I think “web directory” is the old answer, which was killed by targeted ads.

Even though I wouldn't voluntarily opt in for ads on my Facebook feed if I had the chance, but some ads are so good that I am sometimes even thankful when I see an interesting promoted product

Idk, when things were different, I actually read ads on paper, because it was interesting what companies can offer, and it was versatile. It was like going to a monstrous store with shelfs full of different goods and descriptions. You’re asking how to target a specific interest? A directory. I’d go to a tech section (and many more) weekly just to keep up with the world. I’d share good findings with my friends and relatives, buy interesting things which I know much better than FB ever would. Today directories are dead and I have NO, completely NO way to do that, except by the chance of seeing something on HN or few other sites. Github awesome-something lists are a proof for that: you just can’t reach good stuff with how it all works now.

I see clubhouse as a more open community encouraging 1 to many calls or many to many calls. However, Twixy is a service you can leverage your existing twitter followers. Also this is a 1to1 call service to encourage more close communication or engagement with your followers!!

Hence, maybe clubhouse could be competitor but at the moment, I do not see clubhouse being our direct competitor!
If you can keep this up until you die, your heirs may benefit from what's called "step up in basis" on the shares. Thus a lot of capital gains tax is avoided.
> They need to buy better old movies.

I believe it's much more in their interest to buy old TV shows. A good movie will keep you occupied for what, two hours? Seinfeld: almost 19 days of watch time. Friends: over 5 days. Community was barely ever popular before Netflix bought it, now there's plenty of people that enjoyed it for 2 days and 7 hours of watch time (its subreddit went from 266k on April 2020 to 482k right now).

I believe it's also in their interest to spread out stories that are realistically one-movie-long into 5-6 slightly drawn out 40-50 min episodes.

I just wish they fucking stick to them instead of cancelling them after like two seasons. Orange Is The New Black is the only original of theirs I know of that goes above two days of airtime.
Isn't there a problem with the sampling here? What if people who likely install RegretsReporter are also people who are more likely to view tangentially related problematic content in the first place, and then are shown more of it. Also, the dividing line on what's consider problematic is difficult, as we saw recently with Right Wing Watch.

And the proposed regulation seems even more problematic. If the AI model were public, then it would be far easier for people to create adversarial content to game it. This is a problem with any models built on public data, including OpenAI's GPT stuff, or GitHub's Copilot. Detailed knowledge of how it works allows more efficient adversarial attacks, and the more these services become important public infrastructure, the more value such attacks will be.

Imagine a co-pilot attack that inserts hard-to-discover Heartbleed-esque bugs into code for example.

It seems way way too early to be discussing regulation of algorithms of a field so young and changing so rapidly. 5 years from now, the network architectures may be unrecognizably different in both form and function.

It might be better to have some industry-wide group like the W3C or IETF which sets these standards, and have tech published reports and audits for compliance, but done in a way to prevent attacks.
Thanks for your comment!

Violence isn’t inherently fascist.

Capitalism uses violence against the working class to maintain profits for the owning class.

Revolutions of the working class are violent, yet they end the former violence and exploitation.

Fascism is violence to protect the owning class from a revolution by the working class.

Suppression of capitalists after a working class revolution is also violence to prevent them from regaining power to yet again use violence to exploit the working class.

Violence is just one way to exert power.
You have the ability to hide your traffic so the point is moot.
That's been the problem with the Google result too, even though they did have "controlled" operations. They basically showed that a quantum computer doing random operations has an output that is difficult to predict with classical simulation.

It also solves no problem at all. They tried to shoehorn into the paper a "CSRNG" application but it's dubious at best if you have any kind of cost constraint.
So do I, but I've known of a case in the family where the 11 year old kid was left with his phone in such a way that he got into the habit of watching YouTube even after 11 pm on schooldays. He could have had an opportunity of enjoying a good education, but his abuse of his phone and the family's iPad left him with bad grades. So bad, that going to university was no longer an option.

There are many career paths in Germany, so one could think that this might not really be an issue, but he also started messing up the alternatives. Now with Corona he is in a full limbo.

