That reminds me, it's time for my ~monthly Reddit account deletion to avoid karma cravings.

I wish HN would do account deletion the same way Reddit does. They argue it would harm the flow of conversations, but I'd argue the conversations here aren't a sacred as they make them out to be.

Just denying myself access to the account isn't the same, I tried it and had to ask support to give it back. I don't like to have 11 years of content sitting out there that's tied to me that I can't control in anyway (account used to be my real name, but support changed it after a minor stalking incident, but there's enough data for figuring it out).
I disagree that there are no cool tricks. See my answer below.

I do agree that simply stop doing the thing is great, but that doesn't seem to work for many people. It can sound ridiculous if you have the will power, but if it were that simple we would have few overweight people, no addicts in the world, etc.
I'm thinking of a mathematical physicist working on fluid simulations versus a game developer who just uses some basic finite differences scheme that looks nice but is otherwise not very realistic.

Or some CAD software developer who has to think about robustness of their geometric primitives versus a game developer who doesn't really care if computations fail every now and then.
That wouldn't be basic authentication any more which is by definition username+password. HTTP currently already supprots other authentication types besides basic auth, such as digest and bearer authentication. Bearer is rather close to what you describe.
It’s not at all the same argument. The key difference is “$PROTECTED_CLASS”. It’s perfectly legal for a shop owner to refuse service to anyone as long as it’s not based on a protected class. That should hold true for Facebook as well. If they censor people based on a protected attribute, such as sex, then they should be compelled to offer equal service. In any of these cases being discussed, they don’t relate to protected classes.
For private companies, profit is largely an accounting fiction. And re-investing every cent earned into the company while you're growing it is perfectly reasonable.

The import metric is cashflow. Positive cashflow == sustainable. Aiming to be permanently cashflow-negative (because you're burning through VC cash) does seem a little crazy. But if your VC's handed you a huge pile of cash, then they expect you to spend it growing the business. Sitting on that pile of cash while carefully being cashflow-positive is not a good plan.

Aiming for growth is also reasonable for most organisations. Aiming to shrink is clearly not a good thing, and aiming for stability is tricky and can backfire.
While I don't want to go into the woods with this, those don't seem to be show stoppers, just minor technical issues somebody skilled in the art would have been able to solve some 25 years ago.

For example, the discovery protocol can be tuned so that no legacy box has any reason to forward the packet, say using TTL=1 etc., while extended boxes will recognize the magic datagram and take apropriate action. Routing loops would not form if they don't exist already, the extended links are, at most, a subset of the non-looping topology already established - you can't turn a tree into a ring by removing branches.

> What's the part that makes a difference?

The most important lesson of the IPv6 mess is that things that need to be explicitly configured to work will always break, in a vicious circle of "nobody uses that, so don't bother, so nobody can use it". So any friendly upgrade path should require zero configuration to interoperate gracefully with both IPv4 and the new protocol. You should configure only the features you want to use - say, extended address space.

Clearly IPv6 fails this test. Because you can't rely on any local IPv6 connection to actually deliver connectivity, you can't simply make IPv6 the default, since it will break many installations.

When you upgrade the software on your equipment to IPng, the existing IPv4 connection becomes an IPng connection. Depending on the capability of upstream, you will be able to use some or all of the IPng features, but existing functionality will never break.

Routers that upgrade don't require any special configuration, in the absence of extended routes they pass-through trafic obliviously, yet they are ready from day one to work with extended routes if any are published. Whereas an IPv6 router is essentially two distinct routers into one, the IPv6 part is useless without sysadmin attention, more attack surface.

This aspect of zero configuration, plug and play compatibility both backward and forward, is fundamental. Almost any hardware you can find on the internet today is IPv6 capable, sometimes for decades, yet nobody can be bothered to configure them to work on the weird parallel internet to which no customers are demanding access.

> I would like to show my disapproval without sitting down and actually fleshing out a response.

I think this is exactly the reason why there is a limit. That downvote wouldn't contribute to the discussion whereas your fleshed out response would.

Also, if I recall correctly, when you downvote you're supposed to explain why.

