Some people want tiktoks algo to exposure folks to the right wing militia folks and jam up the interaction heavily (offsense / counter offense).

Tiktok (arguably) doesn't do this, but keeps people exposed to happy bubbles. If you click away quickly from LGBTQ+ you'll see less of it? Maybe?

I'm not LGBTQ myself but I get plenty of that content. I can imagine tiktok also paying attention to this country by country (ie, Saudi Arabia probably not getting as much?).

I read these types of things as the outrage / offense response, and at least from what I can see plenty of interesting (and diverse) folks are on tiktok. My feed feels MORE diverse their then facebook for example (including more unusual things relative to my FB feed including viewpoints) Comments seem more positive as a result.

> The China thing is touchy but I want the west to beat them by being better, not by being dismissive and protectionist.

That is what everyone thought when opening up trade with China - make it as a reason to make the country more open and move away from dictatorship.
In Russia, in some regions there were mandatory 500m-1000m firebreaks in between forests, and residential areas.

I guess it will be very hard to force people to alienate 500m of their private land in USA.

I believe though, it will be a very sensible regulation everywhere with dense, fire prone forests.
There are beneficial uses mentioned, but this system seems to increase the power differential between the authority and the inmate and their family, not to mention potential abuses.
> or have not spent much time looking at the history of the Soviet Union.

Probably that.

I say "surprising" because there's a simplistic view in some places (particularly the US) that "antisemitism is Right" and "Communism is Left" and moreover "antisemitism is all due to Christianity" while at the same time "those godless Soviets were against Christianity" so automatically "the Soviets must have been pro-Jewish". I think this is believed in large swathes of the "Right" and "Left", but particularly on the "Right", where super-dumb Nazi types think "all those damn Jewish libtards" and so-on.

I am making a pot shot at all that kind of stupidity, so people know life is never as simple as whatever dichotomous cartoon lives in their heads.

> Here are the facts ... California is naturally combustible.

One thing that bothers me about many write ups about nature is there often is this fallacy that returning to what was is the most ethical course of action. Why not take more radical action and aim to make California less dry?

Projects like Greening the Desert[1], Allan Savory on reversing desertification etc. suggest we could actually just create a non dry tinder California that wouldn't need either controlled burns nor megafires. In short the game is making the land retain far more water and allowing it accumulate until the region is entirely revitalized.

LedgerX is CFTC licensed and offers BTC and ETH options and futures: https://www.ledgerx.com/

You can buy daily BTC/ETH which is delivered at 4pm, and the fee is a flat $5 per coin (so ~0.01% at the current BTC price). BTC is traded in 0.01 increments and ETH in 0.1 increments.

Caveat is that only wire deposits are accepted, so the wire fees plus network fees (if you withdraw your coins) can raise this cost substantially if you only trade small amounts.
Moore's Law is definitely slowing, although it's hard to imagine things getting that bad.
Apple should house these poor people at HQ. With employees working from home they should have a lot of office space that could be converted into rooms for the homeless. I'm sure there are fitness facilities they could use for basic hygiene and plenty of cafeterias that could feed them.
> Another thing Tik Tok does is get rid of people who are obese, queer, or otherwise the target of harassment. Their stance is it's easier to get rid of the person being made fun of or limit who can see their videos rather than the 10k people harassing them.

This is not unlike how the power that be in China do their business. Harmony at all costs, even if it means suppressing those who got screwed over.

Through 2015 I used Fortran to develop trading strategies for a fund, and since then I have developed strategies for my personal account. I used to use g95 and now use the gfortran compiler. Fortran 90 and later versions (the latest standard is F2018) have modern features, including array operations like Matlab or NumPy. For plotting I wrote some subroutines that called gnuplot. Fortran does not have libraries to download financial data like Python or R, but once you have the data, coding is straightforward and the programs are fast.

All the diagrams that show the stack "above" the heap may be an example of a widespread "UNIX-ism"; and indeed, there are many questions on StackOverflow and the like from semi-confused beginners wondering why they see heap allocations having higher addresses than ones on the stack.

In Windows, stacks are usually very low in memory, even below the process image itself (which is normally loaded at 4MB[1]), and heaps are above. Of course, if you have many threads, stack and heap ranges can end up anywhere, but in the simplest single-thread case the layout is already very different from the "classic" image-heap-stack order.

Right, the inline keyword in C++ is mainly used to dodge ODR. When you really care about inlining, you want an attribute like always_inline, which emits an error if the function cannot be inlined (e.g. is recursive).

Conflict of interest is totally separate from the reliability of sources issue. I think the thing that would be encouraged in this situation is to detail what you would want changed on the talk page, and have a neutral wikipedian look at it and make the changes if appropriate.

That said, as far as where the line is drawn for sources see

> not the other way around

That's highly debatable. See The Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity[1] for a good, detailed counterexample. The reformation and counter-reformation have been likened to a re-Judaization of Christianity with good reason. Based on my reading, though, the pagan roots of Christianity run much deeper; for example, the concept of three gods, separate yet one, is completely alien to Judaism, but integral to Indo-European religion. It's not found in the Bible, but was made use of to explain the relationship between the three divinities found in the New Testament.

edit: I misunderstood you. The statement I thought I was responding to was that christianity absorbed pagan practices but not beliefs.

Despite this claim tiktok seems like it pushes some the least outrage machine type stuff. At least my feed is filled with interesting folks.

There are never any positive suggestions any more (ie, here's how apple should screen for CASM). It's just pure outrage factory in some cases.

Luckily for me at least HN still has some "boring" content with lots of what seem like smart interesting folks posting - keeps me coming back :)
I'd say it probably has to do with the more mundane reasons like having an extractive economy than outright welcoming global warming because they're banking on settling Siberia, but they're in pretty good company there.

