VPNs are finicky: they come and go and while usually you can find one that will work, it’s a constant struggle with the GFW because the one you used last month is not working this month. I just relied on my connection at work (a direct line out of China) because everything else was too much trouble.
I deleted my profile a while back after a data leak and I was getting spammed on that email. The cringe factor of continually being "recommended" for crap was pathetic. That was even before the feed and the posts and the inspirational nonsense.

It's performative corporate wankery that HR people love because it lets them think that they're promoting their corporate owner's "triple bottom line" and "social stakeholders" and blah blah blah.

HR thinks that it needs to do this crap to motivate employees, it's like the "newsletters" and "employee of the month" etc.
It's true, although the fact that musk personally said it is still relevant in the sense that he is for whatever reason a major mouthpiece in the crypto space that some people seem to respect.

>information on why they are on it, for how long, and a clear process for challenging being incorrectly placed on the list.

If the answers are anything other than "they were convicted in a court of law by a jury of their peers," "for as long as the judge sentenced them to," and "by appealing to a higher court," then the only thing transparent about the list would be its transparent illegitimacy.

In fact, if people could see the reason they were on it, it would seem less legitimate, because "agent #78 thought you belonged on it and his boss signed off," would serve only to highlight what the justice system abdicated when it allowed it to be set up.

It was a weird feeling when the news started to report on popular YouTube videos and later social media posts. More lately social media TRENDS.

The media landscape has become so strange in the past decade.

The more I think about it, advertising and more abstractly, corporatism, are really to blame.

How many of the “video games are violent and bad” or “Marilyn Manson is the devil” people were there really in 90’s early 2000’s? Starbucks hates Christmas people in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s?

Were they just amplified by the media? Is social media and the internet really to blame or did they just exploit a greedy industry already broken by years of mergers and acquisitions by conglomerates who already weren’t keen on spending on journalism?
I'd like to second this. While I didn't follow Rogan to Spotify, he had an interesting guest every week or two and a guest every weekday.

Considering that most podcasts I listen to release weekly or even less often, that's pretty good.
I don’t think it’s fair to be treated like cattle on domestic airline flights. Nobody does. But just because I’m treated like disposable waste sometimes doesn’t in any way entitle or justify me to endanger or abuse employees or other flyers. As a sibling comment mentioned, flying is an extremely regulated and protected practice that has a lot of rules. And rest assured, if those rules exist, those rules usually exist because someone paid for them in blood before they became a rule.

I’m not a professional flyer by any means - but I have flown many, many miles both domestic in the States and internationally. I can’t say that you didn’t experience that behavior from a flight attendant - I could absolutely see a flight attendant losing their cool with an uncooperative customer like that - but after having flown thousands of hours both domestic and international I can genuinely say that the situation you describe has never happened to me on either the flyer or employee side - so I’m led to conclude that it must be pretty rare.
That just dilutes the definition to the point of being meaningless. You will find very few bookstores with a section devoted to extremist treatises and manifestos. That is not censorship in any conventional sense of the word.

How Rogan manages to publish without fact checking and gets away with it amazes me. His free speech is fine, but falsehoods are not.

> Twice as many people died in the US last year from Heart Disease than from COVID, but I'm pretty sure we don't (yet) ban youtubers who extol the awesomeness of gluttonous fast food in weekly videos.

That's not a useful comparison because death due to heart disease from gluttony has a quite different probability density function than does death due to COVID. The former is wide but not tall, the latter is narrow but tall. The first is a lot easier to deal with than the second when it comes to health care system capacity limits.
At least in the U.S. anyone is allowed to order others off their own property...
You are thinking from the point of recouping the costs, while in reality it works on a simpler premise: profitability.

Suppose you have your Android app. You are thinking about porting that to iOS. So, for you the calculation will go like this: will selling that on App Store be worth it after paying Apple's fee and cost of porting? If the answer is yes, then you proceed to expand your app's market share. You may as well price your app differently, if you think that will sell more.

I don't get what's the big deal. Just unfollow everyone you connect with, disable all notifications, and check it once a week. That's what I do, and I see no "cringe". This way LinkedIn becomes just an "instant" messenger with a job board attached.

