I highly recommend the Kinesis Advantage2 keyboard. I was experiencing shoulder, forearm, and wrist pain with almost every other keyboard I tried. It's expensive and takes some getting used to, but I have not had shoulder, forearm, wrist pain, or pain in the joints of my hand since I started using mine. Now that I am used to it I can't go back to using a more traditional keyboard.

How extensible do I want a web browser to be? I have 1password and adguard but otherwise I'm not that interested in loading stuff in that can read all my browsing (e.g. grammar.ly...I just learnt to write instead). There's enough spyware as it is.

Safari is pretty fast and very good on battery life. I like that it has the same bookmark store and accessible tabs across devices.

And there isn't a lot of alternative. Firefox is slow. Chrome is a memory and performance pig; I run it only if I happen to use a google service for some reason and don't let it save any state.
lol, you're the one claiming a very non intuitive thing - that one's goals don't depend on tastes and preferences, if you can't back up that claim by anything then just say so. no need to weasel out with "don't waste my time".

one of my goals is to visit nepal. tell me how is that objective?
> "Toxic" is just a catchier-sounding synonym for "harmful."

It’s more subtle than that. “Toxic” is used as a synonym for “irredeemably harmful”, and that very distinction makes all the difference. If a person is labeled a “jerk”, they are potentially redeemable and able to be reformed, but if someone is labeled as “toxic”, the label itself declares that there is no helping them. The label itself prescribes ostracism.
Now you're just shifting goal posts into absurdity and dodging the central point of the previous response, which isn't that the U.S should invade Cuba because of its awful, repressive, impoverishing government, but that despite all sorts of excuses for how Cuba was "saved" from U.S exploitation by the Castro regime, that regime still mismanaged it terribly in fundamental ways. Had the Cubans stuck to the sort of government that existed before Castro 8and it definitely was a corrupt, repressive government as well), they'd still have been better off by now due to evolving economic changes and entry into the wider open markets of the world.
Wrong. Societies have dealt with far worse situations and managed to survive. Societal cohesion is what prevents anarchy in the long run, not avoiding natural disasters.
You would never want to use a big platform that had no moderation, the quality would be shit. For a small, niche platform, it's fine, but as platforms grow they get filled with 13 year-olds posting garbage, which someone has to clean up to avoid driving away other users.
You're uninformed. Resources are unequivocally dwindling. No question about it. It doesn't matter that there are only seven billion humans. We're consuming resources and we're doing so incredibly quickly.

How much oil was in the ground 100 years ago versus today? You'll counter that we'll switch to solar. I agree. But do you know how long and costly such a switch will be? Water is not a problem because we have seawater? Do you know the struggles with desalination and how expensive it is?

The main take away here isn't just that resources are dwindling. You need to understand that 100 years ago, you could just stick a single pipe in the ground and get massive amounts of oil. The EROI for oil was over 1200. It basically came free. In 1950 it was 60. Now it's around 1.6. Once it drops below one, it makes no sense to extract it. Whether or not oil "still exists" is moot.

And this is the big point: all the cheap seats are taken. All the easy resources have been used and we are scraping the bottom of the barrel for what's remaining. Even renewable resources have been swept clean. Less than 10% of big fish are left in the ocean. Yes, we can switch to fish farming but it will take a while, be much more expensive and produce a lot less fish. Hydroponics? Really? Do you know how expensive that would be? If you were shipwrecked on a desert island, you would just say, "It's fine! I'll just mine some iron and make a ship! And if I get thirsty I'm surrounded by ocean water!" It's simply not that easy.

You don't seem concerned. It's probably because you're wealthy. This is a threat to the poorest of those seven billion, and it's a big threat. Don't be such a Pollyanna when it's about their lives.

The way you're presenting the "both sides" of "FOX/OAN" vs everyone else sounds like you are presenting the FOX/OAN perspective that the media has a liberal bias and they are the counter.

