Please stick to intelligent discussion. I didn't specify an alternative model for a good reason, it doesn't exist yet.

But your attempt to pre-empt that the only possible alternative is Chinese style state-sponsered capitalism illustrates the paucity of your imagination or the malice of your intentions
I'm being fairly literal when I say that federated social networking is feudalism.

That's not a better/worse value judgment -- just pointing out that some folks make the mistake of believing otherwise.

As far as value judgments go though, I've long been saying that the current model for the internet is crushing us; that collectively as a society we should get together and abolish the use and creation of social networking sites (the same way qualuudes don't exist today); and that "skin in the game" should be required for online services -- no more "free" stuff where the product is actually the user. I will gladly pay for an email account that isn't mining my data, or a search engine that's actually useful, etc.
> Monkeytpe won’t let Keen run up the leaderboard, but he did win another typing competition using the CharaChorder to hit 267 WPM with 76% accuracy.

Oof. That’s bad. No other mention of accuracy anywhere else.
“I have to say that the guy raised a huge red flag for me already in the first paragraph: ‘I hit the gym, pursued the most interesting and important ideas I could find, and started looking for a wife.’ “

A healthy body, a healthy mind, and a healthy relationship are not red flags.

The guys at Palladium talk about religion as a social technology. People stuck in the “new atheism” phase will find this hard to follow.

Whether a belief is false or true is often completely irrelevant. Even if the Gods are "imaginary", their impact is most definitely real.
Hah! Our enemy’s propaganda is such foolish nonsense—no one would fall for that! However, I am quite concerned for the little people of our enemy’s nation, because our propaganda is so subtle and intelligent…
The quality of cadbury chocolate has been getting worse over the years since Kraft bought them out. I still buy it because it looks like the same product, kinda tastes like it, and ultimately will give me what I want. I don't disagree the quality of Google's results has gone down - but you are talking about changing user behaviour here and for the majority (not you and I) google still does what it needs.
Beautiful compilation, took me back to the 90s!
Thanks!
I have a few aliases in there from when someone stole my identity. They refuse to remove them.
That's not what it means now, or at least it has grown a more popular meaning which is clearly what the original poster was using. The alternate definition is explained in the 3rd paragraph on wiki

"The terms woke capitalism and woke-washing have arisen to describe companies who signal support for progressive causes as a substitute for genuine reform. By 2020, parts of the political center and right wing in several Western countries were using the term woke, often in an ironic way, as an insult for various progressive or leftist movements and ideologies perceived as over-zealous, performative, or insincere."

But perhaps you knew that already.

Actually the comparison with Netflix is quite apt. For twice the price I get lots (and I really mean lots) of shows streamed to my house. In contrast here, here I get a search service that is provided by others for free. For the average Joe the value proposition is very different. So you really have to be valuing privacy very strongly and/or have significant disposible income.

Note I actually like the service and I signed up for the beta, but I understand the GPs point about building two "webs" one for the masses and one for the "well off" that can afford these tools. However as one other poster said, you have to bootstrap a service somehow and if it gets popular enough there could be the ability to reduce fees to give it mass appeal.
The law (paraphrased for brevity): It’s illegal to use salary history of an applicant to inform the hiring decision or salary offer of an applicant.

Whether there’s any value to the data depends on whether the “applicant” is the same human under the law. If I’m using the data to understand the market curve for a position, and to use that curve to inform my offer to all applicants, I’d wager that’s okay under the law, even if any specific applicant’s data is among the thousands of data points that went into that curve.

Let’s assume a good faith effort here, rather than a company trying to use tortured logic “we’re just trying to understand the salary curve for an SWE with SSN xxx-xx-xxxx”, that they’re trying to understand their local market and that specific SWE is 1 of 50,000 in the dataset and then happens to apply. I think that’s okay (both legally and morally).
I subscribe to Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon (although that's just a byproduct of prime), and am happy to continue paying ~£30/month (which is roughly what a basic Cable package would cost me), and even pay the occasional £20 one off for a digital purchase of a "cinema" movie (see: Disney+'s recent releases, new bond movie etc).

