I hope so too. The disappointing revelation that follows those reveries is that, if it does come to pass, we won't be around to see it. It reminds me of Why We Can't Wait by Dr. King...

>Time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more I feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to work to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.”
― Martin Luther King Jr., Why We Can't Wait
If you want to sell just half the business, talk to people you know. Your partner needs to be able to get along with your replacement.

Conversely, you're probably better off just selling the whole thing because the other person has to get along with your partner.

Patio11 has sold several businesses and his blog and podcast discuss the steps.
I found the first two articles were interesting despite obvious flaws in the presented evidence. After reading the third one, it just looks like logical fallacy to me.

For example, taken from the first article:

> In the past, most people got slightly leaner as they got older.

How can you claim that with so few data. From the same data I would conclude that obese people die at young age...

I don't think we should exclude any possible cause but a global contaminant which is the only cause of obesity seems far fetched.

Simple logic would suggest that our food is the main culprit.

Personaly I would bet obesity is due to weakened gut microbiome (due to consumption of process foods), transmitted from mothers to their children. In other words, each generation consuming processed food gives birth to children more susceptible to obesity. It has actually been modeled with rats (cannot find the published link though).
The previous design is apparently still the default. This new design is an option.
I'm pretty sure that it uses digitally controlled analog shifters. This is distinct from baseband IQ digital beamforming.
Is it a web app or just a static site? I still haven't seen a good argument for why static sites (blogs, personal sites, etc. that process no user information) should implement HTTPS.
Do you understand at all, that the original thing that someone brought up, was how a despot could censor a bunch of stuff, without doing it through the government?

You are ignoring the point that is being brought up.

You bringing up this other thing, makes it seem like you are trying to dismiss this other concern, by bringing up a fact that does not actually address their point.

Are you actually going to address the original point here, or are you going to keep ignoring it?

The fact that you refuse to actually talk about the issue, which is that a despot can get away with censoring things, by doing it through private companies, makes it seem like you don't actually have a response to that, and are trying to misdirect.
My thoughts exactly. The article seema to intentionally taboo homophobia (maybe dismissing it under the category of "identity") when that is one of the biggest sources of homeless youths in the US. I refuse to see parents who disown their gay kids as victims.
Should mention it won't run on 64bit OSes:

Twitter to Remove Fleets
Yes, the goal was that EV certificates would fill this gap. However, research showed that they didn't meaningfully affect user behavior[1], it was easy to get CAs to issue EV certs for company names that misled the user into thinking the phishing site was secure[2], and it was even possible to issue colliding EV certificates simply by registering your company in a different jurisdiction[3]. So in 2019, Chrome, Safari and Firefox all removed the "special" treatment of EV certificates. (In Safari it's still distinguished by a green vs grey lock icon, I believe)

This is the American dream since the late 70s: massive inequality, weak government, unlimited power for the ultra wealthy.
There's no avoiding this even if you don't " censor your platform in response to political pressure " because everyone assumes that is the case and the game is on...

It's not a case of deciding to:

>optionally censor your platform in response to political pressure

Because so many people assume that if some content is removed and it is <content I think should be permissible / like> well then that must have been because of political pressure or views at that company or something like that.

So by default:

> The platform ends up being collateral damage in some political war

Even if the content removed wasn't removed due to political pressure the accusations fly and the game begins.

Nobody is forced by a platform's actions to play the game, the sad truth is people will believe the game is on all the times to explain anything they don't like / don't understand.

Rudy Giuliani thought that Twitter was 'allowing' someone to post content to his account without his permission ... but really he had posted a link to a domain that didn't exist, then someone registered and had some fun with him.

Rudy of course just filled in the blanks of his ignorance with concerns of bias by Twitter... and there's A LOT of people who do that (with all sorts of political views).

We had an article here on HN where up and down votes changed on YouTube ... it was interpreted by some immediately as some sort of political bias.

Have a platform? You're in the game...
I started lifting weights two years ago. First time I've ever really succeeded in developing an exercise habit in 50+ years. Progress is slow. Every few weeks I can add maybe 5 lbs to a particular lift. Or maybe not. I have no specific goals. But the accumulated progress is remarkable to me. I have a better body now than I did in high school. It's still not "fun" but I do it every other day and rarely miss, and it does give me a sense of satisfaction to complete a workout.
I suppose time will tell.

IMO the only difference between my examples and yours is the amount of time that has passed, giving us perspective.
I pretend nothing of the sort. I was asking what was your point of reference for recovering alcoholic. I have a good one, being one and having done the whole AA and other methods. This AA opinion states several arguments for and against. And talks about competitive drinking? That's your point of reference? Substitutes can help in the social aspect of being a non drinker, and also maybe you can have NA beer without relapsing. I'll take my recovery advice from a doctor or a sponsor, not someone who's found an article on the net.

My points stand. You clearly don't know enough about European beers I'll drop this thread. Just try and drink some brewdog punk af or some brooklyn af or some of the delicious Polish AF IPAs I've had.