The truth is much more nuanced: https://www.adfontesmedia.com/static-mbc/

Most of your listed 'left' news sources only "skew left" but focus mostly on "fat reporting". Compared to FOX/OAN who are "hyper partisan right" and focus on "selectve, incomplete, unfair persuasion, propaganda, and other issues"

When the most important facts of the day (electoral fraud, climate change, pandemic health and safety, vaccinations) have a "liberal bias" - in that the left is on the side of factual reality, and the right is on the side of unfounded conspiracy theories, you simply can't compare the news media the way you have.

There were laws that Reagan did away with about the so-called fairness of political television broadcasting, which might explain how those shows got more popular. However, I think politics and news generally have been of a rabid tenor since forever.

You don't even need a doomsday scenario. The Landless Workers Movement[0] has existed in Brazil for decades and it basically consists of large groups of people forcefully occupying private land. It ain't pretty when it gets violent (and it does).

I don't fully understand the legal issues myself. But it appears that when Brittney Spears was put into a mental ward in 2008, her father + lawyer was granted "Conservatorship" and therefore was placed in charge of Britney Spears and all of her assets. There's a court case going on right now about whether or not this conservatorship should end.

I'd talk more about the subject, but that's all I'm willing to say in my current state of (mostly) ignorance. The idea of one adult (Britney's Father) literally owning another adult's assets (Britney Spears's stuff) is still around, especially when combined with mental health + court cases of the modern life.

So people on HN suffer from memory loss?

'hyoerliveral boogeyman' is actually a very accurate description of the pervasive and ongoing censorship across platforms, service providers, and many others.

What else do you call the complete removal of parler?

The on going suppression of covid news?

The ongoing suppression of even discussing the 2020 election fraud?

Facebook warning people that they are being exposed to extremism?

There are many more to list, in sure I'll get nitpicks, and silent down votes -- my comment is likely auto dead because HN canceled my opinion long ago, and not for any policy violation, simply because I speak with truth and conviction.

HN is mostly propaganda.
Lab theory people were called conspiracy theorists this exact same time last year. Now they're on mainstream fucking tv. And don't you dare mention china or you'd be labelled a trump fan. Now that's cool cuz uncle joe okayed it.

If anything, this shows the zombies that the people are. Anything TV says is truth. A stupid short report from an online magazine made some late show host make a short skit about it and boom, like wild fire. I call total bs on that whole thing. This entire COVID response has been political from DAY 1. Western countries response has not only been shameful, but absolutely reprehensibly.
Let’s say you need to reflect 1% of the light reaching the earth’s disc. If you’re using solar sail like devices with an average areal density of 10 g/m² and you have launch cost of $10 per kilogram (using LEO figures because devices made really lightweight can actually move themselves around with pressure from sunlight)… about $150 billion in launch costs. Material/spacecraft costs are a big question mark and can vary by 5-6 orders of magnitude, so let’s say it’s $10/kg, for a total of $300 billion.

Still sub optimal compared to other solutions but it’s possible we may need to try something like that.
I think you presuppose that the abuse is in the past and not the present. My dad actively emotionally abused me, regularly insulted my wife, and tried to destroy my relationship with my mother. By necessity he made it a choice between a relationship with him and a relationship with my mom. My estrangement wasn't about something I remembered, it was about him being terrible to me when I was 25 and didn't need him for support or money anymore.
You are of course free to create a platform that only removes illegal content, just as Twitter or YouTube is free to to remove content they don't like.

But I think you'd find two problems: determining what could be illegal is really hard (what's a "true threat" and what's a tasteless joke?), and also you'd end up with a community that looks a lot like 4chan or parler. Not a place I would choose to hang out.
I've been thinking of it in terms of convergence, maybe they're all converging on the identical "optimal" social network.
Statistically speaking insanely improbable. ~5m people and thousands of Americans visit Iran every year. Unless you're a anti-govt journalist or intelligence related you have nothing to worry about.

N.B. the argument that Iran will falsely label you a 'spy' feels weak to me given the order of magnitude of such detentions in recent history is in the tens. It would be equally improbably that most of these detentions were false positives as plenty of foreign intelligence operations happen in any country. Especially given the amount of foreign-intelligence related sabotage in recent Iranian history.
Consumers objecting to content is as old as television, and even older, and is certainly not owned by "hyperliberals."

For example, Conservatives demanded radio stations stop playing the Beatles, and, only slightly more recently, the Dixie Chicks. They called up advertisers as well.

