‘Payola Is Illegal’: Lawsuit Revives Pay-for-Play Accusations in Radio Industry
They make a bunch of money off you, but they don't receive that money from you. The customer is the one you receive money from.

"You're not a customer" isn't BS, it's a fact. Time to realise: You (and I) are the product.
> Every piece of electronics today uses transistors originally patented by BL

And understanding quantum mechanics really enabled transistors, so the folks making the transistor didn't really do anything fundamental. Oh, and calculus in mathematics enabled understanding of quantum mechanics really, so all the physicist did was put a bunch of math symbols together, mathematics is the real innovation here — you see where I'm going with this?
Indeed. All the forums I've used don't need JS to function.
Your reading of the author's intent is generous, but since neither of us can read minds, we'll just have to disagree about intent here. It's clear from the rest of the linked study, however, that Fauci and Walensky did not overstep---the disparity in severe disease between the vaccinated and unvaccinated was large (2 vs 106). Coupled with clinical knowledge about the link between severe disease and death (a very high correlation, people with mild covid were not simply dropping dead), and the lack of any link between the vaccine and death, they were on solid ground to say the vaccine protected against death. No one expected the vaccine to cure cancer or prevent suicide, they expected it to prevent death by Covid. And it has.
You kid but it's been done for $20,000...

I've been using tg for several years and I don't have a problem with spam.
If you practice common sense and stay out of the giant public groups where anything goes you never have a problem. I'm in over 100 groups and interact with nearly 1000 people but I'm only in groups containing friends of friends so spam/scam doesn't happen.

Once that's out of the way, tg is light-years ahead of whatsapp (their most closely aligned competition) in terms of features and speed of upgrades and api openness. Whatsapp is the inferior product, where again I'm only in groups with people I know, but where as recently as this morning I got another spam from a Thailand number pretending to have texted a "wrong number" to get me to interact.
Oh thats a good idea never though of that. It's got a really simple json backend api where you can request users and stuff, and feeds will follow shortly, it's all built just need documentation.

https://endpoint.hey.cafe/api/conversation_info?query=utdtls...
SysV-RC handles all that apart from socket activation, which is the job of inetd. This is all before systemd.

I must say that now it has more features and the configuration format, while could be simpler, is way better than sysvrc magic comments. I'd suggest it should be XML with a simple config file equivalent for simple cases, as the subtree update in YAML-like is a hell anyway.
Only lichess.org. It will only notify you if your opponent in an ongoing game makes a move while you're not looking.
Very nice work indeed.
Trying to hash to specific values explains how some direct-to-video stuff was created. The motivation certainly wasn't quality.
I believe it's actually called Gurupa, and named after the island on the Amazon just downriver of the delta. The only place I know that refers to the area as Garupa is Selfridge's survey at https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading... — and even so inconsistently.
I was wondering the same thing. One factor might be the variation in propagation speed, which is visible for example due to winds near low pressure systems.
> in my experience it could be incredibly hard to get that money spent when it's needed, and I've seen companies throw expensive software engineering time at optimizing software when it would have been much cheaper to solve the problem with hardware.

That's true with owning your hardware, but what about renting from Hetzner/OVH/etc? You get servers set up in minutes unless you have a very specific request (the only time I've had lead time with these providers is when I had a very custom request, a machine with 300+ TB of storage - yes that is not a typo). Everything else has been delivered pretty much instantly.

But even if let's say you have a very specific use-case such as needing a 300TB server that would typically require lead-time, well in that case the prices are so cheap that you can just keep it around all the time sitting mostly unused and still come out ahead compared to cloud pricing.
I do, for one website - Basecamp. I've disabled email notifications and get my alerts via the browser.
Congratulations Panic team! That's really great. I remember how exciting it was to first purchase Coda back in '07 or '08. Hopefully Nova works out as an equally awesome solution for those using Mac OS.
The unsaid thing here is Linux is largely not used by sysadmin/unix types. Devops has driven this bloat so that people new to the field can just not have to learn any fundamentals about the OS they're building their tools on. For rapid "move fast and break things" VC nonsense, this is a great match. For efficiency, correctness, and long-term maintainability and security, it's a nightmare.
That is the one down side I built the entire thing as one JS block, so without JS there is absolutely nothing, but it also includes no external JS or anything, it's just inline and it's got no tracking or analytics at all on the client end.

