Yes, and I think there are two things worth considering.

First, people put their identities into their beliefs. Everything is a lifestyle choice anymore. What non-mainstream belief defines me as a person? When you make believing in the flat earth part of your identity, you get a fight or flight response when someone attacks the idea of the flat earth, because in a way, they are attacking you.

Second, it's easy to confirm your misinformation with more misinformation! I don't think people hear something once, like "the earth is flat" and just believe it. They hear it, look it up, see multiple sources saying the same things (weren't we taught to confirm stuff like this?), sprinkle in the smallest amount of plausibility - maybe a source that otherwise prints stuff you know to be true (sports scores, natural disasters, whatever) also prints something about the flat earth, and there you have it. You've done your homework. At this point admitting you're wrong means you must admit you are ignorant and were so easily duped, or that your entire education was a waste of time. It takes a very big person to do that.
Can you talk about what permissionless innovation means and why it's possible with web3 (and why it's missing from the non web3 world)?

I'm a massive skeptic and I'd like to understand their perspective. Totally agree on all the downsides.
That quote reminds me of the Bo Burnham song “That Funny Feeling.” It would fit nicely alongside lines like “stunning 8k resolution meditation app.”
For those who aren't aware of the dire situation with how badly our Charter of Rights and Freedoms has been unreasonably infringed upon by our government the last 2 years, including not even doing the due process required if they wanted to reasonably infringe upon it - which there is a method to doing so but which then requires public debate which Trudeau loves avoiding as part of his controlling the narrative, please watch Jordan Peterson and Brian Peckford discussing our constitutional crisis, as well as Peckford's filing a lawsuit against the Federal government a few weeks ago:

"Canadian Constitutional Crisis | Brian Peckford | The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast S4: E78" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhFuMDLBDM (1+ million views since it was recorded/published Jan. 26th)

Likewise, you can also go to https://FreeNorthDeclaration.ca - where ~600 Canadian lawyers have signed, including law professors from our top universities including Queen's University - in hopes of educating Canadians that laws are being broken and due process not followed. If Canadian, please read it and ideally sign it if you care about the law.

Trudeau is sounding and acting more and more like Hitler as time goes by [no, I am not comparing him to the full atrocities of the Nazis exterminating as many Jews as he could), and I'm not the only seeing the similarities between Trudeau and Hitler:

"World-famous liberal commentator Bill Maher calls out Trudeau." - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i72czkSUsM - posted to Pierre Poilievre's YouTube account, Pierre who is now running for the Conservative party leadership after O'Toole was recently kicked out [he was incompetent the whole pandemic and why Trudeau had basically no opposition] - and he is likely to win. He's been calling out Trudeau's bullshit for years now in very clearly logical and articulate, grounded manner.
My apologies for being so ignorant on crypto lending, but I'm not even sure where I'd look up the details of how this system works.

When Thomas puts that money into the lending pool, what happens if the borrower defaults? Did the borrower put up some non-liquid collateral? Did someone do a background/credit check? Who takes the loss, is it split across the pool?

I understand how traditional bank loans work, I'm a little lost how much risk is being taken by the loan issuer here.
Confusingly, there are 2 different versions of the Zoom web app:

1. The "Join from Your Browser" links take you to the worse version, which I assume is legacy or something.

2. There is also a progressive web app version [1] that has more feature parity to the desktop app. It has the grid view built-in, but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to show as many people at a time vs the desktop app grid view.

That’s just a more expensive lock with the same effective security. What attack profile would it protect against?

Any thief who wants to go through the trouble to getting TSA master keys can just as easily cut your uniquely serialized lock, exploit or cut the bag, or walk away with the entire bag.

The security of a luggage lock is provided entirely by deterrence. Even with a TSA lock on your luggage, the weakest security link is not the lock’s core.

I'm 100% happy to pay for an ad-free search engine that doesn't sell my data. I don't really like having all my search terms being linked to me via an account, but I suppose that's already happening anyway. I guess I picked the right day to stop looking at clown porn.
Hard to find a business model for a self hosted search engine though.

I think the bigger problem right now is that the pilot scale reactor didn't work. Cf:

https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1534664

>Bench scale experiments made use of an externally heated reactor while pilot scale experiments conducted under this grant used a reactor that was self-heating.

