People seem to invoke the word capitalism whenever things aren't a utopia for everyone involved. Still, even without capitalism, you'll have to contend with the issue of how to cover operational expenses. Say some, more centralized, agent decides YouTube is worthwhile - how would it get paid for? A state sponsorship made possible by a tax of some sort? Perhaps it would transition to be completely pay-to-play?

The employees and servers are expending real energy keeping YouTube operational. Meaning, whether it's through ads, a more centralized body stepping in, or some other less pervasive, opt-in business model - the thing needs to cover its own costs. I don't think a lack of private property would solve much there.
The anti-pattern version of this reminds me of a phrase I can't seem to source, which is, "to question by assertion," which means making assertions with the intent that the listener respond by refuting them. It's a really fast technique to get information (I think I learned it from reporters, prosecutors, or perhaps just my mother), where you assert the contrapositive or a begged question about the thing you want to know, and use the churning brain of the listener parsing it through to yield their view. It's supremely irritating and emotionally abusive to anyone who trusts you, and viewed this way I can see how Socrates got himself whacked, but I'd wonder if this tactic has a name in another discipline. The only effective defense is to blow off the question, set a firm personal boundary where you don't feel obligated to answer any questions at all because they aren't sincere inquiries, and dismiss them as traps.

If only Socrates were alive to have someone "well, actually..." him on the internet.
> I think you are misremembering the Brood War release. It was available for Mac 6 months after the PC release, and the “battle chest”,which contained both StarCraft and brood war, was mac/windows hybrid. The battle chest was by far the biggest seller, too.

Yeah, I think you're right. I was actually thinking about Command and Conquer: Red Alert. According to this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Command_%26_Conquer_me...), the original was released for PC in 1995. Red Alert and the the Mac port of the original were released in 1996. Red Alert was never ported.
Bait and switch. "Look at our more transparent search engine in the academic realm." Gotcha. Look again. Google is not an unbiased search engine. Its ~100% funded by advertising.

Google collects more data about users than it does about the topics that users want to search, all for the ultimate purpose of selling advertising services, and often under the guise of a parallel construction with respect to the purpose of such collection, e.g., "to improve user experience".
True.

I have personally gone off the deep end and started writing 200, 400, and 500 for all my status codes instead of the specific 2xx, 4xx, 5xx ones.

If details of an error response need to be mentioned, it will be in the error response body.

My motivation came from GraphQL as it responds everything with 200s, and so far it has been humming along fine.

True REST are more guidelines if anything.
Someday the bayou might get ‘em but the law never will.
I’m not defending it, simply pointing out glaring holes in your logic
> but not many complained given their visa status. Also, they were actually really grateful to get a developer job that pays ~$40k. They were just regular people.

That’s a typical bodyshop [0]. There’s a good chance some of your “colleagues” were using student visa extensions (that might be fraudulent as well, it’s a well known practice [1] [2]) to gain enough “experience” that they could pass as a specialty occupation and claim H1B status. Or just had this consulting shop file 3-4 applications per seat they planned to fill out so that they could game the quota (kicking out legitimate applicants that aren’t trying to game the system).

Thankfully, the previous administration started issuing more RFEs and catching fraudulent applicants [3].

Destiny 2 has a seasonal pass model at $10 USD per 3 month season. Many of the ways to advance in the game are tied to the season pass so you could say it has a $3/mo subscription. That also doesn't take into account any cosmetics players purchase so there is a fair amount of regularly recurring revenue.
Isn't a huge part of that money going to the actors, not into more typical actual labor?

Games take a lot longer to produce than films (in total, per hour of content that may not be true).

The earliest versions were basically built on top of Myth's engine, Bungie's RTS. It then eventually became a third person shooter, and it was such at the MacWorld announcement. It did turn into an FPS after the Microsoft acquisition.
Why are so many people trying to make triple A games? It just seems like there is too much supply and not enough demand. Don't even most hardcore gamers only play a select few triple A games? And aren't triple A games unpopular with almost all casual and sports gamers?

