How is it apples fault that reddit made these terrible decisions to their own mobile website? The iPhone has been around for over a decade and the mobile reddit website becoming useless and terrible is only a recent phenomenon.
Me too, with my dead on submit comments.
Commenters here seem to be taking OP's assertion as gospel, but right now the front page has maybe 3 items on it that I'd call "business news".
Canada signed the most deals but are you aware that Canada had delivery dates months scheduled for months later in the contracts which is why Canada had no recourse but to wait. Just to keep face 250k dose were flown in before the year but the contracts expected some delivery by March but most by summer.
Probably that there’s a real person named Satoshi Nakamoto out there, who’s an autistic savant that authored BitCoin v0.1.

The green revolution was a big increase in the carrying capacity of the Earth.

> Does your sentiment that we apparently couldn’t feed ourselves take into account population growth? What if the population had simply not grown as it did?

Of course it does. Listen to yourself here. You're saying that it'd have been better for billions of people to simply not have lived at all and for growth to be capped for all time. Would you go back in time, prevent the green revolution, and erase all those billions of people from history?

Christ, I think you would.

Limiting growth means billions, if not trillions, of people will simply never exist at all. All those moments of hope and joy and rest and relief: never existed, all on your say-so. We have a word for that: genocide.

We don't need to limit humanity's growth. We need to go to the stars.
That seems like fairly innocuous A-B testing.
Paid off in what exactly? Many of our provincial governments have implemented totalitarian measures despite an insanely high vaccination rate and low death rate - creating a medically segregated society.

In one province, the government has given itself vast power to perform warrantless search, confiscate property and conscript any person to the cause of "managing the emergency". Our courts uphold the measures because of the 'unprecedence' of a global pandemic of a disease with a median survival rate of 99.8% where the VAST majority of deaths are in people over 60 and in many places we have vaccination rates higher than 95% in that demographic.

The federal government is about to implement a no-fly or rail policy for unvaccinated people - whether you are a citizen or not. If you're a foreign national from overseas you better get out while you still can - the Berlin Wall is going up.

CBC is the state funded broadcaster, take everything they write with a grain of salt, like you would with RT for example.
Yelp is just like this too on mobile.

It is free. Will it be free for ever? How will you make money out of this?
The WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch who is very open about his distaste for his view of Big Tech as having a liberal bias and taking away money from journalists. Every newspaper faces an existential threat from Google and Facebook redirecting advertising revenues towards themselves.

That being said, this doesn’t mean that Facebook doesn’t have harmful effects. Facebook can lead to negative effects on users, but you have to take content by media platforms notoriously publicly opposed to it with a grain of salt
> Robust and portable, until someone tries compiling it with LLVM 13 that you haven't tested on…

Yes, new compilers are able to get new insight into what is broken with your code. You can either:

a) ignore that and let your users continue with the brokenness, since that is convenient at build-time (but the consequent failures in the field of whatever that code is integrated in may be extremely inconvenient for all downstream users)

b) learn about it, and fix your code upstream so all users can benefit from the fixes
"In a study published by Springer-Verlag, anyone who constantly handles BPA receipt paper is prone to be exposed to an estimated 71 micrograms of BPA which is 42 times less than the tolerable daily intake." (https://pandapaperroll.com/the-pros-and-cons-of-bpa-free-the...) Sadly no source to that paper.

https://www.possupply.com/paper-rolls/thermal-receipt-roll-p... was my first hit when looking for BPA/BPS-free paper.
> I always thought that staring at monitors with blinding brightness is what causes retinal damage, not just blue light specifically.

Just curious, did it ever occur to you how much more blinding even a cloudy day outside is? Adjust cd/m2 to roughly match the ambient brightness of the room, that's general ergonomic advise.
Cultural Appropriation Can Be Beautiful
Running it in a VM and then connecting to that VM via VNC and going full screen was a revelation to me. Even over wifi it wasn’t that far off. Completely recommend.
Also remember to look for replaying using Roland MT-32 emulation for enhanced music: some adventure titles had better music and effects with that card, and for some folks it was not easy to have it.
Some people are curious and constantly learning new things. Some people don't and just do the same stuff over and over again. So the fact some people are more experienced than the others even after spending the same number of years in the industry is actually on them, it's their achievement.

