i remember jack on the JRE podcast having a debate with a right-wing journalist. he was put into the position of trying to deny that twitters moderation favors far-left narratives. its emblematic of the role of CEO because i have always imagined that the true challenge of being the CEO of a top company is to be stuck between honesty and the company. jack wanted to say that yes of course the moderation skews left because to do otherwise would threaten the solvency of the company. but to say it out loud would make it all redundant. a thousand people think that if only they ran twitter they would put an end to X. no you wouldnt. and i would guess that jack has gone through more than most of us could imagine.

If a smart contract is small enough in scope then eventually you can be reasonably sure it’ll behave the way it’s supposed to.

With enough of these contracts you start to build a financial operating system that can be relied upon.

However I do think the human component is underrated in the crypto space. I imagine the future will consist of humans being injected into the financial operating system itself instead of bypassing it like you describe.

Exactly this. Certainly not suggesting a definitive cause and effect. Just something to be aware of for anyone interested in the Dorsey news.
This doesn't apply exclusively to conservatives. The echo chambering is definitely a bipartisan issue. This is obvious on almost any platform.

You're likely very wrong about the lawyers. They leave at 5 when nothing is urgent. But in certain crisis situations -- company being bought out, a severe injury occurred on premises, a client is suing you, etc -- those lawyers will be expected to respond 24/7 all through a full weekend or beyond.

Of course, you can still go to law school if you're really that jealous.
Without conscious policy the inequality resulting from racial persecution is probably going to go the same way in the US.

In 2019 the median white household held $188,200 in wealth—7.8 times that of the typical Black household $24,100.
People always cite this case but the software landscape has massively changed since the ruling and there's no way the courts would go this way again. Every single device you buy has a bundled web browser that is for all practical purposes unremovable.
I don't think that's what he's saying at all.

He's only acknowledging that they're already algorithmically guiding the conversation and shaping public opinion. The algorithms are just bad: there are tons of feedback loops, too much emphasis on amplifying the already-popular and virtually no effort to de-emphasize the trash, and so you end up with a dumpster-fire / cacophony that Twitter is today.

Hacker News discussions are great because they're so well-moderated. It's not hard to imagine Twitter doing a better job of algorithmically demoting some of the obvious rage-bait, fake news, straight-up hate speech, etc.
I totally agree, as long as that interface gives users knowledge as to how it forgives the user.

I use a Mac for work, and one of the first things I did was to alias `rm` to the utility `trash`[0] -- instead of immediately marking the bytes as free like `rm` does, it'll move the file(s) to the system's trash can.

> I flash lights for oncoming traffics because of danger or /police checks/.

Why? Do you want dangerous drivers on the roads?
Youtube for one has banned a lot of discussions around guns, and gun channels. There is a very limited number of things they allow and gun channels are walking on egg shells. The Rittenhouse trial cause alot of banns, strikes, and etc as well. Including one of the most popular law channel's getting taken down for a time.

That is one example, I can instead highlight any number of other topics like abortion, pronouns, gender, sexuality, any of the other "culture war" topics.
Oh please. That's like citing the dictionary definition of a word which has come to mean something else.

The actual uses of flashing headlights are much more varied than the official version. For example "you are driving with your headlights off and it's dark", "you are blinding me with your main beams" and "a tree has fallen in the road ahead". I would wager that the unofficial version outweighs the official 10 to 1.

The only danger with flashing someone to give way is when there is potential for it to cause a conflict with other vehicles, for example a cyclist on your left. For that reason I always check my mirrors and slow to allow someone to cross in front of me rather than flashing them. Most people figure it out but don't completely disengage their own perception.
Yeah! The only people who should feel emboldened are the ones who have the courage to agree with me!
I mean that's why people used to call certain software nagware.
> What new features do you need from it?

Off the top of my head, mostly container features, plus some compression and encryption features for filesystems. Also, 4.x and 5.x baked in more features that anbox needs, which previously needed DKMS. Probably none of this is a hard requirement, although I've not used a 3.x kernel in such a long time that I'd have to test it again, but it is a quality of life issue.

