Agreed. That’s the low hanging fruit. Question is where we go from there:

Allowing for content moderation opens the door to selective bias. On the other hand, a “hands off” approach can lead to its own form of content extremism.

The ability to post anonymously (at least anonymously to other users) will come into the conversation as well.
Our strategy here is to share sessions to the web, so collaborators don't need to download the app. It's fascinating how far utilities like screen will get you in functionality, but I agree it's really hard to get people on there.
There's a startup doing this :-)

... but it's not. The entire purpose of that amendment was to prevent congress from passing laws which infringe on your rights, and Twitter is definitely not the congress or the government.

The USA is a capitalist society. If there is a market for an "uncensored" social media platform, the invisible hand of the market will take care of it, right? Even so, you yourself are likely pro-censorship in some way. Surely you are against child porn being on Twitter, likely along with discussion about planning mass shootings, bombings, and things of that nature. We all have a line that is drawn between what is acceptable and what is not.
> investment in public commons

Investment in commons is something rich societies do. If we're predicated on a collapse hypothesis, the rich will focus on survival and power. That returns us to a zero-growth, zero-sum environment, which almost linearly leads to militarization. (If I have a choice between investing in research or buying munitions, and I believe society is about to collapse, I do the latter.) Between an army and a law defining XYZ as a common good, the army wins.
If we'd been more sensible on nuclear 20 years ago, it could have made a huge difference. Nuclear plants are very expensive to build, and can take decades from planning to commissioning (at least in the west) - I wonder if it's simply too late for nuclear now?
Speed is an issue in many domains, for example graphics applications and games, embedded systems and scientific computing.
I’ve had two bosses/mentors who aspired to write project management books. Then they would tell me the thesis and I would think, “What? No, that’s not why we are effective.”

Nobody sees the times you didn’t fall down. Someone swooped in and fixed something before it broke. Maybe just in the nick of time, maybe far ahead. The forward thinking person is important to that process. If your management skills may keep that person around or drive them away, then that’s material to your discussion. If it’s neutral, then there’s a whole lot of iceberg below the surface that you’re not seeing.

People can copy your theory and totally fail because they can’t motivate the people who keep the wheels on.
The best thing about being an ME at Boeing is working with the old guys who knew what they were doing.
twitter is way better than most social platforms in terms of being open and be able to view the content with out logging in.
I think the main purpose of blocking is to prevent you from engaging with the said user / tweet. if you really don't want your tweets to be made public you can make the account private and only allow your followers
> “butt” is a feature in payroll land

Cloud-to-butt extension? :D

Great initiative; UK payroll systems are indeed a mess. Wishing you the best of luck - you clearly have the skills and experience to make a success of this clear gap in the market. I’m familiar with Monzo’s engineering and cultural standards, and hope you carry those to this startup too.
I have a phone capable of 4K60, and I never use it, unless my goal is to fill up my phone's storage as quickly as possible.

And I've seen reports that the M1 can handle RED RAW 4K footage with just 8G of RAM, and only stutters on 8K. Snazzy Labs even claims that it actually scrubs the timeline smoother than this $10,000 Mac Pro ever did, the only failing is 50% longer render times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY-S9EuJ5Xs&t=474s

So this once again proves that the M1 defies our standard expectations and measurements of computer processing power.
It would've been so easy to avoid this, even in the internet age, by just replacing the actual tickers with made up names...
To be honest I know next to nothing about Myanmar<->India relations. Everyone has been suggesting that the new Myanmar government is closely related to China, so I was substituting in the China<->India relations.
A tip for those on Firefox. The paywall takes a second or two to activate so I worked out that once it comes up if you hit F5 to refresh and wait for the text to appear and then immediately go into reader view you can usually beat the script. Boom! No paywall.
That's a great conclusion. Sadly the way it's usually felt is through entitlement. I can't count the number of time where I've seen an electron/Flutter/anything app presented, and Mac users are once again asking for a native app while pretending to not understand why the app is cross platform in the first place.

If they're so attached to native apps, maybe they should build a website/community where people ready to pay more for native apps can say they want for example a native client for slack, discord, spotify, and then the companies can see if it's viable or not.

My problem is that these complaints are exactly like "the back button is broken", it doesn't bring anything new or interesting to talk about, people never propose to help a project or to pay money for new features, they just complain and never stop. This isn't good content for Hacker News in general.
Mastercard isn't Netflix. The amount of bandwidth is likely orders of magnitude less.
If we want to win the war on drugs going on for 50 years, things need to be regulated and controlled. Fun fact the American colonies only had the wealth to survive because of tobacco. They grew it everywhere they could, even the sides of the street in Jamestown. https://www.nps.gov/jame/learn/historyculture/tobacco-coloni...
The fact that this even needs to be stated makes it a hard no, especially for a terminal emulator.