I've had a theory that a lot of what's broken on the Internet today is a combination of a very large scale of communication and constant influx of new people.

Does weird things when most of the people you are talking to are strangers. I think humans brains are built for villages, for relatively stable relationships. Instead you see a stranger write something, you reply what you think, someone else replies to you, you reply to them. Whether you are agreeing or disagreeing, but there's not a lot of actual conversation, just... reactions. HN has a very nice tone, but I recognize like 3-4 names and couldn't tell you if the person I agree with today was the person I thought was an idiot yesterday.

I think for example the most successful communities on Reddit are either mega-obscure, so that there are very few newcomers, or very strictly moderated (e.g. /r/weightroom) in a way that maintains the culture. Everything else is is more or less a dumpster fire.

Dunno if you've thought anything along these lines.
In general case you would be right -- Spring does complicate things by hiding some of the actual references.

But reality is that most projects use very simple dependency injection rules. Most use just singleton beans and occasionally profiles for different environments (mostly to access external components like databases or APIs) and that is practically the extent of the problem.

Spring is flexible on paper. In reality (and very fortunately for me), most projects follow the examples and conventions you can find on the Internet. Which makes pretty much every Spring application look like any other Spring app, even if they don't have to.

By giving defined, recognisable structure to the application, Spring actually makes part of work easier. When I see controllers, repositories, services, etc., I usually know what I can expect.

Problems start when you find a project written by "smart" developers. These people are smart enough to write very complex structures and "customise" their Spring experience, but not smart enough to figure out they should separate app development from satisfying their intellectual curiosity.
The original (1996 era) tech stack at Amazon wasn't related to anything anyone would use today. When we built the site, there was no such thing as a webstack. PHP did exist, but neither Shel nor myself were familiar enough with it to even consider it as a candidate. We were building an entire system from scratch, with zero off-the-shelf components other than:

* Berkeley DB (the original bibliographic database)
* Oracle (the original customer database)
* Netscape (the original web server)

Even the first two were not really used as-is; Shel convinced Margo to add some mmap-related extensions to bdb to suit what we were doing, and rather than using any Oracle technology in a visible way, I wrote an entire wrapper for their APIs that looked like sscanf(). We were not just writing a website, but the entire ordering system, from the web front end all the way to the back-office/warehouse stuff, as well as financial management, customer support and content management. There were no tools for any of this stuff; when we looked at existing online sales software, it always assumed that the company would have things on the shelves, which was more or less the opposite of Amazon's early corporate strategy, and was such a deep assumption (e.g. if it is not in stock and we don't know when it is arriving, the user is actively dissuaded from buying it) that we could not just buy this sort of thing.

Because Shel and I were both Unix heads (neither of us had ever used Windows), and also both Emacs users, we encouraged the use of a Unix-y ecosystem in the early days. We had no interest in providing support in-house to Windows users, so a lot of the very early back-office infrastructure included various Unix-centric tools, including Emacs. Similarly, the very early versions of invoice/shipping label printing used LaTeX, but I moved away from that even before I left in Feb 1996.

I find that most (notably) younger web developers have a very difficult time understanding why we would have done things the way we did back then, because they essentially cannot conceive of a world more or less completely without any of the tools they are used to thinking of. For most of the initial development, for example, we were not even willing to use cookies (or at least rely on them).

The stuff we created was fast (extremely fast) but not scalable (because none of us anticipated the scalability requirements that would be faced within such a short time). Almost certainly faster on a per-request level than anything on the site today, but also massively simpler and completely unable to be distributed.

Computing the value would be a problem but determining which is bigger is purely a CS question (just one that cannot be solved directly with our usual floating point tool: IEEE 754 arithmetic).

> I participate in with NFTs no different than I participate with badges on gamified applications

badges on apps are released by the app itself, they have value because a central authority emits them.

