What's cynical about that?

That sounds great. To me its no different than having a development goal to coincide with a trade show or any other festival. I would be open to celebrating it, its not like the CCP is going away just because it doesn't match the ideology I was raised with, or that I'm predominantly exposed to a small number of things I disagree with and little of the majority of other things it does which are completely benign or favorable. Sounds like it will be an awesome party.
The supply of a stock in itself is meaningless, the only point of a stock is its USD value representation. In the case of a mass sell-off, sure, the same amount of stocks exist, but its monetary value sinks. Hence the market cap goes up in smoke.

This is also why a fraction of a market cap (say a few billion) can dramatically move a stock price of a 1 trillion market cap.

Same for Bitcoin. If its market price crashes, the same amount of Bitcoin exists. Yet this means nothing as only the BTCUSD pair is worth anything.
For the issue with the state attorneys, why is the "delay" pertinent? Is there some rule that if the states don't expect a merger to present an issue, but it then does proceed to present an issue despite expectations, that because they failed to correctly predict the future they no longer can do anything? Or is this only because their powers are limited to merger assenting and not anything further with respect to monopolies? (Obviously irrespective of the other arguments.)
There's no need to imagine other dimensions, Sweden and numerous US states which did not lock down allow us to make at least a ballpark guess as to how different the outcome would have been in terms of deaths from Covid. North Dakota vs South Dakota is a particularly apples-for-apples comparison. Even adjusting for the greater population density of some of the lockdown states & countries, it's not a massive difference.
Games are only firm real-time, but the developers deserve respect for the response time. 1000/125 = respond in 8ms. Many games run at 144FPS (monitor resolution), or every 7ms.
Who is this "we" you speak of? Joking, mostly, but webmentions are still a thing and getting a touch more popular in some of my circles. I know not everyone liked them even back when they were new, but -- with the proviso that they need to be checked for spam just like conventional comments -- I generally found them to be have a better signal-to-noise ratio than all but the rarest (and usually most actively moderated!) comment sections. The effort in setting up a blog capable of receiving pingbacks/webmentions isn't that high, but it's higher than drive-by trolls and cranks are likely to want to put in.
While I agree that large firms often collude, we do have laws against that in the U.S. In fact, I believe FAANG has gotten into trouble before for collusion on hiring practices. But those are different laws than the ones against monopolies.

I would not be totally surprised to hear that, for example, Google and Facebook collude on advertising, but I'm not at this point totally convinced of it either.
Even more common:

* Your meeting is scheduled for 2pm tomorrow.

* Oh oh! Your meeting got bumped to the next day.

* Daylight savings switched overnight.

Some things are measured in relative time. Some things are measured in absolute time. Never confuse the two in your database.
It's a self perpetuating problem, though. The first people to migrate to new platforms are the first ones who got dejected from YouTube, and then the inner circle at Wikipedia label the platforms as "far right" in order to scare off the rest of society.

In the case of BitChute, I think it'd merely be funny if RWW and possibly some other left-leaning channels decided to post there just to stick it to Google. Otherwise it's both a dumpster fire in terms of content and what they offer technologically speaking. They've made tons of promises over the years and never delivered. (it used to use WebTorrent, and they promised streaming years ago and that never happened either)
Perhaps, but this is exactly the behavior of Facebook Container.
Agreed. I am a Mint user and I couldn't be happier.
I switched around one year and a half ago because I was concerned about the constant data transfer (increasingly harder to deactivate) between my devices and Apple/MS. I was also sick of seeing unwanted ads and notifications both in Windows and Mac.
I think what they mean is that https://github.com/abbbi/nullfsvfs is a Linux kernel module. Still I don’t know why they bring that up as it’s still true as the parent to that comment said, that it collided with the name in FreeBSD. But I don’t think name collisions matter anyway either, except in the case of trademarks.
Is it perhaps you since instagram is showing you a lot of ads, your just skipping the ones you don't care for and finding ones you like. Thus you are under the impression instagram ads are interesting. Or perhaps they're using the facebook data to feed you ads. You don't have to give facebook much, it can make a lot of assumptions based on your network.

In the early days of facebook, they sent me an email to join with 20 people I might know. I knew 19 of them. I have no illusions , facebook knows a ton about me. Even without a profile.

