diagram. They didn't last long, were faint and transient.

I get much more vivid visuals with my eyes closed.
I can't help but be reminded that zero trust architecture for security has been a thing for at least a decade, and that the 2004 Jericho Forum concluded that perimeter security was illusory, more akin to a picket fence than a wall.
This is a serious problem imo. Not sure how to fix it if you say you are less censored than YouTube (or any widely known tech company) “libertarians” and right wingers flock there and before long it becomes 4chan meets (YouTube, Twitter, Reddit) thus no one wants to visit and it becomes a loop/downward spiral.
From prospectus -" For many, Duolingo has become synonymous with language learning: for example, on Google, people search the term “Duolingo” nine times more often than “learn Spanish.”

I would imagine the sum of "Learn <any language>" would exceed searches for Duolingo - do they really think it has become genetic like Kleenex?
> that doesn't mean you did anything wrong, and even if you did, doesn't mean that you singularly caused my suicide.

I means, if you kept saying what he did was wrong, that what he did pushed multiple people to suicide in the past, and that you went as far as offering your life saving in hope to make it stop.... and he kept going... I kind of think he did something wrong and he is responsible.

Once you are aware of how you hurt someone, and you keep doing it knowing that... well yeah you are responsible for that damage, even if in other cases it doesn't hurt.

All of this is way beyond that too. Theses kinds of forums dehumanize people, and that's where it goes too far. Sure Near could have avoided KiwiFarms, but once someone has been dehumanized, once he is no longer someone, but just a joke, it's easy to keep going once you are outside of there. Maybe a huge majority of the members keep it on the forum only (doubt it, but possible), but for sure a some use that as fuel to keep going.

What about all the doxing too? I have an hard time seeing how you could justify that.
Walmart insulin is not lispro/glargine, it is R/N, which is a different formulation. Treatment of type 1 with R/N is associated with significantly higher mortality, A1C, and complication risk, and, of course, much lower quality of life.

Bear in mind: when you mis-dose insulin, your blood turns into acid.

No endocrinologist would ever recommend treatment with older insulins over the new stuff. The only way it happens is because of cost.
there's a significant difference between "allow denser construction" and "deliberately ratchet up the pain for drivers each year". a city that's genuinely designed for pedestrians sounds great! having my commute to work be even worse for n years until public transit reaches viability doesn't sound so great.
The biggest culprits are Dodge and Ford for putting out massively overpowered 5, 6 and even 700 horse powered super vehicles with exhaust that can be set up to make excessive volumes of noise bypassing or even removing mufflers to make the car even more ridiculous. This may be a southern phenom since I live in Atlanta many of my neighbors have been complaining about late night road racing and other stupid crap like 100s of ATVs running the streets in gangs. Check it out https://youtu.be/xlJAySvoH9M and https://www.cbs46.com/news/caught-on-camera-swarm-of-atv-dir....

> > Or it is protestant work ethic overgeneralized

> The Protestant view

While the “Protestant work ethic” concept holds that the ethic it describes is a consequence of certain Protestant (more specifically, Calvinist) beliefs, it does not intend to describe a general “Protestant view”.

Not all motorbikes are loud, just the ones owned by creatures that apparently still need to mark their territory acoustically.
Maybe the reason for the large number of cases in the US is people are more mobile in the US. After all, one can travel to 50 states with no border checks. More mobility => faster spread.
yeah, we need to make this kind of data harvesting 100% illegal, and then, tada, no catch 22 to deal with! it’s a non-sequitur to negotiate how much data can be collected and stored by random third parties. the answer should be an unequivocal “none”. then as a nice byproduct, we wouldn’t have stupid equifax mass data leaks every other month.
Does a good actor actually have a way to prove they are legit?

This comment is a little pointless because almost anything that need your data needs you to trust them.
"Share your presentation using Outlook and notice the cohesive interface which helps you stay in the flow." Do these people speak English?

All seriousness aside, I can think of a few things that would IMNSHO improve Office:

1) Make the title bar change color depending on whether the application has keyboard focus, so I can stop accidentally deleting things because I forgot Outlook/ Word/ Excel etc. had focus.

2) Get rid of the "backstage" distinction. I may need to refer to something on the "front stage" when using the "back stage", like the text of my document when I'm saving it for the first time. I can't do that now because of the "back stage", and the isolation of that "stage" does not help at all.

