We all have opinions some are valid some are not. In real life we express them at will and in Twitter we are able to do the same. The big difference is the number of people we can speak to at one time. We need to take most people's tweets with a bit of caution since most people just tweet what comes to mind at the time.

Twitter has a place in society but we need to understand that it's mostly people's passing thoughts which can be very wrong.

Keep in mind that we need to be very careful where we get our information from since once an idea get in our thoughts, our mind gets primed with that idea and once you hear it again it becomes more credible. I suspect that's how people end up believing some out of the norm ideas.

I stopped using it since to me it's not worth trying to understand what's true vs what's not at scale. I just don't have the time to figure it out.

Sure, there are well researched opinions but they get polluted after the replies start. Again, people's opinions but who has time to figure them out.
It's not even that, really. Older cars (for the most part) had nothing to update, so it's not like these updates are really taking anything away from the dealers that they were doing before. They are just mad that they aren't able to add a new revenue stream by being the only place to go to get software updates.

We aren't even particularly dependent on slack, but the convenience of a few basic integrations like google calendar make moving to Discord or anything else a non starter.

The integrations, and chat itself needs an open protocol, otherwise it's just going to be more and more of slack in the future.

Well yeah, that issue is a bit contentious - Romania clearly has the older rights (having used that flag since (at least) 1848, but the catch is that when Chad adopted its current flag in 1959, Romania had the communist coat of arms in its flag. My opinion is that Chad should have done its homework and recognized that Romania might someday revert to the old flag. But maybe the francophile Romanians will follow Macron's lead and make the blue in their flags darker too, then they would be at least a little bit easier to tell apart. Not that they are really flown together that often...
A manual page should say what arguments the program takes and how the program works. So it's fine IMO

I agree with you. Do we actually own our cars?

With my phone I can choose to ignore updates. Anyone who has ever owned a computer knows that an update can make something worse. In fact today I was in a discussion about rolling back a BIOS patch.
There should be an easy way to opt out of you're not interested.
> A complaint I've heard from some folks who are junior is that they can't get promoted because their work doesn't fulfill promo criteria. When they ask to be allowed to do work that could get them promoted, they're told they're too junior to do that kind of work. They're generally stuck at their level until they find a manager who believes in their potential enough to give them work that could possibly result in a promo if they did a good job.

One bit of advice I've given many people I've mentored in the past is to not wait to get assigned the "promo project." It's hard for people to object with "your too junior to do that kind of work" when you've shown them a plan that's on par with what a senior engineer would provide. Sometimes, they might do that anyway, but then the problem lies not with getting the right promo project, it lies with not having a manager who will be a partner in developing your career.

I was pondering this recently and I wondered if ones relationship with their father as a small child impacts this effect as well. If as a kid one looked up to their father, literally, and had positive interactions, well that's some pretty deeply ingrained feedback loops there. Yes this is pop psych nonsense, but one does wonder.
Interesting point but I can't say I agree that this is the most meaningful difference.

In a physical world where you claim the government has a monopoly of violence, still bad actors could easily do great harm to me in my day to day interactions. But they don't, it's exceptional.

The reason it's exceptional is first of all because people are generally good. Second of all because the risk/return play is very poor. When you rob people on the streets, there's a significant risk of it blowing up in your face. Or to be arrested. You can get away with it a few times, but it hardly ever ends well.

Being a bad actor is not very rewarding, regardless of the government's take on violence.

Being a bad actor is extremely rewarding in the digital space. The risk is near-zero (if competent) and the returns fantastic. You can easily "rob" thousands of victims in a way you could never pull off in the physical world.

It scales much better, at near zero risk. And to make it worse, digitally there's infinite creative ways to scam somebody, many methods would simply not work in the physical world. Have you ever tried to impersonate somebody physically?

>Would be better on Audible

The whole point of the game is choosing who your character is by making choices? How would that ever work in audiobook form?

For me, the main draw of games like Disco Elysium is the feeling of 'being a character in a world' it creates, which is a very different then how it would feel if it was a book instead.

> In its complaint, the FTC alleged that, since at least 2016, Zoom misled users by touting that it offered “end-to-end, 256-bit encryption” to secure users’ communications, when in fact it provided a lower level of security... In reality, the FTC alleges, Zoom maintained the cryptographic keys that could allow Zoom to access the content of its customers’ meetings, and secured its Zoom Meetings, in part, with a lower level of encryption than promised.

no thanks. I would never install zoom on any of my computers voluntarily.
I know it’s not seen as a professional service, but Discord has great quality video chat (better than Zoom, for example). I don’t know if its privacy/security would hold up for larger companies but we use it in my tiny company with no issues at all.
Maybe he's looking to get a more thoughtful analysis than can be had in the twitter verse. It is a common problem and might be aided by better UI or custom features to encourage better discourse. It's also a question of lifestyle. That being said, I am admittedly out of ideas on this one. Never been a fan of twitter.

