If any of these conservative social media apps succeeds it'll be the one Trump jumps on. Given his nature, he is going to make sure to get very well compensated for picking the winner.
It's already happened. There is no hole to fill. 4chan adheres to the law, 8kun (formerly 8chan) does not. The users have already pushed free speech to its limit years ago.
I absolutely can not do 10 minutes. I can barely run for 2 minutes without gasping for breath. I’d wager a majority of Americans are in the same boat as me. The obesity epidemic here is real. This solution is not as universal as you may think.
How do you know they're lewd?

They don't look lewd to me, on the vice article. Most of them are sunbathing or just stock photos of a man in his underpants in the screenshots there.
The (2003-2021) in the title made me think that it was no longer the 'fastest shoelace' record holder and had now been beaten by another knot but fortunately I see that that is knot the case.
> I don't think the difference between 10 and 15 minutes is enough to cause a huge problem

"Charging" with gasoline is like 2 minutes.
With electricity AFAIR it is more like 30 minutes (in case of fast charger or longer in case of ordinary one).

The time difference is huge (e.g. if you travel with kids, every minute counts).

E.g. vacation travel in Poland from south to north (very popular during vacation) takes ~8h (depending where you start), during that time I need to tank gas twice, EV would need at least 2-4 times, this would increase travel time by 1-2h.
This is the dumbest thing I've ever read on HN.

You should see the anorexic-looking treadmill runners at my gym who have no muscle type IIB. I bet they already have cardiomyopathies / hypertrophies and will regret their extremist, extremely-unwise lifestyles when their joints need to be replaced in 20 years.
I think this has become an HN meme at this point. Every mental health post has a reply ala “Just lift bro”.
What I do is I take the first title then I make derivative titles based on the starting title. Like “write a story about cookies” then “write a story about chocolate chip titles”.
Not the GP, but I think the comment is akin to 'inertia is the competitor of everything.'
A nice tip I've learned is that if your common shoe knot tends to turn upward instead of laying flat, you just need to mirror the last steps of tying(like if your were tying someone else's shoe.) It looks funny and is annoying having your ankles tickled while working out or playing sports.

But the fastest and worst lace tie I believe are had with those old corkscrew shaped laces you just pulled to tighten.

I'm afraid I'm not following.

I believe this account of things is accurate (ignoring C++'s reference types for simplicity):

The C and C++ standards are written in such a way as to enable compilers to place constant data on read-only memory. Casting away constness is never illegal in and of itself, but if you do so and then assign to a variable which was declared as const, that is undefined behaviour.

Similarly, assigning into the character array of a string literal is undefined behaviour, whether or not const was used. Again that's to enable the compiler to make use of read-only memory.

Going in the other direction is safe, as preventing assignments doesn't introduce problems. That is to say, using a pointer-to-const type to point to a non-const variable poses no problem.

I think demographic skew is a stronger effect here than diversity per se. Oversimplifying a lot, if we imagine Twitter hires only left-leaning coders, and Parler hires only right-leaning ones, Twitter would have a larger pool to hire from. Doubly so in any coastal techy city. Diversity seems like it would be a second order effect here.
Not an expert but I expect most kids get their exercise through play, or maybe some team sports. I don't picture many kids readily swapping that for solitary running and bodyweight exercise.
A lot of negative responses here but my own experiences having graduated with an EE degree from an average university (in the UK) 3 years ago has been pretty good so far. I was able to get 3 internships at 3 different semiconductor companies throughout the course of my degree and got a job at another semiconductor company immediately after graduating doing digital chip design so I don't think the job market, at least in my niche, can be quite that bad. The pay is pretty good, well above average for a recent graduate in the low cost of living city I'm based in and a bit higher than my software engineering friends in the same city. Still considering maybe doing a masters in computer science to expand my career options though
Three reasons:

1) They don't get tech. They are luddites. IT came from the US and they regard it suspiciously because it causes disruption, while EU is all about preserving the status quo and old money. Europe does not appreciate new money, self-made businessmen and entrepreneurship.

2) The two-level government. It should work in theory (after all, EU representatives are directly elected) but in practice it just removes any responsibility from those bureaucrats.

3) West European countries are oriented to the past. They can't innovate and evolve. Their rules and regulations are simply meant to preserve that past and stave off the future bringing all these damn changes.

In the end, it's about control. EU is obsessed about controlling its people and is horrified by those it can't control. Because they bring change, something unacceptable to the good old boys of Europe...

1. They shut it down enough to prevent retail from FOMOing in more. At that point, the rules of the game were changed, and the price dropped.

2. I'm skeptical too, but there is no way the reported figures are accurate. Finra itself lists RC Ventures/Blackrock twice, and adds up to more than 100% for institutional investors. Information on Bloomberg terminals is completely wrong, and information on short positions is self reported.

I'm tempted to believe criand's latest DD, as it's yet to be disproven. Older DD has not stood the test of time so well.

In regards to qualifications, yes, the superstonk members are self policing, but also they don't accept that credentials mean you are automatically right, and people who are wrong are called out almost immediately.

