"And it was to be foreseen that with the passage of time the distinguishing characteristics of Newspeak would become more and more pronounced — its words growing fewer and fewer, their meanings more and more rigid, and the chance of putting them to improper uses always diminishing."

As someone with a lot of experience with psilocybin, there's all this mysticism around it. People act like you're injecting fentanyl. If someone doesn't have a license and training, you're going to instantaneously see flying demon dragons and go schizophrenic.

It's actually fairly tolerant over quite a large range and I know a lot of people who have used over the last year and they are all in spectacular shape.

It reminds me about all that nonsense on HN last year about how if you weren't tested and trained on wearing N95 masks, you wouldn't be able to use them effectively. People over-rate licensing.

At the moment they also don't differentiate between fast and slow cores either. It's interesting to route processes that need to be more responsive to the faster cores and dedicate the slower ones to more lag-tolerant things, a bit how mainframes route IO tasks to specialized processors or macOS routes system threads to the efficient cores, leaving the good ones to the user.
I am alluding to the current party in the White House that gets every video downvoted into oblivion. Some sites accused YouTube of deleting the downvotes.

Now they are giving up and just hiding them now.
"flag" is used as dislike
If you are in Canada, acquiring them from reputable sources is very easy. Also, growing them is not too difficult. Depending on your location, spores can be easy to find too, and then the quality control is ultimately all up to you.
Twitter users solved this with the "ratio"
The 2B "loss" was a downswing of Didi stock, which Uber has a big stake on; AFAIK Uber didn't actually liquidate that position, so it's more of a paper money loss. See [0]

As for "creative accounting", pretty much everyone in this industry segment uses EBITDA. That's the language investors and media use to talk about earnings calls for not just Uber, but also Lyft, Doordash, etc. If you want to make a case for why GAP analysis would make more sense vs EBITDA given the maturity of the industry, I suppose a more elaborated argument is in order?

Performance is probably correlated with good governance, so that has a high risk of wasting money on a company that's unable to spend it efficiently. It even gives their leaders a break from having to improve efficiency, because the pork keeps them from going bankrupt whatever they do.
What chrome setting changed my profiles with an extension installation?

Why does it only happen with your extension and not the hundreds of others I have installed without this problem?

Also I can still see the count: as of this writing it is 2.8K up and 1.6K down.
Yea, I agree, its dangerous for people to express their opinions especially if it changes or influences others.

We should hide the dislike count so the mindless don't submit to "bad think"
That's absurd. Being careful with irreversible damage is not fear, it's completely rational.
> If one does care but do nothing then he/she doesn't really care. I actually think people are getting used to it bit refuses to admit.

That makes no sense. "Getting used to it" is a coping mechanism for powerlessness. Of course people care, but they also care about living out the rest of their lives and not sacrificing themselves to a thankless hopeless political cause with unclear solutions.
> It is funny that you are using the existence of a segment of the population that I am a part of, to make your claim but aren't willing to listen when a member of the segment is trying to explain how non-ASCII characters and coding do not mix well.

Why is it funny? I'm also a member of that group. English is not my native language.

> But it's not like the whole non English speaking world is waiting for this to happen.

I don't think we should have to wait for this to happen. In many ways, it's already happened: most modern languages already support unicode symbols.

> People code in English even in teams where everyone speaks Finnish. Nobody even questions it, because it's so obvious that all code should be in English and ASCII.

Relatively few people speak english in my country. I have only a few friends who do. A whole team of people writing code in english just doesn't seem likely where I live. I actually tried writing english code in such a context once, the result was a mixed language mess that I quickly reverted back to my native language. Unicode support is great because it makes the non-english code much more readable.

Europeans in general seem to know english very well. This is not the case everywhere. Somehow making english a requirement for programming just doesn't sound fair to me.
Right, but, the owners end up pocketing a substantial portion of investor money. Look at WeWork.

If you need 10 rounds of funding to keep running, your profit model is "obtain investor money".

(Probably controversial, but IMO 3 rounds of funding is pretty sus.)

“Not servicing loan payments, actually buying cars”.

The average family isn’t but a whole new (used, but new to them) car every month. The percentage of people actually buying cars right now is a small fraction of the population. For everyone else, the price they bought their car was set when they bought it, and inflation has no affect on their loan payments.
Wow, this is still being developed?

> It's hard to say Fukushima was a case of "doing it wrong."

If you tsunami safety plan in a country prone to have tsunamis fits in one page and has not been updated in the last 9 years to include the new scientific data, yes, you are doing it wrong.

If your plans calculate less than 6m high waves as a maximum and there is a 14m high wave event. If your calculus failed for more than 50%, not, this is not a good job. You could have done much more.

