Facebook is governed by many laws and it flouts a lot of them. For example, they screw up the DMCA process continuously in a way that by statute should make them lose their safe harbor (no "Section 230 reform" needed). Just by sheer volume of mistakes related to processing DMCA notices and counternotices they should lose their safe harbor protection. Even though surely many of the mistakes are unintentional human error, it doesn't actually matter that much according to the wording of the law.

They allow the hosting of a lot of egregious criminal activity, including maintaining uncountable numbers of what the law would define as notorious marketplaces for criminal activity. The trouble is lack of enforcement. You cannot fix a lack of enforcement with new laws that will just go unenforced.
Most of the time tech companies have their fans and detractors. In virtually any discussion about tech companies, you’ll find people for the company in question, and others against, Apple and Google are great examples.

I find it interesting that I don’t think I’ve ever come across any discussion about Facebook (and I read a lot of them) where anyone is defending them. Either people are strongly against the company, or at most they admit grudgingly that they do use Facebook services because everyone else they know uses it.

The only people I ever hear championing Facebook are Zuckerberg and other top management.

I don’t have a Facebook account, so possibly all the positive discussion is on Facebook itself and I’m not seeing it.
> The thing with Twitch streaming is that you can do it from almost anywhere. So, $50k is maybe a bit high for a living wage.

The thing is the power law curve is so strong that if we take the top ten thousand which sets a living wage at approximately $11.5k which is definitely not a living wage in a lot of places people stream from then that only improves things to the top 0.04% (of those trying to make it).

> Plus, Twitch is probably just one source of income for many content creators. For many it's not their primary source, but just a side source. YouTube, Patreon, OnlyFans, outside sponsors, or even esports may be where they make most of their money.

If you read the original comment the gross amount supposedly includes 3rd party revenue.
Doesn't denial of anthropogenic climate change, rather than simply being a semantic issue, undermine support for any attempt at mitigation?

"where it wasn’t you could “go fuck off into the woods” and nobody would bother you"

This is an important point. Due to the progress in instant communication, all politics is now national.
Sure, I guess you could see it that way.

Some people, on the other hand, like to reward others if they enjoy the product/service/performance they provide.

That's the nature of "pay what you can". If money is tight, then don't pay, and don't feel bad about it. But if you have disposable income, and you value the experience, then give what you can as a form of gratitude.

It doesn't need to be said that if everyone took the "it's free so I don't have to pay anything" route, then there would be no show to see.
Anybody with experience of Singapore knows that despite the shining-libertarian-city facade, certain things are deliberately opaque. There are no "extra steps" for the first caste, EPs get processed blindingly fast.

But when "extra steps" are put in, they are circuit-breakers with the "intent to deny" and no explanation required. The "health measures" to protect Singapore during COVID were implemented by the Ministry of Manpower.

The "optics" as Singaporeans would say, are bad on the face of it. The reality is worse. I, with my November 2007 account, feel the need to use a sock-puppet on HN!
I don't see how that can be the case if the ANC is working correctly. By inverting the waveform that the headphones "hear", it cancels out what your ears hear to near-zero. If it's actually increasing sound pressure, surely you'd hear that in the form of loud unwelcome sounds (unless it's happening only at inaudible frequencies?)

One of the first applications for ANC headphones was in military headsets - specifically designed to reduce the risk of hearing damage/loss to crews operating in very loud environments (such as the M1 Abrams Tank!)
> I am sure that this distinction between a near-OOM condition and an actual OOM condition matters to someone familiar with the current kernel implementation. You seem confident describing what happens when the memory gets closer to full, so I believe you.

I'm not a kernel developer or anything like that, I've just spent some time investigating why this issue happens and has been happening for more than 10 years now.

> the user experiences the PC freeze during certain conditions, however you choose to name them

I'm not trying to defent the Linux kernel, I just described how it works. In particular it's not true that the OOM killer "takes too long" or doesn't work: it's just not invoked at all. If you invoke it manually (enable the magic SysRq with`sysctl kernel.sysrq=1` and press `alt-sysrq-f`) it does its job and solves the OOM instantly.

So, if you don't want to deal lockups and don't like an OOM userspace daemon (I don't), these are the possible solutions.

> I would take one crashed program over power cycling the entire PC any day of the week.

On a laptop or desktop PC, you don't need to power cycle in a near-OOM: use the magic SysRq key.
Lotus Notes, if you look past it having one of the ugliest UIs ever made, was a pretty neat tool. When I look at a tool like Notion, I see it as what Notes should have become.

I worked in a Notes/Domino shop pre-2000, and after some "geniuses" in the company read a Gartner report that SAAS was going to be a thing within a couple of years, my company blew a lot of resources to hack together a multi-tenant project collaboration app using Domino that was delivered to web browsers.

Of course, it didn't go anywhere, because it took many more years before SAAS eventually became mainstream. It's funny looking back at what we made around 98-99, because JS on the browser was far less mature than what it is today.
I guess I was just responding to:

> It’s hard for us to imagine seeing it break up but there is nothing that prevents that except our general desire to live together.

