Which is what pissed me off the most about TikTok for the brief period I used it.

They would just show me random shit basically irregardless of date.. and that's not at all what I wanted. I found it to be an new source- of sorts. I'm not saying a good one, but at least it was somewhat interesting to may see peoples perspective on some topic. But what I found is it would just show me stuff that could be months old, days old etc instead of prioritizing like.. top day things.

I haven't used it during the russia/ukraine time.. but I can't imagine how wildly inaccurate of a picture you would get if you are viewing stuff completely out of date order. Yeah they put the date on the video.. but that doesn't really help, everything is still all over the place.

For all Reddit's faults- I can at least go there, take a look at some of the top headlines in some subreddits.. and know if I see something it's recent unless I am looking otherwise.
It may be an assumption, but I think of it as akin to the assumption that Wilbur and Orville Wright had that heavier than air flying craft could become practical. Unproven, but one would be a fool to bet money against it happening on the OP’s “eventually” timeline.
Not to mention even higher bands, like PtP WiFi [1].

Funnily enough, the only way to not get ads on those news apps is by using moded apks (unless you use root or dns adblock, but that usually messes with the layout) . There's no amount of money you could pay to remove them even if you wanted to, so the only way is to download apks that not only remove ads but also make all the articles free without paying anything.

It's crazy because Bloomberg already charges quite a lot (40$/month?) if you don't get a discounted price, how much are they getting with those very generic banner ads? It can't possibly be more than a few cents, maybe a dollar or two per month for casual readers. It's so counterproductive if it makes them lose even just a few % of their subscribers.
I often will say "you there?" or "you busy?"

This means I don't have a single question, it means I want to have a synchronous conversation. There are lots of reasons for the latter. This is what I would prefer people do with me as well, and if I am busy, I feel like I can ignore the message until I have a few minutes to talk (often with voice/phone)

I say this as someone working from home, thousands of miles from most people I work with and also far from most people I communicate with socially online (such as family). I find this approach of "just send a question and they can answer asynchronously" to be one of the reasons that working from home can be damaging to mental health. Natural human interactions, where there can be a real time back and forth, are positive things. Not necessarily always, but especially if I haven't communicated with a person in weeks, I'd much prefer this sort of thing.

If there is a specific topic I want to talk about, that can be expressed in a few words, sure, I'll say that. And if it really is just a simple question that can be answered directly, I'll just ask. But the point is that those are not always the case, and depending on the job each of us has and our relationship, it might be unlikely for that to be the case.
Hi! Thank you for informing us of this potential issue, I really appreciate the good intention behind making us aware of this.

You may not agree, but here is the context on this: We purposefully do not restrict this, and actually do have the code that can restrict (if we want to turn it back on). Anyone can make a free account to Stock Unlock, and have unrestricted access to our whole site (and therefor the "API"). I personally do not mind if someone uses that URL as it's almost trivial to do the same thing with logged in cred/curl.

There may be something I am missing here and if that's the case please call me out on it. Again, thanks! Also, welcome to our "API" lol ^_^
Probably. But owning the CD allows you to re-rip it at some future date if you decide that storage is cheaper than it was 20 years ago and you'd really prefer to have some of your favorite albums in lossless FLAC format than lossy MP3. Or at the very least, maybe a higher quality mp3 than the 128kbps that was the norm during the Napster era.
There are two major problems when comparing these:

1. Israel wasn't formed organically, they first had to get rid of the hundreds of thousands of pesky Palestinians living in Palestine for a few hundred years. The Japanese didn't take over a, say, Chinese island and settle there (though they tried in Manchuria during WWII).

2. None of the other states you mention has anything resembling the ethno-state character of Israel. There is nothing in the Italian constitution that is even slightly aimed at making sure a non-Italian can't become president (even if not explicitly prohibiting it)[0]. Italy doesn't recognize the right of ethnic Italians to automatically become citizens by moving to Italy.