You may want to open your mind to what exists or, please, show your work and cite the ones that you tried and were so bad you can't call them 'beers'.
Church attendance isn't about "unifying interest" or socioeconomic status? The unified interest is obvious: salvation through christ, and churches tend to serve a relatively small community which is likely to be of very similar socioeconomic status. That's not even to mention the abject racism that led to black christians having to set up their own churches (which white people often subsequently burnt down).

The olden days where "everybody" went to church every week still had tons of social problems.

It can depend on your research interests, but Google Scholar is my go to first dip into any topic. Then its a bit of rabbit-holing by looking at cited sources and reading them or reading other papers that were a part of the same journal/conference.

> Why would I choose to do this somewhere that the leadership rejects me and tells me I will burn in hell?

Because of the people in the church? Because of the fact that 'the leadership' is just the guy preaching, whereas the actual community is run by everyday people (well in my experience it is).

> It's not like there aren't more social/community options than I could possibly find the time to participate in that _don't_ have religious ties.

Well that's exactly it. People say there are myriad options and then don't participate, because they don't have time. Whereas in a church, you have to go. It's an obligation. Which makes it easier for people of all backgrounds to show up.
But that's exactly the concern, that "toxic" is both hypercharged with negative affect and can't be disputed. Similar labels don't have that problem - I would and do tell friends things like "she's not contrarian, she just has strong beliefs you haven't fully understood".
I've witnessed the opposite. Most parents who disown their gay children are encouraged to do so by religious belief.
Because it helps the average person get a sense of scale - instead of saying '100 million, but that's 5 times ore than....' you just do the inflated number and people get a better sense of scale.
That's already what Firefox does. Despite not saying it clearly, if you accept a self-signed certificate, it will be used as long as it does not change.

But that is why there were apprentiships, and I have seen docos about Japanese solo or small workplace craftsmen who take on 70yo apprentices.

But it would need planning, and a certain class of able worker who is happy to not continually be dreaming about "changing the world".

But sometimes better is just keep persisting with what works, not everything is better disrupted.

In reality, no one owes anyone anything. That doesn’t make it ideal or justified.

Turns out that’s a bad way to structure a society and being hyper individualistic just ends up in your society collapsing.
Isn't it kind of implied that if you own a platform, you retain the discretion to remove stuff at any time, unless otherwise prohibited? The YouTube terms of service can be updated at any time, and will never include language promising to never take down content.
This is a symptom of flat design. When you remove texture, shadow, and borders, you have to rely more on margins to group and distinguish items.
There are a lot of annoying stuff about the computer interface nowadays. But in terms of connectors, there are a lot of good stuff we take for granted now. Like how intuitive and fool-proof the connectors are.

So a couple of days ago, I have just fried all three hard drives with the backup of my data, at the same time. They were installed in a new caddy I bought with a common molex receptor for power. There molex receptor has a giant sticker blocking it saying you will fry your drives if you connect to the molex receptor in reverse. I got the pinouts right, tested, it worked. Then, I had to bring the caddy to under my desk. I was scooting under the desk and couldn't see very well. I fumbled and put the cable on reverse, it didn't go in. However, the molex connector got just enough contact to fry the drives.

What I'm trying to say is if it was the USB-A connector or the sata power connector, the issue wouldn't have happened because the pins are recessed. It wouldn't have made contact even when I tried to plug in reverse. I just assumed the molex worked the same way and was wrong.

The situation is even better with usb-c now, it's not that you can't plug in it wrong, there is no wrong way to plug the cable. It doesn't matter what the voltage is, the chip will negotiate the power. USB succeeded for a reason, and I'm glad that it did.

> But this isn't an option, and Full Screen Safari has weird rendering bug and performance issues.

FWIW I'm a big user of full screen (in most apps that support it) and haven't noticed those issues on either Intel or M1 MBAs.

I wish more apps in full screen mode would hide the UI like Safari does. Most of the time the top bars of icons are simply dead space because most of the time you aren't clicking up there -- and when you do you're only clicking one icon.
This is also still a slightly different concern. EV ensures that you are talking to the company that you think you are talking to (in theory, in practice company names are not unique and not a good identifier) not that the company that you are talking to has good security.

Put another way users think "This site is secure" not "I am securely connected to the site I think I am".

Facebook really isn't going to do anything real to counter their disinformation and right-wing propaganda problem, since it is their major content driver and money maker. Until they are forced by by the government to change they will continue to pay lip service since it is their cash cow.
As a whole https makes internet better for sure, but what's wrong with the classmate's argument in particular?
That's not what this is about. In both cases, the state is forcing an company to do something they don't want. The only difference is that you agree with the one but not the other.
Or more precisely; some people don't. /s
> If you dismiss such things as mere "picking and choosing", you're unlikely to to be able to understand viewpoints to which you're inclined to disagree.

You said the SBC was the largest Christian denomination. Then, when that was false, you changed it to 'largest Protestant organization'.