And this is only close family, I wouldn't be surprised if this is a more widespread issue, so I do appreciate if methods are sought after to avoid these kind of unnecessary problems, which are just a manifestation of bad parenting, but having a camera with an AI behind it watching your every step or possibly listening into your daily life feels like the wrong approach. It is scary.

> it is one of their specialities as an OS/platform after all.

Apple's been losing ground with creative-types across all industries and areas since their post-2000s peak: the major attitude-adjustment came with the reputational harm that came from the launch-and-downfall of the 2013 Mac Pro.

As a wry zinger, I find it ironic that creative-types cannot express their creativity, and especially their individually by way of system customization - nor explore opportunities for out-of-the-box solutions to their computing problems due to Apple's uniform hardware design and their locking-down of the platform. Remember when people used to apply custom skins to MacOS?

Secure defaults is fine - I actively encourage it - but Apple is increasingly treating their desktop/laptop computing platform as though they own the hardware that's legally yours. It's my laptop and I want to root my own OS, why won't they let me?

It's because like other libertarian/anarcho-capitalist politics, which seem to be heavily tied in with cryptocurrency, it's based on some idea that every individual is super smart and rational and shouldn't be hindered by the regulations, combined with a fairly righteous mistrust of government and big institutions.

It's a kind of arrogance that they personally don't feel like there's a colossal power asymmetry they need protection from and cryptocurrency proves this.

Perhaps some are clued enough to not get steamrollered by institutions and fraudsters, however they appear to have utter contempt and disregard for people who lack the time or ability or learning speed to protect themselves.
Facebook Goes Boring
I don't think CCP would throw away billions of worth just because they dislike the man. Unlike the west, China is allowed to meddle into the affairs of any company, so it's not hard to imagine they are just profiting from him, like a shadow takeover. This explains why he is shown around from time to time: to calm down the investors. At some point this circus would be over, and the companies will collapse by themselves.
LGBTQ by itself is not a threat to either Putin or Xi but what LGBTQ represents is a threat to traditional society and gender roles. The judgement is still out if new type of society developed in the west with modern gender norms, women’s rights and sexual freedoms is viable long term and from demographic perspective it’s frankly probably not.

Authoritarians instinctively cling to the old roles/family and even if are not able to fully stop changes (US is amazing at exporting ideology) they try to and battle against LGBT is part of that fight.

I do not think you can directly connect authoritarian and being anti LGBQ outside of modern context - Xi, Putin or Orban views on lgbt were mainstream in US only 20-30 years ago.

There's even more discussion on the lock memory ordering on Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61299704/how-c-standard-...

Taking a lock only needs to be an acquire operation and a compiler barrier for other lock operations. Using seq_cst or acq_rel semantics is stronger than needed. From my reading and discussions with people from WG21 the current argument for why taking a lock only requires acq semantics is that a compiler optimization that transforms a non-deadlocking program into a potentially deadlocking program is not allowed. There's an interesting twitter thread where we discuss this I can't find anymore :(.

> I feel most people don't understand that their projects are unbillable and "negotiating" is not an option.

That is a valid point in some cases.

But counterwise I feel that many people on the other side of this need to accept that in many cases the creator(s) of the GPL covered code simply don't want it used that way and that is their prerogative, and they don't agree with the assessment that either they, the project, or the world at large, would be better off some other way. In those cases billable or not is a moot point, as is negotiation for that matter and you will be rebuffed (hopefully politely, there is no need to be dickish about it).

>...I guess I will allow myself to say, that you can't re-license per se, only newer versions can be re-licensed. a prior release will forever be that license.

Wrong. Why does the GPL crowd continue to believe they can re-license copyrighted works they don't own? Only the copyright owner has the right to re-license. The GPL does NOT give permission to re-license.

The below copyright notice is displayed in ET:Legacy source files and id Software (or a superseding entity) will hold that copyright until it expires a little over a hundred years from now.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory GPL Source Code
* Copyright (C) 1999-2010 id Software LLC, a ZeniMax Media company.