You can't eliminate other people's "cringe" but you can shield yourself from it very easily.
Really? I have worse input lag with GFN than with Stadia, in absolutely the same conditions ( mouse+keyboard on laptop over 5GHz WiFi). And I've had a few (2-3) crashes with GFN which have wiped out my unsynchronized progress ( so the whole session), which was a bummer.

Overall both work fine though.
I think that's a good point.

It's highly regulated because the airlines like it that way. For example, the whole "only the person named on the ticket may fly on it and you can't sell it to someone else yourself". That came in after 9/11 because the airlines loved that they could charge fees and not allow people to sell their tickets.

The stated "requirement" was so that they could know who was travelling, but for international travel, that's covered by your passport, and for local travel, by your local ID (driver license etc). Having your "name" on your ticket is just bullshit.

As for the "security sensitive" it's actually "security theatre" that has been in place since 9/11.

Excusing the behavior of the airline is ridiculous. They didn't need to drag this person off the plane, they needed to offer enough to the passengers until enough had accepted their offer so that they could deadhead their staff. That is what is supposed to happen when they need to offload passengers.

Don't excuse their behavior.

How would you remove him?

The airline staff shouldn't have removed him. They should have given up and made increasing large offers of travel vouchers until someone accepted, or they should have found an alternative way to get their staff to Louisville.

At no point should the airline ever have even considered forcibly removing someone so that their staff could fly instead. No matter what happened, the paying customer should have been the priority.

Defending the actions of the airline makes me think you should never run a business.
Yet inevitably, everyone unpopular will get bundled with the terrorists/pedophiles/non-humans according to the relevant in-group.

Peloton stock surges on report Amazon is among potential buyers
Well maybe it should? Perhaps we should prevent airlines from overselling and forcing people off? You've sold the seat. Thats a dine deal. You can negotiate to buy it back sure but I can decline any or all offers.

It's not unreasonable to expect them to plan ahead better. Perhaps they need to have more jumpseats, or force them to displace the highest paying customer first to discourage that kind of planning.

There are many more humane options available when we realize we should be in control of the rules governing their operations, if only this whole shitstorm wasnt massively corrupt.
Exactly, everything needs to be written like friggin dramatic poetry.
He paid for a seat reservation, not the plane. You have no right to disobey orders in the same way you don’t have a right to fly the plane. There is no ambiguity here.
I did make an argument and don't assume anything. The history books are rife with the power of collective action. Cryptocurrency is collective action, as is all of FOSS. Women's rights, minority rights, every election, etc. etc. Even the reactionary 'give away your power' message is collective action (ironically, against collective action).

Clearly it was adjudicated that it was excessive in this United instance by people qualified and knowledgeable of all the factors but that doesn't override that fundamental point that when force is used then injuries are possible and probable.
That situation would end with the cops asking you to leave when asked to do so, and suggesting you pursue civil action to get your ticket money back.

The trespassing is in their jurisdiction to enforce, as it is a crime. Being shorted on a ticket is not in their power to address.

It is bad when you get stuffed by a corporation, but it’s no excuse to break other laws.

Capitalism isn't the same thing as feudalism, though both give preeminence to property rights (in capitalism, the important ones are more likely to be marketable rather than fixed to predefined systems of inheritance.)
If they offered $1000 and an additional seat on the next flight they wouldn’t need to inconvenience anyone, someone would be bound to take the deal. The ordeal that man went through was ridicilous (I think he was a doctor who justifiably needed to get to his practice asap) and this kind of practice needs to be changed.
I think a reasonable portion of the usage is by people concerned about their privacy.

There are plenty of websites that want your private data to view content but you are not yet sure if you want to become a regular user or if they will sell your data.

Most websites just want to give you a great experience or to offer you something that you value and may even pay for in the future. I have signed to plenty of those with my real email address.

On a separate note, Apple's Hide-my-email (and similar) services may reduce the need for these websites in the future.
Looks like the war on terror finally came home to roost.
I lol'ed, because around 2017 is what I called the "sprinkle in some blockchain" era. There was so much FOMO from investors that blockchain was "the next big thing", that an easy way to literally double or triple your valuation was to "sprinkle in some blockchain".

