Enjoyed this greatly! I have an important distinction in my mind about travel for work and travel for fun/vacation. In 2021 I was just a few days short of 300 nights in a hotel. I enjoy the little experiences while being on the road more than anything else I did. The brief odd insight of a short conversation with a stranger you will never see again. Understanding of the parts of this world you lack any control over, and finding out how quickly you can blame yourself for them. Meeting a hurricane survior who is a few states away from 'home' and then being told in such a calm and stoic manner, they lost everything they owned. And a feeling of dejavu you meet someone months later, living out of a hotel for the same reason.

Its brutally humbling if you let the portions of vanity and purpose you cling on fall by the wayside.

It's real actual work traveling. I would have a difficult time being excited for a trip anywhere now. Except the excitement my partner, friend, brother, so on.. would feel for the exact reasons this post conveyed, or maybe it is the former.

To travel for work alone, is more isolating than living alone and working a 9-5. It may not be at first, but it is. Yet I would not trade the last six years for anything.

There are two reasonable ways of using twitter

1) on a third party client like Tweetbot which just shows exactly the tweets of those you follow, in order, and nothing else. Nothing promoted, no ads, no trending keywords

2) Not at all

I have no idea why anyone would want to use the official Twitter app or the twitter dot com web site. Once you have used a third party client (which behaves like the original Twitter!) you won’t go back.

Granted, you need an account to use a third party client so the no-login thing is obviously not working there either, but at least you are protected from the constant front end churn in the official clients. This is just one such example.
It wouldn't have happened and they would have all the error report for months if they have it on by default. Which they somehow didn't.

It's funny thinking back now when LTT asked why MKBHD didn't ask for help when he wanted a DAS.
> Technically no

Technically language is very interpretable but in some very simple cases it can be mitigated to the point where it's not a realistic issue. Even your book example isn't simple enough to be completely iron clad in all cases. You can receive a book that matches the criteria you provided (say title) but it's not really the book you were thinking of [0].

For more complex things like contracts and laws you have a lot of reasonably vague points that are up for interpretation. Courts reinterpret laws an contracts all the time, it's (part of) their job. Math is nowhere near as interpretable.

Twitter...official government communications?

You would be better served accessing official government communications via .gov sites. This is their purpose.

If you want official bot communications from troll farms, then Twitter is the best!
Mastodon (https://joinmastodon.org) and the rest of the fediverse (https://www.fediverse.to) are well established if you're looking for a good alternative to Twitter.
I've got 5 years as a full-stack Vue.js/.NET Core/AWS developer and 2 years as penetration tester. I didn't know we were this rare, but it's nice to hear.
As a heuristic, assume that it is never the right question to ask "Is ___ real?"

Asking how it is measured, what kind of effect it has, whether the effects are meaningful, how it can be explained, whether there are more appropriate labels, what kind of alternative explanations exist, etc.

Asking whether something is "real" fails even when talking about fundamental physical phenomena like gravity, math or consciousness. So, this is almost always the wrong question.
An overlooked factor might also be the lack of (habitable) solid surfaces in the cosmos.

There exists an interesting XKCD comic "Surface Area", about a giant patchwork quilt, comprised of all solid surfaces in the Solar System. To visualize that the combined surface area of all solid bodies (in the Solar System) is surprisingly small.

https://xkcd.com/1389

Earth and Venus had a major share on that quilt, and the combined surface areas of all other planets, dwarf planets, big moons and small moons were surprisingly small.
The hunters said 'a tree might fall on you and kill you'? This is supposed to be a nugget of ancient wisdom. Now it turns out it's actually a coconut falling out of the tree? Are you providing this extra information? Or was it somehow implicit in the original telling?

Is it possible that both the original teller, the reteller and you too, are starting from the (unfounded) assumption that the hunters know what they're talking about, and are adapting the facts to fit this assumption?

You don't need to be of legal age to get a debit card, but you do for a credit card, hence why credit cards are often used as age verification.
Yep, I definitely recall numerous incidents of people putting a private key onto a dropbox file, never sharing it with anyone, have 2FA on their accounts (with no unauthorized activity), and then seeing funds disappear.
There's probably a good reason for it but I don't work for the FCC so I couldn't tell you. Iirc TV stations have to do the same thing every hour by showing the station name briefly.
I find the official website ok, assuming you use the option to sort the feed by time rather than algorithmically.

