The medium online video does not necessarily encourage passive absorption, that is more due to the recommendations system combined with autoplay which is tuned to keep viewers stuck to their tubes for as long as possible. Take away the recommendations and disable autoplay and what you're left with is just a way to show video content, with all the pros and cons of such. While I prefer textual content over video I know that this is not a universal and as such there certainly is a place for those videos describing how to tune a guitar, how to floss the cat and how to bake hamburger buns.

As to alternative video distribution channels being "worse" than Youtube, well, yes, the average quality of the content "relegated" to alternative channels is bound to be lower than that on Youtube simply because they apply both legitimate as well as illegitimate (political, commercial or otherwise) reasons to ban content. The value of the alternative channels lies in their willingness to distribute videos which were banned for illegitimate reasons, not in their use by those who were banned from Youtube for legitimate reasons. You can simply ignore the thrash content when using these alternatives just like you (hopefully) ignore the thrash on Youtube et al.
I'm 90% sure this is just political posturing.

However, if it were to pass I can't imagine how they expect social media companies to be accountable for making sure that no users can post any COVID-19 or vaccine misinformation. Obviously we can't sit a team of doctors down and have them check every post for scientific accuracy before it's allowed on these sites.

The only way I can think of actually enforcing this, whether on Facebook or on your local community forum (Hacker News included), would be to automatically ban any post that references anything related to COVID, vaccines, or any other keywords that could be associated with misinformation.

I imagine any posts that trigger the keyword detector and get hidden would be replaced by a note that explains the law and contains a link to contact their representatives to complain. It wouldn't last very long.

If we want free discussion online, we can't simultaneously demand that every platform police the content of every post against vague standards.
You don't even need that -- those are the defaults for the CLI.

I see it too. It's weird and distracting — something must have gone wrong in the rendering.
> The app landed as the #4 product of the day on ProductHunt

I honestly don't get this. I don't know a single smartphone user who looks at product hunt for new apps. None.

As far as I can tell, it's just an echo chamber of ego-seeking devs showing off their apps to other devs and spambots - that's not a market (I guess unless your app is targeted at ego-seeking devs?).

I don't know much about radio or Starlink's signals, but is this a situation where a strategically-placed radio reflector would help? Assuming those are a thing. So like, a reflector mounted on both sides of a large tree. Are the signal beams too narrow for this to matter?
Schema changes are pretty much the riskiest damn thing you can do with a database, so it's natural people would be extremely interested in being able to confine as much of that as possible to transactions, even if changes are rare (which, arguably, they're rare in no small part because they're so risky).
IoT devices doesn't even have the memory required for running a k8s worker process. They should run a low-cost, very small embedded system. Most of them doesn't even have a Linux kernel.
I really don't understand your list. Are you trying to lump QCs in with pseudo-science gobbledygook like cold fusion or Musk's surface to surface starship rides?
It's your choice to be dismissive and treat it like astrology. I don't care.

"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation."

I didn't condone what he did, but I think you missed the points, which are how quickly people are willing to embrace a lie, even when it's clearly either trolling or satirical, and the increasing tendency to threaten violence as a response.

That's a very serious issue when the number of people who'll do that is as large of a percent of the population as we have now.

I'll offer we need to find a way to address this issue or suffer the inevitable consequences.

I just configured a new router and had to set up my dynamic DNS updating service on it.

Went to dyn.com and the goddamn website is gone, redirects to some corporate Oracle bullshit and PR, and I can't login to that Oracle crap with my dyn.com account and password.

In case any confused people googling for this stumble upon this comment you need to go to: account.dyn.com which they don't tell you on the Oracle page.

You can log in there with your former dyn.com credentials.
And yet MySQL is very much alive..? Java has fully opensource implementations too, and has had innovations like GraalVM and Jakarta EE.