And most importantly - isn't there the LEAST growth in the hardcore gaming segment?
How can I follow along?
I don't know what Socratic dialogues you've been reading, but if somebody started speaking like they were out of one near me, I'd probably report them for being a replicant.
The one context where I've seen something like this that I thought was interesting was in an online MOOC. Presumably it would be trivial to give your account credentials to someone else in order to have them pass a quiz/test on the platform for you, or to write our essay. They used something similar to match the typing pattern compared to some other sample that had been taken when identity was verified off-band, so then in subsequent submissions of writing samples in the platform, they could have more confidence that it was submitted by the original student.
Perhaps the capital expenditure shouldn't have been made in the first place. Our earth is careening towards an environmental cliff. We don't need people finding more ways emit CO2 into the atmosphere. If people really need the thing they'll find it and word will get around.
That justifies the article, but I can guarantee this discussion is going to be 99% "nuh uh" and "yeah huh" and both will be right, mostly because of the effect in my post. I'm either a mystic who can predict the future, or these discussions all look exactly the same.
SponsorBlock is excellent, too, even gets rid of the multi-minute advertorial segments in the middle of videos.
> The only version of the contract that matters is the most recent one, so we just need a way to track that. In actual practice we don't just revert back to some older version; that doesn't even make sense to someone who understands what we're doing.

I guess public linux distribution repo mirrors can still be http, if you are fine with leaking which packages you are installing.

The packages themselves are signed and checked locally before installing them, so MITM shouldn't be possible. If your local trust is broken, then you lost already.

And you can easily setup caching proxies for the repos, without requiring to setup your own CA.
Well, here's my secret sauce.

I pay you in `me-tokens`. You subscribe to my recurring tokens by opting into my DAO with your wallet address.

CDC backing up this claim. Having an undetectable viral load prevents transmission during sex —- but likely not during needle sharing. The answer to why seems to be an obvious “because there are less virus particles”. I’m linking a couple of scientific studies following couples having condomless sex where one partner is HIV positive, on ART with low viral load. Among the about 2000 couples in these studies there were no transmissions.

"It doesn't help me personally immediately right now," is certainly a take you could have, sure.

Don't get me wrong. I'm extremely skeptical about IoT. I'm an experienced sysadmin, and that means I hate technology. There is a massive legislative need to protect the public from the damage these devices could do to customer rights, and the legislatures we've had for almost as long as I can remember are about as interested in filling that need as they were interested in protecting the worker and the right to unionize in the 19th century. Which is to say, it's more likely that the President will send the Army in to crack skulls than they'd pass a bill to do something right.

But the Digital Revolution doesn't just mean FAANG. It also means the Third Industrial Revolution. That's been going on for 35+ years. It's not new, and it's not going away. IoT will happen because it's simply too good for manufacturing not to do it even if they can't monetize their customers' data. IoT can provide real improvements just like networking computers has. There are unknown gains in efficiency, productivity, and quality of life to be gained here. The Information Age isn't NFTs and tracking cookies all the way down.

> More complex controls for more complex cycles etc? Questionable if this kind of fiddling on e.g. a dishwasher is of any use.

It's just an example, man. I'm not a dishwasher engineer. I don't know what they need to do, let alone to what they are capable of or what they could be used for but aren't because of the current structure.

It's not just about dishwashers either. All modern appliances are digital. What can you make any appliance in your home do with continuous monitoring and re-programmability?

There is no shame in it, different diseases and viruses affect different people differently, because of different behaviors. It does not make Gay people worse, or better. It just means the actions they participate in, as a demographic cohort, is more likely to lead to an HIV infection when normalized for factors against another, non Gay, group.

HIV has always been a huge thing in the gay community, and erasing that or trying to shift from that is an odd form of historical rewriting. Anyone who lived in SF during the HIV epidemic remembers this.
In 14 September 2019, Europe adopted the PSD2 payment standard which require banks and fintech's to integrate two factor authentication solutions. The typing biometrics can be integrated with other 2FA methods, increasing it's use and importance.

