Thank you for this comment — this is such an important part of the story.

The only reason I could think of for the demonetisation was because family brands didn’t want to be alongside this content. What kind of family advertiser opts to display their content on “not for kids” videos?

Unless — forgive some hyperbole — Oreos want in on the Megan Thee Stallion hype with amongst 9 year olds.
>How do you figure out "by simple trial and error" which piece failed, why it failed, what the original piece was supposed to look like, and finally repair it, without expert knowledge and precision tools?

For a typewriter? It's not even a challenge, 14 year olds have done bigger projects in their garages. And not even particularly bright 14 year olds - and not even today, with fast access to all kinds of information, schematics and such.

Typewriters? Teenagers have been fixing electronic devices, building custom radios, amplifiers, circuits, and such for over 60 years - with "look at the shelves at Radio Shack" level of availability (and much worse in developing countries).

I've fixed MIDI equipment on my own when I was 14, and I was hardly that bright or familiar with electronics and soldering guns, or had access to the (then non-existing) web. And to be frank, I've never bothered to delve into electronics even later (though I did had some engineering classes at uni).

>At a wild guess I'd expect it'd take me a few years to do this reliably

You overblow what should be a couple of weeks or a month at most, and that's for someone mechanics-inept.
Wow, WebOne looks awesome, thank you! My second computer is a 2005 mac mini..and it can't see ~98% of the web. I'll try that.
What it always means: getting your investments back (I don’t think that paper corrects for inflation)

The paper is light on details to start with, but doesn’t mention that at all. I think they build housing and sell it to people wanting to live there.
It's all a matter of probabilities.
It’s an interesting discussion. I’m fairly certain that the yellow pages only referred to commercial listings in the US, but I don’t recall anyone saying "check the white pages" for a residential number in the states, so maybe it was a colloquial misnomer.
As a follow-on thought experiment, if 60 million customers stop buying from Texas companies, let’s say, from whom do they now end up buying those products? Possibly from some existing mega-corporations, which probably has a net negative on society as a whole, or possibly from small business owners elsewhere —- maybe mainly those that've been somehow disenfranchised by those Texas-based companies in the past. The latter maybe being a net positive for society as a whole.

Not arguing that you’re wrong; just suggesting that a seemingly simple thought experiment in this case is still very complicated on a societal scale. In general I’d argue that facts and truth are most central to productive and well-balanced societies, and combatting non-truth is therefore the most generally useful approach, but widespread discussion of ideas in general is also central.
Why do most users need to contribute? The value is the ecosystem. The point is we don’t have to contribute to everything we use. We can build on the work of others and they can build on ours.

Even developers of common libraries are relying on an amount of open code so immense they couldn’t possibly make contributions to all of it. This is the beauty of free software.
It's not a reflection of what American people want. It's a reflection

I really dislike the idea o Soylent or any kind of tube food, but also even frozen meals, fast food and up to a point food delivery

I think all that just pushes people away from their connection with food, the best way for people to eating healthier (and tastier!) stuff is by increasing their love for food. If you just give it ready to them, you take their opportunity to learn.

That’s why diets don’t work a lot of times, people just follow blindly a list of stuff to eat, which they eventually give up, instead of understanding the underlying idea and introducing it to their routine.

Learn how to cook, taste it slowly, enjoy it. Eat real food, not too much, mostly plants
I did this course after someone mentioned in here a year ago, and have recommended it to a lot of people since. It's a very well structured and also up to date providing a good intro to RISC-V.

I came across a compiler bug when doing the course with gcc outputting incorrect ASM which was quite exciting as I've never come across one in the wild before. I really should check if that's been fixed and report it if not.
Yep. I had this conversation with my daughter the other day. She was like "But ... they just think the same thing about what you're saying". I was like "Totally, the only difference is that I'm right, and they're wrong". She was like "how do you know?". That lead to a much longer session of reviewing types of biases and fallacies, the scientific method and various other critical thinking tools I've developed over the years, but whoever is on the "other side" is having the same conversation with their kids, and showing them tools and resources they've developed over the years to decide what information to trust and, to the kid, it's just as convincing!!