I've seen a few situations where an "experienced" team of developers struggled to solve a problem for weeks and eventually an outsider, with even no prior experience with the technology stack / framework they were using, came and fixed it for them in a day. People like that definitely exist and they are not effective because they have just solved the same problem before. I think they are effective because they often learned the fundamentals (theory) properly and then they spent a lot of time in different areas. I guess there is some kind of a network effect there - if you solved problems of unrelated types A, B, C you're more likely to be able to solve a different problem D, than a person who only ever solved problems of type A.
Can't do that on iOS at least. With the amount of reddit posts submitted here, we need a hard rule.
On iOS?
Several things make me skeptical about this browser.

1) Homepage is a bit uncared for. The Copyright shows "2020" at the bottom, the top screenshot looks doctored rather than being a real screenshot.

2) It's owned by an ad marketing platform, System1, as noted in the FAQ.

On the plus side, the Github repository is active.
rif is fun is the best reddit client
When I still did online gaming, we'd tried a couple of different tools but the last one we settled on making everyone, even the non-tech-savvy, happy was Mumble because it was lightweight, no frills, low-lag with good audio and decent detection for auto enabling and disabling voice for people (like me) that didn't like extra buttons for push-to-talk.

Quite interesting indeed. I'm most interested in the submarines and technology involved in performing such operations. How do they operate? what modifications are needed? what computing platforms do they possess? That being said, I really like the idea of submarine super computing platforms. Not because it brings to life the inner Tom Clancy, but knowing that a small part of the idea may present some kind of practical utility in the world of clandestine operation.
The UTF-8 BOM still has some uses, unfortunately. I had to convince Excel to parse a CSV file as UTF-8 and inserting a BOM at the beginning of the file was the easiest solution.
And what is your point? The only countries that had a large amount of doses in the first few months of 2021 were the countries producing the vaccine. There was no way that the US would produce for export before vaccinating their own population.

Canada had no local production. There was literally nothing they could do but wait. Its of course a problem not to have local production. But it’s not a lack of orders that was the issue, everything was ordered early in 2020, there was just no doses available.
Canada placed their bets with the Chinese who Canada gave money to for research but then refused to provide research and excluded Canada going forward.
That's not fair. Don't forget submissions whining about account suspension or otherwise getting "customer support" (as if you were a customer) at random FAANG to care. Or connect-the-dots submissions about the latest cloud zoo, Javascript, CSS, REST, or Rust fad. Or scary outlooks into the minds and state of Functional Programming community members, ycombinator and all. Or meme-y post-acquihire Incredible Journey submissions, or faux let's disrupt x ones. Or MS tech stack shillfests. Wondering how far labeling posts by above categories would get us towards S/N discrimination.
One of the worst parts of reddit apps are that you don't have browser history anymore so you can never find anything again.

> Your reading of the arguments here as "against science" are a straw man.

You're right. The arguments I'm reading here are not "against science". That's too specific. The arguments I'm reading here are actually against humanity.

As I mentioned in another post, suggesting that it would have been a good thing that the population not have grown over the past century is the same as wishing to wipe billions of people, along with their minds, memories, and experiences, out of history.

And for what would you erase these billions of lives? So some fish? A few trees? A few rocks? A toad spotted in some special way? None of these things can sing, feel hope, dream, or even suffer. Humans can. The desire to limit human growth on ecological grounds is monstrous and anti-human and there's no word for it other than "evil".
As far as I understand, the choice was an informed guess based on theoretical understanding of how vaccines work.

