They started realizing this when HTTPS was becoming common thanks to Let’s Encrypt and slowly started removing any greenness and “Secure” label from the URL bar in favor of doing the opposite: marking insecure websites in red.

This last change is obvious and needed but was probably left as a last step because people have been taught to look for it at some point. Glad to see it gone, even just ‘cause Safari puts it in the middle of the URL bar and I keep clicking on it by mistake. Hopefully they’ll drop it to by 2024
For me personally there are aspects I don't like about myself that are clearly a result of how my parents raised me. As a much younger man I was bitter about this, but I came to realize that my parents are human and made some mistakes, but over all did sacrifice a lot for my and my sister's well being. I also realized we didn't do a lot to make raising us any easier. So rather than remain resentful towards them, I just let it go and started working to fix the things about me I didn't like.
I think beating two opponents is a myth at best for any Art - especially if they know what they’re doing.
Being able to set retention would make me feel better about tweeting.

You can do some of this with third party tools, but it'd be nice to have it built in. I stopped liking Tweets though because it's actually impossible to remove more than 3k old likes. I was eventually able to do so, but it required contacting their DPO office and having them reset the cache each time so I could remove them in batches (entire process of reaching out, getting a response, and iterating took 6weeks-ish).

Limiting quote-tweets would also help people since most of the abuse comes from quote-tweeting rather than replies (which you can already limit).

I'm not twitter famous so I mostly only experience the good aspects of twitter.

If you have a highly curated feed and make an effort to interact pleasantly with in-good-faith people it can be a really great place. It requires aggressive blocking and intentionally not following hostile people though.
Some better blocking tools would probably also be helpful (block everyone who liked this tweet, etc.)

I'd also love a YouTube Premium style twitter where I could pay $10/month for no ads.

It's cool they have the culture to ship something big like this and decide to pivot - I think that's a pretty good sign.

That, and the "news." If you watch CNN/MSNBC/NBC/CBS/ABC/PBS you are led to think that anyone who supports Republicans is the devil and only show things that support that viewpoint. You rarely see them agree with anything the Republican put forth. If you watch FOX/OAN or other similar networks, you are led to think that anyone who supports the Democrats are the devil. You rarely see anything in a positive light. It's as though each side is incapable of doing anything the other side might also agree with. The extremist language on all networks has gone into overdrive. It's interesting if you take a few weeks and watch all sides, as unbiased as you can, and listen to the names and language they use towards each other. They are chalk full of specific buzzwords, which are inflammatory. Seriously, transcribe them and look at the unnecessary adjectives used to "tell a story." Count them. Hundreds uttered every 30 minutes. It's a ratings show for them, but ripping the rest of us apart.

FWIW I explicitly said "Ender's Game series". I think you're also redefining "plot point" to just be "plot". A plot point is simply an event that impacts what happens next. The reveal of FTL data happens late in the book but it is definitely both a plot point and a plot device.

For the greater series though, it's basically the core concept of the story arc's plot.
I think verbal abuse in particular is getting more deserved attention than it has in the past.
"Grown children" is interesting if you look at google books cites - it more typically meant children older than infants than someone's children that have reached adulthood.

"Offspring", maybe, but you can look at the differences in use and decide for yourself. It might confound you to find that "adult offspring" is less common than "adult children" but follows the same shifts in use and a similar ngram pattern.
It's not that hard to imagine scenarios over the next few decades in which we find ways to use resources far more efficiently (e.g., improved battery technology, improved factory-made meats/foods), find ways to extract far greater resources from space (e.g., improved solar technology, asteroid mining), and/or find ways to expand the resources available to us (e.g., establishing colonies on Mars, or in space).
If you want to end up with the normal retirement strategy you probably want to simulate regular contributions and occasional emergency withdrawals.

If you just have a simulated pile of money and want it to go up, but don't actually need it in the meantime, then the risk isn't important and diversifying too much will just guarantee you lose. The usual math in MPT makes strange assumptions like a normal distribution anyway, so it thinks an asset is bad if it has too much upside risk.

Great, make your account private then… or do you want all the benefits of a completely public account without any of the costs? I’m not suggesting blocked people should be able to interact with your content, just that they can still read it. This applies especially to information being disseminated by government.

I use twitter daily and fleets was nothing more than an annoyance to me. I would click on someone's profile picture to view their profile, and it would automatically make me view their fleets instead. Even after watching them (or skipping through to the end), I would click it again and it would still take me to their fleets. Getting to their profile took several taps on tiny sections of the screen instead. The UX was pretty terrible imo and made me frustrated more than anything.

