Agreed. One of the things we like about our town is the number of small-scale family farms. Most are happy to let regulars/CSA-shareholders walk around the fields on the weekends, with the caveat that if they catch you they may talk you into lending a hand pulling weeds or feeding the chickens ;)
This would support the theory that Facebook can listen to you and serve ads on things you talk about even if you haven't given it microphone access right? I'd assume they have enough data to be able to translate vibration patterns into language.

Sorry, but even though we know social media has its downsides, it also has advantages: keeping in touch with friends, socializing, a way to stay up to date with your community, new recipe ideas, exercise ideas, time management ideas, maybe even the occasional envy that someone's success triggers more ambition in you to succeed etc.

It's a tool, like any other, and if used properly it can enhance your life.

Don't want to dunk too hard on this article, because the points made in it are valid. But they can be achieved while you're still active on social media.

For example, if used properly, you can get exposed to a lot of novel ideas in 2-minute bite sized clips. You can get motivated to hit any of the points mentioned in the blog.

Saying that, of course the article was written to be a very one-sided view on the topic. Given that, it's obviously going to be shared on social media and garner even more attention / clicks / eyeballs. It's not ... irony per-se, but something close to it.
Yesterday I heard a story of the opposite: An organic grower was not able to sell all of their produce as organic, so was told to pack it boxes labeled as being conventionally grown so it could still get sold at market, although at a lower price.

It's vastly different scale. Yes it's costly and contraversial to say you're pro-abortion in _parts_ of the US, but not all of US. And not the congress, not the white house. Look at the sheer amount of flak the supreme court got when it decided to let the Texas law slide temporarily, even though they cited standard legal procedure.

Contrast that with majorities that pro-Israel laws always get in congress. Trump even recently complained outright that "Israel used to control the congress" and he didn't even mean it in a bad way, the ADL shat its pants and quickly tore into him saying that it's AntiSemitic (^TM) to say that. Nobody in the Democrats is willing to approach criticising Israel with an INT_MAX foot pole except possibly old-school anti-imperialism marxists, and they are fringe.

A guy that I studied with had his company bought by a tech giant. Not FAANG, but a big company that you've heard of.

Their product - in production - was to map establishments such as stores and provide data about what the clients were looking at. Did you walk past the mens' shirts and turn your body? Noted. Did you stop at the condoms? Noted. This was all done with the accelerometer, if the user had a "compatible app" installed. A lot of apps carried their technology from what I understand.

I actually thought that this was a well-known use of our devices' accelerometer until I read the responses in this thread.
Wouldn't the energy efficiency of a (much) smaller process node enable you to greatly overclock the chip (compared to now where it's thermally limited to a low clock), though? And/or just pack many of them per die?

> A situation in which the government ruled out some ideas

and yet we have libel laws, anti hate speech provisions, corporate secrecy laws and so on and so forth all of which prohibit me from saying things just because I feel like it.

But I don't think that's even the discussion any more. The discussion is whether you should be obligated to provide these reprehensible views with a platform, and to what degree it should be possible for us to tune them out altogether, as a matter of personal preference.

Reddit made a choice, perhaps commercially driven to apply a certain modicum of taste and decency to their platform, to complaints from "free speech advocates". Just what these people stand for, and to what degree it should be defended, is different from what voltaire was talking about.
That doesn't hide your identity from a government that wants to arrest you for unapproved speech.

If we look at the wikipedia definition of social media, it states: "Social media are interactive technologies that allow the creation or sharing/exchange of information, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks"

I personally view the old IRC (Efnet!), BBS, chat rooms, ICQ as the earliest form of social media. And just as addictive - I couldn't wait to get home from school and jump into a chat room. I checked it as often as I did Facebook later on.

We desperately need new companies emerging and taking over FAANGs. It’s been too long. I think about big tech same as what we thought of HP, Oracle and IBM 20 years ago. Time to conquer them and make them obsolete. If we don't, we're guaranteeing absolute stagnation of the society in many insiduous ways. Always watching, always controlling Big Tech dystopia.
Not a "technical" person. Use LibGen all the time.
Mine have fortified because people declared reasonable statements as hate left and right. There really is no place for nuance and it doesn't net you anything. Places that forbid it aren't free from offense or conflict and are often quite fundamentalist. Hate speech rules simply do not work at all.

A Brief History of the Pixel
A normal hunk of steel is worth almost nothing. Most recyclers won't even take it (real recyclers, the kind that pay you for your materials, not fraudulent "recyclers" set up for public relations value). Lead, aluminum, brass, copper, silver, and gold go for much higher prices. Copper is common in heavy steel things.
Even without onboard processing it's a very obvious move to offload it to a tiny microcontroller. Apple actually started by using a physically separate NXP micro that they branded "M7". Now it is of course on the main chip, but still a separate Cortex-M core.
That assumes that China just keeps firing an infinite number of missiles. In reality, there is some ratio where the tradeoff no longer makes sense. If one cheap missile can sink a multibillion dollar aircraft carrier, that's a good deal. If it takes hundreds of these missiles, that's significantly less useful.

