What you're forgetting is the 3D TV aspect of this version of Second Life that will push it over the top. What Second Life was missing is a pair of goggles that you had to wear and a Facebook login.
at the same time, dont take guidance misses literally out of context. many companies habitually sandbag guidance (so they can “beat” guidance every quarter) and then analysts play kremlinology to figure out what the “real” guidance is.
VR has nothing to do with facebook, at least at the moment. Just logging in with your facebook account doesn't mean its suddenly sucking all your life from you and piping it right to facebook. If you enjoy video games, its hands down the best way to game right now.

I’m not the poster, but I’m between 16-19 and seeing the same thing over last 2 years I’ve been almost completely out of social media,

- 0 minutes of facebook

- 0 minutes of Instagram

- 0 minutes of Twitter

- 20 minutes of Telegram per day to catchup on messages

- 10 minutes of Matrix

A few years back the aggregate was easily 10-12 hrs per day (rest were spent watching movies and writing code) . Nowadays my brain automatically will close the sites if I spend more then 2 minutes on them.

But it’s not just social media, I lost my appetite for movies, tv shows too.

Most of this purge was unintentional , however now that it’s done. I’m glad. Other than that I come on HN once or twice a day to have fun and comment and read stuff.

I wouldn’t say HN is more saner then other social media, most of the peers I engaged with in the more popular social media apps were equally as nice, amicable and fun to talk with.

But these days I mostly spend my days reading story books, blogs, write code, make drinks and cook food, and solve fun puzzles that I design.

Who knows, maybe it’ll all change to something else in 2 years again.

I hope you have a lovely day !
> The next question is probably why is it reported as 2x2x100G?

At a certain size you don't want 1x100G in case one link breaks, so for a large company they get 2x100G with each fibre going to a separate router. If one router goes down (planned or unplanned) you don't go offline. So now they probably added a second redundant pair.

They already do. It's called Quest 2. Their 1st version of the "metaverse" is Horizon and Venues, though 3rd parties on meta's platform like VR Chat and RecRoom are also metaverse plays.
I think it'll play out in five to seven years. I'm also in the group that bought a Quest 2 over the holidays and am really, really, really impressed. It's very close to being more than a novel experience. Immersed works well, but because of the res of the headset, you can't actually see any more text than you would on your monitors in real life, the monitors are just bigger. For games, FPSes and driving games seem to be "solved", but almost every other genre still needs work. Basically, if a game genre is normally played first person, it'll work well in VR already. Movies, TV, manga/comics are there too. I'm at the point now where I don't plan on buying another monitor unless I absolutely have to.

I should note that I only play multiplayer experiences with PCVR because I'm afraid of getting banned for whatever reason and having my headset bricked. That's one area I'm worried about, but it's not related to the hardware/technology.

The fraud allegations are bogus (according to wikipedia). "Millikan's experiment as an example of psychological effects in scientific methodology" is in itself a psychological study. Has this wikipedia source been peer reviewed and replicated? This is quibbling about fractions of a percent of the secondary measurement, the primary result being quite obvious quantization of electric charge. And! Ultimately the charge measurement result converged on the result known today within 10 years of his original experiment. That's what immunity looks like.

I'm still going with own-goal. ELINT or countermeasures. Why? Because the constant in this is US embassies not where it's detected. Some Canadians, they're in five-eyes.

The people most likely to have pulsed energy sources are the people who actively explore them. The US actively esplores pulsed energy for offence, for defence and for open ended science. There's sufficient hatred between all players that it's highly unlikely only the US and a few Canadians would be the targets and yet insufficient UK, Australian, NZ or EU sources have stood up and said "me too" even after persisting problems with the FSU and China.

I see no reason to suspect any external threat higher than an own goal.
Oh yes, I totally forgot to bring that up. I think somewhere along the way my goals changed from "collaborative web annotation" (which hypothes.is is the best at out of what's out there) to "discussion aggregator." I think the latter was partially born out of a realization that I'd end up making #YetAnotherDiscussionPlatform. Now I have to figure out how to include hypothes.is annotations into my app lol
If you get a lucky hand in poker, then yes, I would say you were privileged... for that specific hand.

Of course it doesn't matter much if you have privilege for one hand, and that privilege will change relatively fairly between everyone during a session of poker.

This is different though. This is more like playing a game of poker where a single hand lasts your whole life, and you keep reaping the benefits of your lucky draw for your entire life. That is meaningful privilege.

Imagine if instead of getting lucky with having an aptitude for computers, you instead inherited a million dollars when you turned 18.