I mean, you can restrict things down to anything to prove a point. Did you know my McDonalds down the block has the highest sales revenue of any McDonalds in inner NE portland between the hours of 5 and 7PM? It's just crazy that we're blessed with such a prestigious example of fine business in my area.
Well my experience was different. I was doing nothing. I was letting paychecks accumulate in my checking account, and just guessing at what percentage I should be contributing to my retirement. Turns out that wasn't the right thing to do, and her advice showed me why.
I agree, and you can see this pass down through the generations. It's even possible to recognize it in yourself and still have trouble because you don't know what else to do. So called default mode behaviors etc...
And the more compliance becomes a cost, the harder it is for underfunded upstarts to sneak in & grab marketshare.
Overfits for study participants. Will Not necessarily give same results on gen pop
Right. Nothing these platforms censor or began censoring early on was anywhere near reasonable. It was all political grandstanding to show those in power that big tech are the good guys. They’ll do the political bidding of the elites and politicians will only threaten to hold companies responsible to gain points with their constituents. All the while the politicians and big tech are in bed with each ensuring the information they don’t want shared isn’t shared.

People who think any platform has the right to censor information scare the shit out of me. Save for things that are illegal, every platform should be neutral. Moderation should algorithmically be tied to the law.
Why would someone giving birth to you oblige one to forgive severe physical abuse merely because you are too big to beat up at this point?

It is a bizarre to suppose that love is owed instead of earned or earned once instead of the result of ongoing effort. If you stop feeding your cat or watering your plant it dies same with your relationship.

I would venture to guess that the majority of estranged parents don't know this or in denial about having let the relationship die.

The article says that the majority of parental estrangement is due to divorce especially the non custodial father then successfully segues to some nonsense about identity politics.

I don't see it as a realignment of values so much as a more boring story about parents breaking up and becoming estranged spiced up with a minority becoming estranged because the values they hold are correctly deemed odious and hateful.

If you hate gay people and your kid is either gay or feels strongly about the issue they aren't going to want to be around you.

If you talk about shooting dirty liberals and your kid is a dirty liberal likewise.

If your own kid hates you the first thing you should do is ask yourself why and if you blame it on a lack of family values you are almost certainly the problem.

We both have good relationships with our kids I think you misunderstand why others don't.
I think the point the parent comment was trying to make was, consider if you are storing data in North Korea; it’s 2010 and your encryption scheme is considered secure.

At some point, North Korea has copied the encrypted data for later data mining.

In 2021 that encryption scheme for some reason is no longer considered secure. Even if you stepped using it in 2014, the data from the time you used it up until you stopped may be compromised.

The industry and infrastructure supporting this, from drilling, extracting, transporting, refining, and distributing products from oil needs to disappear. Once it is done, some people will keep them around, sure, and that’s not necessarily a problem. But it will be impractical to do for most people, like for the working- and middle-class people who enjoy driving and good engineering.

No, I don't assume that. That's a very wrong assumption on your part.

You have to be capable and interested in passing a FAANG interview. Presumably those that failed the FAANG interview process are either incapable or uninterested. My money says it's mostly the former.

You have to pass-as what FAANG deems as the top 1%. Most people don't.
The actual issue is a bit different than what is perceived.

This comes down to the actual definition of community.

Our priority is the contributor community and the user community as a WHOLE.

Of those complaining on Github and online, not a single one of them have contributed a single line of code to the project. Not even one.

Their complaints and concerns are also not very representative of the actual user community (1.2% of users are running Linux, while the overwhelming majority of complaints were from Linux users).

So, in addition to the contributor community and the user community as a whole, I do not see any other community.

There is this nebulous broader FOSS community that is often referred to. A group demanding to impose their version of idealogical purity on the project, yet not contributing a line of code.

But if they are not contributors and not representative of the actual user community... why should the project be forced to cater to the demands of 1.2% of the user base at the cost of convenience to the other 98.8% of users?

How absolutely insane would it be for any other software project to be beholden to 1.2% of their actual users?

Don't get me wrong, we are extremely committed to FOSS, and our motivations are actually quite ideological - we believe every creator deserves equal/free access to professional quality software.

The difference is our ideology is not the same as this very vocal minority that is primarily anti-corporate and whose demands limit capabilities for the overwhelming majority of users.
This is really cool. Temporary development shells are a great reason to start using Nix. It makes new tools much easier to test without wreaking havoc on your existing projects.

A project I'm working on called flox (floxdev.com) is aiming to make Nix easier to use and install. You can define collections of packages ("profiles") that install with all their dependencies locally, and automatically sync across every machine where you have flox installed.

It works on all linux distros now, but we're working to add macOS support.
The first Adpocalypse preceded that. Rather, it was part of an internal drive to focus on more "family-friendly" content. Iirc, it was actually the presence of Islamic State propaganda on the site that was part of the motivation.

The term Norman architecture is used to categorise styles of Romanesque architecture developed by the Normans in the various lands under their dominion or influence in the 11th and 12th centuries. In particular the term is traditionally used for English Romanesque architecture. The Normans introduced large numbers of castles and fortifications including Norman keeps, and at the same time monasteries, abbeys, churches and cathedrals, in a style characterised by the usual Romanesque rounded arches (particularly over windows and doorways) and especially massive proportions compared to other regional variations of the style.