I like the idea of fleets, but I think it was implemented poorly. They just copied the same 'story' format that's been recycled 100x over. I think an alternative exists out there, twitter will just have to be a little more creative.
Rockefeller's wealth was ~420 billion (inflation adjusted) at its peak. That's significantly more than Bezos and Gates combined. So no, Standard Oil won't look like a lifestyle business compared to FAANG giants. You can make a point without using hyperbole.

> also control the infrastructure running a huge portion of the internet

AWS has less market share than Microsoft. The Cloud is a pretty competitive space.

> are working on creating a new ISP

This is great, look what Google Fiber did to fiber availability in the US. More competition is great in this space.

I find it ironic that you're complaining about FAANGs in the context of ISPs, who control literal monopolies in several regions.
I am an architect at a "prestigious" midwest consulting firm without a formal IT background. It would take me 6 months of prep to pass a FAANG interview, and that's from a starting point of knowing virtually everything I don't know.

AND I am only talking about the algorithm and behavioral parts of the interview and working on the assumption that I will pass any general questions on system design, ML, etc.

Other than the CS degree, you are also make a 130+ IQ assumption here.

I think the article really under-emphasizes the role of capitalism in this. If I need help with my kid, I don’t call my mom, I hire a babysitter. If my mom needs medical help, she won’t call me, she’ll pay a nurse. Goods and services that used to be procured through social bonds are now procured with cash - which creates a feedback loop where people then neglect their social bonds to acquire more cash.

It'd be more efficient to have a twitter mode where you can only ever tweet, and not read anything other people tweet.
Except with C++ you have a compiler to tell you your code is broken. With Python you have to use MyPy which isn't perfect or write tests with 100% code coverage. I've never seen 100% code coverage...
Yeah I agree. For software I find the major infrastructure laying and overhauling should be done in "torrent" blocks of several hours to a full day, while incremental bugfixes and feature add-ons can be done by daily short amounts of time.
Not OP, but a fan of Warp.

> I - and I get the impression that's true for many developers - learned early to minimize the custom config.

I get the exact opposite impression. My understanding is that as developers become more experienced, they tune their setup more, and have more and more persisted customizations. I consider sshrc[1] a critical part of my workflow for this reason.

> But why would one need that? Is your environment that random?

Most shells by default will occasionally spew out "garbage" text into the terminal like ^[[A. If you know why this happens it's possible to fix, but it's definitely a pain. Personally I consider it very important that all the places that I input text work consistently (e.g. move cursor by word, move cursor to end of line) and Warp providing that is a huge selling point to me.

The OP's advice is reasonable for pre product-market fit startups/businesses. You're adding a lot of risk for very little benefit if you go all in on a product that doesn't exist yet or that customers don't want.

Plus most people never ship anything, which this advice helps to fix.
If you're using Twitter on a desktop browser, I made an extension which by default removes everything but what the people you're following are actually saying or commenting on, and automatically switches you back to the chronological timeline when Twitter tries to move you back to the algorithmic timeline:

They are not forced to do anything but live up to the contract they signed.
They should just have been normal tweets that disappear after X hours. No special location, no visual treatment, etc. Just ephemeral tweets that don't stick around forever on your profile.

That would have gotten people tweeting when they might have been afraid to otherwise. That would have been the appropriate equivalent of the features they were inspired by on other platforms.
> [0] The 90+ study: https://mind.uci.edu/research-studies/90plus-study/

This plasticity idea is really neat.
Anecdotal and I don’t know the correlation holds up, but my one grandmother was very set in her habits and particularly mindset and died early of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. My other grandmother is flexible of mind and is still kicking it at 90+.

I’m wondering which way the causality goes. Whether there is something physical which makes people more open minded and wandering whereas others are more closed which eventually leads to more brain diseases. So in the end the open mindedness / flexibility is just another indirect indicator.
I found pruning and cultivating collections of 'good' twitter accounts just too much work for what it was worth.

The accounts are all run by human (well I hope they are) and all prone to the same problems that make me not like Twitter ...

At least most folks maintain some focus on the topic / decorum on their blog or in a random article. Most seem incapable of ignoring the attention you get from being a jerk or typical twitter drama and etc.

Of course they also require full unencrypted access to the data. If the company doesn't surrender the keys to the server data, they can just switch the server off.
> The platform ends up being collateral damage in some political war they never cared about in the first place and they can never win because no matter who they bend too, it automatically enrages the other side.

