Why? Pinterest is basically a (human curated) image scraper. Most if not all images it hosts can be found on the open web. If Google blocked Pinterest the exact same images could still be found from their original locations. It's like Google image search indexing Bing image search.

Now Medium is a different story as the content is mostly original.
Isn’t LA extremely sparse to the extent that cycling is a lot of effort because of long distances? I suppose e-bikes help but don’t you still lose a lot of the advantages—less time at the start and end of journeys and less distance from parking areas—to the increased travel time from large distances?
Besides Europe, I remember seeing several sidewalks in Japan that allowed it. And many (most?) streets in Japan are fully mixed across modes, and have no sidewalk, so you'll see bikers+pedestrians(+cars) combined there too.

There's something very nice about these types of mixed streets, but they're pretty much unheard in the US. They work very well on small residential streets, where cars would otherwise get 80% of the street width reserved to their use, even where car traffic is low.

Also, US sidewalks tend to be extremely narrow, which makes it worse to share modes.
I think this mostly a hedge-fund/VC driven insanity, similar to insane amount of money placed on ML.

Somebody sold the idea of Metaverse to someone really rich and now they are going to pour all the money to this stuff.

There is no consumer demand for Metaverse and there won’t be any demand for quite a while until they craft comfortable AR/VR eyeglasses that don’t weight a ton.

That being said I’m sure all those billions spend will produce valuable stuff like GPT-3 of today but is it really cost effective way of advancing the tech?
On the other side of there are bots that impersonate users to send spam or raid servers to overrun moderation and “DoS” the server’s communication. Part of the value proposition of running on Discord or Slack is that they handle offloading a large amount of user verification/spam prevention and moderation tooling. The only one you really have to do is manage rules and have some sort of rotation so at least one moderator is online to handle potential issues.

There are pros & cons of both the forum & chat based communities. Really, it should be determined by the kind of community you're managing and how you want your community members to interact.

Forums are great for debugging & keeping a record of information. If your community works together on projects, chat is the way to go.

I've been curating lists of online communities at the Hive Index. For example, here's my one for programming https://thehiveindex.com/topics/software-development/. In this case, it's about 50/50 split between forum & chat. There are also community platforms experimenting with both forum & chat in the same place, for example circle.so
When I read the original post story I simultaneously thought ‘great’ and upon looking it up ‘that is far too generic a motion with the hand for a signal’.
Intel Mac is fine if you can afford Docker Desktop or get Podman running.
Yeah, great. We all forgot how to do nuclear in western démocraties because we were afraid of accidents and did not trust indépendant oversight.

Now all the nuclear plants will be in state-controlled dictatorships with a disdain for truth.

But I'm pretty sure Greenpeace will organize mediatized flash mobs in tienenman square, sure ?

What could possibly go wrong ?
I agree. Those low interest rates are also driving a ton of refis which people are using to make improvements and renovations. There's tremendous pressure on trade labor.

Also, I suspect immigration restrictions are putting a squeeze on the supply.
One of the riskier aspects of e-bikes is the subversion of other road-user expectations. If I see someone on (what appears to be) a bike, feet on pedals, (apparently) coasting, a few decades of biking and driving lead me to expect that person to stop, or at least slow down. On an e-bike, though, they might maintain speed, or accelerate (!) without any change in attitude.

No harder to judge than a motorcycle, of course, but it will take time for 'static person on bike' to connote 'might accelerate without warning!' to the navigational lizard brain.

I don't agree personally. I've written production services in all versions from 2.0 up to 5.0, including the minor point releases and had no issues (especially most recently).

I know there have been some quality issues on the EF Core side, but on the Framework side everything has been pretty rock solid for me, with easy upgrades between versions.

> you don't necessarily have any guarantee that the lease will be renewed when your rental term is up

Yep, that's exactly my point. It cuts both ways because your landlord also has no such guarantee; if prices decrease then the commitment is a liability not an asset. It just depends on the situation.