Can blame the nature or the bad luck, or the constellations, but you are just lying to yourself.
> What is the round trip loss from heating up rocks and getting the energy back? It is huge. And you artfully forgot to mention all the equipment needed to get the energy back out in usable form such as electricity.

If you store the energy by heating the rocks, you can recover it to heat your house by simply blowing air over the rocks. No need to convert it to electricity, which would indeed be silly.

The same goes for air conditioning. Excess electricity could be used to cool the rocks, which then can be used to cool your house when electricity is expensive.

The detour through the rocks (or anything with thermal mass) costs next to nothing.

I am not talking about using the EV battery to run the house. I am talking about using the EV battery to run the EV. Simply charge it when electricity rates are cheaper. It's shifting the demand.

They are perfectly and cheaply implementable, and are part of the solution.

> Plus now authoritarian governments get to serve out even more propaganda talking about videos that are liked and the opposition has no way to see that the opposite also happens.

Well, yes, that is their agenda. The web as it was was not nearly as friendly for those with money and power.

Now, authoritarian governments and scumbag celebrities will project power over us, just like in the real world.

There are secret whitelists so that influencers like Logan Paul can fully monetize commuting crimes on YouTube (like desecrating a corpse)[2].

Celebrities are permitted to engage in targeted harassment or fraud, and people that call them out are banned.[1]

And of course, governments can engage in all sorts of war crimes, and big tech will censor anyone that tries blowing the whistle[3].

Facebook is happy to censor anything for dictators, but perhaps they will soon go the extra mile and just report people directly to the secret police. They could have a nice dashboard that shows up for local death squads of anyone that questions the leader.

And frankly, this is the future most of us welcomed. We defended all of this because muh private platforms. We consented to letting these big tech platforms set the rules. We welcomed anyone with an incongruent opinion banned.

The internet used to be a domain where scumbag fatcats didn't control everything, and you had some chance of speaking truth to power.

It will only get worse. Find out Dupont is dumping toxic waste in your back yard? Just a word from their PR dept and all of your accounts will be banned. Think you can speak directly to the people? Your domain name will be seized, your Cloudflare account closed, and any app permitted on peoples devices will have to ban you if they don't want to be removed.

Very good documentary on the project. It's amazing what you can do with basically an unlimited budget. I worked at a much, much smaller kite power startup that folded soon after Google stopped funding Makani (investors lost interest because they figured if Google wasn't funding in this space it must not be viable). Anyway, looking at that documentary it seemed clear that Google must've poured hundreds of millions of dollars into that company over it's lifetime. So many engineers and so many resources. I was kind of envious, but then again the ready funding might have been part of Makani's downfall, you're forced to make different design decisions when money isn't so plentiful.
I have had limited opportunities to have ongoing talk therapy, but I've done a lot of the heavy lifting of CBT on my own throughout the years (both during psychedelic trips and in my day-to-day life).

For me the psychedelic trips have been an opportunity to focus on a subset of CBT (challenging negative thoughts + behavioural activation), while in the day-to-day CBT I've focused more on keeping in mind the cognitive-behavioural model as well as an index of cognitive distortions to test my flowing thoughts against. It's a bit challenging to try to hold on to your flowing thoughts when under the influence of noticeable doses of psychedelics, and that's why I focused more on specific points of trauma as well as noticeable reactions (literally looking at my face in the mirror at times). I've personally noticed two different moments post-trip: the first few hours to days where clarity of mind is much higher than my baseline and I can transform the work of the trip into something tangible in the long run (like a commitment to the gym), and the next few weeks where I sense an initially sharp and then gradual fading out of any "afterglow" from the trip, which is why I've come to see those trips as shock therapy even when I can extract something positive beyond the horizon of time of that "afterglow". I've also noticed that this whole system worked less and less well with the years, the window of time going from months to weeks to days, even as I spaced apart the psychedelic trips more and more (1/month -> 3-4/year -> 1/year or less).

I used to be a bit wary of inherent bias from researchers all too eager to share positive things with the world, but with the widening of the Overton window regarding psychedelics and the success of the cannabis market in many places in the world I've also started to be wary of financial interests in the subject. Nonetheless, I'm really looking forward to the new research coming out around psychedelics because there's just so much that we don't actually know properly with science to back it up - and more teams to work on the subject will offer more chances to figure out what's going on within that expansive world.
This is interesting, can you give some examples?
My take on it is that there is a number of diverse creators on the platform, and many YT users see a very different set of creators. E.g. You might see creators X, Y, Z and I might watch A, B, C for different topics. So, when it comes time to rewind, you can't please everyone since you'll have to pick a subset of creators. And then those who didn't see their favorite creators will be saying things like "Where was creator J? I watched so many of their videos, and they have a billion views, etc." And they might dislike the video, because they feel not represented. So, in my mind, the YT way to do rewind would be to do a custom rewind for each person (but there's no technology to automatically make a high quality video like that today).