This is the main problem with Matrix for me. If they would just develop a good desktop client, I would be all over it.
Cool. I have a consumer-grade Muse EEG thing. I learned about theta and ADHD links and thought it was probably bullshit. I figured out how to get the raw data with nodejs after years of using their app.

The patterns were jaw-dropping. My graphs were all theta. It's like I'm driving my brain around with the handbrake on. It was pretty startling. I dropped that EEG project after a few hours lol I should get back to it to see if I can change my brainwaves...

Anyways, here's some links to give a cardinal direction on this:

As a Russian, this goes both ways. I really hate how the US tries its damnest to pretend they control the entire planet and meddles with internal politics of other countries, something they have no business even knowing about, all the time. Sovereignty? What sovereignty?
Great for people who use twitter as a market/social research tool.
Thanks!
GeForce Now already works on browsers. It requires Chrome or iOS Safari (I suspect this one was the driving force behind it due to apples app store rules). Just go to https://play.geforcenow.com/ and it shows you what to do...

Right or wrong Twitter has censored at least one government official. It will happen again. The platform has no integrity.
It's also Qt Widgets based, which is even more interesting IMO. Just really, really good engineering that happened here.
How is that?

Only you as a recipient can decrypt the messages, because they are sent e2ee to you.

And this stays true if you use the backup, as only you know that password.

ADHD is absolutely measurable on an EEG (I've seen it done), but asperger is A. not a real current diagnosis and B. is not clearly measurable on an EEG AFAIK. Because of how old of a diagnosis Asperger is, I would have real doubts with one.
I'm surprised the exchange notified the authorities. Are they forced by law?
ServetheHome actually reported the hard drive LTT are using had higher failure rate than others. Even from a consumer hardware perspective. And they were suppose to be enterprise drive.

It is just bad hardware, bad setup and bad everything all cramped together.

How would a Twitter replacement via Nitter tech help here?

The problem is that whoever builds the replacement can just fuck up the user experience any time in the future. Just like Twitter did.
Are China covid numbers accurate? Or is it just counting internally, dealing with it internally, and reporting externally zero cases?

Would it be even desirable to keep your population 100% isolated from a global pandemic while the virus keeps mutating?
When Telegram eventually fails, I expect there to be a Matrix client of similar quality and will just start using it.
With Mastodon, you are still at the mercy of whoever runs the instance you use.

I expect most Mastodon instances will be shorter lived than Twitter. So changing from Twitter to Mastodon seems not like a good deal if I want my posts and the comments and likes I get to stay around.
I should have added smiley faces or something because our exchange was pretty cordial. I cracked up when he told me the coding thing. I knew from years of firsthand experience how easily and badly messing with glasses frames can go lol
I remember getting looks on the train on my commute to work playing Tomb Raider on my Pocket PC. You'd hold the device in landscape and use a combination of onscreen buttons and hardware controls. It behaved very much like the Nintendo Switch but a few years prior to the Nintendo DS (and with a larger screen too).

I loved that device.
I had to get vouched for by two people who moved from mainland China to get a wechat account, then the client took up all my free space so I deleted it.
The sentiment that suspicious applications are best confined in the browser reflects the strong security reputation of modern browsers, which started with Chrome's extensive use of sandboxing more than ten years ago.

Check out "telegram russian block" or "ban" in a search engine, from 2018. I don't want to give any particular resources as you will know better what is better source for you - that was a huge event and most news sources wrote on that, including HN. Russian gov forced a block on so many IP classes that a lot of goverment services stopped working, not to mention whole public clouds. Let me just cherry-pick this hilarious tweet [0].

> Obviously, anyone who says "the current year is 2020" is talking about the Gregorian calendar that everyone is familiar with

Context always matters.

Which is why we have (or should have) Domain Boundaries. Within which we have (or should have) ubiquitous language. And within wich our deliberate assumptions always hold true.