This was one of the videos we looked at, I think it's totally on point:

I am a technologist and religious. I think hacker news is one of the few places I feel free to be both. I am not looking for a platform to be religious however my answers to philosophical questions are generally handled with respect. HN keeps me up to speed with tech and let's me be myself.
Didn't K8 add an autopilot or similar feature to make it easier to grok?
Cool! Haven't used it with containers (Docker Desktop has been good enough), but am quite a Lima fan.

The main issues I've had are in networking and you have to keep in mind that you have to explicitly specify writable directories. Other than that it seems pretty well comparable to WSL2.
It's a client-side thing, not a server-side thing. That is, if you have a resource (like an href to another page) in your html, and that link is a relative link, the full URL that your browser ends up requesting depends on whether there is a trailing slash or not, because "relative" is relative to the current URL's directory, and what is considered the current directory differs depending on the presence of a trailing slash.
I would say it takes next to no practice or hard work at all. That's the problem with putting it under the "hacking" umbrella term.

Anyone can send an email with a link, chuck some USBs in a parking lot or pretend they're an employee at a company. All you need is one curious or lazy employee.

Sure it has its uses but to compare it to hacking is ridiculous and tbh the only reason I think it is done is because back in the day hacking contests were completely male dominated and they had to save face.
Why would the regulators ever approve this if they rejected Nvidia’s bid?
You see, this sounds really cool. So what kinds of problems fit COBOL? And why did "we" conclude from this that general purpose languages were the solution, rather than building many different languages for specific problems? Did "we" even conclude that, or is that just my impression, 50 years later?
She claims to have slept with all 4 members of The Beatles. Methinks most of the stories she tells are nonsense, but she suits the prevailing narrative for a certain segment of the media.
I've been using the site for ~14 years and watching its decline has been quite difficult. I really like the premise, but it clearly hit the limits of its system many years ago. I recall reading some commentary from one of the founders near the beginning. They were working on research to exploit crowd-funded effort. Effectively incentivising users just enough to encourage them to work for free. They came up with the distributed moderation system. Give egoists just a little bit of power and they'll spend 12 hours a day moderating Reddit for free.

This worked fine with smaller communities and the ability for competition when moderators overstep their mandate and make their communities a bad place. Unfortunately, for many reasons, this is all failing.

1. Reddit management has made their political leanings clear: if you are conservative, you are unwelcome. When I say "conservative" I'm not referring to the far-right. I'm referring to mainstream conservatism about family values, hard work, religion, etc. No example could better encapsulate their position than their "Anti-Evil Operations" team, which bans people for any and all reasons, including unpalatable political positions. Admins/staff on this team have been quite candid about their desire to ban conservative views. This aligns well with Reddit's announced IPO. Sanitising discussion to be advertiser friendly will help their bottom line.

2. The user base leans heavily left. It seems certain large websites have a theme now. When one considers the kinds of discussion which happen on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, we all know which way those sites lean. Reddit is pretty hard left now. For example, the /r/Science subreddit is 24/7 "Study finds Trump voters have low IQ." The Joe Rogan fun subreddit is 24/7 "Does anyone else think Joe Rogan is Hitler?" There is zero space for nuanced discussion except in some very niche subreddits, and they are all inevitably taken over by a power mod who purges nuanced discussion.

3. The anonymous mod system is just not equipped to deal with tens of millions of users in a single subreddit. The top mod is the dictator, and they always end up enforcing their biases on the sub; overtly and subtly. This is exacerbated because of...

4. Subreddit squatting. A perfect example of this are the country name subreddits. Everyone from said country new to Reddit subscribes to these subs. They are all cheerleaders for a particular political party within each country. If you don't like that political party, you're marginalised and usually banned. It's not as simple as creating a competing country subreddit because few people will ever find it. No one thinks to search for "TrueCanada" if they're looking for "Canada." Of course, the the original subreddit automatically removes any mention of the competing sub, and bans anyone discussing it.

There are just too many issues to discuss them all, or in much detail. IMHO, Reddit is ready for a Digg-style exodus. People are just waiting for a clear alternative.
I would say it is sometimes a good use of time to build a date-picker as a learning exercise

> Several things come into play for Spotify artist payouts like the listener's subscription tier and country of origin, the number of streams a song has, advertising revenue per market, and distribution contracts.