That thing that prevents it is evidently the [EDIT: Supreme Court's interpretation of the] Constitution, so it's not just a matter of losing that general desire to live together. We'd have to at the very least go through the difficult process of amending the Constitution to allow it, in order to actually legally break the union up.

Lots of perfectly functional SDS hammer drills are electric (here in USA they're 120V). This is different from what I've called an impact driver, which is more for turning fasteners than drilling holes. Even Harbor Freight sells a few electric hammer drills that will sink smaller diameters like 1/4" at about 2 seconds per inch. Larger diameter bits take longer, but there's no need for an air compressor.

I'm not sure why you'd mention "reinforced" concrete. I thought all concrete required reinforcement of some sort? Fiber won't be an issue, but if you hit rebar it's time to relocate your hole, no matter what you're drilling with. Even if the drill can do it you're going to ruin the bit.
Number 1 is Critical Roll. Their website lists 24 employees (many of whom are professional actors), and I’m sure there’s more behind the scenes. Salaries add up quickly.
Thanks. Do you know if some of these break major websites if I move away from the default settings?
> if you are doing cool shit age doesn’t matter.

That's always been my viewpoint.

> But I’m not rejecting that this appliance could be very useful if well used, because depression also is an issue for the society, for the ones affected

Oh yes, sure, I think we can get a lot of value out of this. But I think there's a very big difference between "depression" and "feeling down".
Go developers are so screwed. They tried very hard to find some excuse for writing 4 times more lines of code than other languages. and jet, exception handling has zero additional costs. Their last argument is debunked. Go is one of the worst languages ever made.
Real question - why does it matter to you? If that's how people want to spend their time and money, and it makes them feel good, even if they look foolish, what does it matter to you?

I'm really bad at woodworking, but I do it a lot, and I've spent a crap load of money on it. Does that matter at all to anyone else in the world?
I sometimes use prism glasses.

Terminal drives me nuts because red text appears to be floating behind everything else. Blue text is similar. Is incredibly distracting.
That seems reasonable, but I would say you don't have to resort to such crudeness. In my experience I know the difference between a task that will definitely take weeks and a task that might take a day or might take weeks. Just let me write that down!

Even if you don't have any idea about the uncertainty we already have a crude way of measuring it - planning poker! Just record everyone's guesses instead of throwing away the uncertainty information. There's a huge difference between everyone guessing 5, and some people guessing 1 and others guessing 20.

I agree about points being stupid though - there's simply no way to avoid it being converted to/from time, because that's the actual unit of work.
Alongside the other suggestions, "Org Design for Design Orgs" is a book that got me interested in the topic. Whilst it's focused on how to structure and scale design teams, a lot of it is transferable to other disciplines.
My thought was that the "right" to a "clean environment" is, itself, a gift to authoritarians who will immediately use it to enact more taxes and restrict movement.
Having a device with 1000 transmons does not seem too crazy to me. But I would be deeply impressed if the quality of these 1000 transmons is not lower than the quality of the current 80. And keep in mind that either way these will be "physical" qubits, not error protected logical qubits. It takes hundreds or thousands of noisy physical qubits to make reliable logical qubits (with error correcting codes).

Frances Haugen, the former Facebook employee who testified before the Senate commerce committee today, has a history of left-wing activism and is working with the same lawyer who represented the alleged Ukraine whistleblower who sparked the second bogus Trump impeachment.

Haugen testified before the Senate Commerce Committee today after getting the celebrity treatment from the establishment media, including a full-length interview on 60 Minutes.

Haugen, unlike other Facebook whistleblowers who have been ignored by the media, has called for more censorship of the platform, not less — and, according to her remarks at the hearing today, wants the government to step in to make it happen.

Not only that, but she believes that she, and people like her, should be in charge of regulating Facebook.

“There needs to be a regulatory home where someone like me could do a tour of duty after working at a place like [Facebook], and have a place to work on things like regulation,” said Haugen.
Unfortunately i don't think you understand how a SPAC works. Retail gets burned, original investors make money through liquidity and so do the executives and whoever brought the SPAC to the market as long as the company doesn't crash and burn before 6 month lock-up.

What you are unintentionally saying is that you don't care if a bunch of smart people just made money off mom and pop (retail) investors if it turns out to be over hyped and doesn't derive value.

If anything that speaks to the longevity and roots of the institute. I’m guessing it was formed way back.

Indeed, 1912.

Keep in mind coal research was HUGE in organic chemistry. It was a major source of precursors like aromatic hydrocarbons which fed the dye industry which was the origination of organic chemistry (it led to the sulfonamide antibiotics).

Germany absolutely dominated organic chemistry in the late 1800s/early 1900s. It was the place to be to do organic chemistry. Many of the top organic chemistry journals today (Angewandte Chemie) are still topic tier journals for researchers.

That’s the history of the institute.

Out of the three things listed, being a horrible manager of people is definitely disqualifying for a presidential candidate (the primary job of the POTS is managing people.)