3) Give me back the menu system as an option. I STILL hate the Ribbon. Ok, I know you don't listen to users like me, so I know you won't do that. But at least allow me to hide the ribbon completely, like I could when it first came out. The ribbon has mostly commands that I don't need (can you say "Mailings"?), but when the ribbon goes into "reduced" mode it has even fewer commands that I need. In other words, it's useless, but it won't auto-hide.
Improve public transport then take away my car. But what they can do is get rid of all those useless, oversized, bloated SUV's. A car doesn't need to be a status symbol, and in approximately 99.99987% of use cases it does not need to be a Mercedes G-Wagen amg. (there are millions of drivers out there, so i'm not sure if i put in enough 9's)
You use public transport. Which implies huge infrastructure developments, of course.
This is mostly infeasible because the VM has no idea what's worth anything. There is no reasonable price in absolute terms for a BTC or ETH or DOGE or $DUMBCOIN.

The key is that the contracts need to be minimal and analyzable, so its ~100 lines of code you can manually analyze. Documented separately all the edge cases, or ideally removed through good design so they simply don't exist. A bunch of problems I've seen in the real world of crypto are annoying edge cases that you can fix with an if statement, or ideally change the design to remove them completely. It's actually a surprisingly hard space because you're trying to make terse, complete and secure code.

In normal web/systems programming you have layers of security; internal services, external services, firewalls, access controls, vpns, security by obscurity, etc etc etc. In crypto you have none of that. Everything is 100% public, the code probably should be published, or else it is trivially decompiled. If there is a problem someone will find it if there is value in finding it.
On the other hand, your objection is just an objection about standard economic pricing. "What if I want to fly first class every week? That's really expensive. Someone should make it cheaper for me."

I mean, I totally understand where you're coming from because it is very different from the current model where almost everything is free.

But at the end of the day if you're not willing to pay $100/month (which is less than many people pay for cable TV!) then maybe you don't really want to comment on that 100 blogs all that much
RWW themselves lead the charge when it comes to smearing Alt-Tech.

It would be extremely hypocritical of them.
> who knows intuitively this is wrong

I think you're vastly overestimating the average computer user here :) Most will make no meaningful distinction between a local account and an online one. If they could sign into Windows with their Facebook account they probably would.
True, if you smoke it can be as bad as cigarettes.

Similarly to cigarettes, if you vape cannabis the smell is much much much more tolerable, it doesn't linger and it's much reduced.

I have people vaping nicotine in my building and, sure, I'm not a fan of smelling vanilla or whatever flavour they're vaping today, but it doesn't last long and it doesn't linger.
Translate. But frankly I often still use UTC to coordinate with people, especially when coordinating meetings with people in 3 timezones.
This is not dodge and ford. People modify their cars to make them louder.
If you can find evidence that the consensus was reversed by uneducated outsiders going with their "gut feelings" rather than published scientific study, you would have a point here.

As it stands, I am very skeptical that you could find any such evidence.

The way to change consensus is evidence-based advocacy by experts, not idle speculation by the domain-uneducated.
Twitter has this problem too. I just accidentally got my account limited for 12h for mentionimg that somone else was making death threats. Apparently their algorithm isn't the best at telling the difference.

You got that wrong. The legislation prohibiting cannabis was unconstitutional.
That's much easier if you've spent enough time in the US and basically "sound white" (whatever that means) but don't look white.

But I imagine accent change could be another subject of a future deep learning project.
You could make a similar argument about playing loud music.

Apartments, HOAs and similar communities are free to specify community rules, expectations and consequences in a contract/lease. When a party breaks those conditions then allow the community to enforce the contractual remedies.

There is no reason to involve the state here to take away a person's life and liberty. Just allow people to interact (or not interact) voluntarily.
MicroStrategy is up over 13% today. So the market doesn’t care or they can afford to lose some more on their Bitcoin hedge.
18. I’m guessing GP was about the same age, give or take. Kind of like how SNL peaked when everyone was 16 and has been downhill ever since.
There is nothing besides OneRep or any agreements/contracts you have with OneRep that can answer that question for you.
I don't agree with the author on couple of aspects, it feels more like he had challenges rather than typical potential employee in a startup would.

It is important to talk to people who have had similar and different challenges to learn from their experiences, however unless you are pretty junior, you will likely need to network internally and externally anyway for good Mentorship even if your work at Big Co. While there might good people in your org, you may have better connect with someone you met in a meetup etc. You should find the best suited person for you organization shouldn't be a constraint.

Mentorship within the work environment can be overrated. It can become stiffing if the expectation is you follow some advise even if you think it is not best approach. If you don't have freedom to talk to people and decide your own path, it just another mechanism for supervision.