> I don’t think there’s much interest in this device,

Right, which is why I don't like it; no community means no updates and no fixes.

> I guess I don’t care about the kernel because I’ve used old ones with no issues.

I guess if it works then it works. Even if I could live without the newer features I'd worry about security issues, but if your workspace works then it's fine.
Yes. The market share of Firefox is low enough that in reality it doesn't matter. So very insightful. Thank you for showing me the light.

Also, I like that you think that Firefox's default settings is "holding it wrong." That's rather the point, isn't it?

Many of the harshest insults also fit in one Tweet.

Unless you're Shakespeare or a master of your language of similar stature, it's very hard to convey a deep and nuanced thought with so few characters. People write books because the more complex the idea, the more words it requires to fully explain.
Depends what you mean by "IP filtering", but there's a built-in 'remote_ip' matcher that can let you handle requests from specific IPs/CIDRs differently (such as aborting/forcefully closing the connection): https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/matchers#remote-ip

Curious in responses from that perspective. Are airframes that much more complicated? Or just better due to advances in aerodynamic understanding, but not much more complicated?

And same question for engines. Are modern high-bypass turbofans more complex?
Long ago I made a reddit account with the first suggested name after the one I asked for was 'taken', disabled following all the subreddits, and then selectively added subreddits specific to my hobbies.

I don't see anything that normally hits the front page, everything I do see is somewhat relevant to me, and it basically deletes all politics from what is presented.

By far the best reddit experience possible, I think.

You’ve got to love that first response :) where’s that person going now then to release his knee jerking anger, one wonders.
I don't know how you could write this comment unless you've barely used Twitter in the last 5 years. Their API stewardship is a mess, their support for third-party clients is miserable, Tweetdeck is constantly neglected, Web Twitter is chaotic+slow, and they constantly cram awful/broken new stuff like fleets and spaces into the UI and saddle it with user-hostile stuff like broadcasting what you're doing to all your followers as an opt-out. Making bad decisions that anyone who knows your audience would advise against is not "courage", it's foolishness.

Wasting tons of his time and resources on promoting cryptocurrency + NFTs was also actively bad for the Twitter ecosystem - it creates lots of negative sentiment and attention that distracts from features relevant to the rest of the userbase. These days I periodically see high-profile Twitter accounts being hijacked by hackers in order to boost crypto and NFTs and when you read coverage of NFTs in the news it's often about scams - why would you willingly associate Twitter with that kind of negative buzz when you could wait until it's settled down?
Unfortunately this is similar to how most of the western press covers India.

Censorship and more algo driven content discovery to push ads and approved narratives.

Dorsey was probably the biggest advocate for free speech amongst the CEOs of any major company & Twitter is significantly less toxic than Facebook partly because of him. I fully expect his removal to lead the company in a more dystopian direction.
I've always thought it weird that Jack was a part-time CEO, but there are certainly CEOs that have at least as large of a "thing to manage", even if they aren't technically two companies.

Facebook is a giant VR company and three-four giant social networking companies. Google runs phone infrastructure, search, self driving cars.
Amazon is a giant retail outlet plus a giant cloud services company.

Is running both a social media company and a fintech firm that different, even though they aren't grouped under a single corporate owner?
They waited FOREVER to actually ban Trump. A staffer enforced the rules to ban him well before that and Jack's organization courageously reversed it. Until they finally banned him, they openly violated their own rules for years to keep him on for attention.

"I don’t see Reddit as a more legitimate authority than the AHA"

Who is doing so? I just saw arguments from reddit, that seem convincing. And the AHA itself labels that paper as possible not trustworthy.

And the guy itself did actual heart surgery so it seems he is capable of something, but the other research he was doing do show some esoteric red flags for me.

