For me I don't spend much time in those other apps, but it's really nice to have the ability to install Google Drive, GMail, Slack, Notion, Dropbox, and stuff like that so I can easily open up documents that are sent to me through the normal channels I use and never have to worry about actually "transferring" anything to my tablet.

I also keep all my sheet music and academic papers to-read on Google Drive.
Exactly. My biggest deterrent to trying Vinegar is time spent farting around with all the extensions, not price. eg Figuring out if Vinegar plays nicely with 1Blocker.

At some point, browsers will switch strategies from mitigations to scraping.

I'd LOVE for an RSS Reader (like NetNewsWire) to prefetch the "reader view" of linked web pages. Instead of malware blockers curating zillions of filters and patches, just create scripts to scrape the top 100 websites. And then allow sharing of user supplied scrapers.

> I don’t have one single set of requirements for every location I use a web server. Nobody does.

Right, you have to analyze each case separately. There's no way to meaningfully quantify performance across all cases.

> If Caddy is good for one thing but not so good for other things, why is it so hard to come out and say that?

Perhaps because that doesn't tell you anything? You can post microbenchmarks for very specific use cases but almost everyone extrapolates way too much from microbenchmarks and the folks who don't will tell you that microbenchmarks are virtually useless.

> It’s mind boggling that I’m getting attacked

Oh grief, you're not being "attacked". You're being melodramatic. I don't have a dog in this fight, I was just trying to clarify the conversation. If you're bent on reacting to a distorted perception of the conversation, there's not much I can do about that.
That's totally reasonable. Does Caddy actually win on any of those dimensions?

this in, man that engages with toxicity finds a toxic feed
Perhaps try to build your own and run that instead? To be honest I think you'd learn more about how to buy a business than how to run one if you bought one instead.
To not promote toxicity, one could just avoid amplifying anything that’s a hot button or divisive issue. However, incentives don’t align with that.

The key is the issue is the amplification. Promoting of content you’re not following in feeds.

Of course, completely changing it back to only content from those you follow in chronological order and allowing you to curate would solve that problem as well, but there’s no way they go back to that as there’s far less money involved.
I agree, though my impression is epi's use policy driven hypothesis' to construct data driven stories around, which is great for directing their attention to things like your example, as ultimately it was an activist narrative backed by epi data that made people aware of how bad some of those carcinogens were.

However, there are many epis who are just political scientists, and calling them epidemiologists and conflating them with bio or medical experts is sort of like the way we talk about devs as engineers and architects. Covid has really put them in the spotlight, as they're the ones driving policy, which becomes a big deal when we start using their work as justification for internal passports and mandates. I'm saying the epis working on covid aren't held to the standards of other scientists or even data science hackers, and they are being used to launder radical policies through "expert" models data.
I've got massively controversial opinions on these topics because of my health information privacy and security work, so YMMV.

I'd posit that a data scientist with working professional competence in say, R and Pandas has as much or more modelling experience for empirical discovery than most epi's where I'd suggest the epi's are a kind of policy profession, and that someone with those basic quantitative skills is equipped to question policies and assertions produced by said epis.
Could AI turn on us, or is natural stupidity a greater threat to humanity?
Needs [2015]
It gets even worse outside of science. I'm sure most people who've been in the business world long have noticed that attempts to eliminate confounding factors when drawing conclusions are rarely even attempted unless the results contradict what the highest-on-the-org-chart interested party wants it to be (and even then, they're usually just ignored rather than any attack on their validity actually being made).

For all the attempts to measure stuff and be "scientific", businesses mostly run on gut feelings, even when they're doing "experiments" or "collecting data in order to make informed decisions" or whatever. Often it's really easy to spot problems with these processes, but no-one cares as long as the PowerPoint slides say what they want them to say and pretend to be backed by data.

Remove Section 230 protections for profit driven social networks, carve out exemptions for public goods and other sites operated without a profit intent (Wikipedia, the Internet Archive, Hacker News, etc) and the problem solves itself (the cost to police/moderate the platform rises above a point where the revenue returned is no longer sufficient to make the endeavor worthwhile). Social media is toxic due to the social fabric impact being externalized and socialized while the profits are privatized.

Once you start combining "small" contracts (e.g. they call into each other), you have a large program one way or the other. The combinatorial explosion pretty much guarantees there will be some input combinations that lead to unexpected consequences, even if you claim to know everything there is to know about each particular component. If there's a way to get around this, I'd be very, very interested in reading about it.
CFD only looks like brute force when compared to purely analytical methods. In practice, you can't brute force a chaotic system as you quickly hit the wall. Anything complex pretty much requires you to get clever with simulation just like it did before computers with analytical approach, and/or rely on experimentation. It's especially true for rocket engine design; there's a reason why nobody made a practical RDE yet.