> In a tweet, classical violinist Tasmin Little with 755,000 monthly subscribers has disclosed earning £12.34 ($17) for five to six million streams.

The only way we'll know is if they release the information, and my guess is that neither party will do so publicly. I would guess $2k/mo. but I could be wrong. This is still pretty good considering there are multiple streaming platforms.

Just checking out Neil Young on YouTube Music he has only approx 440k subscribers, vs someone like Jason Mraz with 3.4M. I am guessing that the numbers on Spotify are likely skewed by a bit as well.
I'm not aware of any evidence of immunity after recovery waning over time. Omicron seems to infect more people with a previous infection than delta did, but protection from hospitalization is still strong. I'm interested to see otherwise if you have links.

The CDC looked at how people fared with delta with a previous diagnosis by March 2021, so presumably anywhere from when pcr and antigen tests started up until March. There is no breakdown of previous variants in this study, its just if you had a previous infection, you were protected.

I know, this doesn't sound like anything you've heard yet. They still manage to slip in a recommendation that "all eligible persons should be up to date with COVID-19 vaccination", but the data doesn't support that.

> Four cohorts of persons aged ≥18 years were assembled via linkages of records from electronic laboratory reporting databases and state-specific immunization information systems.† Persons were classified based on whether they had had a laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection by March 1, 2021 (i.e., previous COVID-19 diagnosis)§; had received at least the primary COVID-19 vaccination series¶ by May 16, 2021; had a previous COVID-19 diagnosis and were fully vaccinated*; or had neither received a previous COVID-19 diagnosis by March 1 nor received a first COVID-19 vaccine dose by the end of the analysis period.

> By the week beginning October 3, compared with COVID-19 cases rates among unvaccinated persons without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, case rates among vaccinated persons without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis were 6.2-fold (California) and 4.5-fold (New York) lower; rates were substantially lower among both groups with previous COVID-19 diagnoses, including 29.0-fold (California) and 14.7-fold lower (New York) among unvaccinated persons with a previous diagnosis, and 32.5-fold (California) and 19.8-fold lower (New York) among vaccinated persons with a previous diagnosis of COVID-19. During the same period, compared with hospitalization rates among unvaccinated persons without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, hospitalization rates in California followed a similar pattern. These results demonstrate that vaccination protects against COVID-19 and related hospitalization, and that surviving a previous infection protects against a reinfection and related hospitalization. Importantly, infection-derived protection was higher after the Delta variant became predominant, a time when vaccine-induced immunity for many persons declined because of immune evasion and immunologic waning (2,5,6).
Shareholder sue for almost everything in the US. It's the modern general purpose regulation.

That often includes stuff that you would classify under 'morals'.
I have a substack which occasionally talks about human genetics (from an informed POV – I have published in the field) so I checked out Substack’s actual policies.

They really are pretty liberal. I assumed they would have some policies against racism, but all they have is a ban on threats of harm to groups.

OTOH they have a blanket ban on porn. I suspect that is less due to deep political principle, more due to just not wanting to become a porn platform.

I’m glad they’ve made this statement, but I worry that they will feel pressure to water it down as a profit making company. So, I think we still need “protocols not platforms“. Or “not just platforms“.

Admittedly that is an annoying problem, but it's quite simple to arrange the cable as it exits around your neck to stop it happening. I guess it's just a personal preference thing in the end of the day. I personally find wireless annoying on the go, I only use them at my shared office space because they have noise cancelling, so I can keep music at a sensible level and blot out all the background noise; with wired I need the volume at a frankly stupid level to keep me from hearing the office noise.
Speak of rice, cooked rice sometimes only lasts for 2 days even when stored in refrigerator. After that, the rice could become inedible due to biocontamination. Ideally you want to cook rice right before the meal (the same is true for vegetables but for nutrition related reasons).

