There was a great comment a while back that I can't find now along the lines of "Hacker News might not have people screaming obscenities at each other but it turns out of you dress things up in polite words you can get away with saying some truly awful things here". And, while I trust the moderation here, they are invariably drawn towards the more obvious examples of toxic behavior, making it very easy for people to continue to advocate for trans erasure, genocide, repealing disability rights, etc. all under the banner of civil, "rational" conversation.
There's no economics in which blue hydrogen is cheaper than green hydrogen.

So it's basically just good old fashioned lies.
Reddit hiring engineers for Crypto team working on “moonshot” project
Maybe that's because they haven't built a profile of you to give you better targeted ads?
Product sells itself outside of enterprise though. I'm just saying that it is possible to have a product that sells itself, and reaches great success without having to have salespeople.

Maybe Word and Excel aren't the best examples, but I don't doubt they could have succeeded if they only gave it away to EDUs and had a base plan for consumers and a self-service enterprise plan. Microsoft had a foothold in desktop market so pushing Office and getting users to use it was easy. And once you try it, it does sell itself.

But I think Trello, Craigslist and Wikipedia are great product examples. You need not have a sales team to scale everything.

You can achieve that with a great product, great customer support, digital marketing and word of mouth.
>Upvotes do not mean the contents of the posts are legitimate or not shilling.

I increasingly think that upvote/downvote culture is the worst thing to happen to the internet and the world at large.

The problem is I don't have an alternative solution to propose.

Your comment is spot-on in my opinion though - I usually start with Reddit results, but try to check against other sources before relying on it.
One can easily cut the zip-tie, search and re-zip it again, right?

Another coding font, thank goodness! I was getting nervous, because it took more than 24 hours since the last one was announced.
Looking at this, the actually useful information is still heavily obscured and hides in the same "userAgent" string - the "Firefox/97.0" at the end. One would expect this information to be in appName, appCodeName and appVersion by semantics - but those fields are useless, arguably misleading, with "Netscape" having seized to exist a long time ago.
Alpine Linux, sacc and cgnml as Gopher/Gemini clients. CWM+Urxvt as the only X interface, because Gemini uses Unicode and the framebuffer support is not that complete. Alpine should be installed with a diskless/RAM mode, so there are no FS changes commited unless you do an "lbu commit -d".

Once you set up sacc, cgnml, and nsxiv for pictures, (and maybe moc for music) there's nothing much more to save.

On hw basis, maybe an RPI B+ with a tiny display. Done.
> I become less concerned about truths and more about people, about what they say and why they say it.

But, but... but ¡¿¡¿por qué no los dos?!?! You can be concerned about people, and even learn to let harmless and irrelevant untruths slide, without in any way diminishing your concern for things that might actually have important consequences. When I see people like the OP advocating for HN users to be less analytical or less critical about things (and there are many of them in places like Twitter), it's really hard to tell whether they're taking that difference seriously.
I'm not sure it's possible to not be in anyone's tribe. People are automatically in the same tribe as others in terms of age, income, social class, gender, race, nationality, education, religious and political affiliations, and not all of these can be hidden.
Even if he misses things, I think it sets the tone.

This is awesome. I've been abusing Zapier for years now as a middle layer to integrate with 3rd parties without having to implement their APIs. Zapier's UI is built for non-technical users, anad it makes a lot of advanced use cases very cumbersome to implement.. Super excited to try reimplementing some of our more complicated zaps with this!

Are you all planning to implement as extensive of a collection of integrations as Zapier has?
This is true, but you're forgetting that the sign (ie. pairing of an expression and its meaning) is arbitrary. There's no particular reason that the sound 'cow' (or the squiggles c-o-w when we write) refers to cows, and you can see that quite clearly by the fact that it only does so in one out of the Earth's 6-7000 current languages.

Note that this doesn't mean that relationships between words are arbitrary, they are of course highly systematic, else language wouldn't work. It also doesn't mean that language doesn't have history, the changes are also systematic. But if you take a random surface form (sound or writing), there is absolutely no way to relate it with any certainty to any content without a context that allows you to infer it.
In the Netherlands, 36 hour workweeks (many workers doing the 4x9 set up), is becoming more normal. I'm in the financial sector and all of the large banks have a 36 hour workweek.
Pretty much every manufacturer is constrained by cell supply. If you can only sell a smaller amount of cars due to supply issues, then you need to make it up by offering premium models. Only once the supply constraints relieve will someone like ford, GM or Tesla start making cheaper cars.
The context here was the highest bid / lowest ask. The context was not orders deep in the order book. If your order is the best order available in the book, anyone can just take it, and you will not have any time to move your order before a trade is executed.