Can you explain your objection in more detail? It seems like a terminal offering some kind of real-time collaboration with team members is a reasonable thing to offer, and that if you have that feature then it's good that it's opt-in with encrypted data.
Why would I want to _watch_ someone's fleeting thoughts when their written tweets serve literally the same purpose?
Historical rate of improvement is significantly faster.

50% improvement in energy density over 10 years would be more conservative than most estimates, which range considerably but none I could find were worse than that:

Just share the screen/tmux session on a server. We already had realtime collaboration.
The funny thing is fast terminal rendering was a solved issue as far back as the mid 80's even on machines like the Amiga.

Yet people seem intent on inventing slow ways of doing it that then gets people to reinvent all kinds of complex ways of making it faster.

The performance differences between different terminals are indeed absolutely astounding (but rarely matters much, because the things that are much faster/slower are things you rarely do on purpose, like dumping thousands of lines to the terminal at once)
I put a translation in another comment. I don't think he makes them, or at least there's nothing that suggests that in the text. He's more of a collector.
…and I like when people aren’t constantly cynical and critical of everything, so thanks for finding something positive here.
You're describing what the algorithm tends to promote -- turning it off (the "latest tweets" feed) may give you a bit more variety.
That's what I don't understand, C++ has always been one of the most popular programming languages.
No, the person you're replying to is right: we've had decades and decades of warnings.

Small steps could have been taken 30 years ago but now it's too late for that.
There's a lot of stuff we buy every now and then between €1,000 and €2,000 (TV, computers, whatever). Not every month but still not something for which we should be scrutinised. Something around €10,000 would be better.
Ha ha I love this.

On one hand, you criticize systems thinkers and computer models as only slightly more convincing than religious fanatics even though we see climate change devastation first hand, and on the other, you invoke the power of the "invisible hand". The irony.
Not the state in general, just the ability to create money.
The state can still raise funds via taxation, but they need to be more careful in how it is spent, as it cannot be magic'd into existence.

Hmm, surely the oil industry has more and better lawyers and lobbyists? Generally the problem with nuclear has been that building old-style reactors is expensive and unattractive, while trying new approaches is caught between regulation that wasn't designed for them, and popular opinion that wants everything to be better without actually making any changes (at the level of power generation or personal reduction, really).
Are you sure you want to say that people who like comic books are hedonists? That’s an overly cut and dried argument and people aren’t nearly that simple. Isn’t it more charitable and accurate to suggest that people like what they like? I like running obscenely long distances. First, what business is it of yours how others spend their time? Second, what possibly qualifies you to claim people are hedonists because they like what they like??

There’s nothing wrong with recreation or having fun. Life is very short and no matter how hard you work or how much you learn, you’re going to die.

Live your life. Don’t let others call you names for being you. The converse is that when you don’t understand how others live, don’t call them hedonists. You just don’t understand because you’re you, not them.

If your original claim were true, then you'd also be saying that there is twice as much area at 2m above sea level as there is 1m above sea level, and infinitely more than at sea level. If you truly believe this, then I will be willing to make you a trade where I give you one tenth floor condo in exchange for 10 first floor condos.
Yes, there is work to be done. But I really really dislike the overpopulation and “tough decisions” narrative because:

1) It places the onus and blame on the people that are currently not the problem.

2) It implies that we must force people to have fewer kids, when evidence shows that women universally want to have fewer kids given the choice. We don’t need to coerce them, we need to help them.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe there is meaningful amounts of bandwidth available via satellite today. Even something like starlink today is just a bent pipe from ground station to ground station (and is super recent).

Whatever bandwidth is available would undoubtedly be quickly consumed if the land lines were cut...

Don't they also usually care if they can audit it?
As engineers, we encounter great (and poor) design choices via our consumption of APIs. Something that has well-chosen public interfaces can be a pleasure to use. At the very least, it does its job without calling attention to itself and allows us to move on with our day. A door is a great metaphor for this. Using a well-designed door isn't going to change your life; it's nothing to write home about. But a poorly-designed one can make someone want to pull their hair out, as is evident from the video. That pain is something engineers are acutely sensitive to as a result of using other peoples' APIs on a daily basis, so we're more prone to need to vent our frustration.