Are rollups generally expected to be 'native' to etherium, or orthogonal - but packaged in a way that becomes well-integrated with L1? Or said another way, it seems like there are L2 rollup 'providers' - are these 3rd party providers inherent in an L2 solution, or are they features that will be subsumed later by the parent protocol?
Hmm, so you're hung up on all things we've fixed with Caddy v2 years ago. I recommend giving it a try again with a fresh mindset. It's a totally different product.
Quote:

The philosopher Nick Bostrom, who heads the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford, says that humans trying to build AI are “like children playing with a bomb”, and that the prospect of machine sentience is a greater threat to humanity than global heating. His 2014 book Superintelligence is seminal. A real AI, it suggests, might secretly manufacture nerve gas or nanobots to destroy its inferior, meat-based makers. Or it might just keep us in a planetary zoo while it gets on with whatever its real business is.
Carbon capture from re-greening the Sahara would be countered by de-greening the Amazon, since the latter is fertilized by the former as winds blow dust over the Atlantic. These systems are complex, and just doing what intuitively feels right can just as easily be counterproductive.

As a learner of French, I absolutely love Librivox. Science fiction (Jules Verne), fairy tales (Charles Perrault), poetry (Charles Baudelaire), novels (Victor Hugo) -- there is so much really good source material in French. However, as one would expect from a free/public domain resource, classics over 100 years old are well covered... But for anything newer, you'll probably need Audible*...

HN is unappealing to the average internet user. It's topical, nerdy, lacks images and video, has zero engagement algorithms, and the "karma" is hidden.

It's also aggressively moderated. I can only post ~4 times a day since my account got flagged / rate limited for participating in flame wars about China, Apple, monopolies, etc. There's probably no way out of this except to create a new account.

What is actually holding back the tech is rheology physics and simple lack of investment. Find me a VC who'll invest billions in a new display tech versus internet services/ML/AI/etc.
The idea that 7000 BCE is "shortly after the last ice age" is funny. We could as well say the present day is shortly after Julius Caesar was assassinated in front of the Roman Senate.

Something that really is coincident with the end of the last ice age (technically, the end of the 1200-year Younger Dryas cold spell brought on by a bolide strike on the North American ice sheet) is Gobekli Tepe. That was, thus, built some 2000 years before this fabric was made. The 200m sea level rise that started ~20kya was ending about then, with the final bits of what had been the Persian Gulf river valley filling in.

Any entity participating in a democratic society should be allowed to voice their support for keeping said society healthy. Antivaxxers and "the vote was stolen!!!" putsch supporters are a direct threat towards society itself.

There are things in a society where standing "impartially" aside is taking a stand in itself - a stand on the side of those who want to destroy society.
I think you nailed a big problem. My co-founder and I were 2 engineers when we started our bootstrapped venture. One thing I knew for sure: our "design taste" is awful.

> That's not the reason why ants don't outcompete shrimps

Yes, it is.

> Does it help if I say shrimps and whales?

No, because shrimp and whales also mostly don't compete because they have largely non overlapping habitat within the ocean (and actually are otherwise more “potentially competitive”, if you pick the right ones of each, since both many shrimp and some whales eat krill, for instance.)

This is a case where it is probably better to just make your argument directly than to rely on analogy, I suspect.
> I'd argue that the original creator should at least retain some license…

I'd argue that the buyout should always be for the public domain. The buyer gets the right to use it (as a member of the public) but not exclusivity.

Then again, I'd also argue that copyright should not be granted in the first place…

It is important to note that buyout terms like this do not necessarily result in accurate valuations. Consider the chaos that would ensue if anyone could buy your home simply by paying the going rate for similar homes in your area—it may be just another house to them, but to you it's your home and an unplanned move would be a major inconvenience and expense, not to mention the emotional cost. People would naturally tend to set a buyout price well above the market price on their primary residence to avoid having their home bought out from under them, and to an extent the same would apply to other items such as copyright privileges. The end result is that 10% of the buyout price will generally be much more than 10% of the price the item would be likely to sell for on the open market, and may even exceed the market price of the good. You can compensate for that somewhat by lowering the tax rate, but since the degree of attachment varies from one individual to another it would be difficult to set a uniform rate that would be considered fair for everyone.

There are good reasons why eminent domain is not an option available to just anyone, and in most cases is only used where there is an overriding public interest in that specific property such as being in the path of a road or other infrastructure project which cannot simply be diverted elsewhere. Even then I would disagree with it as applied to regular property where there are natural rights involved. Copyright is a different matter, however, as an artificial creation of government. They can revoke those privileges at any time, without giving any justification or compensation. The buyout option allows them to continue using copyright as an incentive while reducing the impact to the public—hopefully as a first step toward phasing it out altogether.

I suspect this is correctable, but I wonder if it would work as well mounted in a sturdy door since the vibration is not directly connecting with the pins.
Another way to look at the question is along the lines of how do you capture coding in an entertaining and engaging way. If you look at popular depictions, you get things like solving some kind of 3D puzzle while spouting some technical jargon. Or being embodied and racing around doing things in a digitally rendered environment. These things get used because they give some physicality to something that is essentially abstract brain work. Its similar to trying to capture a math proof, and harder imo than talking about other kinds of engineering design, because even in something like circuit design there are physical parts that you can say what they are for in a way that doesn't require deep theoretical understanding.

All that to say, making an entertaining show would require an entertaining framing of programming, and there doesn't seem to be an accurate one that people have thought of yet. So if you can find a way to answer your question, it unlocks a lot more than just reality shows.
Kudos. Many times if I want to bring up an unpopular opinion of mine it will get downvoted to oblivion, so I have to self-censor.