And ofc up and down votes should indicate contributions to discussion. Meaning that if something is incorrect or you don't agree with it, doesn't necessarily mean that it should be downvoted.
Why not? Why should a private business let government decide who can speak and how and their platform? China does that and it's not funny.
Congrats! It will probably take me 5x as long to build the same thing because I'm a perfectionist who's always hemming and hawing over changing plans or the right way to do things. It definitely feels awesome once you complete it though.
Seconded. And you can download the source and run it locally as well (see the top left).
I’ve spent more time than I wanted to fixing tests that used a factory for test data and the factory didn’t understand things like, “all the results have to be unique”,and so would fail once in a while.

When you repeat “once in a while” 100 times, now they are failing a couple times a week.

The whole point of tests is 1) to have confidence in the code you’re shipping, and 2) to only demand attention when something is wrong. The latter is why tests have to be fast, and deterministic. Random failures and thumb twiddling both cost you things you are paying a huge chunk of theoretical developer output not to have to deal with.

It’s often been the people who don’t like tests who write the least effective ones, and sometimes it’s hard to discern lack of experience from wish fulfillment. If these were acceptable tests, I’d hate unit testing too.
There are plenty of tricks to make improving yourself easier. I could list dozens, especially with respect to eating, drinking, and exercising.

As for social media, I'm not aware of as many, and I'm guessing the OP isn't either, which prompted his post.

Just copying another comment abotu the energy consumption of online adverising

"The online advertising ecosystem resides in the core of the Internet, and it is the sole source of funding for many online services. Therefore, it is an essential factor in the analysis of the Internet's energy footprint. As a result, in 2016, online advertising consumed 20–282 TWh of energy. In the same year, the total infrastructure consumption ranged from 791 to 1334 TWh. With extrapolated 2016 input factor values without uncertainties, online advertising consumed 106 TWh of energy and the infrastructure 1059 TWh. With the emission factor of 0.5656 kg CO2e/kWh, we calculated the carbon emissions of online advertising, and found it produces 60 Mt CO2e (between 12 and 159 Mt of CO2e when considering uncertainty). The share of fraudulent online advertising traffic was 13.87 Mt of CO2e emissions (between 2.65 and 36.78 Mt of CO2e when considering uncertainty)."
The paper was: "Environmental impact assessment of online advertising"

at least in the States one effective counterforce to this concern is that judges are very adamant about the separation of policy making (legislation) and the courts (judiciary). Most judges are conservative (read 'purist') about the doctrine of the separation of the branches of government and don't take well to pressures from the other two. The upshot is that warrant issuance is seen as a vital part of their domain and they don't sell it away.
CO2 concentrations are a bit like traffic jams: a small increase can lead to catastrophic consequences.
Normally 6+ hours each week (swim, run, cycle for triathlon, cross country skiing during winter), I bike everywhere so 30-60 minutes additionally to the workout a day of biking.

Sucks with a third lockdown and swim groups are on hold again. And I actually broke my cross country shoe (!) in half the other day, so waiting for stores to open so I can replace it and get out again. So today I decided to use Wandrer.earth and try to bike all streets in my city. With the amount of snow that was a bad idea, hehe.

Last two years had a knee issue no one can figure out, which has hampered the amount of training a bit. Hurts medial side/hamstring, and is as if my knee cannot track properly anymore and have become knock-kneed on one knee. :(
> Nuclear reactors are unreliable. Compare them to solar, which is very different.

> Solar produces power according to sunshine

So, according to weather. Which isn't exactly renowned for being reliable.

This is about wind power, not solar, but another tweet I saw recently mentioned "Solar availability in mid-winter: 0 %" It's also in Swedish, but the picture speaks for itself. https://mobile.twitter.com/HenrikSundstrom/status/1472654421...
It was pg's coinage, but I don't know where he first used it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4693920 was the first time on HN, a few weeks before the link you mention. I think he might have introduced it in an essay before that, though.

We use the term 'shallow dismissal' in HN moderation instead—arguably a bit of a euphemistic move, but for moderation purposes it's a lot better to talk about the post than about the person. The word 'shallow' makes that clearer than the word 'middlebrow' does.

There sitemap is even wrong ? https://www.4chan.org/sitemap.xml It redirects to the http version. Also, i can't access the page without accepting the rules ( perhaps that's related?)