More practical, this is one reason why you want to isolate dependencies behind an anti-corruption layer, or some adapters or whatever architecture to isolate.
It isolates your internal context, where it is fine to assume 2020 is western calendar and not the Thai calendar (where the current year is 2565, and used by some hundred million potential customers). Eventhough the library you use may deal with all those intricacies, within your domain, you deliberately don't.

These problems are solved. Eric Evans wrote a fantastic book (DDD) explaining how it has been solved, 18 years ago. We must keep bringing such problems up. But we should try to avoid inventing solutions again and again.

And we should certainly avoid giving up, and saying this silly, unsolvable or Just Too Hard™.
Writing essay before middle school might be difficult, although dictation is a must too. In France/Switzerland, it's not expected to write long text before middle school, but what I can see, in recent times, be it in math, French or others, kids just need to "fill in the blanks" or worse, check-boxes.
They don't practice writing at all.
>given what this country has done on social media to control foreign elections

What has Russian done that

a) Directly affects the results, such as hacking any system where electronic vote is possible.

b) Any kind of propaganda or lobbying that any other country such as the USA, England or Israel don't also engage to make public opinion more sympathetic to them.
Generally network business are very sticky and companies can do all kind shitty things before users leave.
Fraud is a compelling, obvious use for this technology. Other forms of crime too, from selling drugs, to extracting ransomware payments.
News to me. Company value, dilution, risk, revenue, profit, outlook, etc. have significant weight.
Catching up with a couple of friends recently, it came up that our daughters, all of similar ages, are crazy about watching Encanto and even more keen on the songs. It's perfectly reasonable to have normal movie-criticism opinions about the film, but for the target audience, it's a smash. Another 'Frozen'.

Yup, that makes sense on an individual company basis but - that data is not in the sheet though.
Still, I believe a reflection of the government deeds affects just people – entrepreneurs, projects, etc.

I don't have data for that. I am just sharing my 5 cents here.

People could "freak out" when they hear "it's Russian" without doing any research from their side. I hope it's not happening often. As a Russian ciz this thought disappoints me sometimes and makes me sad (and our Gov deeds too).
I think you could create tests that describe tests that describe a pretty large amount of people in many ways. In the future we maybe have tests that show if you're a morning bird or a night owl.

The society is structured in a way that makes it easier for some types of people to succeed but it doesn't mean that people who doesn't fit that model can't or that it's something wrong with them. That is what I meant by my initial comment but it is clear that it wasn't how people here read it.

Maybe it exists and is a real disorder, perhaps I even have it. I don't care either way and I try not to let it affect me or my life.
In most of the US opening a heliport is incredibly simple; take your parking lot or other land and paint some markings on the ground. Shoot off a letter to the FAA. Done.

That said, rotor-craft are not even required to land at a heliport; they can land anywhere that is safe unless doing so is trespassing or forbidden by a law.

A license auction would only restrict access and stifle competition.
From what I understood of the link there is the "grapheme" which is an intermediary representation between being UTF-8 and being drawn on the screen. Like all possible glyphs have been prerendered. It's not got some simple graphics engine to draw those on the fly.

Couldn't you directly provide an index in the grapheme "cache" ?

Oh I didn't mean to say it was impolite. I just meant the logic in his reasoning isn't really sound. If it was only intended in jest then it's a great conversation maker, but I thought it was worth pointing out the issue with the logic given that the ultimate goal was to apply similar logic to the OP's question.
> the earlier it is learnt the better.

I'm not really sure how much this applies to coding really. There are things like music or drawing or handwork or mathematics where you can refine your skills indefinitely, and starting early does indeed help get your 10000 hours sooner. But in programming it seems to me there is only that much you can learn - and people normally grow their careers by acquiring domain knowledge and/or business skills, not refining their coding.
We only know about the ones that get caught.
I'm with you brother.

If you start to question the morality of who pays your salary, you will soon find that there are very little companies that you would allow yourself to work for. I can think of renewable energies, and not much else.

In truth, I already work for an evil company. All companies I worked for in my long career were morally bankrupt one way or another. I never had any trouble sleeping at night.

If it's not illegal it's fine.
No.