This is exactly right. Search for "Seven" on Google and duck duck go. For the average user Google hits it out of the park. 100% useful info with FAQs, where to watch and trailer. DDG is a mess and less than 20% of info is useful.

Gemini and Gopher/Usenet/IRC would perfectly work under "dataless" phone connections where the speed is capped to 128k. I tried it and it worked as fast as a fiber connection.
Please point out one person in power who suggests selectively applying voter ID laws in a state. If this discussion weren't partisan, your concern would simply translate to: "voter ID laws make sense; let's make sure the laws are written and enforced fairly", and not, "we can't do voter ID laws because it's possible to be unfair with them!"

It's possible to be unfair with every law, and every law will have disparate impact. What a silly argument to make!
That's true and a lot of sites are running on outdated (read very old) WP versions.
I find it amusing that even though I find more "organic" results on reddit, reddit's own search isn't great IMO, so I find myself often googling site:reddit.com inurl:<subreddit> followed by the search query I'd have preferred to enter by its own.
this is the direction i've been wanting Netlify to go in for years! Netlify has done very well as an aggregator of frontend developers, and GraphQL is the perfect protocol to 1) build better tooling, which onegraph has a lot of ideas on, 2) commoditize their complements (https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/06/12/strategy-letter-v/).

i hope more updates keep coming (i want explorer in the UI! not the CLI!) but this is a positive start.
I've always wished there were different travel sites for non-whites, or at least different sections on travel sites addressing specific issues. Black people can travel somewhere that seems wonderful on wikivoyage, and find out that it's the opposite for them.

You seem to only be able to find out about that kind of thing through personal networks. In my experience if black people have a really good time in a country, they tell everyone else they know, and that country/city probably gets a sudden boost in tourism.

later: hadn't checked in a while, it tentatively looks like travelnoire.com might be what I was asking for.

edit: also melanintravel.com
I like Qt a lot but the licensing drama was always a challenge. It seems they removed the most onerous part which required a subscription license in perpetuity as long as you were distributing the application. It seems now you can still distribute your application with an expired license which is much more reasonable!
The primary issue would be the domain name which, unlike computing power, keeps going up in price. Once you solve that static site hosting is available basically anywhere from Neocities to GitHub and Codeberg Pages.

TLDR: Delay at this point is mostly regulatory (environmental study approvals) to launch out of Boca Chica. If they have to move to the Cape, then there will be delays.
I just default trust Wirecutter for everything these days. I know they might not be optimal - there's probably a better alternative for my specific usecase if I spent the time on it but I'd rather just let them make the decision on trivial things.
Nice! Mind if I ask whether it improved conversion to paid and what was the impact to your CAC?
i think it's less the case that "Google is dying" and more the case that the open and decentralized internet is dying. all the good content is moving into miniature walled gardens, behind paywalls, behind authwalls and deep inside apps where you can't change the font size on your smartphone. increasingly all that's left out in the public are these SEO'd craptastic advertorials.
There's a reason why it seems shocking that Google has been able to balance the ads well enough that people still use it. They haven't! Google has orchestrated a monopoly over search engine distribution that allows them to get away with search results that are dominated by ads and spam, without losing most consumers.

Let's be blunt here - almost no consumer consciously chooses to use Google search anymore. Google has a distribution monopoly through Android, its deal with Apple on iOS and MacOS, and on desktop through Chrome.

I'm working on a search engine startup. It is in all practical senses impossible for an iPhone or Mac user to change their search engine to a new search engine on Safari or at the iOS level. And despite being technically possible on desktop with Chrome, it is for all practical purposes beyond what any typical consumer can easily do.

Their monopoly over distribution - not search result quality - is what keeps consumers searching Google and clicking ads.
Yeah I agree. Roughly a decade or so back, the Vostro line was the best Linux-friendly Dell you could get without an OS, and it was buried under a maze of navigation.