I found the ads on instagram quite intrusive and not relivant (they're the same size as a post), but that's just me ( I don't have a facebook so they can't correlate). I also find quite a few news sites almost unreadable with all the ads.
A better DOM. I know this topic is mostly about data transfer, but I'm going to complain about web UI standards. For many uses, a state-ful coordinate-based UI standard is needed. It's why PDF's proliferate: DOM can't faithfully reproduce documents in a WYSIWYG way. It's not practical for every document/content author to become a "semantic auto-flow" layout expert: the learning curve to do semantic right is too damned long. We could have things like interactive flow-charts and ERD diagrams with our favorite GUI widgets in them if we had a decent state-ful coordinate standard (and maybe the "missing" GUI idioms like combo boxes, tabs, editable grids, MDI, drop-down menus, etc. Reinventing them in JavaScript has proven a mess.)
Low-barrier comment sections promote low-effort comments. The thing about writing and posting your own comments on your own blog is that it takes some effort, and that in itself is a filter for most insincere, seat-of-the-pants hot takes, drunkposting, etc.
I know. I recently closed a secondary account there, had to do it in person. Their attitude was "good riddance", they truly do not want my money.
> The bias is against hate-speech

What exactly is hate speech? There are some people out there who think stating clear biological reality about a certain topic is the most vile hate speech imaginable, yet others would call that same behavior stating clear scientific fact.

Or better yet. Have you ever played the “______ is racist” game? Search literally any noun and “is racist” in a search engine and you’ll find references to virtually every human activity being called racist at some point or another: including gardening, hiking, and milk.

If anything can be labeled as hateful when convenient, the conditions for honest discourse online seem to become impossible.
So it implies the crypto maximalist takes on true trustlessness are not proving workable. At least in practice with lots of real users.

It’d be weird that the preeminent anti-trust academic just accepted a position as the head of the FTC with bipartisan if they didn’t intend to pursue antitrust. It’d be weird to offer it, and a bad decision she chose to accept it.

Would it be better if google/youtube didn't correct its mistakes?
I don’t any longer. My mom needed something more powerful than a Chromebook and she wanted Microsoft Office.

I solved the security side of things by locking down the system and giving her access to a non-admin account.

I removed access to IE and Edge, added Firefox with uBlock and Bitwarden, and removed the ability to add/remove add-ons.

I added ClamAV to scan Outlook attachments and scheduled weekly scans just in case.

No complaints or security incidents for about a year now.

I documented the process of doing this here https://noteaureus.org/post/tutorials/sysadmin/win4unsavvy/
I wonder if that's the case... I'd consider myself an extrovert, but when I'm alone I don't really feel drained or anything, just kind of at peace and doing my thing. And when I'm with others I just get extra excited and motivated, I guess I do need other people once in a while to tell about what I've been doing or working on "when alone" to keep myself motivated, but that's about it, I never really get a feeling of exhaustion or needing to "recharge".
For what it's worth, google search understands the /r/ part of the URL as well, e.g. site:reddit.com/r/linux . It still gets the time of posting completely wrong, though...

To make this more ergonomic, you can add the URL as a search engine with a keyword, e.g.

URL: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site:reddit.com+%s

Keyword: red

In Firefox you most likely want to use a bookmark with a keyword instead of their new search engine crap.
Serious question - do you really think the team of engineers who designed these bridges aren't aware of the existence of solar radiation or climate on planet earth?
This is brilliant stuff, and has held up very well. The PRAM model seems a little dated by modern standards (it doesn't accurately model actual any parallel computer we'd want to build today), but the insight that there is a lot of parallelism and a lot of flexibility about how to extract that parallelism remains solid. Prefix sum (or parallel scan) is one of the core algorithms that works well on GPU.

Another great thing about this work is showing how flexible the generalizations of "sum" can be. A lot of problems can be restated in terms of an associative operator, and doing so unlocks all that parallel goodness.
yup, they brought a weak case against the giant, should have prepared better.
Look outside of US and you'll know why.
This sounds like a great case for a decentralized web infrastructure like Mastodon uses. Each cat server can be exactly as reliable as the owner feels like making it, and each user can choose a cat server based on their needs, and the whole thing is federated because it's based on open source and open standards.

p2p cats for teh win
Darn, it actually works! Thank you a lot for the mention.
And the point of this is to be able to close high-risk at-grade crossings of the line, especially those with relatively poor sight lines or where the necessity to maintain sufficient sight lines is an impediment to increasing the line speed.
I had a good stint quitting for a few months, but the stress of work got to me and I picked back up trying to take the edge off after work.
Hmm, I wouldn't assume the goal here is censorship resistance (esp given IPFS+ENS already fits that niche better). Looks to me like someone in the ecosystem is seeing the recent massive speed up to IPNS publishing (launched last week) and testing the waters on whether an "IPNS+DNS as a service" site would be useful to the folks that host dweb sites on IPFS.
When lockdown started, I was barely not overweight but now I am officially overweight. People still call me skinny. It is crazy how our perception of normal has changed.
> i'm uncomfortable with the guidelines for that responsibility being decided upon by a third party corporation rather than a state/country level government regulator.