>At the bench scale, oxygen was produced with minimal corrosion of the anode material. At the pilot scale experiments in the self-heated reactor were not able to demonstrate oxygen production at the anode, or the production of iron as measured by tracer dilution. Further work is necessary to elucidate the difference between bench and pilot scale results.

I'm almost happy to see this for the wrong reasons. For the past few months I don't know how many times I've complained about the dire state of Gsearch.

For every single search, I have to consistently scroll one page down to skip ads and product matches ala "google shopping" belt. It's just insane.
>don't talk about cryptocurrencies, no matter if it's good or bad.

Or Covid.
I worked in a steel mill a while back. While I agree it's incorrect, I would say that the average high school student knows next to nothing about making steel.

Here's how we made it: Take pig iron, put it into a Basic Oxygen Furnace. Add flux and inject supersonic oxygen. This removes impurities and carbon from the pig iron turning it into steel. Transfer to a huge crucible. Add any alloying elements, and cast it into slabs using a continuous slab caster.
This seems to be a case of bad journalism.

The irony for me is that Google had a Reddit before Reddit was a thing, it was called Orkut and it was glorious. You could create communities based on whatever the heck you wanted and connect with friends and strangers alike through any twist on any topic you could think of.

But Google being Google, it didn't see the potential because Orkut didn't achieve global dominance (despite being the social media platform in places like Brazil and India at the time). Google's obsession with AI-fying the crap out of its business will likely end up being its downfall now that it's proving to be increasingly ineffective against the SEO-motivated players, who now have an enormously diverse toolkit to game the coveted first SERPs, from black hat to downright paying right into Google's pockets to get their way.
> it looks like that they are only telling me about this 4-5 months after it was discovered internally

My guess is that it took them that long to figure out exactly what happened and then work with the vendor to scrub the data and verify it was scrubbed. They probably also asked the vendor to analyze their logs.

So I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and say this was probably the quickest they could go.
why there needs to be a blockchain involved for this tho? Hard problem is who should pay for what work which a blockchain is not solving
...but please note you’re exactly wrong about baby talk!

But, but... I didn't say anything about baby talk!!

The definition in that Wikipedia page is about something completely different: exaggerating intonation.
That’s why I think reddit, facebook, stack overflow, and others will replace Google at some point. It makes more sense to search through user discussions than a register
Zealot or not he's also a huge asshole, petty, rude, and extremely inconsiderate. I think most people who enjoy dunking on him enjoy it because he's such an unpleasant person.
most americans live insular suburban lives in their bubble and when they get doses of current events they are algorithmically fed confirmation bias and especially confirmation bid that arouses them to click/engage. I.e tabloidizing the cherry picked facts that then framed with the biases that poke the viewers buttons.
The younger generations that have had a lower life expectancy than their parents, have started having kids.
I don't quite get where the author is coming from.

>And on the basics of civic life, that doesn’t seem to be the case. A survey from the Annenberg Public Policy Center found that in 2006, only 33 percent of people could correctly identify the three branches of government. By 2021, that was up to 56 percent. That’s way higher than 33 percent!

Is that really what anyone means about misinformation? I don't think so...

As for say the Joe Rogan examples, are knowing factoids that someone thinks support their other opinions really knowledge, or are they things they just like to gather to support public statements?

Often I get those factoids tossed at me on the internet and even links to pages that someone thinks supports their opinions but if you read 3 paragraphs in clearly doesn't.

That's not being knowledgeable...

In fact celebrating those little factoids seem right up the alley of misinformation where someone announces that "5 men were discovered to be impotent after getting the vaccine!" where that might be true, but the intent of the misinformation is obviously to push something else.
> pick out the pieces of their posts related to the discussion topic and reply to those

100% this. AFAICT, part of where this is coming from is formal debate style, where (IMHO) there's a subtle pressure to address everything the other side said. But in a conversation, you don't have to do that. You can pick up just the parts you want to reply to.
It's also a regular sentence one might type out when asking what $someone means by $something without ever having visited that site.
The "Soviet Gosplan style" projects tend to work for the top 2-3 priorities of the country.