In addition, I once read (I forget where, maybe it was a Paul Graham essay) that part of the mentality of a programmer is the idea that we're lazy. In the sense that we're happy to spend a larger-than-usual amount of effort up-front to solve a problem, if doing so will mean we'll save time, effort, and energy in perpetuity which will more than offset the up-front cost of those things. I think the above comes into play for me when I encounter a Norman door. When I think about how easy it would be to solve the issue (remove the handle from the side on which you're meant to push), and the sum total of all the people day-in and day-out who are having the same problem as me with this door, it's mind-boggling that the door would have been designed this way in the first place. It indicates that whoever designed it saw their primary concern as being aesthetic in nature, as opposed to practical. To me, that's shirking one's responsibility as a designer. As Steve Jobs said[1], "Design is how it works."

One example: native document-based Mac apps have file handling functionality in the window's titlebar (rename, move, tag, etc). It's very convenient. Electron apps don't.

Another: native Mac apps by default reopen where you left off. Open windows, open documents, etc. Electron doesn't get this functionality automatically; you could spend time recreating it, but it still would integrate with native settings.

Another small example: native Mac UI controls reflect the system-wide accent color the user's selected. With Electron, you'd have to either spend time rebuilding the functionality or omit it.

Mac users like Macs because Macs work like Macs. Electron apps ignore the benefits and features Mac apps usually get automatically and just revert to the lowest common denominator.
The difficulty with questions like this is that we don't know what we don't know.

To put a fine point on it, we don't know if the concept of Pi is unique to us as humans.

If we accept the premise that we are not the only species to evolve science and technology, we are still left with the question of how other sentient species might get their maths differently from how we did it.

This idea gets explored a lot in science fiction. But we don't have enough of a handle on it to say anything interesting. It's just different levels of speculation and conjecture.

A single shut down of a platform can be written off as "for the children" or some other character assassination BS. When you start repeatedly attacking platforms that's when you get the moderates of your country to start taking umbridge.

I think a good parallel might be TikTok in the US, Trump was exploring banning the platform toward the end of his term without a particularly large pushback from the general populace (though a whole bunch of pushback from tech literate folks). You can use excuses like that a time or two without raising too many eyebrows, but once it becomes a pattern people get angry.

Having more smaller platforms makes it harder to effectively accomplish any censorship since your few shutdown freebies won't significantly impact the ability for political opponents to communicate with the public.
Physical systems don't really care how distasteful ideas are. I don't mean to be rude, at all, but facts are life isn't fair. Climate systems don't sit around arguing over the equitability of development rights based on who emitted carbon when.

Rich countries burned fossil fuels for 100+ years to develop. Does anyone think those countries are going to revert to much lower standards (somewhere between European and developing country standards) to give that same advantage to developing countries? Absolutely not.

EDIT: I want to be very clear before my edit window expires; I do not believe anyone should be forced not to have kids (although I would be onboard paying folks who choose not to have kids a direct transfer payment, just as it's not taboo to pay people to have kids and many governments do it). But I also believe no one should have one or many kids if their socioeconomic circumstances don't allow for it. We should absolutely strive to empower and educate women, as you mention this causes a natural decline in fertility rates [1].

In addition to Twenty and Food Lab already recommended, I'll mention Niki Segnit's books: Lateral Cooking and the Flavor Thesaurus. Lateral connects "adjacent" dishes -- you know of dish X, but Y is almost the same but from another food culture but everyone agrees on these basic things with just these slight pivots.

The Flavor Thesaurus does the same for ingredients -- you want to do something with figs, what dishes have figs in them, what complements them? The books cover the Western world, and Niki is the most witty writer among the dozens of culinary books I have.

Outside of that I like the "Perfect" columns by Felicity Cloak in the Guardian. Felicity takes a well-known dish and analyses all the differences in recipes, e.g. 6 cookbook authors have 6 different takes on coq au vin, what works best and how do they end up differently to each other? Like on Serious Eats, there's always well-spirited discussion.

I know exactly what this feels like. I have been making digital mini-magazines about music subgenres for years. I have never finished a single one. Shoegaze, Garage Rock, Post-Punk ... I always move on to a new issue before I'm even done with the first.

I want to already be the guy with a boring 9-5 by day, and a 'cool' punk historian by night. But I'm not, and the older I get the more I'm sure I won't ever be.

And yet I've been doing this for several years. Maybe I never finish them because I'm scared I'll feel the exact same way I did before I embarked on this hobby.

You assume that our current population is sustainable. Is it? We aren't living sustainable lives. Sure, this varies by country, but I believe this is globally true.

We are expected to peak well beyond our current level. Estimates are about 10-11 billion - a 25%+ increase.

A major problem with your infant mortality comment and consumption comment is that reducing infant mortality is also associated with modern lifestyles and an increase in consumption. Consumption patterns change as the mortality and fertility rates drop and economic opportunities increase. Our economies are built on consumerism and spending. We see this trend in developing nations today (you have to compare for various demographics, not just the country level).