[0] though it's rare, there are well known cases of nation states having presidents of minority ethnicity. For example, right now in the middle of war, the president of Ukraine is himself Jewish. Also right now, Klaus Iohannis, of German ethnicity, is president of Romania. Peru has had an ethnically Japanese president (Alberto Fujimori) and more recently the son of an Austrian immigrant.
I did a lot of taping of movies that were broadcast locally. Lots of documentaries on PBS were many hours long and broadcast over the span of several days, or once a week over the span of several weeks. The only way to see them, for me, was to schedule recording for the entire series.

I had quite a collection of Woody Allen films on VHS only to watch then deteriorate before my eyes. It was sad to see them go.
As a researcher who has (and continues to) use the publicly available census data, I agree with this.

IMO it makes more sense to have higher quality micro level data products that are only available in statistical data centers, https://www.census.gov/about/adrm/fsrdc.html, as opposed to these aggregate tables that even before all this were of variable quality.

This comes with a cost that not everyone can have easy access to the data anymore, but I think that will result in higher quality research in the end (even if less quantity overall).

Apportionment should be done in some standard way as well by states/fed instead of the gerrymandering mess we have now, but unfortunately that is not likely to happen anytime soon.
Yes! I'm with you there. I didn't see it much in IM services, but Reddit is a pro in terms of "Let me post the screenshot of the Tweet instead of linking to it".
Adele had a huge album launch last year, and sold very well on vinyl and CD. That one album may account for the entire growth. Maybe her fanbase are of the right age/demo to enjoy or to be nostalgic for physical media, maybe a lot of copies bought as gifts...
Between that big launch and vinyl pressing plant supply issues (Covid supply chain issues and huge orders for two album releases) people who want the physical object may have moved from vinyl to CD editions.

Anecdotally I pulled my CD collection out of retirement for use in my home office during Covid. There's something about 'putting on' a cd/record that streaming just does not do. A couple of weeks ago I caved and bought a vintage technics record player (late to the bandwagon), the price of vinyl is shocking compared to CD - $30+ for a 28g new release/reissue and quality used records are easily $20+. Feels like when I was a teenager and carefully deciding what I could afford that week/month and then playing it to destruction.

No one should be un-biased about the war crimes being committed by Russians in Ukraine! Where is your humanity?
seems kind of dumb - the author is presupposing what the intent was. Not to mention that it's important to have the other person actually acknowledge a conversation is happening.

how about:

A: Hi!

B: What's up...?

A: Nothing just wanted to say hi!

B: Oh, haha. How's it going?

A: I was just realizing we haven't spoke in forever. Where are you these days?

=====================================================

Let's say people didn't say hi.

Having spent half a decade working in Oil & Gas flow control systems directly, I can confirm that 10 years ago when I left that industry, cyber security was still not even a consideration. Light years behind wasn't an accurate statement - non-existent was more accurate.

Admittedly computer systems have come a long way in ten years, but given the attitudes and technical expertise of a lot of the people I worked alongside, I would say there's a reasonable chance the needle hasn't moved very far.

They're excruciatingly good at getting oil out of the ground and getting it to market, but they're not going to be winning capture the flag at Defcon or Blackhat any time soon...

I did mention the "world has gone crazy" option that the person I replied to seems to believe.

I'd file "CEOs of both Apple and Disney wading into a Florida political battle about sexuality and education by mistake because they didn't bother to read the text of the law they're protesting about" under that same "world has gone crazy" heading. Luckily for us, it seems that it's just Republicans being intentionally vague in order to pass laws that wouldn't pass if they spelled out what they actually mean.

I (politely) summarize this on IRC as: "Had you asked your question to start with, my response would've been your answer."
My managers did this, and I realized it was because people stopped using status icons any more and just appear busy or idle all the time. They didn't want to type a long request unless they had previously established contact.
I also changed to not include the entire request until the person was at least responding in real time, although I always include enough context information in the first message.
The lists are more like an automatic targeting system for your world-saving flame thrower. Both are vital since the slime killed everyone who knew how to use it, so now you have to enlist average people who only use them to clear weeds and snow.