There's not going to be a place where it says 'This stock is owned 290%', but then again, that's the nature of Russell's teapot. Given what I've seen with news coverage, the promotion of AMC as an alternative, and the passing of so many SEC rule changes, it's hard to imagine zero fuckery behind the scenes.
If your goal is a guaranteed exchange rate of one, then that seems to be almost the only way to do it and therefore ideal to reach that goal. Even in this case there is still some risk that you or your bank goes bankrupt but if you start investing the money of your users you either make some additional money for you - which your users probably do not care about much - or you lose some of their money. You would need an investment with less risk than holding cash in a bank account to improve the service for your users. And there is probably something to be said about negative interest rates which would obviously cause you some trouble.

OECD‑FAO Agricultural Outlook 2021‑2030 [pdf]
In Ontario, 6 successive government of all political stripes, one after another did nothing, leaving the grid burning coal and ng.

Plants planned and canceled, one mess up after another, again all political parties the same mess.

It is indeed easy, until it is time to execute. And it takes a decade at least, with zoning, environmental checks, just to get a plan planned and construction off the ground.

This means that everyone should already have new plants in the planning stages.

Not a report, but buying land, regulation hurdles, and when state owned, approved.

Does the UK already have 3 or 4 new plants in these initial stages?

And if so, how many may fall through?
> You seem to be suggesting we should just look past these risks and hope for the best.

Yep, you read that right. Maybe I am being too careless about my approach, but... think of it like a potential car wreck. If someone is stopped in front of me, I slam on the brakes, regardless of whether the guy behind me might rear-end me. We have to fix the problems in front of us, with the best knowledge and options we have available.

Certainly if we can also avoid negative consequences at the same time, yes, we should avoid them. No arguments there. But I'm not an expert in this field, so I trust the scientists who are experts and who are telling us this is our best move.

Social media has platformed many narcissists and psychopaths. They still pose considerable trouble and damage to individuals, even when actually skilled. It boils down to wether skills are all that should be valued in life, or not.

Making jokes and making people laugh is an old trick in the hustler and charmer book. But what is behind the façade? Even the life of a digital nomad, if it's staying in hotel rooms or living alone. Not a good life even for people on the spectrum.

Unfortunately people mix up these oppositional personality traits all the time.

So it would be ok with you if someone went to the beach, took pictures of women sunbathing, and posted them on Twitter without their permission?

Absurd.
Inheriting a house is inherited wealth, your baseline assumptions for wealth are completely divorced from reality.
Tucker Carlson can already barely hold advertisers and he has a massive platform on a pretty reputable network. Any social media site like this is going to be carlson++, so how will it ever stay afloat?
This is why extreme wealth inequality leads to wildly inefficient markets, and eventually the collapse of the market system entirely. If there exists an actor for whom the loss of money has no consequences, then the idea that the market represents an efficient allocation of resources does not hold; it is too distorted by their whims.
This is how the internet works now. If you ask a question its rare to get a good answer. If you post a faulty opinion as advice you're more likely get a good answer.
If you're deploying a REST API with authentication, caching and so on then the KISS solution is python with a framework (such as Django) in a docker container.

I've spent many many hours (years) trying nix, rust, Haskell, go, spring framework and all sorts of other things which are a lot of fun but not so good for getting shit done.

For other domains this doesn't apply of course; lower-level network stuff, portable CLIs, CPU-intensive workloads and so on are much better in go/rust but you can either integrate them with a network call, spawning an OS process or an FFI in the case of rust.

Yeah, this. Modern AI is not AI - AI is synthetic machine life and essentially always has been, in fiction and non-fictional idealism.

Deep neural networks have stuck us in hope-fueled uncanny valley, and very smart people tend to become very confused about their technology when they're subject to it.

This technology has its place about heuristic programming, definitely, but is not AI.

As others indicated, CASE was more about code generation rather than smart IDEs. My recollection from the time is that the industry really strongly believed that almost no-one would write actual textual lines of codes and that graphical programming was going to be where it was at.

Looking back, it’s a remarkable delusion: mankind went from pictures to pictograms to text, not in the reverse. The career path everyone expected (mentioned elsethread: go from a junior guy-who-writes-lines to an architect guy-who-draws-pictures) doesn’t really make sense. If anything, while a high-level architectural document needs to have some diagrams, even more than that it needs to have text: text to describe the problem being solved, the context, the potential solutions and the reasons to choose one solution over the rest. Likewise, it’s striking how many PowerPoint slides could be effectively replaced with short point papers … but that’s a discussion for another time.

I am not 100% sure of why the industry had this wrong-headed idea, as I was too young at one point in time and too junior at another to really have good context. Maybe it was the rise of GUIs which led folks to think, ‘gosh, if pictures can enable folks to use a computer easily, then they will enable folks to program a computer easily!’ Or maybe it was the unfortunate habit non-experts have of not really understanding an expert’s field. As I recall, it also had a very strong correlation with the rise of OOP.
The UK's national grid predicts that an overnight switch to EVs would only increase demand by "around 10 per cent" (https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/journey-to-net-zero/5-m...).