To me, the fact that they don't care about it is the problem. Those companies are having issues because they have no moral or ethical compass. It's become untenable for them to remain neutral because there is no neutral actor in this scenario. There's never going to be a service that's not held to a moral standard for their content regardless of what the law says.
Hey! I got the book after reading your comment. Great book, exactly what I was looking for.
The trouble with cooling eggs is that when you stop, moisture from the air condensates on them and wets their shells which may let bacteria develop.

So it's safer (from European point of view) to never cool them on supply chain but after bringing them home put them in the fridge and take them out immediately before eating when condensation is not a problem anymore.

They obviously last longer in the fridge than out of it. But since they are sold quickly it's not worth to refrigerate them before they are in the hands of consumers.
Show HN: Graphical ETL Based on JSONata
Dashjoin is an open source platform that allows you to easily extract, load, and transform (ETL) data into a database of your choice.

>Many millennials are the tipping point

Millennials are way worse off than previous generations by many metrics, that's why so many of them are angry. The tipping point already happened.
Ex: I have a (former) coworker who told me his life story. He's homosexual and his parents sent him multiple times to gay conversion therapy. Learning to accept himself for who he is required him to leave his parents: because they would not accept a homosexual child.

No sexual abuse or physical abuse in this story, but its pretty clear that he's healthier for leaving his parents.

IIRC, he's an only child as well. I'm not sure if he'll be willing to take care of his parents as they get older.
I didn't even know about "Fleets", maybe that was part of the problem.
What do you think of the growing research on other obesogenics? and of populations that have had excessive carb intake for a long, long time? I think many things seem more probable than just carbs and PUFAs.

I do agree the author's have taken some leaps. Leaps have to be taken as there is imperfect data to support any theory on the obesity epidemic, but I agree that leaps should be better acknowledged.

The company doesn't find anything objectionable. It's the Who (a political org that has nothing to do with science) that is dictating what YouTube should do. YouTube and other technocrats believe that can tell people how and what they should think. With that being said, forcing a private company with state violence is not good either, unfortunately there's no magic wand to wave and reset everything. We shouldn't be pragmatic, but we have to be practical.
> But at least in the US it has also very much deepened the racial and (obviously) religious lines between people.

Not clear at all. Catholics for example are the most likely group to marry interracially.

Religiously, I don't see the christian sects as very divided, despite their many differences. There seems to be a large set of common ground.

Even amongst religions, there is a lot of good will. I can't think of any widespread religious riot in the US (I could totally be wrong though).

It sounds like a lot of those people are cutting those parenta off to make their own lives better. Not to punish parents.

They have choice of being estraged and happier, under less stress and less pressure. Or keep contact and have to deal with manipulation, stress and so on.

Finally, adulthood also means that you know that not just intent matter. The people are affected by consequences of your actions regardless if intent. Too many people write about this as if once you have good goal, you dont have to learn more or think what you are doing. As long as you dont care to check whether you might cause harm, you dont get any responsibility dor what you do.
This is what caused me to cut the cord with my parents. My father is a massive criminal, got himself into prison for a large part of my formative years, never said I love you. Mother is untreated borderline, was emotionally abusive my entire life.

I spent years of my adulthood trying to find a way to reconcile with them and the conclusion I came to was it's not your burden to suffer for your parents' sins. They will change or won't change of their own volition. But you deserve to survive and thrive in kindness.

So much of ourselves is steeped in the company we keep. Choose the company that fosters the better, kinder, wiser you.

One of the nice things about a pull-based model (polling) is that you are in control of throughput. Need to process events more slowly? Increase the polling interval. It’s impossible to achieve the same thing with push-based (webhooks), you are at the mercy of the producer’s rate of webhook delivery. I had this issue a few years ago with a queue-as-a-service that sent jobs via webhook - the queue would intermittently drain extremely quickly, sending thousands of requests per second, which totally overwhelmed our poor single Heroku dyno.

One big issue with the pull-based model though is with concurrency. If you have multiple workers polling an API endpoint for new data, you need to synchronise the ‘last seen’ ID or timestamp across all workers. Otherwise, worker A and worker B might pull the same data and you could end up with duplicates. There’s no silver bullet here, either model requires work to harden against edge cases.
Losing weight, there's never been a day I felt perceptibly different from the day before, but looking back a year some things are certainly easier or more comfortable already after about 80lbs. Slow by most measures but that has its own benefits.
Considering there is probably going to be discounts for large integrators, and that price adds up to $720/year - if this actually does replace upgrade costs - it might be worth to some companies.

You're probably right, but care to name some examples? I can't think of a single blog or article about failed companies or projects.I think they would be interesting to read and dissect.

It seems that people who have that sort of persistence and choose to do something are quite rare, making the survivorship bias of posting successes even harder to balance out.