> communities.win

I found it with Google, but it really isn't SEO optimized even and it's backlinks ( low quality) + domain authority is really low: https://ahrefs.com/nl/backlink-checker

Additionally, the content seems to be misleading/untruthful. So that would bring down the trustworthiness of the entire site ( backlinks of similar sites). It's the same way spam is threated, by their organic links.

Backlinks include: conspiracies.win , cancelthiscompany.com, patriots.win, greatawakening.win, weekendgunnit.win, ...

A search engine is about finding usefull results. And while communities.win could be usefull for the ones that know it and they can find it through Google. I doubt many other people would even look for it or find it useful.

I don't think it is the best strategy to build a dangerous pathogen, because we do not have the capability to contain it reliably. We just do not, as has been demonstrated many times. Humans are involved, and mistakes will happen.

To imagine you are "preparing" for a possible outcome, by realizing that exact outcome (as this pandemic may demonstrate), is like training the fire department by burning down Chicago.
I use a JSON formatting tool a lot (https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/). I do wonder sometimes about pasting sensitive data into sites like this, and what they might be doing with it.

Strange in a way, that companies spend so much effort restricting how we handle sensitive data, and then you copy and paste it into any website with an input box and no one seems to care. Fingers crossed and all that.

These sites are like camera phones when it comes to data. Everyone pretends they don't exist and can't copy data; that our security measures all work, just because.

Also, RGB to HEX. I'm always looking to convert one to the other, or choose similar colors to one I'm working with. The sites I use (at the top of Google) are always lacking in some ways.

Tiny living makes sense when remodeling a tiny downtown apartment to suit your needs -- saving you from having to buy a house or larger apartment.

But tiny houses in the middle of nowhere makes no sense..

Same with EVs if you are otherwise naturally replacing your car, sure go EV, otherwise it's probably better to hold off.
...lobby to have the building code changed.

Huh.

It's kind of neat to realize you can actually just go and do that. So easy to just write that sort of thing off as interminable because it will be hard. Very cool idea.

On a related note, I'm torn about applying the same idea to new residential constructions, and the minimum amount that would be appropriate to require. Such a concept would make for example running fiber straightforward and inexpensive.

Thank you for learning English. Hopefully that response helped you learn more of it.
it's not really a video about increase of deaths and heart-attacks - it's just a video that compiles all sorts of sport-related deaths and heart-attacks, we do not actually know if there's an increase or not, since no data from before 2020 was presented

Consider a Blockchain where proof-of-work mining takes place by solving a hard problem: for a given set of parameters, determine how long life will last in a realistic ancestor simulation. Consider also a play-to-earn game in the form of a realistic ancestor simulation where players grind menial portions of the game and sell the artifacts of their progress in a market backed by the aforementioned Blockchain. With apologies to Bostrom, we must accept exactly one of these as true:

- that this is not technologically possible with current or future tech

- no one would possibly do something this stupid

- it is nearly 100% certain that our universe exists in someone's hair-brained web3 Ponzi scheme
I'm talking about during work. I work from home and the covid restrictions here (NL) mean that I've had the kids at home an average of two days a week. I also have a high pressure + important job (the NL COVID apps the last 6-7 months one of the key technical people driving the EU-DCC and other vaccination credentials).

I've had to stop coding because of it; finally admitted defeat (I love coding) and have essentially 10x'd my effectiveness. So there's that.

Before COVID my screen time with the kids was when sitting waiting for them to go to sleep, or feeding during the night (or staying up with them).
They count housing through rent, to avoid speculative asset pricing stuff.
Official numbers for Europe are available at https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/

They have graphs with excess deaths by age groups and you can see that 2021 looks worse than 2020, with a noticeable upwards trend starting around week 16 of 2021.
> I have tried having a normal discussion, which is not something I can say for you.

You have not at any point tried to answer my original question. At every point you deflect to a straw man.

> It says clearly "decommissioning nuclear, YET producing MORE carbon dioxide". It's not true, and there's no other way around it.