For most vaccines, the time between doses is measured in months, not weeks. Those vaccines were tested slowly over years, and the tests focused on finding the most effective timing between doses. Covid-19 vaccines were developed in a hurry, and the priority was getting them approved as quickly as reasonably possible. Testing therefore focused on the shortest time between doses that was expected to produce good enough results. Even if longer spacing was expected to be more effective, testing it would have delayed the approval by months.

Mixing vaccines also makes theoretical sense. Exposing the immune system to a more diverse range of threats may provide a more robust response when the virus mutates. Testing mixed vaccines is just more difficult in practice, because each company develops and tests its vaccines independently.
By reading the subtitle 'a perfect ballance between privacy and usability' i think that it wont have privacy and might be less user friendly that other browsers.

Also, the statement that you try to collect less data doesn't says anything about privacy.
same, but be prepared to no longer be offered those kinds of positions

as long as your resume/linkedin shows that you have clearly passed once and have exceeded "leetcode level" for a number of years, you should already be getting emails for "Staff/Lead" positions that end with "got 15 minutes for a chat to see if we're right for you?"

helps to have a site/project/blog/portfolio along with a github to breeze past the phone/culture screens :)
By that point you will need three same dose vaccinations to be fully vacced.
Stop playing devil's advocate. It's worse than useless because it takes away the best part of computing: our freedom to own, operate and modify.

> Expecting the x86/MS platform to stay open forever is not realistic, because the incentives are biased towards locking down.

It's only unrealistic when these fatalist certainties are pushed as inevitable. Free, live free is more than the name of a novella, it's an act to be performed, to fight for.

So yes, say no to the TPM and other such measures such as SafetyNet, which are worse than useless to the most important endgame, to live free.
Running it in a remote VM somewhere on the cloud you mean?

Millenials were born between about 1980 and 1995. Quite a few are already around 40. What you mean is probably Gen Z of which some are around 25.
Thanks for sharing this. I tried 3 of the tools mentioned in this thread, in addition to having tried the O&O tool before, and https://privacy.sexy/ resonated with me the most. It's the easiest to understand and also makes it much easier to make smaller incremental changes. Due to the "revert" toggles and heavy commenting, it's easy to roll back if anything breaks.
I am surprised that no one here has stated the obvious, that the release of information on big participants in the USA _could_ be released next. The summary page at the Guardian says "What has been revealed so far?" That implies that more may be revealed. If I was going to out the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world I'd take the time to get my facts straight and investigate all the legal angles.
Also since this is a distributed project some reporters may be taking longer to dig into their sub-projects.
Wow. If anyone else found this intriguing and wasn’t aware of this this product category was emerging, their demo video is pretty impressive [0]. I’m balking at $1100 for 13.3”, but if they could get the price down a bit these would be great second screens for writing and email. I’d need minimal color support for coding, but that would also sell like hotcakes.

Edit: wow, they have a 25” monitor set to retail for $3k. Come on early adopters, get this price down for the rest of us!

This type of innuendo based commentary is a staple of Fox and conservative media.

Your point would be stronger if you attacked her arguments directly.
Do you have the same counter to other dev/beta releases, such as firefox nightly, or is it only considered evil “unpaid work” when Microsoft do it?
A traditional vaccine candidate was happening between a tiny Canadian group and a Chinese group. It didn't pan out.

At the same time Canada had placed orders for literally hundreds of millions of vaccines from the major pharmas, doing so before almost anyone (your claim about shipment dates is just as factually deficient, as an aside).

Canada was ill prepared for a pandemic because it relied upon free trade and allowed for the hollowing out of medical manufacturing. Hopefully a lesson has been learned.
I don't think people are asking for a regulation of speech, but really a regulation on usage of dark patterns, and FB practically wrote the book on these.
Sadly, corporate IT usually mandates Mac/Windows, so nuking it and installing Linux is probably a no-go.
Scale matters. Each power of 10 is a whole other level. A niche horse girl forum might have thousands, maybe 10s of thousands of users? FB has billions. That's 6 orders of magnitude more relevance and impact, which is planet-wide. That's why we should care.
What I'm not is a 0.1x programmer, and there are plenty of those out there.