Further, carriers aren't wimps. These ships were designed to survive nuclear war, with modern damage control actually sinking a ship with a conventional explosive is incredibly difficult. More likely a hit would just result in minor damage that could be repaired at nearby bases.

China stands to gain little from invading taiwan - a small province full of disloyal people whose only economic value is in advanced industry which would be destroyed in a war. America, on the other hand, stands to lose everything if it does not defend Taiwan. The moment America can't be trusted to defend its allies, its hegemony is over. No country has the means to touch America in a conventional war, any victory any other power could possibly hope for would be completely pyrrhic. The only unknown is exactly how much of the other nation would be left standing when the Americans decide to go home. There is no logical reason for America to back down first in a game of geopolitical chicken, and everyone knows it. The only winning move for China is not to play.
The concern is in California, post-employment non-competes are broadly unenforceable; but moving to a different state means non-competes may be enforcable. Does that make it harder to move jobs, is it limiting, can you negotiate them away, etc?

" in the evening watch a proper offering to the sun god. Maybe a bit more violent and shorter than modern life but definitely more exciting"

Yes, maybe I should have just asked, what exactly does he mean by "proper offering to the sun god" in the combination of "maybe a bit more violent" but "definitely more exciting".

Because that just sounds like human sacrifice in that context to me. Along with other quotes like that in that thread. "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29129436"
So clear, that I did not see much point in asking. So yeah, I got a bit "agitated" with that. Still, in my perception I got the mod warning, for expressing disconcern with peoples lust with human sacrifice. And those people did not, because they expressed their desire in soft terms.

It is allright. I probably just seek more other places now again.
Wouldn't that depend on local laws? My assumption is that it would be covered by the recent EU court ruling that allows reverse engineering to fix bugs[0].

I agree with the thesis, but not the specific conclusion.

> Blockchain tech could unleash collaborations of several million members working on one project in real time, or orgs that are far more leaderless than today.

How? Projects like the Linux Kernel already have thousands of contributors. It's not clear what putting their work in a distributed ledger would do to encourage more users.

Twitter has millions of people generating content for it. Could a magic blockchain give people micro-cents every time their post was upvoted? Maybe. But that doesn't require a blockchain.

Could a global art project distribute funds via a smart contract? I guess. But with millions of users, people will gravitate towards leaders. Even if it's just following the way an paid-for "influencer" votes.

I too think that most of the tech problems inherent in DLT / smart contracts can be solved. But it isn't immediately clear what use they will be.
I feel like there will definitely be a way to tell the original apart, with sufficient skill/tech (after all, forgeries are uncovered). The question is who will take the 99.9% risk of devaluing their painting by having it tested and turned into a a definite forgery.
the same goes for leetcode interviews. the key difference is that you don’t need to prepare to talk about your own projects. or at least much less. and you are probably working on stuff after hours anyway.

While I agree a part of it was "luck", I think you've already highlighted some of the "variables" about why they weren't "very lucky" (as GP proclaimed) — difference of drag (in all dimensions), difference of speed and any active efforts by all sides.

I like to turn question like this on its head: how would you make an airplane hit those skydivers on the way down? If the answer is: "very fricking hard", I think the "luck" plays a small role.

Basically, if they were hit, they would have instead been "very unlucky". :)

That's different from the question, IMHO.

It's not illegal to "voluntarily help someone who is not family or to barter services" or even (obviously) to be paid for work. But any of that may give rise to various tax liabilities and not fulfilling them is illegal. I would think that this is pretty much the same everywhere in the world.
I concur with your view. After taking a long break from social media, it becomes obvious what the issues are. Look at these and suggested posts for people wealthier, fitter, and presumably happier than myself. For some people, incessant exposure to that content is toxic. It makes me feel behind in life, and I feel better without constantly viewing it. When you doomscroll, it absolutely produces a positive feedback cycle and gets worse. And this cycle applies not to just the aforementioned Instafit-type content, it applies to politics, it applies everywhere. I had to stop reading /r/FatFIRE, but /r/financialindependence is fine.
I'm excusing the "theft". Salvaging long-abandoned industrial equipment (whether for scrap value or otherwise) isn't theft.

That said: Reverse phone number lookups are 99% SEO spam. The hugely helpful forum search options were axed. Searches for obscure or arcane information are routinely rewarded with barely-related marketing and bot-built keyword pages.