My mortgage was contingent on getting insurance and every place offering a decent insurance premium wanted to at least know the condition of the roof. I live in tornado alley though with lots of major hail events so roofing is kind of a big deal. The sellers of the house had a previous contract fail because the buyer failed to get a mortgage approved because of the bad roof, in the end we made a deal with the seller to adjust the sales price a bit and get a new roof on the house (a bit of give and take, we really loved the house otherwise).
I guarantee this is not the simplest guide...
It really is. You can’t even wake the remote from sleep without sending a keypress to the TV. And the trackpad is difficult to use accurately. Totally over engineered for no benefit.
I've been seeing a lot of 3-D printed FDM parts showing up in labs in recent years. Of course you can't 3-D print an MBE or FIB, but maybe you could automate the manufacturing of some significant apparatus to the point where you really could download a cutfile from Thingiverse, cut it out on a CNC plasma table, and have it MIG-welded together by robots, so that, like custom T-shirts or FDM-printable parts, it can be cheap even without being high-volume. Even some high-vacuum apparatus might be accessible by that kind of route. A friend of mine has been doing a lot of optics fabrication via UV stereolithography.
This is actually harder to do in practice and is a common misunderstanding of the twin paradox, which is resolved by incorporating acceleration into the model.

You'll have better luck with gravity wells.
That's nice to hear. Did you have regular blood work done? I'm only asking as I'm undergoing a bit of a shift in my own diet lately and am keenly interested in other peoples' experiences. Such drastic weight loss isn't in the cards for me, but it's interesting to hear about.
I suppose another geopolitical aspect of this is that China doesn't want to be dependent on other nations for fuel. If they became involved in a war or even just anger their trading partners in some way, the rest of the world can shut off their energy supply.

For that matter, even if they're on great terms with all their trading partners, those trading partners might ask themselves "why are we selling coal to some other country so they can get the benefit when we have to live with the CO2 emissions as if we had burned it ourselves?" To be honest, I don't understand why the U.S. exports coal at all; it just doesn't seem worth it. (Though I can see where the coal lobby might have something to say about it if such legislation was proposed.)
Yeah .. but there is one aspect in this argumentation: C# is everywhere a reasonable contender. So while you rarely get a dominant position (Unity and Backends) you get a lot of second places (Apps, Desktop, ...) which complement your full stack experience in an awesome language. And this is different to other languages: Python/Go: no-show in apps; JavaScript: no-show in data science; Swift: no-show in backends (thanks IBM).

From a management perspective, this is not bad. You get movable team members. In my company we have moved people from WinForms app, to cloud deployed micro-portals and then to a Apple/Android App (all different solutions .. not a migration). C# play a big role in that.

I think this is again a dark-matter-developer / line-of-business situation.

There's a local hydroponic place near me with a similar issue. Their lettuce is amazing but officially won't be classified as organic despite not using pesticides/herbicides at all, and likely very limited fertilizer if any.
Only a tiny handful of expensive sports cars can actually reach 200 mph. While there a few limited exceptions, in most jurisdictions anyone caught driving at 200 mph will be arrested and the car impounded.
Again success, dominating the room, being at the center of the attention at parties, people being receptive when you go talk to them, after the aforementioned positive reception also showing openess for a second encounter.
> Jony Ive was only able to get away with the damaging push to flat design after Steve Jobs died

Sadly, true.

> and since Ive has left Apple, beautiful skeuomorphic gradients, lighting, embosses, drop shadows, and photo-real elements, have started to return.

Not really. Where have you seen this return? It hasn't, not in any significant way. The damage Ive did seems more or less permanent.

Jony Ive is only part of the problem. The other problems is hatred towards Scott Forstall. Since Scott was a proponent of skeuomorphism, one way remaining Apple execs stuck it to Forestall is by losing skeuomorphism, and then opening deriding skeuomorphism during the reveal of iOS7.
Saying to yourself, "I will respond with 1 line of dialog to the next person who hits me up" is deliberate, although the event itself will come randomly.