I share your discomfort, but I'm even more uncomfortable with government doing it. At least Youtube has a few alternatives. My national government? Not so much. (I mean, yeah, but I have to leave the country to get them...)
Is it because no one is trying? Or has there been no progress on labor rights in politics for other reasons?

(My money is it's other reasons, and thus the idea of "we must pressure our political leaders! is just a feel good thing we tell ourselves because the truth is very unpleasant to acknowledge)
Not when people are punished as a result of them. It's fine to make a generalization that works on average for some low stakes, benign decision, but when it materially affects real people, it is not right to generalize. This is the core argument imo against algorithmic decision making of this kind.
Agree, but, the power to choose what you want to watch, the breadth of ideas allowed, and the accessibility for almost any content creator is a vast improvement over TV, IMHO.
I'm confused. Why are low interest rates required for stablecoins to work? If anything, for centralized stablecoins, high interest rates would mean more revenue for the corporation holding the assets.
Who were the victims with wirecard?

How would you know who to sue? It's not as if 4chan lists real name and address. Past efforts to sue people based on IP address information haven't exactly gone well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_group_efforts_against_fi...

Google has a lot of information on monetized YouTube accounts, as that's a fairly involved process.
Um, did you post this in the right place? It doesn't seem related to the discussion here...

If you’re parsing human readable strings to determine a datetime in your codebase you messed up somewhere. The user should select a datetime with a picker that uses a calendar and dropdown menus (no freeform text input). Everywhere from then on in your code you should pass it around using some standard, either as a UNIX timestamp or ISO8601.

google doesn’t publish their rules. you didn’t understand a single thing written in the user’s comment you replied to.
I believe that was the point being made in the comment:

"...competitors could differentiate themselves by providing better moderation policies and whenever some popular account got banned from YouTube that would generate a lot of traffic for alternatives"
Hey YouTube, our carboncopiesorg channel was taken down without any warning
When Google first announced their metrics, people showed how most Google sites failed pretty hard.
There's an enormous difference between "not having bet on something" (inaction) and "selling an already acquired asset" (action).
In my experience it has relatively poor adhesion and flakes easily.
Google search feature gives wrong guidance on UK self-isolation rules
And is the same model used by many 'early access' titles, pay less up front for the incomplete game to fund the completion of the future full-price game.

Interestingly, I've seen some devs turn the concept on its head and charge more up front, kind of to say "only buy in now if you are really doing this to support development, and in return you'll get an early release build - but you aren't buying the game early."
Well you have a lot more to worry about in 10 years than blockchains getting hacked if you believe that.

The world will never be ready for the scenario that you're predicting in <=10 years. If you truly believe that timeline enough to bet money on it, you damn well should be burying gold, stocking up on canned goods, digging a well, and amassing a stockpile of firearms today. No sarcasm.
A standard, uniformly applied, is more likely to be removed (when its seen to be bad) than one inconsistently applied on the basis of ideology or public outcry.
OK, 12K years not ten. I wouldn't call that science- while observation and trial and error necessary, they aren't sufficient. What was done to turn teosinte into maize was more of... a large scale, long-term, unintentional engineering experiment.
Any mention of the Second HN in that foretelling?
But that's not how the decentralized ones work. They aren't relying on "a rapidly rising market cap". Most of the stablecoins are backed by volatile assets (ETH, BTC, etc), but have automated systems to liquidate the collateral when price drops occur.

The only real problem would be a very large drop in a very short period of time, and the big stablecoins already have already survived 50% drops in pretty short time spans.
A few sentence summary of the ruling: Be rigorous. Justify your claims. Don't get carried away by political motives. Law trumps over politics.
The list of things that have failed due to "solar radiation or climate" includes many structures designed by engineers.
> A. Even if true, that is still a price worth paying to avoid having a central arbiter of truth that political factions can fight over and eventually control.

"The rise of neo-Nazism and other forms of militant, hard-right reactionary ideology, as well as vaccine deniers, and the hundreds of thousands of lives they have provably cost us, are a price worth paying to make sure that no one can tell me I can't post whatever videos I want on a privately-owned video hosting site."
This is a great effort and I am glad that there are fledgling steps towards gradual acceptance of Telegram as a platfrom here. Plus, some services/bots being built over.
Yes, timezones do not at all work with reservations for physical objects.