On the other hand the low-voltage network may need to be upgraded to cope with the increased energy demand. Here smart charging can reduce the load, and associated costs, for a number of years (https://www.kaluza.com/blog-busting-the-myth-ev-smart-chargi...).

Assuming that the intially purchase price of EVs reach parity with ICE vehicles, the consumer should save money, in an EV only world IF the consumer is able to use smart charging to take advantage of fluctuations in energy prices.

In addition to this Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology (that allows the consumer to sell energy to the grid during times of high demand + low generation) will generate income (https://www.edie.net/news/8/-World-s-largest--V2G-trial-find...) further increasing the affordability of EVs in comparison to hydrogen vehicles.
That's the weakest of arguments. I don't trust that governments _can_ protect my data better than us nerds.

If there is a backdoor, it will only be a matter of time before the criminals get access to it. It would be the holy grail of data. If I were a foreign regime with bad intentions, I would put a lot of resources into getting access to those chats.

You could probably ruin anybody's life with access to their personal chats by extorting them, etc. It's going to create a whole new criminal sector. People sifting through other people's personal lives.

I'm not implying that these people may have committed an offence, there are many things I don't want anyone else to see other than the person I'm sending the message to. The "law-abiding citizen" / "Only criminals have something to hide" argument is complete bullshit.

With access to personal chats you can ruin careers, families, relationships, etc, etc. And what can happen, will -most likely- happen. E2EE prevents that.

I mean, if I was Trump's publicity advisor (bloody hell, what a horrible job), I'd be advising him not to go near it with a ten foot pole, certainly not without seeing how it evolves. The history of these sort of "mainstream social media site is oppressing me, making my own" things is... not inspiring; they tend to fill with rejects that even Trump wouldn't want to be associated with (in particular, see voat).
Here's a little experiment anyone can do to test this. Click any tweet from a prominent Republican politician. If the tweet is new, especially very new, the replies will be relatively supportive/agreeing with the politician. Within moments/minutes, anti-Republican messages will dominate the replies something like 95 to 1 and the first few replies will almost certainly be extremely rude, crude and emotionally vitriolic.

The opposite happens to Democrat politicians, "thoughtful and sane" echoing replies are boosted to the top. Twitter gaslights conservatives and anti-gaslights the left.

I saw this happen for the first time in real time when Trump first expressed his outrage when Twitter first amended his tweet that set off the whole S230 discussion. The first 5 minutes were nothing and I mean nothing but supportive tweets. After about 5 minutes, almost all the replies that were visible at the top were vitriolic and expressing anti-Trump views. Since then, I've been spotting this pattern everywhere, just not in real time. I think what probably happened is that the censors at twitter were scared of applying their gaslighting in light of Trump's threats, but that's just a guess. It's extremely obvious to me though that Twitter is purposely gaslighting conservatives by editorializing which anti-Republican replies get the most visibility.
This is what stops me. I definitely have at least societally caused ADD (i.e. internet is just a click away full of ways to waste the time away), but probably a bit more than that, and I have a close family member with diagnosed ADHD, so I probably could get it diagnosed and get meds for it...but I'm a little afraid I'll lose one of the good things about it, which is my brain keeps bouncing around from idea to idea and comes up with all sorts of interesting things.

Now being able to stay focused to get those finished enough to get them out the door and released on the world is another thing entirely, and I seem to be having more difficulty with that now that I'm older and have more natural distractions such as two dogs that always want my attention at the worst times :)

But yeah, always had issues with deadlines, getting to places on time, impulse control, focusing on things I don't care enough about (i.e. work), etc. I've muddled through anyway and done alright for myself, at least so far, but I might get more accomplished with some medication.

But then what if I stop coming up with cool game designs and stories and music as a result?

The other thing that stops me is that close family member had some bad reactions to ADHD meds (both physical and mental), so that also gives me pause, since we share a lot of the same genes.
Having worked at a fully salary-transparent company: it is one less aspect about employment that can be gamified by employers. You know if your title is the same as someone, their pay matches. You also know how much senior executives are making and can judge for yourself if they are justifying their value.

Often, at nontransparent companies, employers will play games with salaries, but this only works if employees pretend there is some shame to sharing salaries, or if employees convince themselves they are justifiably making more than their colleagues.

Having worked at both I definitely prefer transparent salaries. Hiding them mostly only benefits employers

It’s a chicken and an egg problem. His numbers will always be lower than they were on Twitter, and that will always be pointed out.

Same reason his blog lasted about a month.
I think Twitter pretty much found the balance already since every extreme group from pretty much every angle is complaining about Twitter being biased against them. Meanwhile Twitter even tries to work around legal moderation requirements by splitting the visible parts of the network by country.
There's just too much pain (both physical and emotional) and too many diseases in the world. I refuse to believe that a higher entity (name it God or aliens) would create or simulate all those cruel things.

That's twitter users, not the platform itself. I don't see any "free speech" alternative being any different. In fact presumably such mobbing would be more prevalent and more vitriolic there, as there would be no standards of content or behaviour.

What you're asking for there is a republican safe space that suppresses dissent, not free speech.