Your train of thought here reflects classic avoidant behavior -- it's not therapeutic unless I'm in control of all the variables. Certainly you're correct depending on the type of fear being extinguished -- dropping buckets of spiders randomly on someone afraid of spiders isn't likely to help things at all, nor is dropping someone with GAD in the middle of a crowded concert -- but for the particular phobia (social anxiety) and exposure (small talk with strangers in public) we're talking about in this thread, it's definitely the low-stakes kind of exposure exposure therapy aims to provide.
> this is what we get when interest rates are so low

I think it's what we get when the voting base is homeowners who want to protect property values with restrictive building policy.

Edit: To expound a bit... one has to ask why, given that there is a huge and growing market of buyers and would-be buyers if they could afford it, the market is not producing supply like you describe for baby boomers. My anecdotal understanding of this is that there are just a ton of boomers who don't want to build anymore, who want to "protect the character" of their neighborhoods, and would prefer that new would-be-buyers look elsewhere.
But then add:

- repeating that signal
- looking quite distressed

and it might be useful.
I pay for a Reddit subscription, but it’s honestly not a great place for communities.

The communities on Reddit is in my experience always lower quality, more combative and less friendly than communities on discord, discourse and irc.
Safari (all versions) lets you set domains to load in readability mode. 'Auto Reader View' extension adds the same thing to Firefox.

Mailing lists!
I think both a forum (async) and some form of IM (sync) communication are needed, but I think IM should really just be just for developers.

Mailing lists are a great option as far as async comms go, but maybe are a little intimidating for laymen for whatever reason. Other than that, they're well trodden and Google Groups is still pretty solid, although the lack of categories (other than just a ton of different mailing lists, which an option)

>Stopping the conversation with a friendly dismissal, a as you said, is a reasonable reaction.

To clarify, I didn't mean that "chuckle and a reply and off you go" was the means to extricate oneself from such a situation although, as you said, it's a reasonable thing to do.

I meant that an "offhand remark, a chuckle and a reply and off you go" was the whole point of such an interaction -- not some sort of prelude to something beyond that.
I find this happens to me on a normal bike and its one of the main problems I deal with. A driver comes to a corner and looks to give way and sees a cyclist, depending on their judgement after their initial glimpse of me they might think I'm going slow only to realise I'm actually travelling much quicker. They pull out and I have to brake in order to not hit them.

I think we've all done the same thing in a car as well as some point.

Google's search is the best in the world. They're just locking it up and cutting its wings so to speak. They flipped a switch a long time ago to stop the image searches being accurate or allowing actual advanced usage. It was scarily good for a while before that.
The semantic point I was trying to make is that calling anyone a "grave robber" can be reasonably interpreted to imply the victim of the theft is those whose grave it is. Namely the dead. They're dead, so they certainly aren't consenting to the archeologists' activity either.

But I of course agree the archeologists aren't robbers. But that's because we as a society don't see the artefacts as belonging to the dead, as the phrase "grave robbers" can imply, rather they belong to the current living people and our institutions. So the original thieves aren't robbing from the dead, they're robbing from the people.

That said, there's something extra bad about robbing from the cultural heritage of the people AND desecrating the graves of the dead in the process. I would presume the archeologists would treat the area and the remains of people which much more respect. I really don't think the term "grave robber" is wrong, I just found it semantically interesting. Maybe another term could be "grave desecrating antiquity thieves"
My grip with pip freeze is that it doesn't differentiate dependencies from dependencies-of-dependencies. So you might end up in dependency hell when trying to remove or modify something.
I really detest the word "just." It's the ultimate signifier that someone hasn't properly engaged with a problem.
I'm mostly playing devil's advocate, but there could definitely be a process around that 2FA token that isn't there for a password reset.

Verifying the employee's mailing address vs just replying to them over the phone or email sounds like a hurdle. Might not be the same person shipping out the token, so now you have to prove it to two people. Blockers like that.

From the perspective of stability-loving wealth, unfettered research is opening pandora's box.

At last, the internet, opium of the masses, finally neutralizes the intelligent classes.