Of course, this is just my theory about a segmentation of the population. Then there are people with their own agenda, and will use the dislike button as a protest for other things. Then once it reaches some threshold, some people just like to hit the dislike button to see how far they can push it.

If you've noticed a lot more paywalls going up it's because the era of clickbait is actually dying. Serious newsrooms have always hated it and shriveling ad revenue has finally tipped back towards subscriptions being the most viable path to profit. Content farms and their SEO game is far less valuable than it used to be.
Guess my insecurity comes from not having any kind of programming or even math background. Esp in group game jams, I have a feeling I'd be the weakest link and everyone would yell at me.

Even Terence McKenna, who himself was likely part mushroom given how many he ingested, said time and time again that mushrooms are resistant to abuse.

I thought it really funny and disingenuous when the article quoted “We didn't think it would go viral as we saw over the last few days. We have been very pleased with that and hopefully that carries the message and emphasises the challenges that we are facing in Tuvalu at the moment,"

Alphabet as a whole yes, but the question I think is how much they made from Google Shopping specifically. If the fine was greater than amount of money they made with what they were getting fined about (multiplied by the chance of getting caught, probably higher for google than most), then they EU would successfully discourage similar rule breaking in the future. While alphabet's total income for the year may be that high, most of that comes from ads and not shopping, and penalizing just the shopping related income makes sense in that light.

The alternative argument is that what you really want a fine to do is penalize law-infringing heavily enough that a companies' shareholders make not getting fined again high priority. In that light, you're primarily concerned about levying fines against a company's profit margin/funds they're using to invest in future growth. In which case, yeah, this fine is far too paltry to concern investors in a vacuum.
That's a comparison I hadn't thought of. But the difference is that North Korea shares a border with its patron state, China, which is also a global super power.

While South Africa had the support of the United States, it was thousands of miles away from the US, and surrounded by Black African-run states that were hostile to it, particularly Mozambique and Angola. South Africa did not have the resources to run a North Korean-style police state.

> IMO this article comes off a little strong.

Is that not the point? The author could have tempered their words to fit into something more palatable to a wider audience. But then they'd be saying what they think would be easily received and not what they actually felt.

I whole-heartedly agree with the author that much of the difficulty for many writers is having the courage to say what they mean. And it takes courage to say that that's the problem, because it risks hurting readers' feelings. But that kind of shock might be necessary to get people out of their rut.

And, even if not, if it's what the author feels, I respect their honesty. I'd rather read something heartfelt that I disagree with than a pile of prose whose sharp edges have all been rounded off to the point that only a meaningless pebble remains.
Lifetime TCO is a thing.

If you bought a Bubble Taurus in '99 and fed it a new transmission every 100k you'd probably come out the same after adjusting for inflation between then and now.

I deal exclusively in shitboxes that are about 10yr beyond what the demographics most represented. Anyone peddling a "just buy a particular brand and you'll be all set" narrative is just wrong. If you said "be rich enough to do maintenance on the book schedule and not abuse your vehicles" you'd be on to something. There's a reason everyone wants a used grandma car.
One thing to note is that every piece of software is born with a government-granted monopoly (copyright title) around itself. This monopoly is strengthened by the fact that software has strong dependencies that don't exist for other kinds of creative works. You can't buy and run a Windows app without also buying and running Windows[0] - there really isn't an analogue to this in other forms of creative media. If you ran any other kind of business with the same level of monopolistic zeal as a software company does, you would almost certainly be in violation of antitrust law.

[0] Yes I know WINE exists. It doesn't really affect the argument here; the fact that it's legal to reimplement APIs merely puts upper bounds on the size of the software monopoly. And those bounds are really high - reimplementation is far more difficult than just, say, pirating Windows.
And then they realized that their concerns were misdirected, that as much as they were concerned about “China” they were not concerned about their adversaries at home, like the people who make the stuff they use.

Is there something you'd suggest they do? If someone feels powerless and cares deeply, but has no actions available to them it feels pretty bad to say, "they don't really care."

Like, what are the options? Running for office themselves on a third party ticket? I can't think of anything that isn't a massive investment of time, money, and energy.

Yes, they could get involved with organizations like the DSA and try to grow mutual aid networks and voting blocks. They could get involved with unions and push for more collective power. But those are also big time commitments.
First, vaccinations are required for schools as an example.