I work on a registration and reservation system for rowing boats in my rowing club
https://github.com/dsroklub/roprotokol

The only time that matters is whatever the clock in the clubhouse shows (Danish time)
If you sign out a boat from the UK (or more realistically from a laptop that thinks it is in the UK) at 14:00 it is still 14:00 Danish time. This is surprisingly difficult to achieve with JS Date object, browsers and popular JS components.

So the Temporal Plain time looks promising.

And especially the explicit timezones. Because even without timezone you need to handle DST.
For example my system needs to know that if you start a 3 hour trip at midnight a certain day in the spring, you are expected back at 04:00.

I just hope that browsers and components will support is properly.
You don't have to be an oracle, this discussion is happening a decade later.
Google cannot categorically ignore copyright claims without opening themselves up to potential legal liability. If you've made a hundred bogus copyright complaints to Google and they cut off your access, and you send in another complaint, they still have to either A) shove it into a DMCA safe-harbor exception, or B) risk knowingly continuing to violate your copyright. Option B is straight up not happening when the risk is that high, not without expensive lawyers reviewing the situation.

There isn't and will never be a "strikes" system for false copyright claims.
It has to be seen to be believed. I used to play a game of trying to guess the gripe or dispute unfolding based on the article, but was always surprised when I reached the footer at the level of idiocy. I generally suspected that a good deal of it was agitators associated with the two major parties, acting as random people and trying to start/steer conversation to maintain talking points. Either way, I've never seen a single comment or discussion worth reading at all on something like Adelaide Now/The Advertiser. Quite the achievement.
There is no substitute for hard work
the rules might also say that excuse only works when a system that checks the doors confirms that the building wasn’t accessible. saying I couldn’t access the building with zero proof (a picture) could lead to a review later on where the termination happens for lying. it doesn’t have to be 100% automated and even if it was, they could automate out liars eventually.
> The surveillance part still creeps me the hell out, but if they're gonna do it anyway they might as well use that data to benefit my life.

This is such a defeatist narrative, and it isn't even accurate. They in fact don't have your data, that is half why they run these services. Each service you don't use is another piece of you they don't have. It isn't an all or nothing proposition. Throwing up your hands and granting them powers they don't have short circuits the more meaningful deliberation of "is this service worth the cost?"

If I had to guess, I might say that these companies enjoy the strong men we have built them into, because people give in.
OP here, if you've got any pull at Google/Youtube and can help get our nonprofit's channel (with all our original content) back, we'd be most grateful.

Apple's products are widely imitated. By controlling leaks, they give themselves a head start in the market before new innovations are copied.

New iPhone models are largely predictable and incremental. However, Apple is involved in a number of other markets -- some of which essentially don't exist yet.
Again, the opportunity cost of buying a pizza with that USD instead of buying BTC would be exactly the same.

Ugh, most people stopped focusing critical attention on Kanye's work because Kendrick gives the public what Kanye promised.

No one is upset by Kanye's contradictions. They're upset with his opportunism. Ye rapped on Pusha T's latest that MAGA Hats let him slide past police officers who would otherwise stop him for D.W.B. That's not the flex he thinks it is. You don't invoke historic struggles against oppression selectively and then brag that doing so affords you special treatment.

Ye used to rap about working at the Gap and experiencing the indignities of tokenism -- now he's totally fine with fronting for any politicians whatsoever if it gets him access to capital. You don't get to don the aesthetics of a movement that was built on the backs and souls of millions of people working to better align the country's institutions with the dream of equality, only then to turn around and politically endorse all of that movement's sworn enemies because they have "dragon energy."

Look, some people are innovators in one historic moment, the product of a special set of forces and a unique upbringing, and then find themselves out of touch with the next historic moment. What worked in the 'aughts doesn't work now. I'm glad Kanye sampled a bunch of old stuff that no one else would have brought to the fore. I appreciate that I'm familiar with both Gil-Scott Heron and King Crimson's catalogues. I appreciate that Otis Redding and Curtis Mayfield are more popular today than they ever would have been without Kanye. I'm even glad Kirk Franklin has yet another tie to popular culture. But that's about as far as it should go.
The domestic porn industry on the web is facing a lot growing pains right now. PornHub, arguably the poster child for "doing it right," was forced to remove all unverified user-uploaded videos last year[0].

Porn on YouTube cannot exist, legally, in the same way your ideal scenario implies.

No, these are very much for rural applications, hence why they don't need to include any provision for ramps or lifts (which most new crossings must), given the paths they connect are themselves typically at best a mud track (and often just a scarcely marked crossing of grazing land).