A friend who worked at Dell had to look up the SKU link on some internal system and send it to me.
Unrelated but while we're on this topic, people should also remember Alan Greene's gold talk [0] about cutting the umbilical-cord and how (not doing) it can save so many kids quite literally "for free".I don't want to sound insensitive here, and i somewhat smell that stem-cell treatment(s) will somewhat be used for "anti-aging" therapeutics for the well-off higher-class if they're not already;But before that we should still keep in mind that we can help kids or those people in need with serious conditions.I see people act disgusted by it, eat it, or other crazy sh1t, but it has an evolutionary role we cannot gloss over.

Reddit also - in my opinon - actively enables shilling and botposting. Why do they have an API?

A forum that's meant to be 100% about humans talking to humans doesn't need an API, so why does it expose one?

Also the model of user-created and user-moderated subreddits actively enables the creation of shill accounts. It's trivial to create a subreddit and use it to farm karma with a ton of bots. If you can keep real users from ever entering your walled garden of a subreddit (of which there are many) your bots will never be detected until you wipe their comment history and set them loose on the rest of the site.

> how can we build an internet that’s hostile to advertisers?

You have to reify "trust" into concrete, computer-representable data. Maybe borrow the "web of trust" concept from PGP, but do some sort of multiplicative thing where the amount you trust someone's recommendation online is the product of the trust relationships between you and the recommender. That's really the best you can do - even legislation against online advertising will be subverted by companies that go through layers of proxies to buy influence.
You have a reasonable basis.

But, I do not find it compelling given my own experiences and how online discourse does influence me.

The big win was recognizing that and then taking an active role in managing it toward what I see as better, or good.
Focus on people skills.

@galaxyLogic: you're right - we don't really need private static as well except for the single nifty/dubious feature that a private static method can't affect member variables of the class (which is useful for thread safety guarantees).

The only reason the recommendation isn't as strong for private static is that the scope of the "virulent" recursive refactor is limited to the class within which this method was located. If there wasn't a public static method calling this private static one, the refactor ends there.

Personally, I recommend against both public static and private static (I think they produce needless work) however only public static meets the bar for a style guide.
> how can I verify that?

Write and ask them. GDPR requires that users can retrieve all stored information associated to their profile/person. Most large internet companies have this functionality.
If #4 is expanded to "Be charismatic and social", that would cover #6 and #7. I think #5 and #8 are part of #3, being in the right geographic location is definitely part of being the prevailing tribe, and so is having up-to-date tech skills.

Come to think of it, #2, being easy to work with, can be subsumed into being charismatic and social without much loss.

No, many more times than that. Maybe 6 months or a year of reaching out. I try to be very generous in this regard. Often times it takes many "investments" for the tactic to pay off.
GPT-3 does not understand language like you and I do with reference to the world. It has no senses, so it is not possible for it to do so. It is also to my knowledge not able to translate anything, so even if we were able to make it "learn" Harrappan writing from these seals, it would not be able to generate English text from them, because the information required to do so does not exist.

To reply to your other comment, rabbit and rocks would occur in different contexts, but you have no way of knowing which is which. You can get numbers, probabilities and mutual information scores and vectors and what have you, but if you can't ground them in anything, you have no way of getting to meaning, and therefore no way of translating.

You do you man, but this idea of "I get paid to code, and I only do enough emotional labor to get my code merged and not get dinged on perf reviews," leads to a lot of the issues I have with working in big tech, personally. Maybe that's just me though.

Poorly!
SLS is just Space Shuttle boosters, tanks, and engines in a new configuration.

Falcon Heavy is just Falcon 9s in a new configuration.

Now that Starship's shell is assembled, it looks 90% done. Which means there's only 90% hidden work left to do.

The devil's always in the details. (BTW I'm a fan of all these rockets—ad astra per redundantiam.)

It’s not a business critique at all; it’s just always a little sad to see awesome tools built that only work for the dominant player in the space. Just another few inches in the moat which makes it harder for an new startup to compete.

It may make total sense and be the most rational choice for your business, it’s just unfortunate various systems have made this the case

This. I don't get it either. In my view, the "no way, it must work" is a non-optimal but perfectly valid conversation starter (please explain me why not if I'm wrong). As long as that's not the whole conversation (which would mean there are way worse problems than lack of explicit inquiry in that response) and there's at some sort of follow-up from either party, I don't really see the problem here.