On any given day, I'll run into dozens of instances of how gleaning the info I want out of Google is hugely more difficult (or outright impossible) than it was a decade ago.

The only thing Google still has in it's favor is it still obeys search operands - well, usually.
Legend or Lie: Gunfight at the OK Corral
If companies care when people share the work with others means that the act they want to prevent is breaking copyright this way, and it becomes a question of enforcement.

I understand its basically impossible to enforce all cases once they have the raw digital text, but does that mean we should ban OCR software and limit the access to high quality scanners in case they are used for copyright infringement? That seems an absurd cost to protect the existing business model. But is also the conclusion to banning DRM circumvention efforts. I think instead we can just go after people selling large number of copies like we always have and publishing will survive.

If your business model requires you to break other people’s property rights to something that you ostensibly sold them, in order to enforce it, it usually isn’t a viable business model! Except when you have a massive army of lawyers apparently.
As far as i see the cut-off was something like 2003, and the law is really not that enforced, and most of the cars are used European with many having their converter removed for scrap, either by thieves or by the owner.
This is an interesting point. In my experience, it's very common for HTTP(S) to be used for the "last mile" for content that originates from IPFS. Generally this is done via public or dedicated IPFS gateways.

Even when you have a local IPFS node (which is not common), the "last meter" delivery is still done using HTTP too, via a local gateway
The problem as I see it is that it can put you at an unfair disadvantage to your team-mates who might choose to reply to your boss, or even do that "urgent thing" that your boss wants. Now you're suddenly the employee who chose not to "dedicate" extra 15 mins of your time to that "important" project. There should not be this kind of competition outside of working hours. Free time and family life should be protected.
If you're going to be a competitive runner or cyclist you can't be carrying around extra body fat and hope to be competitive. I dealt with this when I was doing men's sports in college, and to be fair I did develop an eating disorder to try to keep up.

So this isn't really a women's issue or even a "body shaming" issue, it's about whether or not a person is able to compete in a competitive sport.

At the very end of TFA they suggest that "maybe" a person could have extra weight and _still_ be competitive. Obviously the writer wasn't an athlete lol
Its amazing how everything is so productive that we put value on removing the stuff that made those things productive in the first place.

A common media/pundit narrative is that social media is envy or anxiety-inducing because people are only showing their successes or unobtainable lifestyles, but have these people actually ever used social media? It's the opposite: a lot of sad stories (such as gofundme campaigns for illnesses), people living surprisingly mundane lives. It's not at all like how pundits depict it. Yeah, if you social circle is all google employees, then yeah you may feel envy but that does not apply to 99.99% of ppl who use social media.

This piece has the same tone as a recovering alcoholic talking about the dangers of just one drink. It is true that social media can be damaging and should probably be used minimally. It is also true that lots of people get value from social media and then step away because they for whatever reason are better able to balance the situation.

My own minimal use of social media has allowed me to keep up with old friends, to share unusual online experiences, and to learn about many things like detailed product evaluations, specialized cutlery, and several forms of dance that I had never before even imagined.

There are many dangers with social media, but also great value. Anyone recommending to turn it all off because of the damage that may be done is probably missing out on a lot and propagating that blind spot with their well intended advice.
Also not a pilot but my understanding is that spins in multiengine aircraft are generally considered extremely dangerous, to the extent that they aren't even spun in testing/certification. From here^[1]:

> No multiengine airplane is approved for spins, and their spin recovery characteristics are generally very poor. It is therefore necessary to practice spin avoidance and maintain a high awareness of situations that can result in an inadvertent spin.

In something like a Caravan this might not be such a big deal (though I don't know about their stall-spin characteristics) but deliberately courting stall-spin in a big twin like a King Air by using asymmetrical thrust so close to stall seems extraordinarily dangerous bordering on reckless, even if you aren't counting the presence of skydivers near the out-of-control aircraft. The fact that it's established practice doesn't mean it's safe; it can just as easily be a "normalization of deviance" sort of thing.

As other commenters have mentioned, I think bringing both engines back to low power or idle, and accepting a moderate sink rate during the jump, would be much safer. That way, even if you do stall, you at least aren't doing it in an asymmetrical thrust condition.

>From a human perspective, it is easy to understand the reluctance to face these numbers. It is hard to avoid the conclusion that millions of people have been deprived of their freedom, and millions of children have had their education gravely damaged, for little demonstrable gain. Who wants to admit that they were complicit in this?

Excellent point, and this is a big reason for the lingering restrictions in many countries.

Sweden, Denmark, etc. prove that you can just ignore Covid, drop masks, etc. and nothing bad happens. The whole thing is a fluke and they can’t admit they messed up and ruined lives, jobs, and businesses for nothing, because then people would be calling for their heads.