It depends on one's perspective, I guess.

An alternative perspective is that the original commenter is doing the authors a favour by highlighting that their writing is currently easily misinterpreted and would benefit from revision.
There was a marked shift many years ago. SV seems to have recruited too many people, so inevitably the discussion shifts to the average worker. It's all about management now, so obscure hacking content will not be upvoted. It has also become too 'corporate' , focused on big tech and funding, and not the indie heroes. The comments have become more personal, in line with the me-culture of the time.

This is of course a subjective view coming from my observations that I often learn new management/marketing terms that i shouldn't be learning, being constantly perplexed by the career ladders mentioned, and learning about tools that are useless to anyone but google.

Also don't forget the constant shilling about various paid services that are the second coming of christ until the next second coming.
Yep ios 15 has them now. Or you can use apollo and make it open there.
The government's actions I can understand. The courts decisions based on 'unprecedence' events is troublesome. It creates a low barrier for the removal of any rights. An event will happen like this again.

Right. I’ve never experienced dialog or writing where somebody elects a gendered pronoun based on the pseudonymous handle used to reference the antecedent when their gender is either irrelevant, unspecified, or unknown. I’m curious which communities practice this colloquially?
> None of those diseases have high kill rates.

Hep A - 0.3% for adults ages 15 to 39, and 2.1% for adults ages 40 and old [1]

Hep B - 14% [2]

Influenza - 0.2% (calculated from stats on wikipedia)

Tetanus - <15% with treatment, >25% without treatment [3]

Covid - 1.4% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 have a fatal outcome, while 98.6% recover [4]

So no, most of those diseases have much higher kill rate than covid. Also, those vaccines have been proven over decades. Covid vaccines have barely been studied for a year.

Not much information on the home page on why to use this and not Firefox. As this is derivative of Firefox, then what does it add over Firefox?
The oldest flaw in collectivism is the assumption that people will collectively care about something they don't individually care about.

The bees are dying. Is taking action on this enough to change your vote from the party you ordinarily vote for to the alternative?

If not, and that means your representative can benefit in taking money from the insecticide companies without losing your vote, what result?

Notice how big a factor polarization is in this. The more people who have chosen a team and won't be dissuaded from supporting their side no matter what, the less politicians have to care what people think because it won't change enough votes to affect the outcome. Which is why everything is currently a shambles.

People individually have to take responsibility for their part in a systemic problem. It's a serious cultural problem to tell everybody that they don't need to do this unless someone is holding a gun to their head. Because the same culture says that doing the selfish thing is reasonable and good, and if that's true, why should they vote to ban it?

Meanwhile if people individually accept that they have to make some personal sacrifices to avoid doing harm then you barely need legislation at all, and to the extent that you do it can be a minimal fine with minimal enforcement that only acts as an anchor point. Because a culture where individuals are trying not to do collective harm only needs some notice that a given thing does collective harm, not jackboots with billy clubs. The opposite culture is doomed either way.
> Older people learn that, even if you have zero

I agree that there is no good analogy for what Facebook is, because it is different. But I think what people really mean when they say this is that Facebook has largely supplanted those things. This might not be true where you are, or for your specific circle, but it is the case in many places.

Facebook penetration in my country is so complete, I would wager there is absolutely no way to, say, successfully run for public office without at least maintaining an active Facebook page. This is why I say that Facebook must be destroyed. It is not acceptable that some company half the world away, based on American morals and American interests, gets to decide who can and cannot realistically get elected here.

I think these two systems explore different design spaces, the biggest difference I would say is Roapi can apply more read optimizations by exploiting the fact that it doesn't need to support frequent online updates from the client. Most of the datasets it serves will be static. For data-sources that supports streaming updates like delta tables, the update frequency will be much lower than what clickhouse supports.
