Many dark pattern designers, would claim 'bad design' as the excuse. Its hard to read intent, and hard not to suspect malicious intent when there is a cash value on the upside of the 'bad design'.

I have another one - when you pay cash at a machine, and it does not give you the best change, but gives you the heaviest change. Oh and 4-way traffic management guaranteed to cause a huge traffic jam in the name of health and safety, when cars and drivers (and pedestrians) would better manage the road themselves without any assistance. (I suspect the traffic management is training for us to get used to degrading of the roads, so that 'self-driving' cars are able to navigate diversions cos of the traffic lights.)
To anybody with a cynical view of Iran and its people I highly recommend watching this fairly recent documentary about a British guy riding a motorcycle through the country. The people seem like some of the most friendly in the world.

I believe Zignal (which is sort of CrowdTangle for Twitter) provides a variable in their API for "likelihood they are a bot" which is direct from Twitter -- so Twitter often knows the account is a bot, but much less often takes action.
The first sentence in my comment above defines the scope and limits of my liability.
I think it was inevitable that these platforms would start having content restrictions once they shifted to using machine-learning algorithms tuned to maximize each user's engagement.

For a significant fraction of users, the most engaging content will be psychologically manipulative - conspiracy theories, racism, political intrigue, and the like. I see the combination of an engagement machine and such content ethically problematic, but I don't think they're going to turn off the extremely-profitable engagement machine unless forced to, so they restrict content instead.

The trouble is the engagement machine is sophisticated, while the content restrictions are crude. This probably isn't sustainable in its current form, but there aren't easy answers to the problem. A sophisticated "bad" content suppression algorithm sounds pretty dystopian to me.
The site looks nicely designed, but one bit of (hopefully) constructive feedback is that you might want to run through some of the phrasing/grammar of the copy on the site with a native English speaker, as they diminish a bit from the perceived value even though the rest of the site is really nice. Some examples that sound a bit odd:

- "How does the recruitment process look like?" vs. "What does the recruitment process look like?"

- "no matter where she or he was born. " vs. the commonplace "no matter where they were born."

- "The talent of such the highest tier is traditionally a headhunting material" vs. "Such top-tier talent is traditionally headhunting material" (I don't actually know if "headhunting material" is a term used in recruiting, but I'm assuming it is).

These phrases don't dilute the content of the site, but getting a native English speaker to go over the wording of the site would help add that extra bit of polish.
Lisp? Smalltalk? One Laptop Per Child? Maybe not exactly the things you are looking for?
YouTube! My YouTube recommendations are always full of food stuff, so I just passively learn new foods/techniques as I browse the website.

I recommend you check out Ethan Chlebowsk's channel in particular. His recipes are pretty damn tasty, while remaining approachable to the average joe.

British here, everyone i know keeps eggs in the fridge. I assumed if they weren't kept in fridge they would go off, but now i actually think about it they aren't in fridges in the shop...

It does say on the box though to refrigerate after purchase so i have no idea... WWhy is my house different to shop?
Yes, you are right, but until the antitrust problem is solved, it is a content policy problem.
Yes. Not so much a punishment as a responsibility that comes with the position. The state isn’t special: if you have deep and fundamental influence over the lives of others, you are burdened with certain responsibilities. Who cares if youtube is a private company, and it’s not liking forcing them to respect rights is hurting their pocket book: if you have that much power over people, you are held accountable.

This idea that private companies earn special privileges in this regard because they were started by individuals needs to die.
You can use Homebrew and MacPorts concurrently. I will always choose the MacPorts version of a tool given the option and only fall back to a Homebrew version when absolutely have no other choice. It's frustrating to have to use two tools but I've found it easier to keep my dev environment clean this way.
Seems about right for HN comments, this one included.
Forcing Google to host content against their will is pretty close. I guess in this case it's better than nationalizing though, Google has to pay for the hosting, and you get to tell Google they're not allowed to delete videos.
This. On phones especially it's getting increasingly hard, as a nerd desiring to do so, to figure out what the sender's email address and link's HTML target are :<
Is it not possible to talk about election fraud? I believe that this really has happened historically.