It wasn't like the investors were really even being scammed, because nobody could succinctly articulate why blockchain was better for these particular use cases in the first place. All I ever heard was some marketing speak that sounded like it was from a markov chain generator, but it apparently had the effect of hypnotizing investors so they'd add a few zeros to the end of their checks.
They all seem to be variations on Grimm's "Frog Prince" rewritten by a bot.
The cosmic microwave background makes even deep intergalactic space warmer (3 or 4 K) than the inside of Earth’s best fridges (the best as low as nanoK). 3 or 4 K is easy to achieve using liquid helium cooling, which is presumably why eg. Google’s Sycamore chip operators in that range. But achieving those low temperatures is a regular occurrence in labs all over the world—-you call AirGas or somebody and they deliver a dewar of liquid He.
It's easy to criticize, because it was a bullshit response by both the airline staff and the security staff.

They needed the seats to move their staff operationally. To do that, they needed some passengers to volunteer to not fly. To do so, they needed to offer incentives, not demands.

The airline's problem is that they didn't want to pay enough. So they used force, not only that, they used public security (police) to enforce a private contractual matter (not providing travel, even though the passenger was in complete contractual compliance).

The security staff were briefed, and if not, should have waited until they were. He wasn't "acting strange", he was upset at not travelling as he had paid for, and wasn't been offered a reasonable alternative.

Excusing this behavior is allowing it to continue.
A language that puts some conditions in some contract does not mean it can not be successfully challenged in court.

I’m an extremely laissez-faire person, but we’re talking about publicly-bailed out airlines operating out of publicly-funded airports begging for publicly-maintained law enforcement. I think you might misunderstand who’s trying and failing to invoke “the public” here.
> They feel pretty much interchangeable to me when it comes to graphics.

> The difference is nights and day...and I don't care one bit.

You used these 2 sentences back to back.

Tbh it's just you not caring about graphics whole lot, but can see the difference. To say that they're interchangeable is kinda hilarious because they're objectively better on PC, consoles than on Switch. You, yourself said so and the whole point in this thread was that of "how graphics definitely improved over the last 10 years" and not a subjective opinion of you not caring (which is fine but invalid in this conversation). Also, one can easily notice graphical differences between games that are released now and 10 years ago.

Yes. Ignore the whole post feed, there's no point to that.

But other than that LinkedIn is very valuable, keep your connections, see who knows who, hire people, get hired. It's the only social media (maybe should be called professional media) that I see any value in.
It’s been a a long road but I’m finally at a point where I can definitively sat that this advice is some of the best you can give anyone in or out of tech.

Writing about software I’m building, errors I run into, and situations I get into (and often stumble through) has been huge for my own development and my career (https://vadosware.io).

Doing this has led me to habitually bite off more than I can chew which seems to be the only way to really grow:

- A managed services provider for smaller clouds/infrastructure providers called NimbusWS (https://nimbusws.com), which came out of all my blogging about Hetzner and kubernetes.

- LoginWithHN.com from how often I write about cool stuff on HN that was built for HN

- A salary sharing site for Accountants (https://nomorepizzaparties.com), which came about due to trying and investigating Baserow and NocoDB.

Outside of tech there’s awesome collectives like MoonMusiq (https://moonmusiq.com/), a collaboration of musicians that I was made aware of via HN actually -- its obviously an outlet for people to do these two things, in that order. Make cool shit, share it.
They did intend to offer it when it was sold. Even in this scenario it was well understood that the added United employees were last minute. This is even more cut and dry not fraud than regular overbooking that results in a shortage purely from customer sales.
I don’t think you’re right about that. Source?
And they're on some blacklist preventing them from being hired in some other law enforcement jurisdiction role?
Says the Ranfurlian coming from a country that has a geographic center as its capital instead of the most populous city -.-
> but that doesn't override that fundamental point that when force is used then injuries are possible and probable.

Sure it does. Because force isn't binary, which circles us back directly to where I made this point above. Your logic only makes sense if you treat "force" as binary.
Yes, when asked to leave and you refuse, it becomes trespassing. There are few exemptions to this.
Is this the end of gofundme as a platform for many?
Is the airline staff that caused this in the first place due to their lack of professionalism required to accept consequences?

Are they responsible for their actions that caused an innocent person to suffer both the physical and other injuries for something that he was not responsible?

Stop excusing this nonsense. The force applied was unnecessary, excessive, and unjustified.
