It seems like there ought to be something gated around the size and market dominance of a platform. If you want to spin up a PHPBB forum for like 1,000 people around some hobby or something, feel free to ban and censor anyone you don't like for any reason. If you're effectively a monopoly like Facebook or Twitter, congratulations on getting so big, but now any moderation decisions you make effectively controls the ability of people to express themselves in our new public square. This doesn't seem like a good practice - nobody voted for the Facebook moderation team, why do they get to decide what is and isn't okay to say?

I'm not sure exactly where the line should be drawn or exactly what the rule should be, but it seems clear that we need to do something here.

Instead of relying on my own "ideas" on economics, a field I have no training in, I would simply stick to one of the two sources cited here for inflation predictions:

"
There are two popular methodologies for predicting inflation. The first is to rely on the Survey of Professional Forecasters, the oldest US survey of macroeconomic forecasts by economists, and the second is to rely on the breakeven rate, the spread between the US Treasury yield and the yield for TIPS, as a measure of market expectations."

It's a streaming-based data platform which means "data stream" is a fundamental first-class citizen similar to how the table is on the relational database. The key benefit is that data can be move without doing polling (or writing job scheduler) with is how done in the traditional batch-based ETL. Compared with the legacy streaming platforms, Fluvio fits better in a cloud-native environment, with less resource required in terms of memory and CPU load usages which means it is significantly cheaper. With our WASM inline programmable engine, you can perform data computation near storage, eliminate unnecessary data movement, reduce network transmission costs and delays, and eliminate security risks. We will start to publish our performance and other stats. Our SPU (Streaming Processing Unit) runs in 1/10 of memory as a Kafka broker (which requires a min of 1G memory) on a simple benchmark.

I actually do think it's wrong. Culture and more speech is the solution to those issues.

I've gone 6-8 weeks without missing a day. People have said "don't beat yourself up if you miss one day here or there" and I've gone up to 6 months without missing 2 days in a row. It has never become automatic.
You can try to convince yourself that the activity you want to perform is a given, just like eating and showering... you don't think whether you should do it, you just do it.

It works for me. I can go to gym religiously 3 days a week, and been doing it for years. Sometimes there's a company online after-hours or something... sorry, can't go , it's my gym day. If you start allowing certain things to stop you from doing what you want, then anything starts becoming a good excuse to not do it. Don't let that happen.

Regarding programming: I can keep up for months but sometimes I run into a problem that is really annoying to fix... I know I can fix it given enough determination, but then I think I am not getting paid for this, so what the heck... which results in me starting a new project and leaving that one aside until I actually need it (which happens every now and then).
Can you even place as many elements there? Vertical scrolling would not really make sense since you get into/out of that “menu” with a vertical swipe.
Not familiar but like the spirit of the idea. At first glance from just the material you provided it'd have to be a lot closer than 100km apart, 30:1-40:1 seem to be typical ratios with 70:1 being cutting edge and winch launch height seems to top out at 3000 ft (less than 1km). Not to mention for a lot of travel the ground isn't flat which can be problematic even in the direction there is an average decrease in ground height.

Flying in good conditions may be an easier problem to solve than driving in good conditions but the issues seem to move towards what happens in the bad conditions. It's not like you can just hit the brake or park on the side of the road and continue later when the system detects a current or upcoming problem. Even if you get it so 99.99% of flights are in favorable weather and wind without piloting issue a 1 in 10,000 chance your glider is going to make an emergency landing or worse is not good enough odds, especially if it's multiple flights each way. And that ignores the problem of the service being unavailable if certain weather conditions aren't met, so the backup transportation option is still needed at a moments notice in full force anyways.

Then, much like self driving, there are the regulation issues https://www.ssa.org/glider-pilot-ratings/ which would be their own challenge to change and require you solve them before the business can even get it's chance to get going.

That being said I like the concept, just not sure it's really any easier. Perhaps we should just build the missing rail instead :).

I think that just means that your subconscious cost benefit analysis concluded that it wasn't worth it. I think that's normal. You'll probably try out a bunch of hobbies/habits in a lifetime, and only choose to stick with a couple.
There's no mystery here, at least as far as the article describing divorce.

Children of divorced parents usually end up staying with a parent that manipulates them into hating the parent that doesn't have custody, because there's no opportunity to tell your side of the story. It's like state-mandated propaganda, except coming from your parent.