As I have quite clearly explained to you, this can refer either to absolute or relative changes. It doesn't take a lot of goodwill to decide that they probably meant relative changes, and then from there on you can address issues (such as pros/cons of nuclear) that actually matter, instead of splitting hairs and argue about language.

> A lot of pro nuclear people are shaking their heads in dismay because the CO2 numbers in Germany are going up. They are not!

They presumably are, relative to what they could have been, no? That seems a perfectly good reason to be upset, even if you don't agree with nuclear as the best option. If you immediately lambast people for not using language the way you think it should be used, you are inevitably going to lose a lot of credibility. Goodwill is necessary for a constructive debate, and you're not really showing that here.

> How you then managed to spin it into a comparison to a fictional parallel universe where the plants are still on and concluded that a decrease is actually an increase I don't know.

If you're having trouble understanding the concept of a relative change, perhaps this is not the best discussion to be involved in. Far too often I see people comment loudly and denounce their opponents as idiots, when it is in fact themselves that don't fully understand the nuances and complexities.
I give VW a lot of credit here, they somehow got dealers to hold the line on the ID.4. It was a long wait but a good delivery and purchase experience.
Doh you're right! I was still closer than these pilots though :)
I've been in pain bad enough that, had someone asked me my name, I'd have needed a while to come up with an answer that would itself have taken real effort just to say. I don't know whether that experience was more or less "metaphysically meaningful", a term I note you seem in no hurry to define, for the fact that it drove my consciousness so far into abeyance that I could no longer perceive even the passage of time. I don't think it matters either way, because while it's happening that kind of pain becomes the only real thing in the world. Why should this be any less true for a chicken than for me?
When I got my new phone I never installed Instagram, Facebook or TikTok.

I kept the social media apps on my old phone only, so that one became my 'social media phone's instead of my main phone.
Very anecdotal but me and everyone I know is in crappy shape and fallen to different coping mechanisms during Covid
Numbers are tricky though. There’s much less than 100k covid deaths for those under 50. Whereas I would guess that’s the lion share of opioid deaths. 50-64 is another weird inflection point. It’s totally possible for covid to kill 6x as many people but for opioids to have a bigger impact of life expectancy. One 20 year old death is only offset by 60 or so 80 year old deaths.
Because that would cause an uproar that Sony is scalping gamers. Same with Nvidia.
There are a lot of countries where people need anything but centralised money. Because they have every reason not to trust the ones who would run the central authority.

It's hard for some first-world country citizens to imagine that.
I did the same two years ago :)
Wow, that's a fantastic feature for development! I remember once we explored various approaches to resetting the DB, because resetting the DB between tests was about half the time of the test suite.

In our case the static data wasn't huge so just truncating every table then re-adding the static data was fast enough. I think originally it was doing something like a mysqldump restore.
Umm, aren't those just modern holiday cabins?
> Ford took reservations

iirc, for a Mach-E reservation, Ford made you choose a local dealer as part of the process.

Anyone know how that played out? Were you locked into that dealer, and could they adjust the price?

The Mach-E $500 was refundable, like with Tesla. I'm reading that the Lightning deposit is $100, refundable. So the $5000 must be the step beyond that.

App devs can build any app they want on top of these web3 protocols, but their apps may have to pay a fee to interact with those protocols. The fee incentivizes the actors that host (run nodes for) the protocol. That fee may or may not be passed on to users. It's a bit like paying a microtransaction for certain HTTP requests. The amount of times that a user has to pay a fee can be minimized through various pieces of technology like rollups (read about zk rollups and optimistic rollups if you're curious).
Probably a big one. Drug overdoses have killed more 18-54 year olds in Canada than Covid has.

Hell, in British Columbia there have been more drug overdoses than Covid deaths across all ages.
I mostly don't use Twitter, Facebook, or Reddit. I have reason to log into my Facebook account a few times a year. The only reason I log into Twitter is when I get a link to a Twitter thread, same with Reddit. I'm no paragon of restraint, I had to delete Universal Paperclip from my phone to quit playing it. I guess the easiest way to deal with any addiction is not to become addicted in the first place. Not great advice for people who are already addicted. . .
I find it telling that several currently live privacy networks were mentioned in this comment tree that you can use today, yet you still latch on to the word "eventually" and call the space a scam.