> If an artist was releasing a work digitally that I liked, I would consider purchasing the NFT version as well. so of those categories the answer is yes.

give the money yo the artisti directly, so they don't have to pay a fee to the (useless) platform minting the (useless) NFT

pay them to send you an email if you need proof of ownership
I didn't check if you implemented it but making sure Atom is in the mix for good support in RSS readers would be a fantastic add.
And those freed slaves themselves practiced slavery, and capturing female sex-slaves in warfare was explicitly permitted by Moses. The Old Testament also contains numerous laws and customs about the treatment and adjudication of slaves, no outright condemnation.

And the New Testament, Paul tells slaves in Ephesians to be loyal to their masters, and in Colossians, for slave masters to treat their slaves fairly. 1 Peter 2:18 even tells slaves to obey their masters when they're abusive.

Neither Jews nor Christians saw slavery as fundamentally evil, rather they saw the relationship of master to slave as simply a reflection of humanity's relationship to God. Man was made in the image of God, and man was to God as a slave was to their master - something metaphorically touched upon numerous times in the New Testament.

The ethics of the Bible are a product of the time and culture in which any part of it was devised, so it not being explicitly anti-slavery isn't surprising. Concepts like universal human equality (Kings and nobles not having divine right) and slavery being objectively evil are progressive, post-Biblical ideals.
Maybe they just have provided more detailed data? Then again, Norway has a very rugged coast which is used a lot.

This is nonsense. Please educate yourself a bit on systems automation in general if you think this is the case.
Very fair takes. I could certainly imagine elements being pulled in. For example things like alpha zero are to my understanding already coupling things like tree searches to neural nets. I sort of expect that any general solution would include some of that, but symbolic approaches seem to consistently do worse despite lots of people thinking they won't and plenty of money to be made. I think part of the problem is that what we want with AI is to interface with humans, and humans are using something fuzzy to understand the world so trying to model that rigidly will be hard
Making space to love the hate, rage, shame, etc... is not easy and takes conscious effort. What about all the times when your attention is busy with something else?
Security updates are automatic. I haven’t touched my physical servers (not even via ssh) in 6 months. The only reason I did it then was that we moved an app from Node to Go, so I was able to completely remove Node from those servers (which felt great). I think people overestimate how hard it is to run a server.
> printing presses,

The arrival of mechanical movable type printing in Europe in the Renaissance introduced the era of mass communication, which permanently altered the structure of society. - Wiki

> photocopiers

A primary obstacle associated with the pre-xerographic copying technologies was the high cost of supplies: a Verifax print required supplies costing US$0.15 in 1969, while a Xerox print could be made for $0.03 including paper and labor. - Wiki

> Not at massive global scales. Not at negligible costs. Not with complete impunity. Not in a way that was accessible to everyone.

You're trying to split hairs to justify a belief here. It doesn't seem like you're making a compelling case by stringing together conditions that you think are unique to the modern day.
Every Eastern and Central European country joined NATO because of their fear of Russian aggression. Every former Pact country switched sides not to repeat history of being commandeered by Russia. That whole alliance was born to protect members from Russia. The simplest explanation is no one wants to be occupied by Russia so that Russia does not feel “threatened”.
I don't think we've got to the point where AI can repair a car. Humans are more complicated by a decent factor.

If you want to get really fancy run uBlock in browser + NextDNS + block the IP's of all commonly known DNS on your router firewall. Then make sure everything (browsers, networking hardware, mobile devices) is doing DoH or DoT to NextDNS.

This way smart devices and apps cannot hardcode an IP for encrypted DNS to get around your DNS settings.

I got enough to be able to not work for 10 years, and stayed home to raise my daughter. That was worth far more to me than the US$5B or so my stock would have been worth today, or the even larger valuation had I not left after 14 months. It's been a good life, and I'm infinitely prouder of Ardour than anything I ever did at Amazon.
Of course one would like to see the data broken down more granularly.

That said, nothing we know about how vaccines or the immune system works should lead us to believe someone is more susceptible to a disease immediately after being vaccinated.

