Even then, he waited at the last minute to make sure there was no possible retaliation. Sure, that's a good business move. But how does that prove any courage? It's the opposite. At least zuck can say that he wants to keep his platform open, that facebook is open to challenging point of views or whatever but that Trump didn't leave them a choice at that point....and he'd at least be coherent. Dorsey can't, because he mostly doesn't care for any "big idea" that isn't related to his weird crypto fascination. So I guess I was wrong & he did show a backbone for something... Consistently not doing anything about crypto spam. Afterall, Twitter is notorious for being filled with crypto scams and being ground zero for most shady crypto schemes!
We know from previous studies that T-cell immunity is much more resistant to mutation than antibodies. It's almost completely certain that vaccines will be effective against severe diseases and death.
>his claim that blowing up the Moon would solve virtually every problem of human existence. He made this claim in 1991 in a campus newspaper,[4] stating that a Moonless Earth wouldn't wobble, eliminating both the seasons and its associated events like heat waves, snowstorms and hurricanes.

If humans are inherently violent, why hand them free guns? If they're inherently greedy, why hand them free credit cards? If humans are inherently toxic and disingenuous and biased, why hand them the free reach to thousands of gullible minds?

I'm in agreement humans are flawed, but why should we allow billionaires, who mostly want power and wealth, to decide how to referee our public discourse?

To me, these companies are run by humans and used by humans, so like drinking and driving, speed limits, personal safety, and all other kinds of laws: we need guardrails against bad actions.

We need some rudimentary policing, for as Hamilton stated: "if men were angels, no government would be necessary"
I wouldn't say that, a few of the people I follow are shooting the shit with friends. That counts as "potentially interesting shit" and that sort of long-tail content does wind up on my feed.
This eip goes against everything you are claiming. It is pro-user and pro-scaling. The current eth mainnet was always essentially a proof of concept. Everyone knows the goal has been to find a scaling solution. L2s and rollups are that solution. Sustainable scaling was never guaranteed and yet now, due to some incredible brains, we have the technical roadmap worked out and coming to fruition. This eip lowers costs for L2/roll-up users it is completely pro-user and not to just make existing eth holders richer.
I doubt 1 would be protected by the first amendment. It’s arguably equivalent to spraying graffiti on a stop sign so it’s unrecognizable.

It would be an extremely difficult to enforce though.
I think I reached that point but then the list was like ... 3 stable accounts.

At that point I just didn't find it worth it even visiting. Finding more didn't seem like something I wanted to do.

> So if you're performing a cost / benefit analysis, the cost to kids wearing masks doesn't need to be very high before it gets higher than whatever benefit the masks offer.

Outright death is rare, but there's quite a few pediatric hospitalizations. They likely come with long term consequences, too.

For that matter, influenza has been greatly reduced, and there's a lot of chronic sequelae to influenza infection in youth.

And don't forget to add secondary consequences. I'm still willing to teach them in part because of reduced risk to me and my father thanks to masking. And a slightly reduced chance of killing a parent or grandparent by bringing home COVID is notable, too.

I'm sure people were saying the same things about the printing press as people are saying about social media. People were printing pamphlets in the 1800s that were just as crazy as any of the misinformation we see online today.

I really struggle with design, so one of the main challenges I have launching any product is the UI.

But I've been promised these things in the past, and wasted money on them. 99 Designs, Freelancer, ThemeForest (including asking the theme developer for customisations). I've tried them all, and they've never worked. So I approach this fairly sceptically.

But I'd love to see it work.

Usually the biggest problem is not the up-front design - there are some lovely ones out there. It's "how do I map this solution for this problem into a UI that makes sense?". And I can't imagine how you systematise that, but it would be amazing if you could.
I have no experience in doing it, and also don't have an idea that is worth selling :(
It was Samsung TVs that will automatically connect to any open Wifi nearby to get their ads updated, even if you tell it not to.
Wow interesting! Please share!
> I think you'd be very hard pressed to find a 4G phone that doesn't support VoLTE.