(Disclaimer: I'm explicitly not thinking up circumstances, tone, gestures or anything else not included in that short snippet. Obviously. It's well possible same exact words spoken in different contexts or with different tone or body language may have quite opposite meanings.)

Yes, there are better responses. But it's definitely not a "well, that sucks and you're wrong, go try some more" either.
A major problem with search degradation is that lots of content is behind walled gardens now: apps, instant messaging/chat and video platforms that aren't as indexable like social video platforms, YouTube is pretty good about metadata to index. More content is behind paywalls.

Less and less is being written in blogs, sites and publicly indexable content.

Subscriptions are why I'm torn on the whole Apple Payment system.

On one hand, I disagree with the lost of liberty, the inability to install what I want without Apple approving everything (and taking a huge cut).

On the other hand, I've had so many subscriptions that I forgot, or that make it "hard"to unsubscribe.

That's why I now try to subscribe through Apple whenever I can so that I can have a single view of my subscriptions, when there trial end, etc.
Same experience. What's even more mystifying is that often it is for items that no human would be likely to be buying many copies of in a short span of time (high ticket items, or items where you probably don't need more than one).
The main reason is that Microsoft enabled it by default for IE, therefore defeating the whole point of the opt-in flag. If websites didn't want to track all users they just wouldn't have added the tracking, however opting out a small number of users may make sense.

Biggest downside is that the DNT header is 1 more bit of fingerprinting surface.

That being said there are still some sites that support it, mostly smaller sites. For example if you set it when you visit by blog I skip loading analytics. I like analytics because it is interesting to see what posts are popular and who is referring me traffic, but I am more than happy to opt out the users who are against it.
wow. There are 5 men for every woman on Tinder. I wonder what kind of ratio there would be at this app, I imagine young male conservatives outnumber female consertives by a huge number.

We have a funny situation in Poland with dating apps. The government banned abortion which massively pissed young women. Two conservative parties got a heat and some time ago about one third of profiles had in there bio, that if you support those parties you can swipe left (dont contact them). Basically having a sex strike on conservative people, altough not coordinated
Especially for tech communities. I literally stopped following tech people on Twitter because it was a different drama every week. I learnt more about drama than I did about tech which was why I was following them. I stopped using some reddit subreddits because it was so toxic that it wasn't worth being part of.
I've noticed myself doing this in the last year or so. I've done it all my life, I'm sure, but it's the first time I really recognized the behavior. I wish I had caught it sooner because it definitely comes across as rude and a bit condescending.

I think for so many of us, we desire to be correct, or to correct people or the world, so much that we miss out on the true "signal" someone is sending us with their message. In this case, the author's dad wanting help in getting into programming.

I don't know if it's 100% true, but for me it feels like correcting people is partly wanting validation that I'm smart or know things. It's sort of performative, and can be very selfish.
Oh yeah, I know about that. I meant to intentionally release only part of the key specifically to make brute-forcing easier for your heirs. I mean, hey, they gotta work for it, you just give them a leg up! :)
Yes. Your software doesn't exist in isolation; you have users. Your #1 goal is not to make your software ideologically perfect. Your #1 goal is to make your software useful to its users. Sometimes you have to break things, yes, but these events should be strongly justified and impossible in practice to avoid. Bumping a version number in a user-agent string doesn't rise to that level.
But 'disgrace'?
> I was not on Twitter before the explosion of woke culture, but every now and then I go to read without an account and there's a lot of verbal violence

Wait, what?! "verbal violence" - I thought you were the defender of freedom of speech? Have we switched and you're now the woke-ist snowflake who is scared of words?

I'm sure you're aware that the next bit is practically the defintion of the slippery-slope fallacy. Given that we have:

* Brazil - Bolsonaro (not woke)
* USA - Trump (not woke) until recently and the house likely to turn to the GoP (not woke) soon
* UK - Boris Johnson (about as woke as Rip Van Winkle)
* Russia - Putin (about as woke as Trump)

I dont think that we're in dange of falling into some Woke World Order anytime soon!

Can you give one soitary example (preferably your best) of a "woke" law being passed, please?

Isn't this attack one's motive, which is arguably the most deteriorating thought process? Chinese even has a saying, 杀人诛心，roughly means attacking one's motive is worse than killing the person.

To me personally, one's motive is not even important unless I'm strategizing some move. All I care about is what this person says makes sense or not.