Is it any surprise then that if an authority tells you to hate something in your developmental years, that you end up hating it, and thus estranged?

Also, calling it a shift is pretty disingenuous. It's more like a deliberate eradication.
Added scare quotes to "communists". I'm not talking about literal communists. 50's boogeyman communists. Maybe I _did_ mean that flippantly.
I don't think Firefox is even better than Chromium overall. There's a lot of good stuff in Chromium that just doesn't exist in Firefox like a great tab groups implementation and PWA support.

Some of the Firefox-only things I like are it suggesting Reader more more often, and the Page Info view. They're the kind of small conveniences Chrome is missing.

[EDIT]
Oh, and being able to use bookmarks to sync custom searches across devices was AMAZING. Of course, that had to die.
[/EDIT]

And of course zero knowledge sync and uBlock on mobile are huge, which Chrome itself has a less excellent record on. But some of the Chromium forks like Brave and Vivaldi not only offer those, but also good tab groups.

The big thing with Firefox is that its enthusiast userbase is moronically hostile to Firefox gaining financial independence of some kind. They bought Pocket and integrated it and people were just about ready to lynch the Firefox/Mozilla team. A lot of them are more motivated by the kind of purity that makes people install gNewSense and complain about companies doing business than any desire to have an actually useful tool with independent revenue streams.
Hey, thanks for replying. I can’t say I agree with your reasoning though. I’ve seen first hand what kind of damage a generational chain does to a family. Daughters hating their mothers until their dying breath, only to carry that same trauma into a strained relationship with their children. The cycle repeats until a grown child decides to either consciously change this behavior with their own children, or distance themselves from their parent.

Not to be too dramatic, I believe abusive parents will metaphorically poison their families well beyond their own lives. Cutting that rot out of the tree is sometimes a way to save the healthier branches.
There's multiple reasons. Mostly: jurisdiction and protectionism.

I don't like tomato juice, but in flight it tastes different. I absolutely loathe beet and eggplant, but I've wondered if their taste also becomes more palatable in flight.

It's not that they're different, I've asked for tomato juice while the plane's departure was delayed for a technical problem, and it tastes as regular tomato juice.

> When and if you come to understand this, you see growing energy usage as a good thing, infact, the best thing.

I guess that depends on whether one values decentralization of currency higher than other topics like e.g. climate change/the survival of the human race/biodiversity etc.

Bitcoin depends on a proof of work, so unsurprisingly energy usage is a natural property of the thing. It is literally a answer to the question which resource is scarce/limited in the digital domain.
It's because in the US the theory is that by hiring you salaried, they hire your mind and creative output, not a set labor. This means they pay you for anything your mind produces and then try to claim ownership for anything your mind produces whether you were in-office or not.

> A packet coming from the other side of the world costs, fundamentally, a very different amount from a packet coming from nearby.

But you were not talking about the distance a packet travels. You specifically said “A new Netflix-like service is a very different thing than a new social-network-like service” which, other things like location being equal, is not true. Getting 100 mbps of “Netflix like” traffic is not different than getting 100 mbps of “social network” traffic. The content doesn’t matter.

I was wrong about you not understanding. Clearly you do understand and are arguing in bad faith and attempting to misrepresent the issue. Since “packet distance” has never been part of the issue of ISPs trying to be able to discriminate based on content, either the company providing it (Netflix vs Hulu vs Prime Video) or based on the category of content (music vs social media vs messaging). None of those have anything to do with packet distances, which you clearly understood when you were originally were speaking about content categories. But you then tried to use a more technical and pedantic, but irrelevant, issue to obfuscate the actual argument.
This was exactly how we built OwnLocal before we quit our day jobs. In a sense, it was very easy because when you don't know how big the problem is, everything feels like progress.

Now I see 40 barreling towards me and it's hard to just do a little bit every day. Because I have experience, I can form a much bigger picture of an idea in my head and it's hard to peel off a tiny bit and make that feel like a success.

This curses me in my startup attempts but it also curses me in my work. It's hard to think like a founder anymore. I always overspec projects because I can easily guess what demons lie on the horizon.

I miss my early startup days when I could just write some code every day and feel successful. I want that back.
With great time, and care. Discord managed to do this in only 4 years, so it is possible. The cynical side of me says that a distributed social network, by definition, doesn't have the ability to run large marketing campaigns like Discord.