I think I'm too young to hate Oracle with a burning passion. I would be very scared of their sales/corporate team, but I mean, even having large contracts with Google or Amazon is difficult to say the least.
I’m already getting a Starlink and I have one available to test on at my parents house so I think it’s worth it. I’m also evaluating it as a way for me to move closer to my family. I’m stuck in Portland because I require really good internet as I’m a 100% remote game dev working on multiplayer games. And the only option in Albany is really bad and expensive Comcast service.
> The result is clear already, some apps refuse to run if you don't have TPM because they need to make sure you cannot freely modify your own devices.

This sort of thing is why I consider TPM harmful and avoid machines that include it to the best of my ability.

Since avoiding it becomes less tenable as time goes by, I'm starting to consider methods that could block access to it instead.
I'd recommend the book Consciousness and the Brain for a recent-ish (2014) take on what science currently knows about the easier problems of consciousness at least.
I didn't realize how much our language relies on metaphorical thinking until I read that book. Although I think they end up making rather strong claims about philosophy and science which are questionable, to say the least.
In the last month it seems that Amazon has incessantly asked my opinion about every product and service I use (e.g. the store, Amazon Music, ...)

My answer is always some variant of "I don't like the way you treat the help"
IIRC, there is a group policy setting called "Turn off routine remediation" to stop defender from auto-removing stuff.

There is also a setting to permanently disable automatic sample reporting. I enabled that on all my Windows machines after the first time I caught Defender exfiltrating sensitive files like places.sqlite database out of my FF profile directory.
I don't know if you know, but doctors spent 1,300 YEARS using the wrong anatomy book. A few years and compute time isnt the end of the world. I'm sure oracle's DB2 test suite has burned more carbon than protein folding labs have.
Should it be up to you to allow e.g. Google to systematically read incoming mail written by people with no relationship to Google whatsoever?
From the article:

"While the equipment we used in our Cuban re-creation is relatively bulky, ultrasonic emitters can be quite tiny, no larger than a piece of Rolo candy. Online, we found a manufacturer in Russia that sells a fashionable leather clutch that conceals an ultrasonic emitter, presumably to jam recording devices at cocktail parties. We also found electronics stores that carry high- power ultrasonic jammers that cause microphones to malfunction. One advertised jammer emits 120-dB ultrasonic interference at a distance of 1 meter. That’s like standing next to a chainsaw. If a signal from that caliber jammer were to combine with a second ultrasonic source, audible by-products could result."

Consider an countermeasure ultrasonic emitter intended to jam microphones in proximity to, say, a spy emitter using ultrasonic sound as a carrier wave for a microphone, as described in the article.
> You enable a certain amount of profit for your employer, regardless of what you do with your pay. Regardless of how much rent or mortgage you pay, and regardless of where you pay it.

Then why would companies bother hiring people in expensive locations if they can hire another developer in a foreign country for half the price?

In practice, companies that adopt location-independent salaries don't automatically pin their compensation to the most expensive locales. They pick a midpoint compensation that is good enough to attract remote workers who can't do any better locally, but they turn away a lot of developers in expensive places like Seattle or SFBA who know they can do better locally.
Yes, as contrasted with otf/ttf. I think of Type-1 as obsolete technology, not often used for new fonts and only supporting 256 glyphs per font. But I guess there must be some upside that I don’t know about.

I don't think it'll work. Museums like to claim copyright over works which A) were created before copyright existed and B) would have had their copyrights expired long ago anyway. It's mostly a scare tactic. Big publishers will comply when they print books with images of famous paintings, but I can't think of a successful museum lawsuit against anyone for using famous art in a product. Can anyone else?

One thing often misunderstood about copyright by both creators and consumers is that it's automatic, it's owned by the creator, it doesn't transfer with the product, it doesn't transfer at all except through explicit written agreements, and it eventually expires. This means that all paintings are copyright by the painter and, since the Louvre cuts off at 1900, everything is expired and public domain.