You could probably find people complaining to artists' patrons in Medieval texts, if you looked.
> CrowdTangle’s engagement data has shown for quite some time that links from ultra-right commentators like logic troll Ben Shapiro, former NRATV goon Dan Bongino, and bloviating Fox News host Sean Hannity

These are just mainstream Republican pundits. What exactly makes something ultra-right? As far as I can tell, these three are basically just liberals. Are liberals considered to be ultra-right now?

The article seems to take it as a de facto problem that this content performs better, and is evidence of Facebook itself being complicit in it. My own interpretation is that Facebook is actually a left leaning company, and that they're taking down the analytics because they're ashamed that "right wing" content does better on their platform.

I'm not sure I see the problem, beyond what we already know, which is that political echo chambers on social media are cancer. Do you think the same author looks at Twitter and thinks of it as an ultra-left cesspool? I highly doubt it. The only "Ben Shapiro problem" is that the author, and Facebook, don't like Ben Shapiro.
This is as it should be IMO. When you position yourself to be a de-facto public square, you shouldn't get to selectively operate like a private club when it suits you.
They (Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, even Reddit) act so very much like publishers that it seems to me the mistake was granting "platform" protections to sites that: claim broad rights over posted content; use complex logic to decide what to promote (that they promote anything is alarming, for a "platform"!) and what a visitor sees while also hosting and distributing that content they're highlighting or promoting (which makes them distinct from some rando's best-of lists on their personal website, linking to content hosted elsewhere); place ads alongside content but sometimes choose not to; and, at times, engage in revenue sharing. And that's before we even get into the censorship.
Though most (all?) do support enterprise policies via GPO that would cover the vast majority of enterprise use cases.

Aha! But had the Xanadu folks showed up every day, they might have created something more than vaporware, and people might've used their software!

From the linked Wikipedia article:

> Wired magazine published an article called "The Curse of Xanadu", calling Project Xanadu "the longest-running vaporware story in the history of the computer industry".[3] The first attempt at implementation began in 1960, but it was not until 1998 that an incomplete implementation was released. A version described as "a working deliverable", OpenXanadu, was made available in 2014.
> After years of studying it, I believe that cryptocurrency is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology built primarily to amplify the wealth of its proponents through a combination of tax avoidance, diminished regulatory oversight and artificially enforced scarcity.

That "right-wing" label probably relates to this:

> Cryptocurrency is like taking the worst parts of today's capitalist system (eg. corruption, fraud, inequality) and using software to technically limit the use of interventions (eg. audits, regulation, taxation) which serve as protections or safety nets for the average person.

What the author fails to consider is the rate at which the world's governments are seizing ever more power for themselves. The lack of regulation (or regulatability) in Bitcoin is viewed by many (clearly none that the author has interacted with) as a technological safety valve against a state in the process of iterating with gusto on Acton's maxim.

That safety valve will appeal to some, but others not so much. It is unfair to smear all users with the same brush.
Its pretty clear these platforms are not Neutral.

Facebook literally set up vote drop boxes to maximize number of votes in precincts that heavily favour democrats in last election. They also banned a sitting president. So why even bother pretending they are neutral, when the evidence is pretty clear that they set out to sway elections. You can watch the Sergey Brim upset video after Trump won in 2016.

I don't have problem with them having a side. And acting honestly and openly or even making one sided campaign contributions.

I have a problem with a reinforcing circle, where they censor to help elect a government which then rewards their censorship with contracts. At that point they become state actors, censoring on behalf of the state. and I think this is the real issue. And I think we are pretty much there.
Even if you factor in investment returns you're not getting the full picture IMO unless you take into account price increases over time as well.

A common refrain is that Carnegie Hall only cost $1M ($29,581,868.13 when adjusted for inflation) to build, so why do we still credit its founder with their name? Shouldn't we rename it in honor of someone who's contributed more to the Hall?

What this doesn't take into account is what it would cost to _build_ a new Carnegie Hall today. Labor is far more expensive (highest $/hr ever in 2019 if I'm not mistaken [1]) today and so are building materials [2].