However, when studios resort to pulling tricks like [0], artificially limiting content (john wick 2 is available on netflix, but to watch the first, you have to purchase it on another service), or just being fragmented (which of the 5 apps on my PC has the content I'm looking for?) I start to get super frustrated at the services, and if this continues will either likely just stop paying for the content, or look elsewhere. The content needs to be easily accessible in high quality or it's going to lose to piracy.

Recently I read about Chinese reusing frames from Top Gun as theur military propaganda.

It's even funnier that it turns out they just reused US propaganda as theirs.
I find it quite mysterious why white truffles don't grow so well in the Americas. Thoughts anyone?
Democracy and propaganda aren't mutually exclusive. Plus, the US isn't a democracy. In fact, most countries banging the democracy-propaganda-horn aren't actually democracies. Austria, for example, is a Republic. Democracy is just a smokescreen.
I've not seen much production use of crystal, but its cool to see such a nice product using it. I've been quite happy with kagi since I got my invite.

Crystal really is quite neat, I've got a few years experience with go and picking up Crystal has been easy and quick to get productive. Being able to call C so easily (especially when generated with crystal_lib) is pretty amazing and a big boost compared with go.

Oh okay, so then it is pretty similar than in Finland!
Common, just another 5 years of pump and dumps before Cardano is no longer vaporware and we can all justify its peak market cap being the same as BP at ~95 billion US dollars.
Really? I think you can make a generic “US bad, <insert other country name, typically from Europe> good” and you’ll get a cheering chorus from HN, Reddit, Twitter, etc. on… almost any topic these days.

As a US citizen I just don’t really care anymore, I sometimes get a good chuckle every time someone tells me I’m oppressed or living in a hellhole. I’m happy where I live and though I recognize there’s faults and I do try to improve them where I can. Maybe it’s state actors, maybe it’s not; I wouldn’t care about a stranger’s opinion in real life, so why would I bother caring about a stranger online? Too little time in life for that.

I get paid as soon as my work is done. Sometimes literally and in physical cash. I'm working on transitioning to getting paid for my time before people even enter my office.

Credit is money, but it shouldn't be. We allowed it to become money and it's the reason for so much of the insanity we face today.
Al Jazeera is an outlet for the Muslim world. Sometimes their interests lie with the west, sometimes not. In general they are anti-Russian though, as Russia has been fighting Islamic militants for years (often ones armed by the US and Islamic nations).
I think that is part of the problem. If it doesn't take much time, then I can just do it later... :(
> When does that ever happen?

All the time. Debt is almost ubiquitous, and the vast majority of people and businesses use it productively.
Only German lawyers are disgusting enough to go after seeders and downloaders who never intend to distribute "illegally" downloaded content. Sometimes they themselves seed torrents and monitor who else is seeding or leeching. If they happen to not use VPNs or proxy, and based in Germany, they get a legal notice from them.

Nobody ever went to jail doing this. Some paid hefty fines, though.

But a friend said that you can send them a counter notice where they have to prove that it was you at that time at that computer downloading or uploading. After doing this, someone he knows never heard back from these absolute parasites of the society.

(I am not a lawyer, and this should not be taken as legal advice.)
As a non-native English speaker not living in the US, I've heard the word (or rather, read) multiple times but I honestly have never bothered to research what it actually means but I think I've kinda gotten the context around it(?)

I've seen it being tossed around on Reddit when there's post about US politics/US social issues and it always looked to me like a generic insult thrown at somebody who doesn't like the more conservative "side" of the US political spectrum. I basically got the impression that it's a shorthand for "You think your opinion and views are modern and hip but I don't share the same view on the world and you are stupid due to that". Reading now Urban dictionary, I see that I was.. kinda on the right track?

US is really weird :)
Yes, but thankfully markets aren't completely free and the government sets a floor on the price of your labor and things like price gouging are illegal.

And if we all had to negotiate our salaries from a minimum wage it would be an epic waste of time for both employers and job-seekers, so what point are you actually making here?

I was quite directly saying that employers in creative spaces in NYC are taking advantage of salary information (or even labor law) inequality in order to exploit the people they hire. NYC has quite-rightly decided to make this illegal and is leveling the playing field somewhat.