Would you consider that privilege? It is just luck in the same way as your skills... you just happened to be born into a rich family who gave you money. That is luck, in the same way.

I think that is clearly privilege, and your computer skills are likely to earn you more than a million dollars extra in salary than someone working equally hard in a less lucrative profession.

If you think that inheriting a million dollars isn't privilege, I am curious as to what you think is.

I once tried looking through their archived code base to find when they made that change but couldn't decipher it. It's possible they never showed authors the red background at all.

Yes, murder would be illegal without just cause, but then it doesn't matter what weapon is used, does it? In which case, you're trying to blame the weapon, rather than the person. I agree there should be legal limits on what you can do to someone else's person, but that policy does not require placing unconstitutional limits on gun use.

The last time Firefox tried to migrate to an emerging platform (Boot to Gecko), they abandoned the project. It was forked and found success as KaiOS.

All the replies in here that attempt to deny or reduce this problem are why we're going to lose freedom of speech sooner or later. The people who aren't free speech absolutists are getting sick and tired of shit like this. And the free speech absolutists in one way or another just come off as blaming the victim. You're losing the argument (although not in this particular echo chamber).

I've seen a somewhat surprising amount of bad from Apple FWIW. Uber is kind of this weird snowflake because it grew its eng org way too fast then shed a ton of people in their layoffs.

In my observation, the really good people either climb through the ranks or they leave for non-unicorns (either for some technically interesting / otherwise fulfilling niche like edtech etc, or to create a startup/company of their own)
I'm genuinely curious: why are soda/pop/coke/soft drinks so popular? I've never liked them because they're too sugary, and they represent like empty calories (like I'll gain weight without feeling full) from drinks that aren't hydrating. When purchased in a restaurant, it costs money that could be saved or spent on a side dish. I'd much rather eat candy if I want sugar, or drink cold water if I want to hydrate myself.

I don't say this to condemn these drinks (if people like them that much, they're free to spend money on the little things in life they enjoy), but I'd like to square my experience of not caring for them versus their clear popularity from statistics.
> I have an index with a ton of room. I've tried a quest 2. It all still kind of sucks.

If that's true, why? I'm especially curious about your complaint regarding "very limited freedom of movement" when you claim to have a large physical space for VR. VR has lot of problems, but that is a very strange complaint. Which games or apps did you experience this in?
It kills me that they are pushing and have everyone talking about the worst, most boring uses of VR

I'm guessing what will happen is that this will open enough doors and develop some early talent to go on to something worthwhile
Yep. Plus nowadays people have so many selections and it doesn't really make sense to use assembly for production unless in rare cases.

There are no Native Americans making money from such activities? Looks like you do speak for them after all! You can guarantee that not a single one of them sells dreamcatchers.

Are the number of Indians excoriating Westerners for appropriating yoga "sizable", or not?
With that description, I can't help but think of "the entertainment" from infinite jest.
Try reading a book you find boring, like a book in a foreign language that you kinda understand but only barely (for most Americans this would be something Spanish, maybe something by Isabel Allende). The cognitive load will make you doze off -- at least it works for me.

Also try heavy books like Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. That one's another snoozefest for me.

Sure, but lots of people show up and work hard but only make minimum wage. The privilege is that your hard work earns a lot more money than someone else's hard work.
It’s also simply not possible in any country that doesn’t have an already existing overarching highly authoritarian government that is already feared by the populace.

I joined Reddit around 2007, and my perspective is completely the opposite of yours. Reddit was a place where you could create your own community, and moderate it as you see fit (as long as it's legal). It was a place where people respected free speech, and that you don't have to agree with someone but you'll defend their right to see it.

White supremacy or hate wasn't really a thing on reddit until the past few years. The controversial content on reddit were r/jailbait (which I'd say a majority of the community agreed with; although many did begrudge the shifting of the overton window on 'we host anything that is legal'), but then "social justice" became a thing and a new crowd of redditors seemed to want to de-platform people.

I don't have a time machine, but I suspect if you polled a majority of redditors in 2017 whether they'd support the de-platforming that is happening today, a majority would vehemently disagree.
On searching for “How to remove teams via GPO Windows 11” I was greeted with a lovely well instructed page which basically says: “You need to make a scheduled task that removes teams every day”

Better to use the security features of the system against itself. Deny permissions to the files to everyone (even yourself --- you can create a separate account and assign ownership of the files to it, so it's the only one which can reassign ownership/change permissions) and it'll probably stop. However, I agree that when you need to fight with a system that tries to behave against your will through malware-ish means, it definitely puts into light the question of who it thinks is the real owner.
Hopefully soon Facebook won't even be for young people.
Absolutely. But if Darwin had spent his life drawing pictures and showing them to no one - and if his entire generation did the same - we would not live in the modern world.
> It's funny how Netflix is given credit for their all cash offers

I don't know who does this. I don't. Personally I'd need an all-cash offer to be at least 30% higher than cash + equity. YMMV.