But it's just as hard to find information about various 5G features and those differ a lot by device and service.

This kind of thing should be on the same page as the list of radio frequencies.
Been there, done that (except the "killed" part). It was in a heavy fog. I was doing well to find a street at all, and it turned out to be one way the wrong way (the only such street in town). I figured it out when I saw wall-to-wall headlights coming at me out of the fog, and made a fast move for the curb...

So, yeah. People react. Which brings up the question: How well do self-driving AIs respond to a wrong-way driver? How well do self-driving AIs recover when they are the wrong-way driver, and they suddenly have enough data to realize that?

I don't think a binary definition is meaningful. Instead, what I focus on is the continuum of how much control you as a user have over the content that is presented to you.

At one end, you have the default Reddit front page. You get a torrent of posts completely unrelated to your specific interests or people you care about. It's as close to "the front page of the Internet" as you can get. Like staring into the collective psyche of the web.

At the other end, you have Google search. You only see pages you specifically request for by an explicit search query at that point in time. If you don't search, nothing is given to you. You have almost complete control over your attention.

Social media sites/apps are generally points between those. Critically, most give you more flexibility in how you use them than users get credit for. If you use Reddit by just browsing the front page and not even logging in, yes, it's the worst of all possible worlds. But if you create an account, unsubscribe from all the default subreddits, and only follow subreddits that are interesting to you and well moderated, then you have a lot more control. My Reddit experience is uniformly positive and enriching.

Twitter can also be a nourishing experience, but you have to be careful about who you follow, and turn off retweets for most of the people you follow.

Facebook is harder but if you disable all posts from sites that users often reshare, that removes a ton of clutter. Unfollowing people also helps.
This looks awesome. Reading behaves a little weird on Firefox - the page seems to shift to the left briefly before showing the next page.

I've been a big fan of the Plex approach for curation.

Would be awesome to integrate some one-click addition from high-quality ebook sources like Standard Ebooks (does it support upstream OPDS sources?).
I suspect that writers for the Atlantic encounter a lot more of these than most people.

I recall seeing only one, buried in the credits of an indie film. Perhaps people who attend more public events than me encounter them more.

"Consciousness raising" is very much the kind of thing that people do when they don't want to put forth any effort, but feel like they did. It's especially lame once everybody has already heard about the thing.

But I don't think most people are aware of the pre-colonial history of the land on which they're standing. At best they know vaguely that most of the US once belonged to somebody else, but practically never know who, or what happened.

Consciousness raising doesn't take very long, so people quickly tire of it. But it's also frustrating to say, "Yes, you've raised my consciousness and I've already agreed to do nothing about it, so can we just skip it?" Yes, everybody involved is now aggravated with now progress -- but it doesn't mean progress is impossible, or that we should simply go back to ignoring things.

So while "land acknowledgements" can just be moral exhibitionism, so is concern trolling about how exhibitionist somebody else is being. They may well be doing the very least, but at least they're not doing less than the least and actively undercutting it.

The author appears to be trying to shortcut the usual process: somebody develops an incomplete response to injustice, some people pick it up badly, others dismiss it reflexively, go on to cite the people doing it badly as proof that there's no injustice at all, commence the usual culture war along standard lines, while the intelligentsia try to get meta about it.

He's skipped to the last step. Unless other people are seeing more of these land acknolwedgments than I am, there's a lot more shouting to do first.
I rave about Caddy. Worth it just to never have to think about HTTPS again. We used to have an Nginx+certbot docker container and it was fragile at best, but migration to Caddy was very easy.

One feature it has that I love: If a request comes in but a backend is down, instead of returning an error it'll wait a set amount of time for the backend to come up, then forward the request. This means you can do zero-downtime deploys with nothing more complicated than "docker-compose up -d". I know that there are better ways to do true seamless deploys but they all introduce enough complexity to a system that we want to keep as simple as possible.
I am honestly surprised that the webdev community allowed this to happen. This is, pretty much, exactly what happened with Trident/Internet Explorer back in the day. This is also how we got the awesomeness that was ActiveX.