That said, while Machiavelli has a point, the opposite is also true: that many leaders have fallen due to losing the trust of their key supporters. No king rules alone, knowing how to keep your supporters happy while still being flexible is a vital talent for a democratic leader. Even more so, many states have fallen due to their allies deciding they can no longer be trusted in negotiations, and the president is the face of the US. You can see the consequences untrustworthy presidents have had in our weakening bargaining power with many of our allies, such as the EU’s many talks of becoming more self reliant. Having a president that at least knows how to appear to be keeping their word to people that interact with them is incredibly important in our current geopolitical climate.

Basically, trust isn’t valueless. A good manipulator knows how to weigh the positives and negatives of breaching trust.
It seems like it would be much harder to discover other content I'm interested in though, if it were removed.
Eh, not always. Critical Roll, #1 on the chart with $4.8M, has 24 credited employees, and who knows how much else backing them up.

It’s an entertainment corporation that just happens to run on Twitch.
Until they actually delete the data, there's a way for someone other than you to get to it. It could require a terrible password reset feature or a breach, but the data is still there.
Cover up the leak and pretend it never happened, obviously. Let's make it hard for twitch users to even find out what was leaked about them. That will help.

I think the UI decision here is the genius part. The scrollable feed has become the dominant means of displaying content for so long that it might as well be the default. With such limited space in the feed the curation system has to guess what you'll want to see next - it bases that guess on what will generate the most engaging experience for you, which turns the whole thing into a ratrace for creators. What if I just want to check in on a guy on the internet once every blue moon to see what they're doing? That isn't an option anywhere else, as far as I can see.

I'm looking forward to using Fraidycat.
> That thing that prevents it is evidently the Constitution

Laws don't prevent things.

Laws provide a justification for people who want to prevent things fo act to prevent them.

If there is no will, the law does nothing.
More things to keep an eye out for;

Snippets of open source code.

Commit messages that imply anti-competitive behaviour ("Committing a change to the API to lockout competitor XYZ").

Commit messages that imply code theft ("Using a method that we used at my previous company").

Sometimes things that look sketchy might be innocent but will still cause nightmares for twitch since they'll now have to play defensively as people call into question anything that ever went into the repo.

The tenacity of people getting excited over micro optimizations in Python for more than two decades is remarkable. Nothing has happened despite monumental speed programs that were broadly advertised and marketed to corporations.

Meanwhile, SBCL has an industrial strength compiler that predates Python and its trademark (the SBCL compiler was called "Python" before the trademark, thereby invalidating it). Python (the language) is mainly good at aggressive marketing.

I have two pairs of Samsung buds, both without ANC, that allow me to angle grind or run a table saw while listening to podcasts without needing to turn up the volume. The passive nose cancelation of closed IEMs with a good fit should be on par with ear plugs.

My issue is that most of the loud noises I am trying to block out are non-repeating. ANC is great for rhythmic sounds, but terrible for everything else. A blacksmith friend of mine hates ANC.

My issue now is that the newer Samsung buds all are open, to allow for better ANC. This rules them out for my use case.
No. "Whistleblowers" don't work hand-in-hand with the establishment and the corrupt media to create narratives that are used to increase establishment power. This is an attempt by the left to destroy the meaning of the word "whistleblower". It's also convenient that when people search for "Facebook whistleblower", they'll find stuff like this rather than stuff by genuine journalists like Project Veritas.

Ah I see. I don't see a legal dissolution occurring so that wasn't something I was really tracking (but hey maybe that's the black swan event?). Much more likely IMO is another civil war (unlikely though because we're fat, happy) or the system becomes so dysfunctional that people aren't willing to shed blood to get rid of it, but they largely ignore it.
In my experience (Sony XM4s), while it doesn't eliminate such noises if they're loud enough, it will still significantly reduce their volume to less annoying levels.

Quieter-but-still-annoying volume levels, such as overflying aircraft or loud traffic heard through closed windows, are typically reduced to the point where they're unnoticeable.
1. The vast majority were part of the far-right organizations, it was organized by far-right organizations. We have the evidence, we have their communications, they were stupid enough to post everything on social media, we have the video of their little hoodies and logos.

2. They were armed with flagpoles, knives, baseball bats, fire extinguishers, mace, and guns.

Thank you for not even trying to continue pretending the officers that died just happened to die of unrelated causes. Luckily you dropped that the second you were called on it. They died because they were beaten by a violent mob, as confirmed by several medical examiners. You disrespect their lives when you argue in bad faith otherwise, and the Blue Lives Matter bumper sticker on your car.

I never argued there was an insurrection. I argued that an armed, violent riot was staged and organized by the far right, resulting in the deaths of 5 police officers, and the injury of at least 138 more, and extensive damage to The Capitol. Or as you put it, "a 99.9% peaceful riot." The commander in chief of the US military was not powerful enough to stop it.
I would imagine that the proponents of Facebook are the huge huge amounts of people who are less technologically savvy, don't really give two shits about privacy surrounding data they perceive to given up willingly, and aren't really involved in any sort of discourse.

However, they absolutely love the fact that they've been able to keep in contact with family, old friends, and see the value of the human connection they are able to get through Facebook as far greater than the negatives.