The closer you get to light speed, the less time it seems to you to take getting there. If you could get close to light speed, "only" 100,000+ years would pass back home, never less, but could be any larger amount. At 1/10 light speed, a million years pass back home and almost a million on board.

If you don't get really, really close to light speed, it still takes thousands of years, on board.

Getting close takes way, way more energy than (e.g.) getting to half light speed did, which itself takes unimaginably much; getting to 3/4 takes way more than getting to 1/2.

You probably can't carry enough material to produce that much energy, but everything you encounter on the way is blasting you at a good fraction of lightspeed. Maybe a laser from home can keep providing you energy, but that has to keep working for 100,000+ years. The faster you go, the less energy it can provide; and the farther away you are.
Telegram supports importing stickers from other apps and platforms:

https://core.telegram.org/stickers#importing-stickers-from-o...

In light of that, importing stickers from Telegram to other apps is fair game. Telegram's very brief terms of service* do not forbid users from using Telegram stickers outside of Telegram.

Also, some of these stickers are recycled memes from social media and pop culture, which usually qualify for fair use when used for messaging.

I was then referred to a psychologist who nearly immediately dismissed that one (and confirmed the ADHD with attention tests etc), so you're probably right.
for me, moving = giving up close friends. in my heart I love them but in reality we quickly lose touch because we can no longer do things together. sure I can try to make new friends at the new place but it seems to get harder the older I get and there's a part of me who feels like staying long term in one place for those long term connections is better than lots of acquaintances all over the world

The poster you replied to may have been thinking of US court decisions related to the legality of politicians blocking members of the public, when those politicians are speaking in their official capacity [1][2]. That doesn't quite seem to be the same thing as "the public has a right to access official government communications on social media".

As bad as Twitter is, blogging is essentially dead. Wordpress's free product is garbage that now runs block ads, breaking the flow of content, and Substack is Y Combinator, which to a lot of people is a turn-off given the incubator's historical association with DVFs (domestic violence founders).

Ultimately, the greatest danger to the written word is that, because it is so easily indexed, fascistic employers (pardon the redundancy) can, in a couple of seconds, search everything a target has ever written and find reasons either to reject him (after he has passed an interview) or reduce his offer on evidence of lower leverage. Social media is a fool's game. In ten years or so, the ultimate flex will be not to partcipate.

Twitter somehow survives in spite of this, because (a) it is an unserious format, a fact that lends some plausible deniability, (b) a fraction of people--arguably perversely, but also arguably nobly--enjoy gambling with their reputations, and (c) there is a defeated, demoralized understanding among the young that, given the destruction of the middle-class labor market, not to play the social media game is just as dangerous (it suggests having something to hide) as to play it. So today's savvy young people might tweet a little bit but mostly lurk, or use alternate accounts to post anything that might get serious.
You get efficiency basically for free with C++/Qt, unlike all of the Electron trash that gets pushed out. It's such a selfish way of thinking - "I don't care if my users can use efficient software, I just care about shoehorning Javascript into everything I touch!"
You can do the same with normal linux programs too, mine work fine, but the insistence of pulling apart a program and spread throughout the filesystem is in my opinion misunderstood. Sure, it made sense when it was introduced, for the reasons it was introduced, mainly, that drives were so small that you had to.

There are very very few cases today where your program and it's accompanying files are so large that they cannot be expected to live on only a single disk.
That's probably why the report said only "very likely" and not "has it". Afterwards I went to a psychologist who gave me a report with "Conclusion: ADHD confirmed, ... [lengthy description of my impairment]" and referred me to a psychiatrist.

It wasn't a standard procedure. My mother works at a neurochirurgy-focused hospital clinic and the doctor who measured it basically told her "hold my beer, I can see it", and so I went to see it. It was nice because this doctor also referred me to MRI just to be safe.
I’m maybe the only HN person that prefers the algorithmically sorted Twitter feed on the official site?

I really don’t want to see every post by everyone I follow. I prefer to just see the good stuff and get the hell out. Social media is a horrendous time sink.

In my opinion everyone should be doing all they can to spend less time on there.

What worked for me was to move all the time wasting apps off my phone’s Home Screen.