I would be fine to agree with you if you have proven that there is not election fraud, but obviously having a different opinion is not proof.
Pedantic correction: our eyes are not "2d", depth perception is a thing. That's why VR hardware is still years/decades away from replicating the real thing. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception
You realize that political battles between catholics, protestants, puritans, etc have historically been far more partisan and violent than what we see happening today. Church attendance is absolutely not a panacea for social cohesion with a country.
Your comment doesn't really object. Do you know how many average workers are getting paid right now for doing basically nothing? A high percentage of average "jobs" in US are a form of UBI. Some are doing great things, some are kicking cans, CEOs are no different, CEOs are not robots (yet?).
The church I went in as kid was pretty tight socially and people in it were wery like minded. And by all I heard or read about, it is pretty much standard.
I'm thinking that there are better ways to do this than relying on potentially fragile or hackable cross-site cookies. Certainly for payment, I'd prefer that communication to be handled server-side.
Direct flights to Cuba have been available since 2016. You can go whenever you want minus any pending revolution.
Despite my half century and having repeatedly listened to and ruminated about "being judgemental", I can't fully fault "making judgements", for without judgement we have no comparison of worse vs better, and without that we have no basis for improvement. At issue mostly is _hasty_ judgement, uninformed, and without humility of all the potential and unknowable errors in judgement. But we definitely must judge, or stagnate.
I'm currently on 890 day streak learning Spanish, i can read tweets getting ~90% and understand slow Spanish speech.

I think i can have a basic conversation with a Spanish speaker and understand him, if he'll make some effort for us to understand each other.

Duolingo gamification stopped working around day 150..200 but by that time spending 10-15 minutes per day with it became a habit. If I have to wait for someone or I'm drinking tea in an idle mood, i just pop up Duolingo and do a lesson.
The problem is that if you can produce this vast abundance in the US, you might be able to produce it cheaper by moving your operation to a previously undeveloped part of the Amazon rainforest - where land values are and taxes are lower. And the market always demands more growth. No level of efficiency will ever be "enough".
It is the wrong lesson, but to prove that to the students, you have to rejig the experiment where their picks are compared to those of a primate picking stocks at random.
> Kids need to learn that life sucks and then you die and really internalize that in order to bring expectations in line with reality.

I'm convinced that the world is cleanly divided into two categories of people. People that internalize this early in life, and people that never do at all.

Along with learning to be bored, it's the most important life lesson you can pass on to the next generation to ensure a happy productive life.
Fabform is a nice alternative to google forms. https://fabform.io
I have not used the above terminal emulators, but I got a fast high refresh monitor (250Hz) with a 1000Hz keyboard recently, and the programs supporting 250 refresh/second does feel snappier. While it does feel snappier, it's not like I can press over 200 keys per second anyway, it's like with good sound, it's "night vs day" once you've paid for premium.

Decentralization adds a good deal risk and operational overhead but it doesn't really change the core problem that people are generating more data than many want to pay for. If you want to store a non-trivial amount of data, someone needs to get paid to maintain storage pools and validate multiple copies.
Interesting. I'm looking forward to watching the video, thanks for the link.
Wow, I completely forgot about tweetdeck. Thanks for the reminder.
There're many movie theaters, but only one youtube in the whole world.

Youtube and facebook are natural monopolies due to their network effect.

All the older natural monopolies, water networks, electricity networks, landline phone networks, railroad networks, and the rest of them are either nationalized, or regulated heavily.

It's long overdue to add social networks to the list.
Because some of us are shut down with responses of "be happy you got this app at all" (Linux users) or somehow get ignored when we speak up (Windows users - though I guess Windows hw often having more cpu power and memory leads to less complaints?)
Cheat-maker brags of computer-vision auto-aim that works on 'any game'
I've tried to find the actual court decision, best match seems to be 4 W 118/21 (enter on https://www.justiz.sachsen.de/esamosplus/pages/index.aspx under "Aktenzeichen" & click "suchen", can't see any obvious way to link the PDF...)

However, that document does not actually order a fine. It warns about imposing one ("up to 250'000€") if Youtube doesn't remedy the problem. Considering it's now exactly 3 months later (decision dates April 13th), that lines up.

From what I understand (not a lawyer, yadda yadda) this is a purely civil matter and doesn't really go as far as some statement on free speech. The issue discussed mostly seems to revolve around which terms of service are valid and how they can be changed.
Coincidentally, it seems like this part of the solution:

It's not just technical. Jack doesn't want it. https://www.wired.com/story/jack-dorsey-wont-get-edit-tweet-...

> Dorsey was unusually direct: “The answer is no,” he says.

> “The reason there's no edit button [and] there hasn't been an edit button traditionally is we started as an SMS text messaging service," explains Dorsey. "So as you all know, when you send a text, you can’t really take it back. We wanted to preserve that vibe and that feeling in the early days.”
Facebook already has similar edit functionality and I’m curious how many users click through to see the edits. I’ll be the number is not high.