PSD2 is the second revision of the Payment Service Directive (PSD, 2007), which is aimed at developing the market for electronic payments in the EU. The different measures highlight the opening for other companies to use banks payment services (Open Banking) and two-factor authentication (2FA) to increase security in transactions and prevent online fraud.

You can find more details about PSD2 here: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/MEMO_1...
My 2004 Ford Escape won't let me lock or unlock the car with the key fob if the engine is running. So I can't warm it up in the morning without either risking it being driven away or having an extra door key for just that purpose. Ugh.
This, I can't disagree with.

But moralistically I'm still at odds with the coddling.
the reader of those rules believes they are true. You are teaching others right now, that they are some kind of true, specifically in a statistical way. This thread is overflowing with examples that counter those game rules.
We're undecided so far. Living in the high cost of housing area is crazy expensive but it would be close to friends and family. Another option is living in another town in another province which would be cheaper but we'd be so far away from everyone.
6th grade math ability is above median for adults.
YES. Every dark pattern in technology today is caused directly or indirectly by advertising. Privacy violations? Advertising. Bloated and unusable websites? Advertising. Addictive social media? Advertising.

Blocking these ads is a moral imperative at this point. I don't feel guilty, I feel proud and I encourage every single person to do it.
The culmination of luxury, reliability, and beautiful stupidity:

The 1991 Chevrolet Suburban with a 5.7L engine and the 700r4 automatic trans. Comfortable, analogue, and great looking. Easily updated with a backup camera, a modern sound system and remote start, etc. Heated seats are possible, as is any luxury you'd want.

Even the engine could be updated to an OBDII compliant LS, and the drivetrain is already as stout as can be. With more modern spring technology, even leaf springs can be made to ride nicely.

There are already companies doing restomods like these and selling them, and I doubt they can keep them in stock.
hmm... you say "flying penis" and it only takes 40 minutes for QDot to show up. I think that means the internet is still working.
This is one downside I will agree is a consequence of tracking technology on the web. There is no way for "genuine" discoverability to hide on the internet anymore. After a while, sites will start noticing that their purchase traffic is coming from Reddit so they'll start targeting it and before you know it, even the bad producers/products are being spammed there.
But it runs in my LAN.
Let’s provide some context, this was on Opie and Anthony years ago which was a pretty toxic show. Do you actually think current JRE episodes are like this?

Yes. Summary in particular is surprisingly mind-expanding.

Also don't forget classifying! Note taking apps for e you to do that, and it can lead to important insights.
I'm currently reading (almost finished, in fact), Roger Penrose's The Road to Reality. Despite having most of a master's in mathematics, I found his comment early on about trying to keep the mathematics accessible to be a bit laughable. Modern mathematics can get abstruse very quickly. It's likely that a typical HN reader could read the abstract of a PhD dissertation in just about any field except mathematics and have an idea of what the dissertation is doing. For mathematics, it's possible that even with a PhD if the dissertation is outside their specialty they might not know what it's about.
I'm absolutely not knowledgeable in the subject so I could not be more accurate. I'm always found of research that offers glimmers of hope for what seems to be a dark future. Happy to hear there is tone of research being done around it!
Oh man, I'm trying to go back into parsing and compilation (and the usual tree/graph processing) right now. This is pr0n material :)
Oddly, I got the Dutch version. I do have Dutch language installed on my phone, but it's definitely not the default. Odd.
I think that's wishful thinking. I might even think this about myself, that I don't care about ads. But they still have some effect I think. Sure, I rarely buy stuff online or anywhere, I just don't shop much, but I still get affected by ads.

Some things about our brain we just can't change: we like things we've seen before. Both brands and people. Recognition makes a big difference, for example in arbitrary choices when shopping.
There are fewer people meaner than a dumb person who thinks they're smart.

There is no first amendment right to have your comment visible on Youtube. In fact, Youtube has the first amendment right to show whatever comments they want. They could even have fake accounts that post positive comments and upvotes, and charge users money for artificial engagement. Google executives could decide that they wanted to support literal Nazis, and promote their videos, add fake likes and engagements, and do the opposite to any opposing political views. This would all be perfectly legal.

We have restricted the constitutional rights of corporations in other cases e.g. utilities, though. And we can do it again.