The soviets did well in military power, international sports, and maybe one other thing, while the rest of society stagnated.
There's a lot of people who don't want to admit (to themselves even) they were wrong about Bitcoin 12 years ago and are still grasping onto that belief for dear life. Hoping that it will fail and prove them right all along. See, I was right Bitcoin wasn't worth $10 and is a useless technology!

So the cognitive dissonance is getting worse the bigger crypto gets and the longer it lasts.
Cher once said "I've been rich and I've been poor. Rich is better."

Certainly, all other things being equal, it's generally better to have more resources. But life isn't quite that simple and sometimes the price involved in successfully pursuing money involves a human cost.

If you can have lots of money and also have time for the children and also are a decent person, etc, cool. Some people pull that off.

And some people don't.
Great, now compare this to all the content generated on content farms for selling ads and gaming search engine rankings.
We (as you can see) use Axum. It's new but great. It reuses a lot of the Rust ecosystem (Tokio, Hyper, Tower, Serde, etc), so it keeps on improving even without them changing anything. It also relies on a very strong infrastructure.
> Also, the comment you replied to was explicitly comparing Numba to vectorized Python, so you should not abandon that comparison in your reply without saying so.

The comment you replied to explicitly says "regular python".
> This is it for me exactly.

This is for me exactly too. Search "best XXX for YYY", and I get back two pages of dubious websites that smell like paid ads a mile away.
India is not quite as welcoming to foreigners, from a banking/legal/property-ownership perspective. If you've already met an Indian partner in the West (or are Indian yourself -- but then you'd know this) and are thinking about moving back there as a geoarbitrage play and/or to be with family (in-laws), it could work. I do worry a little about the political climate though. On the one hand, people will go out of their way to be nice to you in a way that doesn't happen in the West. On the other, it's a country where "is an Indian citizen", "looks Indian", and "is Hindu" are not really separate concepts outside of some minority communities. Whether India would work depends on what kind of family you have there, I think. Because in India, family is everything.
I have a couple of years on the author, but he's right. I think it's similar to what happens on reddit or any community that seems to attract the "my IQ is north of 125 and I know it" crowd. I'm guilty of generating some of that toxicity too.

There are still tons of gems on HackerNews and I usually try to limit my interaction to engaging with that content and bypassing the comments altogether. HackerNews is at its best when it's sharing useful content with people and at its absolute worst when you try to engage with that person who's wrong on the internet. Aside from stroking one's own ego there's nothing to gain by engaging with people to try and set them straight.

In sum. Sharing is caring and that asshole on the internet is still wrong.
I'm also surprised there aren't more comments on this. Why does aeronautical engineering require cryptocurrency?
Games are being updated for a lot longer these days.
Do they though? In most of those scenes 99% of the audience is other, less-famous starlets who want to improve their status by being seen in connection <big shot name in the respective industry>. They don't care at all about what the big shot is actually doing or saying.
I agree with the premise - consolidated tech power is bad.

I think the thing the tech giants do really well, and the thing that is valuable to consumers, is they're very good at aggregating the content that we want. There just hasn't been a big "not evil" data aggregator to help us connect with each other.
How is the support in Dell precision line for Linux?

Some models can be preconfigured with Linux, so I assume the support for Linux in precision line is better than in XPS.

But this post from yesterday (mostly criticizing XPS) is discouraging:

They seem to be heavier than XPS laptops (3560 is the lightest).
This is pretty wild. It could actually be useful as a quick and dirty lobby that doesn't require a full server.
There is regularly-updated comparison chart of modern mp3 players/digital audio players (DAP). https://azalush5.hatenablog.com/entry/2022/01/dap-comparison...

I personally find them too expensive and bulky. With not so great software.
My example #1 was a BLM protestor, #2 was at the capital protest.
Probably bad luck, or more likely, your being in a tourist hotspot.

Putting ethical and moral values aside, your average person on the street (in say, Colombo, or any other "normal" area) has no interest in (or potential gain from) directing anyone towards a scam.
Would you be willing to provide an example where this becomes a problem? Probably unpopular opinion, but I don‘t think this should be a problem for structured applications and hints at a more fundamental design problem.
Same here. A long time ago I was running a website for fun, a friend told me I was crazy not to have ads, added ads and started making 4000€/month
I don't think that I am oversimplifying anything.