So it's true he'd see compounding returns from investing, but to do what they did back then would cost significantly more today. IE, their dollars took them further back then.

Also, worth noting Rockefeller donated 6% of his salary to charity every pay check every single year of his life, not just when he could "afford" it [3]. So if you take into account the _missed_ compound returns of those charitable contributions, you can start to get a sense for just otherworldly their charitable efforts were.

Not trying to say these guys were angels. And yet, as rich as they were, I think too often that overshadows the gargantuan contributions to charity they made.

Well said though to clarify the reason why you wait 40 minutes at the gate is probably because you have to calculate some extra per each step leading to it. You can't be sure you'll make it in 5 minutes per check in, security and walk to the gate. Also, the added cost in time and money of missing a plane is quite high compared to missing a train e.g. in Europe, so that further increases the buffer you add to the process.
She also very strongly condemned what happened on Jan 6 and blamed Trump for it. She's right on both fronts.

> It's impossible to build any medium to high complexity software by working on it for 5 mins a day.

Both of the books I wrote, one of which includes two complete implementations of a programming language, were mostly written in sessions of less than an hour. Occassionally I get longer ones and very often they are much shorter.

Learning to task switch and suspend efficiently is also a really valuable skill that improves with practice. I have kids, so if I couldn't make progress while being interrupted, I'd never be able to do anything.
> Same way that when you open a store you can't pick and choose your customers.
But you can mostly pick and choose your customers outside of discriminating against a protect class (in the US). If you don't want to do business with people with brown hair, no one is stopping you.

"genetic information" is a protected class, so you could not discriminate against anyone based on their natural hair color. You could however ban people with blue hair.

edit:
Even if genetic information doesn't work for hair color. "Color" is already a protected class, so it's a moot point.

The thing about abuse is that it has to be excessive or misuse of some power. Generally, mental abuse should require that the person being abused say that they don't like whatever is being said and for what is being said to be objectively meant to harm them (serve no legitimate purpose, phrased vulgarly). If it does serve a legitimate purpose and was delivered in a decent way, then I don't see how that could be abuse. That is protected speech. Forcing someone else from expressing their views just because someone else doesn't like it would then also fall under mental abuse and restriction of of their protected speech.

The thing about Twitter is that they had rules that Trump was breaking regularly; and invented an entirely new "world leaders policy"[0] and "public interest policy"[1] to justify not banning him. They even exempted him from DMCA repeat-infringer policies[2] when music artists started taking down his tweets with their music in them. Had Twitter not intervened on January 9th, Trump would have been gotten banned anyway when he left office, purely because of him no longer being an elected politician.

My personal opinion is that even if the thing that gets banned or removed finds an audience (and it will), it's still a good idea for any platform - from a tiny webforum to a billions-strong social network - to have speech rules that are fair and reasonably enforced. It's not fun to be on a platform where a handful of celebrities and politicians (incl. Trump) are regularly flouting rules you have to follow.

Furthermore, I'd much rather be in a community in which the loudest and most obnoxious users are shown the door, purely for my own sanity. Free-for-alls stop being fun when they outgrow their original userbase.

As someone in the market for a crossover SUV, I think the competitor isn’t the Mach-E but the VW id.4.

In my case the VW dealership and Tesla Service are both 5 minutes from me. I’m leaning VW because of CarPlay and the rear windshield of the Model Y has visibility problems.

I think the “cheap interior” refers to Tesla’s sparse cabins and use of plastic. Playing games or watching videos on my infotainment system doesn’t make much sense to me.
Given this logic if America had a policy of throwing everyone with blond hair in jail for "hair crimes" you would conclude it is a fairer system than Japan's if Japanese-Americans had a lower incarceration rate than Japanese people in Japan.

That's some heroic effort in defense of America's high incarceration rate.

What is the risk to EA if this becomes public? Competitors will study it to learn new techniques?

Can the code be compiled without EA's internal tools? If it could, what kind of hardware would you need? And wouldn't it be much easier to pirate the games otherwise?

No competitor is going to dare try to copy parts of it and sell it. In fact, I would guess that some are telling their developers: Don't look at it even if it's right in front of your nose; we want no question of IP issues.