>This in turn means that a GPL codebase cannot be anything but GPL.

Wrong again. A project released under the GPL can include permissively licensed code such as BSD, MIT, or ISC. The FSF lists licenses which are compatible with the GPL. What you cannot do is change the license on that permissive code to GPL.

>because if its a direct modification, then that should be GPL as well.

It can, but nothing compels it because the original is under the another license. Also, not all modifications meet the standard to be covered by copyright; the modification must be significantly expressive.
What's your point? Countries with LGBT and woman's rights aren't sustainable demographically?

I think you're severely overstating the effect of LGBT people on this matter - western countries struggle with demographics, but it's not because more gay people are able to live their lives without being forced into straight relationships.

Companies hold assets, cash flow and perform real world activities that have a tangible value. There are multiple ways that value can be realised. Aside from speculative investors which were discussing, companies and individuals can buy shares in order to exert strategic influence over the company for their own reasons, so the shares have a value to them beyond just the share price. For example the way Microsoft owned shares in Apple for a long time because the existence and operations of Apple at the time benefited them. Ultimately management can buy out the company, or an external player can mount a takeover, or there could be a merger, any of which can lead to a cash out situation.

E.g. a software company might never pay a dividend, but the company might be bought by a company that wants to acquire it's products or customers, or it's technology team. These things have economic value that can be realised. So there are multiple ways a company can have value that can lead to share owners benefiting from the materialisation of that value.

ACA is a federal level law that does several different things. As I understand it, the main points were increased insurance regulation, the individual mandate, and an option for states to expand medicaid [0]. I'm not sure why there is so much state-to-state variance, but afaik the aca wouldn't prevent that.

This article contains two suggestions:

1. heat pumps rather than resistance heating: move the heat where you want it instead of creating it from scratch.

2. timeshifting electrical load. Figure out how to add and shed it on demand.

The second one has a remarkable property. Load can be shed much more quickly than spinning up peak-load generators. That means grid operators can, in periods of overload, keep the grid's AC frequency (50 or 60Hz) from dropping. Without load shedding it's done with expensive and dirty peak-load generators. That's called "frequency control ancillary services" (FC/AS) in the grid biz, and it's economically important: regional grids don't work properly unless their local grids all run at the same frequency. Local grids don't want to be disconnected from regional grids in peak-load times because their generators slowed from 60Hz to 59.8Hz. Remotely switching off a mess of hot water heaters is a GREAT way to change the grid load quickly if that starts to happen.

FC/AS is a major driver of the big Australian battery projects (built with parts from Tesla).

Who is the Van Jacobson (TCP designer who dreamed up slow-start / exponential backoff) of smart grids? Is it somebody reading HN?
Between neutral & earth? That's surely going to depend on the topology of your earthing system [0] - TN-C will be so low impedance you won't get much through your deliberate load at all, more with TN-C-S, but most luck with TN-S where neutral already has a long cable run full of impedance before it joins back up with earth, and you can add a small enough load that that path gets a non-negligible share of the current.

What type of digital ad future might we imagine?

Let's look at some types of digital ads:

1) "Personalised": surveillance based, on HN almost all of us are familiar with the consequences

2) Cohort: still involves surveillance based data collection (FLoC, PARAKEET, ATT)

3) Subscribed: this still, almost invariably, involves surveillance based practices based on first party data (eg NYT, eCommerce)

4) Contextual: based on expressed or implicit intent (search) or interest (display)

5) Solicited: for instance an ads-free, and/or ads-turn off option with a subscription service

6) Ban Ads: Prohibitions can backfire. Besides ads can be an economic signal and part of an effective market giving a chance to challengers

As a search engine, we are fortunate you might say, as search queries so often expresses intent; and we can use location. We will never store nor share IP address; not even with the last octet stripped off, as some do. And as a search engine, rather than search syndication partner, we do not need to pass on data. So it's easy for us to say that, if a challenge to scale up, privacy-first no-tracking contextual ads are the best solution.

What is your view on the best type of advertising in different contexts?
It will help create a separation between programmers and developers/software engineers