He still could be right with all of it and I would like people with more expertise to take a deep look, but I would be honestly surprised now, if it holds up.
It certainly has this reputation. But nearly 100% of the political content on my feed is respectful and thoughtful—much moreso than most political content I see here. And my follows are definitely not an echo chamber, I’d estimate that at least 1/3 of my political follows are far more conservative than I am.
Ignoring that I've been a professional software developer for 26 years, a large part of that building large scale web applications (every one for the past decade+ targeting Safari as well, and before that I always ensured my teams supported alternative browsers even when various team members were moaning and whining about how much a nuisance it is), let me just focus on this-

"misguided impression that it’s a good browser"..."Simply talk to any developer"

Your experience as a developer, and you dealing with utterly trivial regressions or handicaps, has shockingly little bearing on whether it is a "good browser" or not.
Ubooquity does offer this.

Edit: Setup Kavita using Docker, and the directory structure isn't maintained.

I'm very tempted to write a Caddy plugin for OPDS to solve for this.
> others view any talk about guns as toxic that should be banned.

Do they? Are you sure? I’ve certainly seen many calls for the glorification of violence to be limited, stuff like that. But banning actual discussion of guns? I’d be interested to see examples of people advocating for that. In any case, Twitter can simply ignore people asking for that because it isn’t a reasonable request.

You can have sensible, level headed discussions about guns and gun control. You can also have inflammatory, toxic discussions about them. It’s interesting to think how you’d develop a system that prioritises the former without bringing along the latter.

> Who's worldview should win? Mine, your's, Twitters?

What does "win" mean, here? If you're the CEO of Twitter then Twitter's worldview should always win. Of course, as CEO you also get to choose what Twitter's worldview is.

The CA system for TLS certificates is really dumb. Why can't we just upload a certificate chain as a TXT field in some DNS entry?

Anyway, without HSTS, if your resolver is lying you are in bad waters and most (all?) CAs allow validation through dns records already.

I'd much much prefer that as it would not be more insecure than "trusting" hundreds of third parties but would bypass a ton of useless organisations.

the aluminium industry consumed 6% of all global coal-fired electricity in 2019 – more coal-fired electricity than is generated in the whole of Europe – and is actually becoming more reliant on coal at a time when the world is becoming less reliant on coal.

https://ember-climate.org/commentary/2020/10/06/aluminium/

The aluminium sector has a pivotal role to play here. Accounting for 1.1 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions per year, it generates around 2% of global human-caused emissions. Demand for aluminium, an essential material for several key industries including construction, transportation and power transmission, is expected to grow by more than 50% by 2050. As such, emissions must be addressed now.

He's gonna run his body into the ground before he even thinks about leaving SpaceX for anything else. It is his life's mission, that much is obvious to those who have seen enough candid interviews. He doesn't talk about anything else with the same level of importance.
Aggressively unfollowing people is the only way to keep Twitter useful.

I think the mistake people make is approaching Twitter follows like they would friendship links on Facebook or other platforms. You don’t have a relationship with the people you follow. Don’t hesitate to let it go.

The loudest people on Twitter are often the worst at providing actual value. They optimize for clickbait and engagement, which can trick people into thinking that the person is a good follow.

The moment you realize someone’s Tweets are not providing value or they’re always making you sad/angry/outraged, click that unfollow button. It makes a world of difference.

Because you have to physically do it, as opposed to hacking from anywhere else on the planet.

Are vision systems to that point yet when it comes to driving vehicles?

> Because the whole point of using an automated vision system is usually that you want to avoid human eyes on the problem.

And the point of hacking an automated system is that it's easier to do that remotely than to cause a human to crash locally.
That's a great idea, I think that's the best option. I haven't looked into the Factorio modding API, but I think it should be possible with mod.

Can you expound on this or link to someone who does? I've read this many times, along with comparisons to some sort of utopic "spatial Finder", but I've never seen it explained. As someone who only started using Macs around Tiger I'd be curious to hear what was so good about the old Finder. (I don't find the modern one to be that bad, especially in comparison to Windows Explorer, although admittedly that's a very low bar)

A tip: This doesn’t seem to show up for me unless I scroll so long that Twitter runs out of things to show me.