> yet Amazon is dinged for giving the best of both worlds.

Amazon is dinged, at least by me, by having significantly worse benefits including:

1. As noted the 5/15/40/40% vesting schedule. If nothing else, this creates a perverse incentive by the company to fire you before your 3rd year vest;

2. You have to vest your 401k match. Depending on what point in the year you join this will take 2-3 years (it's based on hours). Many in tech don't know what vesting 401k means. It means if you've failed to vest your 401k and you leave or get fired, they take it back;

3. Amazon's 401k match is 50%, which is pretty normal, but only up to 4% of your income, compared to Facebook (7%), Microsoft (6%) and Google (no cap);

4. Implied 15% growth in RSU valuation in offers;

5. From what I understand it, no annual refresh grants.

So what this means is that if you compare a Google offer to an Amazon offer, you'd probably have to discount the Amazon offer by a third.

All of that is actually fine but what really turns me off is the workplace toxicity, implied or actual stack ranking, firing quotas and the perverse incentives that creates (eg hiring ballast employees).

MS also sells the same things in somewhat the same ways from 30 years back.

But their business models are not same at all, nobody is valuing MS at trillions of dollars for its Windows OS licencing business. In the last 20 years MS has diversifyer into gaming and cloud successfull that are a big chunk of its current business and future growth, even with older products like Office they successfully pivoted to O365 and converted it to a recurring revenue stream.

I tell Alexa to "play brown noise" and the droning sound calms my mind in minutes.

Also writing therapy helps -- writing down all the thoughts bothering me and then crumpling it up and chucking it in the trash really helps me let go. There's something about externalizing one's thoughts that helps one let go of them.

This highlights an incentive issue and a paradigm issue in the blockchain space. There is a strong incentive to get new protocols up and running and even though users are technically responsible as they can audit the code, most users, of course, are not qualified to do so, and stand to make more from exploiting any vulnerabilities they find than they are pointing for them out.

The issue of paradigm is just how poorly suited EVM is as a smart contract language. It is too hard to manage the complexity of bytecode with memory managed on chain and in contract code. When small errors have huge consequences and there are no second chances, EVM is and should be pointed out to be one of the worst standards Ethereum has brought to crypto.

When it comes to high stakes programming and especially in a space where new programs are written quickly and often, its almost objectively obvious that functional styles with more guard rails is the better choice. Nothing running on chain needs an infinite loop or many other fancy features one typically expects from a programming language - restrictions and readability in smart contract code are more important to computational chains than seat-belts are to automobiles, but the network effect is slowing the space down.

Edit: Some people have pointed out this was an issue with Solana contracts, which run on Rust - so I was wrong to use this as an example for half of my point, but still believe the point stands. Even Rust IMO is not tied down enough for contract code, but the fact that it can happen on Rust which is loads better then EVM for bug catching I think proves the point a bit more if anything.

The last time I got a tour of the SIX, there were switches on two different floors in the Westin building. This is more for capacity than redundancy. The original location is literally a janitor's closet in a hallway and it's so tight that exhaust fans are built into the door. The second location was in proper four-post racks in a small room. It is possible they have ports on both switches for redundancy but more likely both are on the newer location. The SIX is also built into other buildings and they could connect to more than one, but there is typically only 200G backhaul to the other sites. https://www.seattleix.net/topology

2x100G to an IX are usually connected as separate ports, each with their own assigned IP ont he IX subnet. BGP multipath can enable load balancing across both ports. Otherwise you might have some peers configured on one port and others on the second. These days I like to have all peers on both ports and use BGP multipath.

If both ports are connected to a single switch on the IX side and the same router on the customer side then LACP can be used to combine them into a single 200G port with one IP. This is a less common configuration unless you are doing more than two ports (4x100G as 2x 2x100G lags for example).

There is another consideration: what happens if there is an icmp or arp flood on the IX? It's not supposed to happen but sometimes it does, even on the most major and well-run exchanges. In that case you might want to have all of your IX ports on one of your routers, keeping the other one "clean", just in case your control plane policing doesn't mitigate it.

Different networks place different priority on IX ports. In most cases it's ok if it's down for a short time (traffic will just shift to paid transit) so redundancy is not essential. In other cases it may be too much traffic to reroute so you care more about IX reliability and redundancy.