Why are you conflating freedom of speech, moderation and censorship?

Freedom of speech means the government won't come and arrest you for saying something. That's got nothing to do with wokeness or Twitter.

Twitter (et al) are commercial businesses. They have terms of service and if you don't abide to them you get kicked. It's very simple. You're not paying for it - you're not the customer.

If a pig farm discovers that some pigs have started tail-biting and annoyng the other pigs then they'll take 'em out back. Letting a minority annoy the other pigs, resulting in a less valuable product doesn't benefit them. Twitter users are the pigs, not the supermarket. it's just good business.

I'll defend to the death your right to your freedom of speech even though don't agree with it, but I'm damned if I'm going to lend you a megaphone to express it. Particularly if you're going to, say, deny the holocaust and my granparents were exterminated in it.

And as for the idea that racists are going to stop being racists if theyre not on Twitter for people tell them that they are wrong, well bless your heart.

> now that Trump is banned from Twitter, he is still growing his user base, away, unmoderated, and without the opportunity to discuss

I thought that you were against moderation?

Bloomberg and other news orgs publish bot-assisted articles, for example to summarize financial reports the moment they appear.

Try to close too early and any sensible customer will run away and never talk to you again.

"Always" be closing includes too early as well as too late, after the client has run away and you will gain nothing except to alienate him further.
Also health insurance issues. Most “snowbird” insurance is only cost-effective because they expect to G(you)TFO back to your government insurance if anything happens and discontinue your policy if anything happens. And often any medical condition needs to be stable to qualify in the first place.

I’m aware of a lot of Canadians that look further south to get away every winter to avoid a lot of health and tax related issues.
I believe central bank digital currencies are mostly built on managed block chains because the data structure works well. The Hamilton Project between the Boston bank and MIT Digital Currencies group are looking at two implementations for a digital dollar and one of those is a ‘classical’ centralized blockchain

I read that as those who are going to switch away from x86 to ARM is already a loss for Intel. So RISC-V gives them a way to claw back some of those losses. At the end of the day Intel has always been a foundry and x86 is one way to drive up business for those expensive foundries. RISC-V can be another way to drive business towards Intel if Intel can establish a relationship with RISC-V designers early on.
Yes, of course they do, the alternative milk market is growing fast but most people still go for cow milk if they want milk. That's why grocery stores still devote a ton of space to cow milk.

Always great to see people innovating on email clients, everyone is different and would have they own best way to manage their email for themselves. So any new option is always good.

Out of interest, you have started with Gmail which is understandable but do you have planes to support order email services or even just plain IMAP?

I know Gmail is complicated as it doesn't really do IMAP properly and so it better to use their api, so you have to chose one of the other to start. But I hope you have plans to support IMAP.

Sometimes I wish I were a little more like that. Instead I agonize over wording so I don't sound impolite / stupid and often choose to say nothing, even where my input might be useful. I guess there are worse things.
I like it here but HN can be a bit much, it takes itself way too seriously. To balance/negate the grandiosity and toxicity of HN, it's best to occasionally visit some satire/circlejerk forums specifically about HN (favorites include: n-gate and PCJ). Only then will you get to enjoy the full HN experience, while having a laugh at the unintentionally hilarious/absurd side of it.
Ask HN: Is There a Non-Violent Communication Language Converter?
I've been studying Non-Violent Communication by Marshal Rosenberg and while the concepts are semi-easy to understand / learn, I am struggling with applying them.

This got me thinking - Is there a website / app that you could type / talk into and it would convert your 'normal speak' into a 'NVC speak'?

So I guess 1) is there an existing site that does that?

And 2) if not, man someone should seriously build something like that (I wish I knew where to even begin with this kind of thing...).

Thank you!

> It's weird because they seem like the type of thing you'd want to ban for SPAM/harrassment.

Social networks show their true colors by way of the decisions they make about what to prioritize removal of and what to actively ignore even once they are made clearly aware.

Reddit is growing and their search is unusably bad. It's easier to use google to search for stuff on reddit than to use reddit.