If you’re seeing a lot of friends-of-friends content, you might be scrolling too long or not following enough people you actually want to hear from.
> the sentence is pronounced as having a colon

It sounds as if you are saying that /colon/ is a pause, because in your Cleese reference, he pronounces a /colon/. If that's what you meant, then are you not begging the question? You assume that his pause was a /colon/, and conclude that /colon/ means a pause.
I have not kept up with Caddy in a long while, so take with a grain of salt:

- The weird license debacle.

- The weird ads in headers debacle.

- I had trouble with advanced usage that should have worked but were not flexible enough, like acting as a cache.

- The marketing rubbed me the wrong way. It was pointing the deficiencies in other established FOSS web servers, basically treating them as relics while Caddy itself had 10% of their features.
Often, there are one or two voices inside of a company that have the same complaints as customers, but they can't get any traction on the issue until users complain about it. I've been on several projects where we coached or were coached about asking our boss to ask their boss for something with a specific keyword that they could use for leverage.

In college, I left my ATM card in a machine and the person behind me pulled out the max daily limit on my account. I don't think the cops were able to ID him off of the grainy back-lit video from the machine. This was a new model of ATM that had worse ergonomics than the previous one. Turns out someone at the bank already hated these machines, and he arranged to refund me the lost money (which I'm fairly sure now he would have had to do anyway) in exchange for a signed complaint that he could add to his evidence trove.

"People are dumb. A person is smart." also applies to companies.

The thing is that if you're too rude when you make a complaint, you make bad evidence. If you're too polite, the same is also true. "We should fix this because this totally happy customer said we should" might work once in a while but it's easier to sell your boss on "customers are pissed about X which is also pissing me off." I struggle to find the right line between the two when I have to call customer support. Since I don't usually like to call CS at all, when I do it's usually because I'm pretty spun up.
My comment was flagged for pointing out the science says N95 is better than cloth masks. I don't get it.
As far as I know, they don't. But I think I read something a while back that they're actually thinking about doing that.
It's complicated in that states have a bunch of different rules, are apparently inconsistent in applying them, and there is also apparently not clear precedent. I agree that this seems a case tailor made for SCOTUS to have taken.

Here's just one "it's complicated" example. Say I lived in NH (I don't) and worked remote. (And let's simplify and imagine I never went to an office.) My closest office would be, in fact, be in Massachusetts but HQ is in North Carolina. Why would I pay MA given that I don't live or work there? Maybe I should pay NC? But now you've created a situation where heavily remote companies should establish HQs in no income tax states.

As I also noted, there are a bunch of theoretical rules related to business travel that haven't been historically enforced in most cases but seem to be increasingly so. Which may mean that a lot of employees may increasingly have to file multiple state returns depending upon various thresholds.
If you really want to post about how vaccines make your blood cells broadcast 5G radio waves, you can go make a Parler account regardless of whether you get "unpersoned" (?) by Twitter.

Twitter's rules enforcement is historically EXTREMELY casual, the only thing I can think of is that they are relatively consistent about punishing death threats regardless of context. Even then, they let some of that slide. Very often a rules violation just results in a tweet being deleted or marked with a disclaimer, not a ban - few services would treat rules violations that way.
I'm pretty sure you can approximate it to true - are there any cases where Caddy is faster than another webserver in the same usecase, with either default or tweaked configs on both?
The specific trick doesn't really matter; the point is that it's possible to maliciously create a situation that makes human pilots act dangerously. We accept that the possibility can't be made nil, and we have post facto rules to deal with it. The same principle applies to traps for machines.
Flapping your arm like a child pretending to be a bird is another I've seen warning of a speed trap (it's actually the hand signal for "I'm slowing down" back in the days that was relevant).
Societies do that to a greater or lesser degree. The Amish are so famous for it that the neologism 'amistics' has been proposed to refer to a society's choices around adopting technology that is technically feasible.

What I think many people are lamenting is that their own society is not optimistic enough about novel technology for their liking. Given that many of the people on Hacker News are near the vanguard for technological innovation by global standards it would seem there's a desire for more permissive amistics than currently exist. If anyone knows where those kinds of subcultures could be found I'd be interested in knowing about it.