While I like the concept from one angle, on another angle I'm not reading a fucking manual every time I want to talk to someone, it's just not happening. Especially since we know people will just start adding shit to it every time something happens they don't like and we'll end up with pages of interaction rules. No thanks.
I have seen this talking point repeated exactly in this manner all over Reddit. Was this dispatched from one of those Israel apps that navigate supporters to social media sites to push pro-Israel talking points?

What I type: "Yeah, sure, let me look at it. What's up?"
I don't think it's necessarily a neurotypical vs -diverse thing. It's more about social awareness that certain forms of online communication work differently from offline communication and as a consequence, different rules of etiquette apply. Remember "netiquette"?

This podcast explains that fat loss involves two processes: mobilisation (getting fat out of fat cells) and oxidation (burning it off by using its energy). Most exercising and other techniques for fat loss don't adequately focus on mobilisation first, which means you lose very little fat even with lots of exercise. But you can 'fool' your body into accelerating the mobilisation phase in several ways. Anyway, this podcast explains really clearly how you can do it. Give it a try! https://hubermanlab.com/how-to-lose-fat-with-science-based-t...

Depends on the politician. A few years ago, I wrote emails to my US House representative and one of my senators. They didn't come from a template. I wrote a few short paragraphs stating my wish, my reasons, and a bit of praise for something they recently did.

The representative sent back an obvious copy-paste. Could've been the response to any email about the topic, and sounded like a campaign pitch.

The senator (or at least a staffer) replied with reasoning. I didn't agree with the reasoning or conclusion, but somebody definitely read my email and responded specifically to it. I appreciated the respect they showed that way.
Bonus points if the greeting is included in the same message as the inquiry, so as to not be notified multiple times for the same thing.
> They are digital (it's in the name)

CD stands for "compact disc"
> I did not.

You selectively quoted from the law. From your original post: "Classes shouldn't be discussing sexual content in grades K-2." However, the actual text of the law is: "A school district may not encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students"

> If you believe discussing sexual content to kindergarteners is acceptable

This is a huge part of the problem - you're presuming it's just about "sexual" content when it's also about gender identity (they are not related). But the broader point you miss is that "Johnny has two daddies" is inappropriately considered "sexual" by the right-wing in America. And that is a huge issue.

Take a personal example, if you will: my husband is a teacher (and I am a man). If a similar law were to pass in our state, the law as-written would likely preclude him from mentioning anything about me at all to the students, while straight teachers would face no such limitations regarding their relationships. Because some people think any discussion of LGBT people in any capacity is inherently "sexual."

Israel has many laws dictating where you can live and between which areas you can travel, and they depend on its complicated notion of citizenship and nationality. You have far fewer restrictions as a "Jewish nationality, Israeli citizen" than as "any other kind of nationality, Israeli citizen". This is the meaningful difference people are referring to when they say that "Israel is an ethnostate" or talk about "apartheid", because in many instances, in practice you can only do certain basic things like live with your partner if you are a "Jewish nationality, Israeli citizen".

Just to give a short (but relatively surface-level) proof that this distinction is real and meaningful in Israeli politics, you can read the most recent former PM's statements in the following link (and I would encourage reading a broad political spectrum of commentary on the various citizenship and nationality laws, in particular those passed in the last few decades, e.g., Nation-State Law): https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Benjamin-Netanyahu/Netanya...
I think they changed it, but I am guilty of dropping the "EXCLUSIVE" part.

I updated it, thanks!
A sufficiently autonomous vehicle might just ignore you. Are pedal brakes in passenger driven vehicles reliant on computer at all, what about electrical transmission?
I've worked in technology at very large investment banks for quite a while. I've seen the pattern of new software engineers coming in, learning a little bit about finance and suddenly they're day trading equities and equity options. They get lucky or not, but always give it back and more.