--

Depth versus breadth is matter of taste and preferences, some people really like to be broad and across different stacks, that is not inherently bad in itself. It also nothing to do with startup, you are going to be horizontal in any small company job versus specialized one at large company.

If you want to specialize narrowly then no small org startup or boutique firm is going to be suitable for you.
It seems inaccurate as well.

Is the judge a facebook user? How can we trust him to be impartial?
There are definitely degrees to this - engine noise, exhaust noise, tire noise, break noise, etc. Electric cars are very quiet. Motorcycles are usually the other end of the extreme in rattle-your-bones-loud (yeah I know people argue it’s safety).

Sensible regulation that affects all cars/motorcycles used in the city (not just new vehicles) would go a long way to improving quality of life for many many people.
Even at that speed the engine noise is still non-negligible.
We just need a standardized cat and picture thereof - perhaps even expand the standard to cover one of each breed.

Then you can have a local copy and be sure you have every standard cat in existence!
Thank you for the beautiful explanation! I understand now, and am kind of excited to try this out in my next gamejam.
I'm not sure about other areas if the world, but mass transit in the US isn't sufficient to fill the gap in the need to get people around with even minimal efficiency.
> I also don’t see why a judge wouldn’t accept something like “online communications platform” as being the right market in this case

Because lots of things that could be described as “online communication platforms” are probably fairly simply demonstrable to not participate in competitive substitution, and as such arr not direct contributors. I mean, HN is an online communications platform, and so is GMail, but if service on HN is bad, I don’t think people move from HN to Gmail.
Question: When asked to remember a person's face, can you see it in your head/"mind's eye"?

FWIW, I don't think the ability to visualize something specifically in your "mind's eye" has a lot to do with creativity.

I interpret this as more about direct recall of memory. The stronger the visuals the more likely you are to be able to recall a specific event/visual in more detail (whether it's accurate is up for debate).

Disclaimer, I have no idea what I'm talking about - I just like this subject.
Tor's hidden services and the Yggdrasil network are examples of decentralized alternatives to the DNS system.
When I lived near a busy roadway, the worst offenders by far were cars and motorbikes deliberately designed to be obnoxious. Regular traffic noise could be tuned out pretty easily, but then you'd get some jackass who deliberately removed their muffler revving their engine at midnight... Unfortunately people who do this are very rarely punished beyond maybe the occasional traffic ticket.
> ... why the FTC's complaint relied on establishing a monopoly; the Sherman Act doesn't actually require establishing a monopoly; anticompetitive conduct that attempts to establish a harmful monopoly is also illegal...

Antitrust guy here: this is exactly related to your first point. A monopoly in what market? This is the key issue. The market definition is not obvious to me. “Online communications platform” sounds reasonable to me but that could plausibly include email, so good luck arguing Facebook has a monopoly in that.

“Online communications, photo and personal news sharing” is another good potential market. That’s even wider so now facebooks share is smaller.

The other problem: where is the harm to consumers?? They get the product for free. This is not Standard Oil or AT&T back in the old days.

If it had been up to me I would not have let FB acquire Instagram or WhatsApp for anticompetitive reasons, but the other problem for the FTC here is that they themselves did ! And not that long ago either.

I could be wrong but I doubt this case will turn into a winner for the FTC in the end.
Harley style motorcycles take the cake though, "loud pipes" are such a thing in that part of motorcycle culture. I don't understand the aesthetic of trying to annoy everyone to such a degree, and I don't understand why it's not prosecuted at all.
Crap like this is why I dont run docker. I'm glad RedHat took a principled stance on it and dropped it. Podman doesn't punch holes you didn't ask for in your firewall. What a ludicrous anti-feature.
defense in depth is about as basic as it gets, even for generalists
Err, ok, so Dodge and Ford, and probably Chevrolet (can’t forget that Camaro), and Jaguar (who has become famous for their exhaust sounds in recent years), and Honda - that Type R is quite loud, let’s not forget BMW’s M series, and AMG, and, well, everyone.

It seems almost like the problem is that people like buying loud cars, rather than your assertion that 2 manufacturers are at fault for everything.

And something something ATVs (how does illegal ATV use equate to Ford’s complicity in loud cities?)…
But as the video states, 'rolling noise' becomes louder than ICE engine noise at 50km\h or higher. Tesla's driving by still make noise parting air and creating friction on the road.
Those benefits come at a cost, and you're only paying for some of it. If going downtown and parking there had a direct price in keeping with what it costs to supply, then you wouldn't be a parasite. Instead the costs are obfuscated and forced onto people.