Meat on the other hand, can be prepared days in advance, then freezed in freezer.
this just means the M1 has a fixed function block for your codec or whatever else you're doing and the 3090 doesn't. or that your video software is crazy broken.

it obviously doesn't matter for your workload, ultimately the M1 is faster and that's all that matters for you. just highlighting that this isn't magic, just hardware matched to use case.
The interesting bit is that this even translated to other languages. In Germany the "Gelbe Seiten" (literally yellow pages) was the commercial listings and the "Telefonbuch" (telephone book) was for normal numbers.
A smart engineer is a lazy engineer. This isn't a statement about how laziness isn't a vice. It is about having a sensible goal.

I would be tempted to argue script kiddies =/= hackers. But that's getting too pedantic I suppose.

To me hacking entails a thorough understanding of the environment.
I think it largely comes from a lack of empathy that has been cultivated for a while now through the loss of social cohesion. It seems like across the board (families, friends, local communities, spouses etc), people are suffering socially and turn to insular groups on social media to cope.
Refuses to play the video "due to the privacy settings". Direct Vimeo link says the same. First time seeing Vimeo breaking like this. That's in Firefox.

Edit - the exact message is "Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here." I'm guessing it's geo-locked.

The quote was "corrupt file corrupts important memory" which is exactly what WUFFS is for. In Rust you can screw up badly enough to still have the bug, doing so is harder but not impossible - but in WUFFS the stupidest file format parsing you can do is merely wrong and can't corrupt anything. In WUFFS possible outcomes of incompetent morons reading an image file include: the colours in the image are wrong, the image is just a solid black or white rectangle because they didn't remember to actually render the image, bits of it are smashed up somehow, and so on. Notice how it's always about the image? WUFFS can't express programs that do other stuff.

General purpose languages are cool, but their unlimited expressiveness is exactly what you don't want for security. Why is this PNG loader able to make network connections and control my camera? You know a bad guy will find a way to force it to use those capabilities right?

Saying that Ivermectin is for horses is like saying penicillin is for horses. True, but deliberately deceptive.

They carried out a disinformation campaign using half-truths. They could complain that this tactic is valid because Ivermectin is ineffective for Covid. But they junked their credibility with the horse nonsense.
Wouldn't that mean a network request and full page reload for every single guess? Genuinely curious how that could be faster than it is.
> So their entry level machines are a great deal -- you get the quality of a 5000€ machine for just 2500€ if you can live with limited storage.

It sounds really weird to talk about 2500 EUR laptop as "entry level".

They don't offer anything under 1000 EUR.
You are correct on both counts "Yellow Pages" was a registered trademark used in many countries for business phone numbers. Phone books also had literal yellow pages with business phone numbers and advertisements in them. It was also a colloquial term, at least where I am from (Midwest, USA) used to refer to the entire phone book.

It's funny how these weird pieces of knowledge stick even with almost zero exposure. Every time I got a phone book or yellow pages dropped on my doorstep in some flimsy transparent bag, I'd throw it directly into the recycle.
Again...where have I asserted that my freedoms are being violated?

I don't think empathy has anything to do with it, and I think that both-sidesing is one of the biggest challenges we face.

The trend that I see as most damaging is denialism as a mainstream philosophy. Denialism leads to distrust and fuels libertarinism, which, by it's very design, is a philosophy of decohesion.

The beginnings of my education on denial came from people fighting one of the largest denialist projects in history, but the strategies across all forms of denial are very similar. It's worth studying in-depth:

That's better performance, not better. Server bills is a pretty ridiculous metric to judge by; most of our server bills are due to the development kubernetes cluster (!), e.g our developers cost more in servers than our whole production setup. So what - should we go back to a monolith running locally then?
Why use Elixir and not Go or Rust then if it's only performance you care about, Go has great concurrency and better general performance.
Isn't this just business?

I think the businesses that receive complaints that they saw 'tits' with their commercial is pretty large. 'Cardboard nudity' or not. ( if they ever see it ofc)
> They use it because they genuinely see Taiwan as 'that other part of China' that needs to be unified with the People's Republic of China, despite having been a sovereign democracy for over 70 years.

Taiwan's official name is the Republic of China, so the folks I've heard use the "mainland" qualifier aren't saying "there are two parts of China" but rather that there are two countries that call themselves "China".