So fire up those digital printers and make your own Mona Lisa or a remix!
I'd love to know roughly how many engineers (or engineer hours) this took - sounds like a mammoth project!
Wow. Why don't they use in-house Google databases, which are supposedly vastly more scalable than MySQL?
I've heard this described as "self gatekeeping".
You're thinking of type erasure. That's very different from soundness.

(but is in fact correct that Java's type system isn't entirely sound, I forget the details, but I believe array element type variance is one of the soundness hole.)
> Maybe an app on a phone

A good microphone circuit, designed for humans, will have a filter to limit its sensitivity to the audible range.

For measurements that include ultrasonic frequencies, specialized equipment is needed, since much higher sample rates are required.
> To any professional type designer, it's a terribly balanced font aesthetically, basically every letterform.

It works pretty well balanced in print on systems it was originally targeted to. The main problem with using other fonts in TeX/LaTeX (or anything in, say, Word) is making it so complex equations lay out reasonably. Admittedly a niche problem, but one one that was the original purpose of TeX - and CM works well for it. There are a small number of other options that don't screw it up.
??? Unless you jump from eukaryotes to archea these are not real concerns. Most PTM markers are very conserved.
You typically have four name servers for a domain, but they don’t all have to be hosted with the same company. Very handy when your DNS provider decides to brag they are unhackable and the hackers reply by immediately hacking them followed by DDoSing them to death.
They're pretty darned small... ~0.2g a piece maybe.. And by a few I meant 1 or 2 max.

And I only smoked them right before bed to help with sleep. I don't enjoy "being high" typically.
I'm a lot more hesitant to say: Build something people really need because of examples like Instagram/Snapchat etc. Were those really needs? Were people really "needing" Instagram at the start?

I think businesses should target pain points/needs but I'm now of the opinion that its best to start with targeting a sizeable target segment and then work out pain points/products/needs/inspiration from there. As long as there are customers/users/market, there will be possibilities.

I know it might sound similar to others but a need can always be argued into existence or a need can be hidden so deep you can't even qualify it until the company/product is out (hence why some startups pivot or end up doing some exploration before they take off). But it is much easier to have a target group in mind and then target them and figure out a distribution channel to reach them than figuring out needs from the start. I think come up with your target customer group first, study them and then figure out the marketing and messaging needed target them and then things get easier from there.
If you are reading physical book, give a chance to epub version on phone. It is much easier and faster to pop it out of pocket when you suddenly have a chance.

It made big difference for me in exactly that situation.
>Trying to say they're somehow equivalent is whataboutism

Which is another name for "putting things in perspective" and "addressing all bad actors, not singling out one for the benefit of the other".
So none of them went to public schools or used public roads or relied on a fire department. Probably none of them could look forward to social security or medicare.

Or maybe that's not correct.
Using multiple providers for mostly static DNS is easy, pick one as primary and AXFR to the other and notifications and whatever. Or it's not too hard to keep a zone file in source control and sync it to the providers.

Using multiple providers for fancy DNS, like only providing IPs that pass healthchecks or geotargetting users to datacenters gets pretty hard, because the different providers have similar capabilities, but no uniform interface, so you've either got to do it manually, or you have to build out your own abstraction that is probably limiting.

If possible, insourcing DNS makes the most sense to me, because if you can't keep your service online, it's not the worst if your DNS is offline; and if you can keep your service online, you probably won't mess up your DNS too badly.
Well I'll agree with the "don't use Twitter" advice, but I think it was pretty clear this guy was being satiric, and not really trolling, but instead being "trolled".
Truman Capote and 1950s personality research (2018)
The SFO has a habit of not finding sufficient evidence, I wouldn’t read too much into that other than perhaps they too are incompetent. In my view they are also likely corrupt as well.
I admit that I was thinking of some armchair diagnoses while watching this interview of Lee Scratch Perry, a man who has probably smoked more weed than most:

I honestly think some people are just not used to get pushback on their ideas. Whether they are surrounded by like-minded individuals in real life or they just haven't ever shared their believes/thoughts much, I don't know. But I quite often see people shocked by encountering the concept that their ideas aren't perfect.