The speed Twitter moves I think a lot more people are going to mash the retweet button than the “see edits” button.
slowly? Seems to be moving quickly to rent a model in just about everything :/

NYT Opinion page is not a “public square”

In America at least, there are different sets of rules for different types of business.

A curated opinion piece, carefully chosen by experienced editors, is vastly different from a public swimming pool. For the first, that filter, that exclusivity, that editorializing is part of the draw. It’s good because it’s a filter, not a platform.
The public pool should not be a filter, and yes, sometimes there are weird things that float in there, and it takes effort to clean up, but that’s the cost of being open to the public.
Yes, that seems reasonable.

It is like getting a warrant to search your house. It can be expedite if someone is in grave danger.
This tool is great. I used it for diagrams[1][2] in my SICP project after trying lots of alternatives. It was the only one that allowed me to reach my goal of having pristine source that stands on its own, but also renders to a nice web page. I also use svgo and do some custom post-processing[3] to simplify the output.

I didn’t see this in the article forgive me if I missed it, but how does this impact the federal government use? I seem to recall there being something about airports being federal property?
I saw this video on the News in LA back in 1984.

It came to mind some time after I saw the first jet hit one of the Twin Towers on CNN the moment it happened. Oddly, they had a live feed of NY City showing the Twin Towers the moment it happened, and then cut to a commercial just a few moments later. The two News anchors were still unaware of what had just happened.

But what made me recall this video was the Drone tech being used in the Afghanistan war and that came out for consumer grade drones not long after that. It was so good, and so cheap, it was pretty amazing.

I'm not convinced these things are connected, but I not convinced they're not either.
Third paragraph from the bottom in the post you're literally commenting on :)
Many vendors of internal tools don't have cloud offerings and even if they did, I wouldn't trust it considering their current security record. It would be a good CYA strategy, but that's about it.

Considering that I'm circumcised and every male I know is, and none of us even give it a second thought or feel that our genitals have been "mutilated", I would say it requires a bit of sucking. There has to be some existing dissatisfaction or disorder for someone to get so up in arms about that.

Anyway, it was an example I saw, I had intended to remain neutral on the subject.
Sorry to have to say this but anyone who tells you you’re going to hell isn’t a Christian. I left the church over similar feelings so I identify. But for the record and the benefit of anyone else who might need to hear this, you’re not going to hell.

The biblical Jesus (he’s the Christ in Christian) hung out with sailors, prostitutes and a tax collector. The fact that xtians tell people they’re going to hell in that person’s name is a disgrace. It’s not the biblical antichrist but it’s sure anti everything Jesus said and did.

If anyone reads these words and feels pain, feel free to reach out. You’re incredibly loved, at least by me and I’ll have your back no matter what.
Wondering if you can implement it as a redirect. Instead of editing the original, the tweet redirects to the modified version but the original still shows up as a quote tweet or as a reply (with all replies to the original tweet under that reply)
Just as a couple of counter points to that phrase (to people who say and and those who hear it), because I know a lot of people hate hearing it.

People saying it are trying to impart hope on the people that they are saying it to. If you believe that everything happens for a reason, this will be a comforting reminder even though you're going through something awful. It's intended to remind people of the countless stories of individuals and groups of people who have suffered only to find out later that such suffering prepared them to make a difference later in life.

For some, this could mean that a tragedy in your life will leave you prepared to help others who are going through something similar later in life.

It's not intended as a dismissal of your pain. It's only to say that one day, the lessons you learn from this pain may help you to help others or yourself.

Simple examples:

- You lose a loved one to a horrible disease but then organize people to fund research to cure the disease, grow up to become a doctor or help support people coping with it

- You get dumped in a relationship and you're devastated, but on reflection you realize things about yourself that you need to work on, make real changes in yourself and later meet the love of your life

It's not meant to be dismissive.

On the flip side, for people who throw this phrase around you need to know that it gives the impression that God is controlling everything like some type of puppet master without any free will or random occurrences in the world.

The Bible doesn't reflect that perspective at all. It's worth the read to understand it better.
Yeah, I think that's exactly right. Any artistic people I've worked/associated with have a certain "clarity" about the world around them, that I think most people don't. Artists delve into culture and social things that are not easily recognized by people who aren't paying particular attention, I guess you could say. Not in all cases, and I think it depends on the type of creativity, but yeah... That's my simplistic way of describing it, anyway.