I don't think they intend to stop there, just like the people who came up with the Sabbath and the weekend and the 40 hour workweek weren't making absolute claims about the best way to structure work, but it might be a slow evolution.
This is more or less what Brazil is doing, but they voted for a (luckily incompetent) proto-dictator to prevent the danger of "communism" (as in "voting for a center-left party" communism).

Democracy only works well with a well informed electorate. This is why we need to fight the diffusion of propaganda disguised as news.
The popular psilocybin mushroom types are all saprophytic, they grow on decomposing plant matter or dung. Truffle fungi are mycorrhizal, they form complex symbioses with trees, exchanging water and nutrients with them.

Not only does that make them harder to grow, it also makes them a lot more chill about producing fruiting bodies (a.k.a the actual mushroom caps that we eat). Saprophytic fungi need to move on once the matter they grow on runs out of nutrients. Mycorrhizal fungi can live comfortably for decades with their host tree and only produce fruiting bodies when the conditions are optimal.
This is some cool work. Could you elaborate more on the algorithm used? How do you go from height map to near-real-time shadows given time of day/year? Is it all through raycasting or a faster technique?
Heh that was the first thing i thought, not a fan of the icon. If you claim to be better why use small mind tricks like this?
Covid has opened a lot of eyes. When mortality is on the line in a job people start to think hey what does this really mean. Hoping the current and upcoming generations will make choices towards a better future.
I solved this by lowering the expectations of how much I'm going to do - I usually just say to myself, let's do 1-2 things today, where these things are well defined, small pieces of work. Sometimes I can finish and can take 1 more thing of the list, sometimes I do one thing, sometimes I need to break the task up because it's too large. But I make a bit of progress every day even it it's just a centimeter or two. It adds up and I'm less stressed.
You mean "according to the interior ministry". Of course the government will make it sound like it is the real victim here (while also celebrating its Kill to Death Ratio). The government also claims there are "20,000 bandits" who it "[has] to destroy ... soon". Comparison to Tienanmen could be an understatement, if the government achieves its goals.
It's kind of crazy how much we rely on ambulances that most often than not feel like they're too slow.Now i know the feeling of time slowing down due to emotional involvement in the heat of the moment, but that doesn't mean there are not a lot of variables from the person needing help to the nearest 'trained medical expert'.The solution imo can be improved by having both more people know basic medical procedures and also more useful devices around.
For those that read the note the blog is gone but I searched HN for the author and found the discussion the day this was posted.

He did end up making it because people called the police.

This isn't to undercut the message of this comment, it is clear from the blog that Dennis was very close to dying because of the financial situation he was in and how hopeless it made him feel. I just had to know what happened after reading the note.

Does Syncthing allow you to sync two differently-named folders as one folder while preserving the respective names? For example, your pictures folder may not be called the same thing on your phone and computer, or across Windows and Linux, or you want to sync game save files between Android and Windows.
> Like when black actors get representation in media previously dominated by white people, to me that is just a good thing, but I see reports that many think this is “wokeness”, which they think is bad.

In the 90s Will Smith starred in Independence Day, and absolutely no one complained (as far as I know) because Will Smith is awesome and he deserved the role. See also Blade from the same era.

People get upset when it's clear that a person has been chosen for a role/position just because of their skin colour/gender/sexuality rather than their talent. I can't actually think of any movies that have done this, but plenty of TV shows (Star Trek Discovery).

Obviously some roles require the person to be of a certain race for it to appear authentic. Lots of older films used white actors for middle Eastern roles, which is seen as "white washing" and is therefore wrong. The latest Ghost in the Shell race swapped the main character to be American, and was rightly called out for doing so.

Basically we should be allowed to criticize both ways...
As a US citizen living in the EU. They don’t give two fucks where you live and will happily tell anyone anything that has your social security number. I’ve thought about trying to complain to them about the GDPR… but anyway, if you have a non-US card, the US credit checks won’t register it because the non-US banks don’t report it, even though they know you’re a US citizen. We have a non-US Mastercard and Amex, and they aren’t on our US credit reports. In fact, we no longer have any US debt but our credit scores are less than 500 for paying it all off. It may literally be impossible to move back and have the same quality of life we did when we moved away. Might just stay here forever.
Main issue to me is that in my experience unless I put the phone on the dash (where it can easily overheat in summer unless I put it right on the aircon vent) the phone doesn't grab the gps satellite signal that easily.
British war films made 1939-1945 were explicitly propaganda. And there was a lot of them.

and as a law student, it's stupid that torrent seeding is considered as releasing something to the internet. It is meant to be penal to be releaser or initial uploader - at least in polish(europe) criminal code, but non-technical judges just go with it, I hate it, but i'm not sure what polish equivalent of polish SCOTUS wrote about it to be honest

Many small things is the way big things form, all collapses happen this way because humans don't understand compounded exponential changes and react too late.