OP is misrepresenting the facts, but OK, I guess it's their right to do that.

Edit: He said, "I was being hyperbolic to make a point,"
This is tangential, but I’ve always thought that disused office space would make an okay crash pad if I ended up homeless. Parking lots make scouting easy, and nondestructive entry is easy on most lower-security offices. Put on a hard hat, like 10 bucks at Home Depot, walk right in and out. If things get hot, hop to another office building.

It's more dire for the average person to get stuck in an assessment loop that may not have their best interest at heart.

The problem of art being impossible to appreciate without sufficient training is that there then becomes no way to detect dishonest art. The worst possible intentions are officially impossible. There is no way to stop the dissent into art created for the sake of producing "inadequate and impoverished" feelings in all but the most devoted followers. Post-modernism is one such authority play all the way down.
Currently this is done by humans, one of the reasons prison phone calls are ridiculously priced. Unfortunately I imagine the AI just means more profit for the telco, not cheaper phone calls.
Yeah that's what I've experienced too. I usually unsubscribe to all default subs, especially /r/politics and /r/all.

Then the rest of the niche specialized communities are just pure gold. In particular: data_hoarders, anything D&D related, netsec and programming are ok.

The rest however are just obvious old accounts bought by influence campaigns, which now sells for hundreds of dollars. (not to hard to see if you look at their posts history). Reddit made it so that having multiple accounts is much more easy than respecting the rules, especially with their one post by 10 minutes rule for most default subreddits.

Their new site revamp however reeks of a Product Manager (tm) who got too much free time on his hand. If old.reddit.com goes away I don't know if I'll even bother. Thank God for the SingleFile extension for saving my favorite posts.
Liability is not a problem. If people get hurt using tools, it’s almost always either entirely their fault, or some rare and random case of very bad luck. Either way, you can have people sign 50 liability waivers before allowing them to touch anything, and buy liability insurance (paid for by member fees).

No, the real problem is not idiots hurting themselves, but rather them hurting tools. Many tools are easy to damage or destroy through misuse, which can be very costly. If people don’t own the tools themselves, they have much less incentive to take good care of them. All your cutting implements will be perpetually dull, for example, unless you hire someone to keep everything in a good order.
>the users like the parent comment are once again the prime product addicted under a para-social relationship with other addicted influencers

That's quite a leap from what I said, not to mention a personal attack.

Comment [0] doesn't make any factual claims about TikTok (please, go and read it).

Comment [1] is outdated, as the policy they has changed since then. "That wall was black two years ago" is a factual claim, but the wall has been repainted since, and anyone with a pair of eyes can go take a look.

Also, as a member of the several demographics mentioned in that comment - and, ostensibly, oppressed by TikTok -, me saying that my experience was the opposite and extremely valuable should make you reconsider your words.

Have you been affected by TikTok's policy towards vulnerable people? If not, please do not speak on our behalf.

Any guesses as to why C chose such crazy semantics for inline functions? "The compiler can decide to use the inline or extern definition" is begging for trouble.

"inline functions cannot have their address taken and cannot have static variables" seems so natural and obvious.

If your workplace is partially remote, one could imagine company resources are where you work. While there is ambiguity, it seems most likely a federal labor complaint or lawsuit against Apple is where the outcome would be determined.

Attempting to censor these conversations in their Slack teams would be similarly illegal I would think, even if Apple employees are operating in a hybrid remote/office model.

Umm, no there are clear verification methods for Explainable AI techniques today. One way to check the justification would be if things which were important in the justification were removed in some sense, then would the output change signficantly. Sort of like a sensitivity test for justification.

In Seattle, a typical local bus trip costs the transit company around $10, while the ticket costs around $3. Running twice as many buses would result in cost of something like $18-20 per ride, which would make it require even more subsidies than it already receives.

>because economic value goes to zero when all the workers kick up their feet

That will never happen, as I explained in a sibling post:

>there would be an imbalance of labor demand compared to supply. This will cause prices to go up, which will make it less attractive to stay "retired" and more attractive to start working again.
This is why I’m angered when people point to “white privilege”. My family survived genocide, then was excluded from society. We survive, emigrate to the west, are labeled white and therefore oppressors. Unreasonably shite.
Russia spreads climate change disinfo because it destabilizes liberal democracies more than it destabilizes the economic interests of Russian oligarchs.

Those oligarchs aren't playing any sort of long game -- they're psychopaths who don't care what happens to anything once they're dead. If they actually cared about the long term standing of Russia they wouldn't have raided the country of trillions of dollars and left their people and military in a permanently desperate state.
If you believe Bezos buying everyone a house is a solution to the homeless crisis you are so naive and ignorant of the situation that your views aren’t even worth a rebuttal. Do better.
Who’s Bezos supposed to buy the homes from? It seems like there is already a higher than average number of people living per house here, so distribution of housing is not really the problem. The total number of homes is too low. It would help if Bezos could build a huge number of new housing units, but that’s illegal (which is the problem).

Indeed, In Oregon, there's no real limits to logging and Oregon fires in the last two years has had horrible on par with California.

The reason is that the kind of logging that's economical is not good fire suppression. IE, clear cutting is going leave a thicken of young trees and undergrowth in ten year that's a huge fire hazard but not economical to log. The state would have to pay for sort of logging that could effectively cut fire and that's usually not not called but logging but ground clearing. And it's done a bit but not affordable around every little town in the Sierras.

What is the goal of that map? What would be the goal if it were complete? Should I protest? Slingshot/Laserpoint them? Making detours around them? What if a cluster of them popped up near a literal hotspot where some assholes set cars and market stands on fire?