If you're driving around somewhere that land is at less of a premium, have fun.
I would recommend against explicitly recommending voter fraud to people, regardless of the intent.
Totally but you can say that for a lot of laws that benefit a few rich companies. Politicians with zero accountability and a 5 years time span serve whoever pays more.
Electric cars didn't exist then.
> To be really good at anything means doing it a lot

is applicable to everyone.

> working smart is figuring out another way to do it that doesn't require skill

is applicable to the creative types. Ones who have the time and luxury to think and ponder, an increasingly difficult thing to do if you are economically dis-advantaged.

Doing smart work requires a lot of creative problem solving skills. And those skills are developed when there is a lot of input to the brain. And that requires a lot of time.

In the modern age, true poverty is the lack of time to sit and think.
with Instagram, I think the thought process is closer to: we can get a lot more data from them if we coerce them into logging in
> Weren't Woodward and Bernstein or Daniel ellsberg conspiracy theorists?

Not theorists. They researched and published actual conspiracies, based on government documentation.
It's not limited to Fords and Dodges. Hondas and Toyotas can be quite obnoxiously loud, also. About the ATV thing, there's a 2013 documentary in Baltimore, MD called "12 O'Clock Boys" [0].

Taking it up with the neighbors will work zero times out of zero. If you're lucky you'll get a brief reprieve, which will then slip back. This goes for most any annoying, persistent externality when living amongst piles of other people. Their habits and behaviors are not going to change voluntarily to please strangers, even if they initially make a small token gesture to be polite.

For anyone dealing with that situation, the only truly effective solution is to make sure the next time that you choose an apartment complex where the landlord does not allow smoking on the premises (whether tobacco or marijuana).

It doesn't sound like they are trying to sell or somehow leverage to make profit? I guess 'develop new NVIDIA offerings' is kind of vaguely suspicious but the rest doesn't seem onerous to me unless I'm missing something?
You don't need new laws to deal with corrupt business practices. The fact that cheap off-patent insulin isn't available in the US is clear proof that the pharmaceuticals are all colluding together to maintain high pricing. Otherwise free market forces would take over and someone would sell what the rest of the world gets, siphoning off sales from medical tourists going to Mexico and those who want off of expensive alternatives. Conveniently the FTC looks the other way. The American government in inaction.
Yer I think I have aphantasia too. I don't see images, but I feel like I can describe things which forms a picture that I can't see but I know.

Anyway, at the very start of my 10min of ganzflicker I think I could see some very faint "wireframe" lines of no shapes in particular (just like * patterns), but these went away after a minute or so, and then it was just flashing colours, but the colours kept changing, and they were mostly reds, pinks, blues, yellows. Rarely green.
Maybe you could look into that if you're curious about it instead of posting flamebait.
I hope Mr Bezos is fine if we replace the re-entry team of his spaceship with the Amazon Flex computer system. I'm sure he'll be fine if the system decides to terminate the reverse thrusters because he didn't earn a "great" rating for his re-entry vector switch flipping.

What's the difference? Is it that "deliberately ratchet up the pain for drivers each year" includes (malicious) intent, an overwrought exaggeration, a victim (gasp!), or a timeframe?

Or is the whole comparison really just not in good faith?
Relax, even the CCP pigs won't be so careless to leak a virus so dangerous. Its release were well planned and scheduled.
CCP is making a new more powerful virus in the mean time. As a tradition, they published paper about it in advance. Do not complain they gave no warnings when it finally got "leaked".
Yeah meant commercial trucks. Recent pickups aren’t that bad unless they have some horrible sport package or aftermarket exhaust.

It's not just about ads .. they can just show them to this visitor if it was. It's about targeted ads. They have slightly limited ability to target if the viewer doesn't sign in .. for which the viewer needs to accept their T&C .. which is needed for them so someone doesn't sue them for invading their privacy without their consent.

IANAL so I'm not sure whether such a suit will stand in any court.
Fair, there's next to nothing that's actually universal across all languages / cultures. I do always find the variations interesting though, thanks for the link!
Sounds like the actual problem is in how and where people are using those high powered engines, not the engine themselves. Those noises are actually part of the fun of ownership and a welcome symphony of sound among like-minded people in setting designed for it.
Somewhat unrelated but has anyone here experience fever dreams where you are surrounded by something you can't quite comprehend and can't do anything but try to comprehend it?

It's almost like a huge maze, grid, or some other pattern but painful to look at. The dream tends to be extremely unpleasant and usually returns after falling back asleep.