Though, to be fair to the Chromium maintainers, they've done an excellent job of making it incredibly easy to develop against. Puppeteer is the gold standard for browser automation, Chromium Headless makes it easy to run pretty much any webdriver against it, then there's Embedded Framework, Electron, etc. Firefox could have/should have done more here.
Commercial TV's are coming more and more with smart capabilities. I know LG commercial displays can be equipped with WebOS and Samsung displays come with Tizen, though I don't know how wide spread they are through their commercial product line ups.
My reply would not change. Because there are no specific people responsible for that, everyone upvotes the submissions whenever they want, without any pressure.
OF COURSE it's more complex than this, the human's brain is a very sophisticated machine. But I just read a couple of "brain for dummies" books[1][2], so my knowledge is pretty limited.

From that I recall they explain that the reward system responds to feeling of novelty because it's good for survival, f.e. you can find food or water source in a new location or maybe notice a hostile animals there. So, it's a behaviour caused by evolution. Twitter, Facebook, etc. just exploited it. And they admitted it:

I don't get it. Who cares? You sound like you just want the status quo.

Sending a tweet works just as well to get the message out.
I don't get it, isn't social media is an anarchic free for all compared to traditional media publications? Newspapers were infamous for excluding other points of view especially when drumming up panic and not including "here is why that is a load of crap" letters to the editor.
I have a very short list, like 150 or so. I add people one or two at a time, and see how my TL responds. If it starts skewing sideways, I unfollow. I find this very successful.

What kills me are the brand accounts. Like, McDonald's: 4.3M followers. For what? Why are you purposely asking for advertising in the middle of your advertising?
I should have known to be more precise, I meant guns other than single shot barely-guns like hardware store pipe shotguns. Those barely show up even in heavily gun controlled countries because they're so fiddly and slow to use and reload they're not that useful compared to a knife.
Yeah. "Voluntary manslaughter" and "malicious mischief" are already things you can prosecute for.
It itsn't depending on everyone not following it, it is just incomplete; you should review the code or wait for someone you trust to review the code or ,,,do what GP recommends.

Interesting note about "acquiring and keeping a business alive, not starting a business", I am under the impression that these two skills are related, if not the same.

I think it's the classic efficiency tradeoff. Centralizing these tools is more efficient for the vendor, for the IT department, for users. It streamlines a bunch of things.

But the tradeoff is increased risk: a single point of failure, a reduction in agency, etc.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer to this question; it depends on the individual case (not just the product, but the customer)

Caddy is a great piece of software.

We, at hatchbox.io, have to moved to Caddy (in v2) for all our applications and honestly the experience so far has been great. It’s a bliss not to deal with SSL certificate generation for our customers’ apps and let Caddy take care of it.
It's not horrible but I haven't found anything I like on it yet. One issue is that the UI kind of sucks (hover state button for more info on a company, vs clicking the name of the company, which is always redacted until you contact them). I would like more info on the companies before contacting. Another is that the microsaas category seems to be very micro on the traction/revenue and very macro on the multiple/pricing. Like if people are getting these prices good for them, but it's not attractive for me to wade through right now.

It feels like I'm more likely to find something vetted and legit at a reasonable price through a broker like FEI.
What is the "startup time" like? Meaning how long it takes to go from poweroff/standby to displaying the signal.
Google is up to so many sneaky things, it's stopped surprising me to find out how they're always one step ahead to make their products even more intrusive.

A new one I found out is their supposedly open-source initiative called 'Cloud Information Model' [1]. Along with others such as Salesforce, Genesys and AWS (companies that I personally don't trust), they promise 'you can create seamless and tailored personal experiences across cloud-native applications'. It's all a bit vague and fancy and sufficiently "tech-y" to impress the marketing folks but colour me suspicious.

EDIT: forgot the link,

Those 3rd party L2 providers are inherent to Ethereum's scaling roadmap. No need to ossify them or integrate them tightly with the protocol layer, they can remain modular and in free market competition on the smart contract layer.
As someone who started working at an ad agency during the online metrics boom, then went to a national news organisation to work as digital strategist, I tend to agree.