Although, if we're already talking about "people straight up agains these vaccines", then it's pretty evident they already don't give two shits about the science and it's just some weird sociopolitical agenda or conspiracy theory.
Good idea, I did add a comment to the top of the page that will take them back but I think adding a dummy comment and new conversation field is a good idea.
Some suggestions: add an index or search engine to find existing cafes if there isn't one already. Also, provide a more terse way of navigating posts that isn't basically a single item fill the whole screen. (Something I like about HN and old reddit is that it's easy to navigate a lot of content because you can fit a lot of things on your screen at once.)
I said curious not dismissive. When people don't communicate like you it doesn't mean their ideas are bad.
This made me chuckle. Man, what a time capsule:

> Germany and Japan no longer romanticize and idolize revolutionary violence and nationalism

There's plenty of idolization of it in Germany still, with the prevalent myth of a "clean" Wermacht. Often the proponents of the myth end up unwittingly parroting transparent Nazi-era propaganda about the supposed heroic deeds of whatever random, obscure German military figure.
You may have missed the point. Although fractions may have infinite representations, the question of which sum of fractions is larger is a much easier problem to solve:

"On the other hand, comparing the sums of fractions is pretty easy, because division is nice and well behaved. So the question is how complicated square roots are."
It has them, actually; legends are printed on the front of the keycaps. Here's a picture: https://kuritakey.zone/next-non-adb-keyboard-aae/

Appreciate the negativity though!
The global warming argument is pretty tired. I don't see the same commentators applying their concern for global warming over wasteful pointless """""AI"""" or virtually any other kind of computer work. This essay also reeks of producing a surface level argument without diving in further to actual use cases. Many criticized the early internet for its original uses without seeing the bigger picture. You can sit back on twitter and laugh at people who by all means seem to be having a lot of fun and call them stupid for investing in NFTs but part of the price they are paying is inclusion. Similar to people that blow large amounts of money no beanie babies, magic cards, hello kitty goods and whatever else.
Love the ideas from this company, not a fan of the UI of Hey or Hey.Cafe. It is verbatim Twitter, rounded corners, giant fonts, lots of negative space, exactly opposite of what I gravitate towards. It is...I don't know how to explain it, garish and flimsy. I understand this is a problem with me and I don't mean to dilute the effort. I am very much impressed by the concepts and ideas from Hey. Kudos.
This is my thought as well. How do you then design for small communities for the web is the hard part.

Yes, adding to my list a compact mode, and a search is on the explore area, but I plan to move that to the header with drop down feedback as you type.
This makes it much less like a traditional forum. That changes things, as I now would have to trust the JS, to run it in my browser on my machine. The parent comment merely states a fact and expresses their disappointment. That is not something to downvote. Maybe the JS crown is a bit too allergic here? It is a perfectly valid concern and would be a reason for me as well to not use it, unless I took a lot of time to check the JS source. Even then, the JS might change over time. I would have to read all of it again and again to really be sure nothing nefarious is going on.

Service restart has been a solved problem in UNIX for over 40 years. It is called inetd. It is not perfect, and it was originally created for a slightly different operating model, but it does restart crashed «services». They are, in fact, called daemons. Shell scripts are for manual service starts, stops and restarts (when the daemon does not support a restart on SIGHUP), they are not meant for the automated service restarts.

Different UNIX systems have gone on to replace inetd to address specific shortcomings of the inetd model with launchd, service management facility, systemd, SAM, but the service restart is not an innovation that systemd has brought along. It is a further, fine-grained, improvement over a decade old concept and a tool + ecosystem that has implemented the concept (inetd + rc scripts).

I have been using the HP Elitebooks provided by my company and works well with Ubuntu. No complaints. I even upgraded my RAM to 64 GB.
This resonates with me.

I think technology has vastly outpaced the biological capacity of humans to interact effectively.

We're built for small communities. Tribes, clans, villages, whatever you want to call it. We've technologically advanced to the point where we can interact with the majority of humans on the planet in near real time, but... most of those interactions are driven not by connection, but by just projecting our thoughts onto a symbol we create.

The problem is that the cloud alone will not allow you to scale infinitely. Slapping a standard DB-based application on the cloud will not magically make it scalable. RDS will still be a bottleneck and can't be scaled online for example (Aurora might change that, but that's a very recent development).

Making your application scalable is a significant effort that may involve different trade-offs. Your typical Prestashop or Magento e-commerce site will still max out the DB and go down, cloud or not, but with the cloud you'll end up with a huge bill in addition to your downtime.

Engineering your application to be scalable is an option that's often not made for cost/time to market reasons which is fine, but in this case the cloud will give you much less scalability than a lot of people believe.