Not true.

Generally involuntary manslaughter can be either due to a "unlawful act" or "criminal negligence" and your comment only applies to the former type.
The EU still has to consider how other nations will react to their policies.

Russia and China are still in the 50-100 years ago mentality and will ruthlessly enforce having buffer states between major powers. Sharing a border is simply not in their interests and they would rather destroy Ukraine than allow it to join the EU.

The US would do the same thing. Just think about how much we freaked out over the Cuban Missile Crisis. If China struck a deal with Canada to put a military base in Vancouver, we'd lose our shit, but we act shocked and insulted when Russia does the same.

Slack is up for me...unfortunately.
It really is. I know the mods discourage standard political threads, but I wish they’d rule out even the more interesting ones, because even those are never really interesting or unique discussions. If someone wants political discourse, Reddit exists. It can also be had on Twitter (a) if you’re careful about who you follow (b) with far more interesting and knowledgeable participants. There’s just no value to having those battles here.
Twitter has the highest signal/noise ratio of any social media platform, for me. I've curated it so 1) I don't follow people I know in real life so I don't have to deal with their completely different ways of using Twitter 2) I follow mostly historians, cinephiles, and art accounts 3) I pay for the Twitter Premium service so I can rearrange the UI so as to make it hard to reach the wasteful and noisy "explore" page. I get a stream of illuminating long threads about history, tidbits about films from now and the past, and tons of art from all sorts of time periods. I also block words for topics I don't care for any more such as "Marvel" or garious political figures.

My Twitter posts are just quotes that I post mostly for myself, for the future. The hardly get any likes and I don't care if they do. People-pleasing is a dirty and dangerous business.

If I could get rid of the explore page, I suspect my Instagram would be similar too. I mute most people I know in real life except for a few treasured friends who post fun, wholesome things, who aren't trying to show off or induce fomo. My actual feed is more photographers or people who share art/design stuff. So that's all good stuff.
I kind of want to work for a FAANG just to meet these wizards who make you feel humbled by their technical prowess (I assume that's where they all are?). Everywhere I've worked for so far, the senior people have usually:

a) Been there a long time;

b) Are very knowledgeable about that company and its tech, clients, etc. (see a);

Of course, they're skilled technically too, but not in a "I could never dream of being that smart" kind of way.

Like ok, you made a toy editor that works in your case. Ok.

Good for you, but for me and probably 90% of people, if it can't open large file, can't automcomplete, can't reference XSD schema, can't reference, can't give good overall structure, can't refactor, can't recognize SQL in strings, can't deal with macros, source gens, debugging etc. It's not that useful.
I use Twitter to speak with people I actually know, and a few friends of friends. I don't see any value to being out there trying to get thousands of followers, or following people I don't know just for their "takes".

I think you are missing part of the rest of this thread.

No, the same goes for paywalled links, and HN definitely allows those. Besides that Twitter can be a very good source for things that are happening as we speak with the rest of the web playing catch-up.

> 1. The immediate one which is that, if the canonically accessible article is at a separate link, then this is the link that should be the main article. Not the pay/loginwalled one.

That's not for you to decide. HN favors the original content, for a reason.

> 2. The ethical one: should we as a community be promoting content controlled by a closed platform (and thus endorsing/promoting/requiring subscription to that platform)? There's a reason you don't get facebook stories on HN. Up until now twitter was not closed like facebook, but now it is.

Twitter is still far more open than Facebook. Possibly there will come a time that that is not the case but for now it is. You can still read tweets without being logged in.

There's six hundred million vegetarians in India alone, that's not a few. Still, even if we ignore that, why should anyone not be allowed to lobby against the eating of fish? Speech is free, is it not? To close down such speech would surely be totalitarian.

I also wonder, since you used the word genocide, what word would you use to describe the amount of death wrought on fish? Or the farming of them? Would being brought up solely to be eaten and never to roam free come under your use of totalitarian?

> 'Let them eat candy instead' is not a realistic solution.

Have you thought about letting people eat all kinds of non-meat foods? I enjoyed tempeh on savoury rice tonight. This morning was pumpkin soup with a mixed bean salad. Lunch was very light, just toast with almond butter. All very tasty, healthy, and high in fibre, protein and macro-nutrients.