Investment banks have literally rooms of people who spend 10 hours per day 6 days per week specializing in whatever security you're thinking of buying or selling. Literally - there are people that have a full time job specializing in out-of-the-money AAPL options with a 6+ month expiration. They also spend millions of dollars per year on proprietary data and software engineers to weaponize that data.

If you're a full time software engineer spending 10 hours per week researching and trading while relying on free/low-cost data, you cannot compete long term with professional traders. It is that simple.
Guess it didn't matter :) Saved myself some annoying request.

Not necessarily. When you've been spending a couple hours per day on a ticket, the ID starts to stay in your head. I can still remember the ID of a couple of the more annoying ones from several years ago

Also, with Mattermost at least (and I assume others) it's pretty easy to configure it to change "Ticket 12345" into a link to the ticket server side
Why don't we have more modular cars? With EV being the next big thing, why not just sell the platform and let others build on top of it?
I really feel like none of you work in an environment where people ignore inconvenient requests, which must be really nice, link your /careers page, whatever, but -- if you lead with the thing they don't want to deal with, you will be ignored more. I am intentionally spending the time to go through a round of SYN-ACK. That puts the social pressure of an ongoing conversation on the recipient to explicitly decline instead of reading the thing they don't want to hear and just ignoring it. This is more efficient than for me to try getting answers from four people, all of whom ignore messages and hope it will be someone else's problem.

(I am also guessing this is less of an issue when you're not trying to coordinate across timezones)
They really don’t. Interviews are just interviews. They don’t reflect culture even in the slightest. Almost all the companies I’ve worked at had leetcode interviews - and they all had different cultures.
> As part of their platform, KLAYswap relied on a javascript library written by Korean tech company Kakao Corp. When users were on the cryptocurrency exchange, their browsers would load Kakao’s javascript library directly from Kakao’s servers

Am I the only one that yelled "NO" at their monitor when reading this snippet?

It is usually not good practice to load js from 3rd-party domains into your app. Just grab the file and serve it yourself.

For things like payments, I would hope that most of it is server-side, and that js doesn't play a critical role in it at all.
On one hand, this is a valuable rule that can improve communication.

On the other hand, if any one has the time to share this, they have time to say "Hey, what's up?". For a site about improving communication, it has a surprisingly irritating and condescending tone.
Right: I think everyone gets that; but it is that very concept that is irksome, as the entire reason to use chat apps for many people is to NOT have presence-at-keyboard EVER. Like, the answer to "are you there?" is, an hour later, "no", followed by immediately task switching away from the window again. The "no" is honest: I wasn't there when you asked, and I also am not really there now either. It is akin to trying to obtain synchronous communication with someone by sending them a letter with "hey, you there?" and a month later getting back "yo! what's up!"... you didn't really achieve much other than "this communication mechanism worked once"; and, if you want to do that in a way that makes it clear you aren't trying to establish synchronous communication--•I am sorry, but I am new to chat: are you actually seeing this message?"--I am more OK playing along.

The goal here--and I think a better way to present it than just trying to say "don't say hello" or trying to point out that someone else is being rude (which is a subjective way of analyzing things that I think people should avoid without empathy)--is in some sense to teach people what asynchronous communication means and how to achieve it, as I honestly don't want to and kind of can't have synchronous communication with anyone whom I don't really really really care about at the level of "a close personal friend or loved one" (and then if you find that rude, I guess you will have to deal with synchronously talking to someone else, at best my assistant, as I just really don't have time to synchronously talk with random people; but that's the problem: I know "hi; you there?" is a trap to try to make me feel bad for not staying synchronous once you pounce on my answer later).
Facebook is just being truthful to what always was their guiding principle, drive engagement, and make money out of it.
The worst thing though is when the SYN,ACK has 10 minutes of latency on it and the receiving end is blocked waiting for it.

It's a bit like going up to someone in the office and saying "Hi", they reply "What's up" and then the first person just stares at you...

Somehow I always fall for it when really I should just go off and make a cup of tea.
