On larger platforms, the ratio is probably far closer to 90%, 9.85%, 0.15%.

I've seen this ratio at Google+[1] and again on a recently-shuttered Diaspora instance (520 MUAs of 350k total profiles).

There's a very strong power law between the number of presentations of content and the number of accounts reaching that level.

Facebook sees ~5 billion-with-a-b "pieces" of content (I'm presuming these are posts, comments, images, or videos, though given other engagement-inflation, might and quite possibly do also include likes or reshares), per day. The top daily shares ... are typically in the millions-to-tens-of-millions range.[2] This is also typical of any winner-takes-all metric and follows from the inherent limits of population attention and time. Social media seems to occupy ~45 minutes/day for many people, and if you start dividing out 2,700 seconds among messages, there are only so many messages a typical person can read or view in a day: 10 is 270s (4.5 minutes) each, 100 is 27 seconds, 1,000 is 2.7 seconds. I suspect for most people, the number is in the 10--50 range.

It's not so much whether or not you want to be a producer or consumer. It's whether or not the channel is providing relevant, useful, accurate, and actionable information. For the most part, social media probably doesn't.

> Fracking leaks methanol, salts and other compounds into ground water. Operations often contaminate water from leaky pits with diesel and other compounds.

No, the evidence from peer reviewed studies show that this does not occur often. You are presenting this as though fracking leads to ground water contamination. That is simply not the case. Agriculture and urban activities are much bigger sources of contamination.

This recent review says:
“ A perceived risk, that fracking chemicals may migrate from the 0.5- to 3-km depth of injection to upper shallow aquifers used for water supply, is not considered to be significant (90, 91). The lack of baseline data on aquifer conditions is cited as a major limitation to the detection and attribution of the impacts (90–92). Wide variations in methane concentrations in groundwater are noted in areas with intensive gas production as well as in areas with limited activity.”

One the one hand, it's a sad day for Russians whoes only outlook on the world was the Internet, as this seems to be one of the main connectivity providers.

On the other hand, I really have a hard time believing that they exited because of the moral aspect. I'm suspecting that there is more to the story.

They cite heightened security risks. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was also economic issues (i e. they would no longer be paid for their services).

I would genuinely like to see a more educated guess on the matter.
>IMO, this war has demonstrated where power really lies. And that is in the hands of the people.

I think what's huge right now is soft power. Public relations and propaganda. Social media to form groups and opinions. I'm linking a Russian example here but I'm sure there's many others.

I've never talked to someone who was worried about 100 watts give or take in a desktop. The 100 watt difference, if you ran 24/7 is about 26 cents a day. A laptop would be a different story, of course, but these aren't laptops.

As for the footprint, it's usually not enough of a concern at the desktop to double or triple the price to go from a standard mini ATX down to a double height Mac Mini, but I'm sure there are some locations where that would be a concern.

"it's not something in our plan right now." Which means it's coming.

Given the large amount of money Netflix has had to borrow to grow their library they will need to hike their monthly fees . Given this, they will also have to do something about the growing discontent with high fees. Which means, they will start to do what all other services are doing. They will split the service into two tiers, advertising vs no advertising. I have no doubt they are thinking about it and are planning on how to do it. They will frame the advertising tier as a way to help their subscribers. It will probably happen with the next price hike.

They should just start talking about it so people get used to the idea. Business is business. If you can't pay your bills then you can't continue to exist. Hiking fees are just part of what you need to do as an on going business.
Don't give them any ideas! Actually I can see that being funny as an easter egg in CS or something.

Also, speaking as someone who wears glasses and has a bit of astigmatism, flares/haloes around lights aren't necessarily stupid or unrealistic (although the classic TV camera lens flare, admittedly not so defensible).

No, that's not how it works and not an indication of failure of democracy.

Europe does have democracy deficit particularly at the EU level but this is not that.

On a side point, RT is usually not that bad as far as propaganda goes, though some speakers/shows are bad.

I'm not sure that they are actually having much effect in the West. If anything, Tucker Carlson is singlehandedly more responsible for flushing out odd and inconsistent views about Russia than anything (the angle changes daily). RT is just not influential.

We agree. I used pretend and imaginary as words to describe things being not inherently true. Like there isn't some inherent reason that we can infer from the laws of the universe that driving on the right or left hand side of the road is better. We just picked one way and ran with it. Adults are just big kids making up the rules as we go along, etc.
So your opinion is that you want it. My opinion is I don't. HDMI is much more limiting.