But I would pinpoint it to the inflated value of impressions. My experience (but i can not back this up) tells me that ad sellers tend to over estimate the impact of an impression, which makes the value chain completely inflated, and skews the business model. If ads were worth less (and, according to me, closer to the real value), less money would go round, and creating value for the end user would become more a necessity.

But I might be wrong, obvs.
It did, at least as a proverb. E.g. In German there is a saying "der Kunde ist König" (customer is king)
I lot of this has been touched on already, but I think your rules could be reframed a bit to try simplify lawmaking and avoid security theatre as was mentioned.

First, I assume it's already illegal to be "adversarial" to drivers. A bright light or changing signs etc already do that now. For example look at all the laser pointer stuff with planes.

Second, I don't think self driving cars are just using the softmax output of an object detector as a direct input to car control decisions. In the absence of a stop sign, the expected behavior would be common sense and caution, the same as if someone removed the sign. If the SDC logic is not robust in this way, it's not safe for many other reasons.

With this in mind, I think the situation is probably already reasonable well covered in existing regulations.

What I did was stop following tech people and started following comedy people. It really made Twitter a much more fun place.
Maybe at some companies, but I think Steve Jobs might beg to differ!
Forgot to reply, sorry.

Yeah I am thinking of re-interview and getting a raise from competing offers. Do you think this is a bad idea or will leave a bad taste from my manager or HR?

So you are saying at some point there will be a time where this strategy doesn't work as well anymore? I am a bit relieved lol, I thought I am gonna Leetcode until I retire.
Parent is saying that these platforms cater to left leaning reactionaries ("social justice warriors"), and that people on the opposite side (conservatives) are far more restricted, but most of the criticism comes from those same left leaning reactionaries about the sites not further restricting the already-restricted side.
I’m reading heretics currently! Curious why you listened to Against Eugenics and Other Evils as opposed to Everlasting Man? Seems like Heretics and Orthodoxy and Everlasting Man are the three works that people read most often by Chesterton.

> It's really interesting to see just how low-res screens were when it was in it's hey-day, given that they are nearly unusable on a 4k monitor.

When WinAmp was big, typical resolution was 1024x768 (XGA). Wikipedia has a nice comparison image to give you a sense of how tiny that was compared to 4K:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution#/media/File...
I've got one, but it's not very good build or panel quality, just a random Chinese brand. It was in the first batch of 4k models, before all the bonus money from spyware pushed dumb displays out of the consumer tv segment.

Your best bet now is to get an industrial display or find a generic driver board that is compatible with the panel from a smart TV and then DIY a smart TV into a dumb one.

On the DIY perks youtube channel, the host builds a water cooled backlight for a 4k panel in order to make an outdoor-capable TV, and he uses one of those generic driver boards for it.
Addons on mobiles are another thing going for Firefox. What youtube ads?

If I am in the US and someone in a foreign country infringes my IP I almost definitely cannot sue them for copyright infringement in the US.
Yeah, UI design is tricky. We haven't solved that yet, but would love to in the long run.
Graffiti would just cause people to drive unsafely, in that hypothetical the sticker directly causes crashes. It'd be something like attempted murder.
LG. Always LG.

WebOS isn't Android, which is a huge plus. Also LG makes the actual panels for most TVs anyway, so other brands can't compete in that either.
I'll be more inclined to start believing that self driving / autonomous vehicles are actually "coming soon" when the federal government decrees it is illegal to wear clothing with certain markings/colors. No red octogons, no reflective red and white parts, no yellow vertical stripes, etc.

I don't think that "cause an air to fail to stop" is the correct threat to address, I think "making AI stop and therefore cause traffic" is.

Wake me up when I can have any two arbitrary addresses as start and end points and a machine or computer can drive me between them, 24/7/365 - barring road closures or whatever.
Isn’t this particular issue partially solved with proper NUMA support in whatever kernel or scheduler is being used?