Couple that with the difficulty of reading intent and intensity in a written media and you get people that believe conversations are heavily skewed against them.
... yes? Preventing immortal dictators is absolutely worth keeping death around.

It's hilarious to me how shortsighted this whole thing is, if immortal dictators rule humanity indefinitely, how long do you think they'll let you live?

Clickbait. Tesla GPU != Gaming graphics card.

It's a bit tiring to see things like this in a pseudointellectual kind of way. I looked through the article to see what specific processor they used, and couldn't find one. I'm going to guess a V100 or an A100 due to fp64 capabilities. Which, while they have CUDA cores (and especially here -- tensor cores), aren't all that useful for playing games. In fact, I don't think you actually can render or play games on an A100/V100. Just try it! They did have a cool demo with realtime raytracing on a DGX-1 for some shiny stormtrooper Star Wars short a few years back at CVPR. But that's an entirely different thing than an interactive game render, the pipelining is just very, very different I think.

I'd argue too that you'd want anything over HMB2 for your memory if you're doing anything about a reactor. Slapping a non-computing-center GPU onto a likely hilariously expensive reactor and calling it a day seems like either a grad student's choice, or a clickbait title. It could be the former (or something else, I don't want to fall into the illusion of choice here), but I'd lean towards the latter.

Thanks!
There isn't much of a regional water shortage catastrophe occuring in the west so much as a general mismanagement of water resources. We make water cheap and in plenty supply for farmers, so they pick water intensive lucrative crops for export like alfalfa, cotton for mattresses fabricated in mexico, or even rice. Residential use makes up such a small percentage of water usage compared to agriculture which isn't managed well. Seeing the great lakes as an infinite body of water is also a logical fallacy, that resource also needs not to be mismanaged in order for it to be relied upon 100 years from now.

The infrastructure issue is a huge problem. Municipalities are going bankrupt. They can't afford to replace these systems that were laid out decades ago. Who will pay for it when there isn't money available even to pay existing pensions on the municipality and the state level, and federal policy changes with the wind every 4 years? In the mean time while that is being debated historic storms are finding the weakest links to stress and breaking them, and compromises are being made to sustain the bare essential of infrastructure.

And that's just the public works. Homes are rotting too, and they aren't building new ones fast enough. A housing tract that was nice and new in 1995 probably needs work on the roof today, a repair bill that might be worth 10-20% the total value of the home. You won't get that nice coastal salary to make these sorts of bills worry free, either. This is the midwest where engineers are paid like 80k and that's seen as pretty good pay.
Sounds like you fell into the "subculture stereotypes that become something like a truism" trap that the parent comment mentioned. I've worked my way up into six figures being high on THC most of the time. I've only recently cut back, but only to drop a few pounds. Weed doesn't make people lazy or complacent, but it can make lazy and complacent people lazier and more complacent sometimes.
I have noticed that a very small dose of cannabis can help in work motivation and concentration... but for myself at least, it's a slippery slope.

After a few hours of coding well I start thinking about another very small dose of Cannabis... which won't work because you just ingested a few hours ago and you need to up the dosage... rinse and repeat.
These attacks are reported to have long-lasting consequences. That would be (I think?) incompatible with mass hysteria or nocebo effects.
If you don't mind me asking (off-topic), are you less into longevity stuff now? if yes, what made you less into it/possibly more skeptical of it?
As an ex biomedical researcher I was trying to think what protein I should enter and see, and couldn't come up with a protein that I know of, that didn't have a structure already (at least a crude one). That is, we roughly know how most known important proteins look like. This is an amazing tool, and will he indispensable in labs (I'll expect any lab to use this site at least once a year?) But it's not as transformative as some might think.