Say that you're a manufacturer trying to keep an eye towards wants new vs supporting what's old, what decisions do you make to support new and retro without increasing the costs? At some point, having backseat decision makers giving input results in the car designed by Homer.

Of all of the things I've personally railed on Apple about in the past as well as others, their most recent HW offerings have been a great compromise. They've brought back some USB-A, SD card reader, HDMI, etc. They realized they've gone too far in certain areas, but some how they had a come to Jeebus meeting that reigned them back in.
depends on the religion/cult.
Either that or you make the legal argument that your freedom of religion ends at the tip of my nose. Seeing as the larger the group of unvaccinated get, the more danger we are all in, I don't think that would be a difficult argument to make.

Yes, good luck with that Mr. Kim-Il Putin. You have a nice armoured train where you can hang out with your future buddies in armoured trains because that's where everything is headed.

The RMB is 100% a creation of Xi, the bank is mostly independent but it's 100% open to whatever Xi wants at any time. Both USD and Euro have their issues (the former worse than the latter), they are still out of political control and usable everywhere.

It's going to be really funny trying to predict the RUB/RMB trade because it's going to be like watching the moods of a couple 'frenemy leaders' stare each other down and will have less to do with underlying economics.

Because both currencies are politicised, they will be in a kind of permanent 'trade war' over the value off the paper they are sending each other. A lop-sided one at that.

Looks very interesting, but per HN norms I have a bit of a tangential question.

Is there a service which will remove medical debt which is beyond the statute of limitations?

This is a simple process to do manually. I have done it myself.

Look up my credit report, find old[0] medical debt, find the originating state's statute of limitations on medical debt, dispute the charge citing the appropriate statute.

Poof, medical debt gone. Credit improved.

This is so simple, unless regulations prevent this service, it must already exist, correct?

[0] Meaning of "old" varies by US State. CA=4yrs, FL=5yrs
It's quite easy to replace the battery yourself. You can buy a kit with a battery and all tools, follow the included instructions, watch a video tutorial if you need.
It also has an RTX 3090 level GPU, which costs over $3000. Taking this into account, it isn't that expensive comparatively.
I think 429 is the preferred status code for this. Of course you can use whatever you want, but 503 can presumably come up in other scenarios and it's nice to have something unambiguous.
so you think that the companies couldn't price gouge until their were a certain threshold of news articles mentioning inflation, that's your theory? They were waiting to do this?

No idea why he doesn't have https enabled, but he probably knows it is disabled and explicitly wants it that way. He has covered plenty of technical SEO topics, but is more of a commentary on the industry now. I'd probably filter out the politics, but a good majority of the marketing/advertising content is spot on.
Why not! Hulu has been pretty good so far with having 2 plans:

- 1 cheap, with ads

- 1 more premium, no ads

It lets everyone vote with their wallet.
Apple Arcade actually has some great stuff. Even all the rebadged "+" games are much improved since Apple forbids IAP in Arcade. The game play loops have been redesigned to actually be fun. Thumper+, Winding Worlds, and What the Golf are some of my favorites.
This is the kind of website I like to open when on a crowded commuter train for people to glance over my shoulder.
Ads negatively affect how viewers reflect on their watch experience, and as long as you have potential customers out there who've never tried Netflix before, you want to make sure they get the best experience.

Netflix is smart to put off the day as long as possible, but it's definitely a matter of time. I have to imagine the pull of ads is huge.
How much little cores and HT contribute at this workload tho? If I say turn them off, could I claim the opposite, losing even 20% but using 40% less threads?
> Paired with the fact it's not much faster in practice than epoll in a large majority of usecases

It just takes significant development effort to take advantage of io_uring's unique ability to coalesce many SQEs into a single syscall. I'd argue a minority of use cases involve a single syscall per logical work slice, not the majority. But most programs aren't yet written to exploit it, not for lack of potential benefit.

There's similarity to SIMD extensions in this regard, but wide batching of syscalls is arguably far more generally applicable than SIMD instructions.

When you make a low-effort conversion of an epoll-utilizing program to io_uring, it's similar to plugging some SIMD intrinsics into your existing program without actually refactoring anything to profitably go wide and avoid continuously converting to/from the wide types. You'll find it's either no faster or even slower than before, but that doesn't mean SIMD can't make the application faster, it just takes some proper doing.