Regardless, in most instances, vegetable farming produces much higher yields - and thus calories - per unit of farmland than farming animals ever could. It's a more realistic solution than expanding animal farming.
> I hate this stuff. Most of them tend to be irrelevant.

This depends on the context of how you are playing. With Elder Scrolls games, a not-insignificant portion of the players are very interested in discovering the lore, which these letters provide.

The accumulated corpus of Stack Overflow content is probably worth less than you think. There is a lot of outdated code on SO.

It’s a growing issue for the platform as the community prefers to direct people to existing answers, and Google tends to reward older URLs that still attract traffic. The result is that a lot of searchers are learning how things were done years ago, instead of how they are best done now.

Platforms change, APIs change, languages change. That means the “answer” to how to do things changes too.

Imagine asking “what would happen if libraries threw away all their outdated computer books?” Obviously they do, and it’s good for their patrons as long as there are updated books replace them.

If Stack Overflow went away tomorrow, one of the many other places where people can talk about coding would become the go-to place to get answers. A more ephemeral approach to answers would probably be better in the long run.

I suspect the artist comes from the r/antiwork fringe, who would say it's equally creepy to build an apartment in a building you do own.

(I don't know how I feel about all that, really. I don't regard myself as a capitalist drone who thinks that someone like Elon Musk deserves to be richer than a heart surgeon. Jeff Bezos maybe, but, well, suffice it to say I understand the market is not perfect. But I also can't bring myself to think that it's more entitled - in the character-trait sense - to claim ownership to something I built myself, than to claim ownership to the fruit of other people's work, which latter claim is pretty much what the r/antiwork crowd are making. It's a messy argument to say the least...)
> and i doubt GGP comment would be opposed to showing actual porn to children either

It sounds like as if you were trying to accuse me of being some sort of a pedophile, come on. That’s just unnecessary.

I wouldn’t be opposed to my children looking up porn on the internet. Why should I be? All you need to do is pull them aside for a conversation and make sure that they understand what they’re looking at.

Pushing them to do so would be weird, they’ll find it on their own pretty soon anyway.

You should have a normal healthy relationship with your children where you can discuss these things in a constructive manner. Otherwise you might be a bad parent.
"Salvaging a decent future requires keen awareness, quantitative assessment, deliberate preventive action, and—above all—recognition that prevailing assumptions about human identity and destiny have been cruelly misshapen by the profoundly unsustainable trajectory of the last 150 years."

Brilliantly said. I believe a lot of resistance to the idea that our way of life is unsustainable stem from grief that the future that we were "promised" by the last century of media and marketing isn't coming. The first step towards adapting to the imminent collapse of the high-consumption lifestyle due to energy and resource limitations is to process this grief.

Get your tinfoil hat ready:

The Ring Entities are allergic to US diplomatic activity. What is a secure phone call to a US diplomat is a megaton warhead detonation in the conformal De Sitter space occupied by the Ring Entities.

The White House has gone as far as setting up Fake White House https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonexaminer.com/poli... in the hope of dodging the headache rays, but they don’t understand the salient implication of higher dimensional conformity, which is that it’s conformal everywhere.

So we basically stopped making diplomatic secure calls, and Putin gets to do whatever he wants, as a result.

I have also deleted my account several times. Thing is, there is unique and interesting niche content on Twitter. The retrocomputing Twitter community is vibrant and entertaining. I am now trying to get comfortable with nitter.net.
Others have pointed out it is backed up, but if it wasn’t, I suspect it would be less of a loss than you think. Presumably if it shuts down it will have lost relevance, and the data there will have greatly diminished value (like Facebook and dead users, the amount of outdated code on SO grows over time)
It doesn't need to be nearly that complicated. You never need to query every server. The post stays on the server for the poster's country. Every comment attached to that post gets an anonymous number/tag (this already exists). So each post is stored as a post and an associated list of numbers/tags for comments. When rendering, the user's system fetches the post, gets the list of comment numbers, and pulls the comments from the various country-specific servers. The servers in each country take the incoming request and decide whether the data can be sent to the requesting country according to their own local rules/laws. This need not be complicated. It can all be handled as basic HTML stuff.
Also, only the 2nd or 3rd step on the ladder. Most places with 3-5 YOE seniors have Staffs & Principles above them.
Twitter only really clicked for me when I disconnected it from my IRL identity and started using it in a way that more accurately reflects my actual self. I tried to obtain followers explicitly, but I've built up a small number of mutual followers over the years who have things in common with me and presumably like my tweets.

To give you an example of those tweets, I frequently post stuff to the effect of "taking a dump".