Wealth will not care for genuine research until two aliens races war bitterly over some unique natural resource we take for granted. We will not recover.
> that the plausible deniability goes out the window the minute they host their own infrastructure

NSO operates the infrastructure and customers provide a list of phone numbers. They will launch exploitation against the provided numbers without any knowledge of who owns the phone (as long as the number isn't from a restricted country like Israel or the US). Once the implant calls back it goes to a portal where the customer can control it.

I'd fault NSO for a lot of things, but they just aren't in a position to know if a burner phone belongs to a journalist or a foreign diplomat until it has been popped. They do have to trust their customers to an extent.

I'm working on a new open discussion site at https://sqwok.im that mixes chat with topical posts in an open and accessible UI.

The issue of highlighting/indexing important messages and series of messages has come up recently and it's something I want to focus on in the near future.

While not specifically designed as forum software, I would be curious to learn if it could solve some of the issues people have brought up regarding searchability, indexing, and displaying more long-lived content.

We can already see how the laws of physics might accommodate energy not being conserved - and from there a small hop to perpetual motion machines.

Energy conservation relies on time translation symmetry. In other words, that the laws of physics do not change over time. Well, perhaps they do change slowly.

A prime example of this is the expansion of spacetime, which can reduce the energy of a photon travelling through empty space - it's redshifted. This has been experimentally observed.

See https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/blog/2010/02/22/energy-... for more details.
It is, but there's still a standard system style that the majority of the apps are expected to use. Which is exactly what WPF uses - it's fairly easy to see if you take a WPF app and observe the differences on Win7/8/10.

In any case, surely, adding yet another different style only makes the problem worse.
I agree, it is not so different from second life, and this is what makes it scary.

You may think second life was a failure because it never caught on mainstream, but in many ways second life was a huge success. Many many people spent an insane amount of time in second life. Major companies, political parties, art museums, and other “real life” institutions setup shop in second life. You could get a job there building stuff, selling land or being a journalist publishing in second life. I read somewhere that a second life real estate agent became a usd millionaire from buying selling virtual land.

Some people just got totally sucked in. I met a woman who told me she would spend so many hours on it that she didn’t take proper care of her kids. She seemed like someone who was having a hard time in real life, and she found a great escape on SL. It was so easy to make friends, and the exploration of the world was endless.

Immersion was definitely a key to its success. It was good enough to make the player feel stuff. Sit around a fire on a beach at sunset would be soothing. Walking around a Western town would kind of stress you out. It worked.

It’s not for everyone for sure. But what’s scary is that the metaverse is going to pray on the weak, on people with insecurities, on the lonely and the elderly. People who can’t walk in real life are going to fly over cities with birds and meet similarly lonely people. What’s going to happen when they unplug?

Healthy individuals already experience some withdrawal from VR, saying things like “real life is dull compared to what I can do in VR”.

Now, of all companies, the one doing it has a history of optimizing for “time spent in the app”. Disregarding all kind of predatory behavior in the name of profit.

My prediction is that the metaverse is going to turn into “brainwashing as a service”.

The only hope is that VR headsets are too expensive to become widespread.

This is going to be difficult to fight. When you have a “join meeting in metaverse” button in whats app, who’s going to not click it?
Why not? It still limits bot creation (same number can only be used every 6 months). They don't actually want to know if the number belongs to you. Not much different than using a burner number.
Depressingly spot-on.

Although one peculiarity of the V republic is missing : it is in theory possible for the elected president and the elected parlement to have different political colors.

It is much rarer now that the term of both president and MP are 5 years long, and both elections happen a few month. But three times in my lifetime, we have been in so called "cohabitation", where a "modern-democracy"-styled prime minister was governing, under the theorical authority of the elected monarch.

This really was not the worst of time. It would have actually been a very nice way to govern, if the PMs had not caught delusion of "grandeur" at the end of their terms.

I would vote for separzting the elections, and barring any PM from running for president.
100% agree.

You can use smart cards as plain SSH keypairs and sshd will of course log the fingerprint of the key used to authenticate. That's pretty foolproof accountability.
This is super frustrating. Discord requires server operators to enable phone number verification if they want any of the additional "Community" features. It's a hugely backwards requirement and it's the main reason I haven't given the community feature set a second look for any of the servers I run.