There are a lot of factors involved with all of that. I would argue that what has happened is that Modi's policies, even ones that might seem reasonable at the start like reforming the currency, have as executed ended up creating enormous difficulties for business in India and that investment has dropped primarily as a result of Indian business struggling amid their current circumstances.

I'm glad to see this topic so hotly debated here.

After having read most of the comments here, most of the discussion is turning on the point of what the first amendment does or does not require. That's great - the law should be the low bar for behaviour of the government, corporations and populance.

The first amendment is an excellent part of the constitution, putting the U.S. far ahead of many other regimes when it comes to free speech. However, it's not the be-all end-all. The corporate and political landscape, the balance of power between the people and government, and the U.S.'s geopolitical situation have changed since 1791.

Too many people treat the American constitution like the U.S.A. Law-Bible - ever correct, never flawed, never to be updated. That is absurd. The last amendment was ratified in 1992, and I'd say we are overdue for a few more.

In your arguments, please distinguish what is legal from what you think is the right thing to do.

I actually think what your saying is foolish. There's no "other universes." As I stated there's only one universe. Seems obvious to me.
If the slow driver is fully capable of driving a normal speed and makes the choice to drive well below the speed limit, they are making a choice that directly increases the probability of an accident (regardless of if they are involved in the actual accident or not).

If the slow car has an issue that makes it so that they cannot go any faster they should be putting their hazards on and slowing down, in which case it would be the drivers who are not paying attention's fault.

Really in both cases the drivers not paying attention share some of the blame, but in the first case the slow driver is also being irresponsible.
As the average temperature increases, it seems reasonable to expect the rate of melting, thus sea level rise, increase. Add to that highly nonlinear effects like the "clathrate gun", and a continuing linear increase in sea level seems highly non-obvious

Tom Scott's 3-part series (on YouTube) a few years back on "How to be popular on the Internet"[0] has similar advice.

He of course says it much better than I can.

Various reasons - capitalism, the degraded ability of bureaucracies to manage things compared to agile private enterprises as technology improves, conflicts of interest between nation states, and so forth. Government is not a great mechanism to drive innovation by itself, especially cooperative multi-state efforts. Things are better managed by governments setting good rules in place and private sector entities doing whatever they can to profit within the bounds of those rules.

I think our culture teaches us the wrong mental model for happiness. We think of it like wealth: a quantity to try to maximize. If 1 happiness is good, then 2 is better, 10 is really good, and 100000 is amazing.

But that's not how our emotions work at all. Thanks to the hedonic treadmill, it's not possible to experience long-term joy over any consistent period. Active joyful enthusiasm is by nature an ephemeral experience.

Instead of happiness, what we want long term is something more akin to peace, satisfaction, or tranquility. A sense that all is right with where we are in the world.

And the model for that is much more like hunger and satiety. No one thinks that if eating one steak is good then eating a hundred steaks is great and a million is amazing. Hunger exists to address an imbalance. The goal of it is to get you back to a comfortable neutral point where you are satieted but not unpleasantly stuffed.

Unhappiness works in a similar fashion. It tells us something is off balance in our emotional life. So when you find yourself craving some experience or activity and thinking "this will make me happy", it means "this will fix a thing making me unhappy". It doesn't mean that scaling that craving up will make you extra super happy.

A lot of advice I hear is that it takes about 30 days of doing something daily to form a habit. Perhaps you are stopping just short of the necessary number of days?

Also, given that you have been diagnosed with ADHD, maybe it would take you longer than others to form the habit. I don't have any outside info to support that -- it's just a possibility that came to mind.
I can't form habits of any kind either. There are days when "brush teeth" has to be a checklist item as I can easily go to bed without doing it. Same with eating even.
Yes, it's not as common as those words. But going from zero use outside of legal documents - as a contrast to "minor children" or less precisely "small children" - to a post-seventies psychobabble and recovery movment term of art is easy to read off that graph.

> The large box carrying Ghosn was never x-rayed or checked by customs officials, because it was too big to fit inside the x-ray machine

The security theater we have to go through in the airport is just that: a pathetic security theater. You have a large box, that's definitively something that you gotta check. If you can't x-ray it, then at least open it?

The rationale is that the employer gives you a lot of knowledge and tools which you could use to your own benefit... there are clear cases of abuse, some leading to litigation. I guess the employers want to defend themselves against IP theft basically.