Not a cure, as that implies recovery from a full infection. It's preventing your body from becoming fully infected.
Might that be evolutionary?

If you’re stupid and can’t provide for yourself pissing others off is a quick way to starve.
Obviously yes, but if you're attempting to add up person hours worked for some project, I don't think you would include the hours spent in say Mac OS.
Interesting to see more people who used to hang out on ##java on Freenode. That channel was horrendous back in the day with uncool admins who took pride in insulting people who were asking normal questions

These days I actually mostly hang out on Facebook Groups discussing interests like photography and music.

I also hang out on tech slack servers and have many Discord servers open. The problem I see with Discord is I join many servers that I never return to but sometimes don't leave due to FOMO :).
Your platform becoming a joke and the only people using it being furries and other such weirdos.

I think the reason it's used here is because the one-on-one was surprisingly effective even when applied outside a typical work environment, just like the original usage was that math was surprisingly useful in understanding natural phenomena:

The funny thing is that the content published for free by the weirdos from the past was 100x better that the ad-driven SEO crap we have today.

Also, a lot of that content still exists but it is hidden behind the SEO garbage.
That's awesome, never thought about it that way. Completely agree.

'should be as common practice as wearing a condom and birth control, yet its existence isn’t even known to many people (especially among straight people).' - not sure if you've seen who HIV effects, but if it especially effected straight people in the west (straight people in africa know full well about it) they would know about it.

A persistent downside of this is that you cannot give everyone the same experience and the cost of doing this might outweigh the commercial benefit. If you find that less than 5% of your users use crappy devices because they aren't broken enough but out of those 5% only 0.1% generate any revenue, you might simply choose to ignore them so you can focus on that 99.9% of other revenue.
Realtime Inequality
A friend of mine bought an old house in a medieval city in Europe. She wanted to make it a hotel, starting renovating and found an antique mosaic on the walls.

She informed the city, archeologists came in and shut the place for a year.

She was curious but could not do anything.

When she finally got her place back, she discovered an artezian spring in the basement but did not tell anybody and had a great source of water.

Such discoveries are not always fun.
Comments on music videos are the absolute worst. It’s 99% the same garbage comments on every video. On the off chance that an original comment is made, karma whores will literally repost it word for word looking for upvotes. (And they’ll get them because the new comments will for some reason often bubble up above the original.)

This inane garbage is way better than the racist garbage that preceded it, though.

I do a lot of unreal engine hobby stuff and hang out in the unreal slackers discord. Tons of different focused text chats and have occasionally hung out in voice chats too. Met people and been in some of their discord. Also same applies to blender.

There are newbie questions but there are also plenty of advanced convo too.

Also out of curiosity what it means to grow a community. I've started with a subreddit called r/StylizedArt

We just about hit 1000 people. Eventually I might add discord. Its been interesting so far.

Your car's automatic climate control system seems terribly designed and not like any one I've ever experienced. The climate control system on my Accord came out in 1996 and it behaved far superior to that. It doesn't just blow max heat/cold until the target temperature, it does a reasonable gradient of temperature differences until its the target temp keeping in mind some kind of comfort profile. This has been the way every other automatic climate control system I've used has behaved, I've never experienced it blasting heat/cold as hard as can be full bore, unless it legitimately needed that to keep up with the losses (having the windows open).

I'm sorry your experiences suck and you have to manually adjust your AC system dozens of times per drive to make your car comfortable. Personally though I see that as a massive step back, not an improvement. Would you mind sharing the make of car so I can be sure to avoid it?

Also, when talking about automatic climate control, do you also have it set to automatic fan speed as well, or just temperature? Maybe your system would perform better if you let it also control the fan speed if you aren't already. For my experiences I pretty much always let directionality, fan speed, and temperature set to be automatically controlled.
> Why exactly did we need to use mRNA tech to crank out new vaccines at the same speed as we did with traditional vaccines?

mRNA tech is a lot newer than "traditional vaccines". I do not expect that the mRNA process is run at the same speed with the same degree of confidence at the same number of facilities. Yet.