IMO, artistic people often see the "true nature" of things and ingest/interpret them in a way that is pretty judgement-free and quite "open". It allows them to be inspired and influenced by those things, and grow their understanding of the world around them, and thus interact with it and contribute back to it in an organic way. Again, all my subjective opinion from many years of being creative myself and collaborating with creative people. :)
Even if WiFi could match wired LAN speeds (which it can't), there's still the inherent fact that it's much easier to secure physical wires than radio signals.

Personally, I think WiFi has essentially a single use case: when you want connectivity with a mobile device. Outside of that, you can't beat a good cable.
Well, in my head (which I'll admit doesn't really match reality), YouTube is a video hoster only, it's not social at all. If something I'm reading or someone I'm talking with links to a video, it's likely there. I might watch that video, but I certainly don't read the comments and I try not to look at the recommendations because both of those areas are a cesspool.

If I'm searching for a video, I try to do it in a web search, and likely it'll lead to YouTube, and hopefully it'll actually be useful content (or Rick Astley, I actually like that song).

Anyway, if I were YouTube, I would turn off comments everywhere, and review videos before including them in recommendations (which would leave a lot of videos out of that section) and probably have a lot lower views.
Don't forget "trauma"!
I hate it too and wish I hadn't shared it. I thought it was basically what the parent was saying, but more succinct.
The underlying problem these elaborate prompts seem to solve is that the internet contains many pictures, few of which look very beautiful.

If you look at all internet pictures of sheep, many of them will not be very exciting and depict a low contrast sheep in a foggy landscape.

So to get a picture with strong saturation and clear lines, it helps to put text there that is usually associated with pictures that have these ... like "HD wallpaper" or "made with unreal engine". Most "wallpapers" might be of dubious artistic quality, but muted colors and a lack of saturation will generally not be their problem.

This is of course not the only problem with the model. It doesn't even produce a clear image of a sheep .... but that will probably get better with larger models and more training. Similarly it doesn't seem to have a sense of overall composition and tends towards fractal or tiling-like images. But those problems are probably orthogonal to the fact that the model doesn't per se try to make good pictures ... just average ones for the description you give it.
If this is your “line in the sand”, why are we arguing about YouTube? I cannot believe you connect with your friends there…
I know you're being provocative and I shouldn't take the bait but I just can't help myself.

>"by saying both sides are equally bad and misguided..."

I never actually said that. I said that people can be concerned "regardless of political affiliation."

>"someone who fearmongers"

Yep. You got me. I'm concerned about something and I think other people should be too.

All I can say is that you should be less combative and you shouldn't snap to assuming hostile intent. Quite frankly it's off-putting and anti-persuasive. You would not enjoy someone arguing with you in the same way you argue with them. But I suppose if you enjoy interacting with others in this way there's no stopping you.
Security is largely not a balance between usability and safety at the levels most companies operate at. Both usability and safety could have been achieved in this case by just not being vulnerable to the attack as was the case for many other browsers. Then you could click the link and still be safe without any usability tradeoff in this specific case.

Obviously, there are ways to sacrifice usability to gain security, but it is by no means required or sufficient to do so. There are plenty of ways to completely demolish usability without gaining any safety. And even in cases where it is necessary to tradeoff, most problems are so far from the actual edge of what is possible that you only need to sacrifice a negligible amount of usability to gain order of magnitude improvements in safety if you are working with someone who knows what they are doing.
But that 15% that amazon takes (not counting the extra cut they take for Fulfilled by Amazon items) is larger than Walmart's average markup. So that isn't really an argument against their size.

I wouldn't mind the Microsoft Agent characters getting a shout-out or acknowledgement these days. But to be fair, I get hopelessly nostalgic for such things since I was on a Windows XP for years, bored at school with a computer with no games, locked down internet, and nothing but paint and wordpad to entertain myself with. After a while I discovered if you saved a notepad file with a .VBS extension you could write VBS files to have agents like Merlin and Spot act out small stories.

Moving past my nostalgia trip, sometimes I wonder if a plurality or majority of Windows users have moved from loving or hating Clippy to loving to hate or loving to defend Clippy. Perhaps as a form of proto-fanbases akin to Trekkies vs. Trekkers or worse Star Trek vs. Star Wars etc.

Today, I keep Office 97 and 2000 installs going since they are extremely screaming fast for the documents or very basic spreadsheets I use compared to current versions of Excel or even LibreOffice. I leave Clippy on, but rarely talk to him. I don't mind him much and when I'm pausing to think, seeing him animates provides a moment of idle novelty that seems to help my mood somehow, like a mental pallet-cleansing grape.

Clippy is my PC Tamogatchi I guess.