Right now not a single company is making any profit, the margin calls are filling with debt at a rate that nobody can comprehend.

Just a question of time, it's inevitable, what goes up must come down.
I disagree about the Dropbox folder criticism. It's actually simplifies things a lot: whatever you put there is synced. Very straightforward. You won't break anything.

Syncthing, on the other hand, is far too geeky and easy to ruin things if you somehow sync a rapidly updated folder. I've moved a few people to Syncthing and in the end they all were not very happy with it for one reason or another. It also isn't as clear on the sync state of a file.
Perhaps you are viewing it from a country, that has purchasing power this pricing was designed to. I'm viewing it from Czech Republic and see the message there.

I don't see what urban dictionary entries lead you to believe you are on the right track, but the top voted 2-3 do not. Those are what it means: hypocrisy and insincerity about progressive causes.
The dropdown has options for "GDPR (UK)", "GDPR (EU)" or "CCPA" so they have actually already done this.
I grew up watching Soviet movies about war, which usually depict very different picture. Sure, there are heroes, but they are not super heroes as in American movies. They get injured, die. Soviet war movies show that wars really suck.
The interest rates are high enough and the debt terms are short enough that they get screwed hard by relative buying power loss long before any of that matters.

Having your car loan evaporate over three years doesn't mean crap if you can't afford to make the payment after one.
I don’t think you understand statistics, herd immunity, viral reservoirs, how comorbidities work, or genetic mutation of viruses.

It makes no sense to not get a free vaccine that is now the safest most tested medication in human history that can prevent the spread and continued mutation of the most deadly pandemic virus in 100 years.

Edit:

To reiterate. You do not seem to understand your own sources you provide. You have twisted every article you link to provide justification of not getting vaccines when they literally all state the risks from the vaccines are lower than the risks from CoVID-19, that while the vaccines do not provide absolute herd immunity they do slow the spread and reduce the risk of hospitalization and death.

Your argument about myocarditis is inane given that young men are 100 times more likely to suffer it if they get CoViD-19.

Your argument that the vaccine isn’t preventative is nonsense as it clearly prevents death and hospitalization over non-vaccination across all age groups.

Your interpretation of this paper doesn’t understand that statistical analysis is highly flawed in comparing other treatments for continuous exposure disease to the singular event exposure is absurd on its face.

Please, get off Facebook, Reddit, or whatever other “mom” groups you’re in and go talk to an actual
Immunologist and virus/vaccine researcher to help you better understand these things you’re so passionately ignorant about.

Great articles, it seems that most (not just French) wines are produced by grafting wines onto a phylloxera (insects that feed on the vines) resistant rootstock. From the gizmodo article:

It's hard to compare modern wine, which is all grown on grafted vines, to pre-phylloxera wines (the notable exceptions being Chilean wine, and wine from the occasional European vineyard that was spared from the blight).

And:

Though modern chemistry and genetics have given agriculture plenty of new tools to fight pests, the ancient practice of grafting, honed during the Great French Wine Blight, remains the method of choice for protecting grape vines. "Rootstocks are the 'cure-all' for many soil-borne pests and diseases, but not all," Walker says. "In the past fumigation and pesticides controlled some of these issues, but if phylloxera are present, rootstocks are essential."
Just also want to point out that freezing might result in certain parties that you do want to verify your employment from being able to do so.

If you're in the process of buying a house, you might want to hold off on this freeze until your mortgage has been approved. Might be true if you

Imagine suffering from fibromyalgia, CFS or a similar condition for 15 years and then just once taking 2000mg of vitamin B1 and having all symptoms relieved immediately. One wonders if medicine is not led astray by the insistence on bleeding-edge research.