It took years for SIMD to become well utilized once C compilers added intrinsics exposing them to programmers. I expect a similar delay before userspace evolves to exploit io_uring, and we could really use better language-level constructs to make writing such async code more ergonomic.
Neither does the ‘vaccine’.

Maybe a few years from now that might work when they find out it does cause long-term health issues. Two new studies showing the spike does enter liver cells in vitro. An older study found the same, and it was ignored, and slighted by social media and government stooges. Will you be afraid if cancer rates triple in all populations of the vaccinated in 5 to 7 years? this is my fear. I had COVID, and I have natural immunity. My current wife and my younger kids did not get vaccinated due to having recovered from COVID. My older kids got COVID along with us, but both decided to get vaccinated to attend university. There are no long-term safety studies. There can't be. The vaccine is not old enough. I hope it all goes away, but I will never trust the likes of Big Pharma when they are making $38bn each year pushing a "one size fis all" regimen on all age and risk groups. If you are not diabetic, obese, over 65, or have other immuno-compromising conditions, you are not at as much risk as an obese, diabetic twenty-something with a BMI of 40 or over. And the 5-11 year-old vax is only 12% effective after 30 days. How they hell can they push it on ads and everywhere preying on parents' fears with good conscience? It's criminal.

True, but that's assuming my audience is the people I'm replying to!
The difference is that the geographical boundaries of nations are (to a large extent) found, not made. So the lines of defense run along natural ones. If you're talking about building one on the internet you're talking effectively about creating the equivalent of the Chinese firewall.

The inter-net as the name suggests is a network, not a perimeter and runs across boundaries. If you want Trump's border wall on the internet you're talking about handing the government sole access and control to all information going in and out.

That's way beyond cyber defense of private business. And looking at some countries engaging in this right now you better be careful what you ask for.
Would you settle for 16 insane high perf cores instead?

A person referring to themselves using a common slur does not mean they want others to refer to them as that.
It has a limit. A lot of these regimes needs the west to point at them as bad agents and bad cultures. In full silence you're only left with cult of personality .. it might dry off quickly.
My thoughts exactly, that's not what a CFO does. They'll add the numbers up at the end of the quarter, but they don't make the decisions on how money is spent or earned.
The Constitution says that the president is commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Commanders have been ordering their subordinates to get vaccines going all the way back to George Washington and it's unprecedented for courts to question the power of the president to do that. It's no more of an infringement than ordering an officer into battle when their is a nonzero risk of being killed is. It's part of what he signed up for.

In the past, soldiers who didn't want to accept a required vaccine were removed from service.

I've stuck with Netflix for a long time, even through months where I never streamed with them, to support their zero-ad stance.

Autoplaying trailers peeved me, but I stuck with them anyways.

The day I have to watch an ad to view something in their library will be the day I cancel and cease all good will I feel for them.

This seems like such a negligent short-term-profit-maximizing error to even discuss publicly.

The war minus the human pain and suffering is like watching a live chess match. Main players being what I mentioned in the title and then rest of the world on standby with " cleverly worded press conferences". What I can't figure out are;

1)How is Ukraine (inspiring) able to fight Russia - superpower and hangon for this long?

2)How are they able to predict and shoot down Russian jets with precision ? Unless it is us haha fighting on their behalf and with the jets painted with Ukrainian flags? I know... It's crazy thought but..

3)And why would the president of Belarus whom aligns with Russia make a "supposedly mistake as he briefed his generals"about the next country for invasion - Moldova should Russia win the battle?

4)And why during the third peace talk, Russia had five people at the table and Ukraine four? Is it to show dominance? So very interesting to say the least.

The question is who makes a serious mistake at a time like this when they trying to win? Nobody. So why?

One of the rules of chess is to attack the king by focusing on his escape squares and Ukraine is doing it well unless ahemmm...........

Am I making sense or am I a crazy woman? Thanks for answering and please have a good rest of our week.
Oof, this is a very antiquated idea of a CFO's involvement. I've worked for a few and more often than not, they're on the front line with every decision.
Right, and in times where price controls were imposed this principle (you can't force people to operate at a loss, but you can limit price gouging) have been applied.
If Netflix gives me the choice of either watching ads or paying an extra $5/month, I'll pay the extra $5/month.

If they pull the garbage that Hulu does where they advertise in big letters "NO ADS!" and then in the fine print say "Some content may still have ads", then I will cancel that shit and return to pirating.
