This viewpoint underestimates a single person's ability to consume the output of a news organization. There are orders of magnitude difference between the number of stories that can appear in one's newsfeed and the number of stories produced bye a news organization in a day.

One could roughly estimate that by the time a news organization grows to need a full floor of office space, its pace of production will outstrip most readers' ability to keep up and not miss important stories. A temporal feed makes "keeping up" important, as relevant stories will quickly drop off the feed due to newer stories having been published more recently. The reverse is also true: a curated feed allows readers to step away and not worry that they will miss something important.

The pacing of news stories is dictated by a combination of the number of salient events occurring as well as the number of staff.

To use a concrete example, the (already-shortened) Yahoo! Finance News for Apple has 11 stories published today. There are thousands of public companies, and relevant news is published every day about many of them. A temporal feed of company news on the Yahoo! Finance homepage would therefore not be very useful. The pacing is essentially outside the control of Yahoo!, since it is driven by events at thousands of companies.
I think it would be interesting to make the ammount the school receives for the student inversely proportional to their placement in the admission.

Important distinction to make, most people just think "more money means interest" but the mechanics of the two financial instruments differ and this is the entire selling point for these ISAs, and the reason why one may be a good / bad idea in a situation.
I think the sweet spot are about 500MWe reactors rhat use molten salt fuel. They are just way smaller then your AP-1000s and once we get going we can build them just way faster.
Opsec is incredibly difficult to get correct - especially in the long term. Many of the people who need to be getting it correct do not and the only reason they are not in front of a judge or serving time is simply because their government hasn't given a shit to so much as glance their way. Because if their government actually gave a crap to investigate they'd be found almost instantly. From doing stupid things like sharing photos of their pets to more mundane things like having very obvious hours of activity and using vocabulary that varies spelling regionally (eg: how you spell color/colour suddenly matters) or even worse using regional slang like a bunch of Australian slang.

If you want to be a darknet drug lord my advice is of a different flavor: Don't let yourself become too big. Once a (or multiple) governments are after you it is very likely only a matter of time before you get caught. Not because the government is particularly good at tracking people down or somehow nearly omniscient but simply because you likely had or have terrible opsec and finding you is more trivial than you've led yourself to believe. If you believe they are already looking for you it's time to abandon everything and disappear. Live your life like it never happened and whatever you do don't pass on the torch. Let your work die and be buried and someone else build on top of the grave.
Disagree. Some people are less self-aware than others. It's not a matter of opinions or what you believe in, it's a matter of how much you are aware of your own cognition.

There are many people out there who seem to lack the ability to analyze the consequences of their behavior, or to admit that they were ever wrong. There are also people who seem to be very bad at understanding what are their motivations for doing certain things. Not being able to look back at your own behavior and your own mistakes makes it nearly impossible for these people to grow.

I won't get into the argument as to whether these differences in self-awareness are biological in origin or due to nurture. It's probably some of both. Either way, even though this metric is multidimensional and hard to quantify, some people are definitely less self-aware than others. Just like some people are less physically fit than others.
I wonder when MS solitaire became number 1.

Wikipedia says it originally came with Windows 3.0 back in 1990.

IANAL but I'm pretty sure generating something, even something creative, isn't enough for protection if it isn't novel and distinct. I'd assume none of their planets would be protected since there are 18 quintillion of them and most of them have never actually been rendered - but the process to generate planets of that style might be protectable.
I’m not an expert in this field at all, but from the bit of research I did to try to verify these numbers, the estimates presented here about solar longevity and long-distance transmission seem unrealistically pessimistic.

Losses for 800kV HVDC systems are typically documented at ~3.5%/1000km or ~5%/2000km[0], and state-of-the-art 1.1MV systems have losses of ~1.5%/1000km[1][2]. Lower voltage systems have higher losses but I’m not sure why a lower-voltage system or AC system would be used in a project like this.

I can’t find any information about increased losses in submarine cables at all; where is that information from, and what is the mechanism that causes that added loss?

For solar panels, as far as I can tell, capacity loss occurs at a rate of ~0.3-1% per year depending upon the type of panel, with a median of 0.5%[3]. More modern panels have lower losses than older panels, presumably due to manufacturing improvements. So, after 10 years, you’re talking about something that will produce—on average—5% less power than it did when it was brand new. That’s not something that is broken and needs to be replaced the way you seem to be suggesting.

Neither. As the article specifically mentions, they will not be charging for the existing open content, or any future changes or additions to it. Why you would try to suggest they might do this is beyond me.

They will be selling additional "premium features" at launch time, as described in this article, and plan to sell specifically created additional content, like in-depth articles, in the longer run, as described in previous articles.

Maybe this will enable them to hire back some of the people they let go (assuming these people are willing). But the main goal is to put mdn on a level of funding where little or no funding from mozilla is required anymore.
Data generated by people isn't random, it has statistical regularities that can be used to narrow down the search space and since quantum computers are better at certain kinds of search problems it will be easier to find fragments of files based on just the hashes of the content.
Alas, still no cure for Stockholm Syndrome.
How do you propose they make money to keep doing what they do without violating your privacy?

Treat this as an annual donation and don’t use the features. Seems like an easy solution.
Nice!

It's funny that buttons are the "Hello World" of frontend components, because they're actually feverishly nuanced.

I wrote a proof of concept for one of these, using XState, a few months back.

My use case was a cross platform react native button -- which means there's technically a difference between "pressed" and "hover" -- and there's also a loading state, which required special handling for the a11y state.

https://codesandbox.io/s/fervent-shirley-dgesq?file=/src/Pre...

NOTE: this will open a popup (might have to enable popups) with the visualizer, and it defaults to the a11y machine, but there's a drop down to switch to the main button machine.

Yes, a cert is just a public key that's been "stamped" by a certificate-authority (CA), allowing it to be validated by servers holding the CA public key (as well as enforcing other policies like lifespan, principles). It is a totally separate file and does not modify the original public or private key, which indeed have no notion of lifespan.

If you are constantly regenerating uncompromised SSH keys, you are probably doing something wrong.

The GP is misleading in this way.
This example is totally unrealistic. In the USA someone supporting themselves working at McDonalds would qualify for Medicaid and have essentially no out-of-pocket medical expenses.
Well this is what's tricky for me. I'm into software development, etc. but I also have a desktop which is suitable for such work. That's fine.

But I'd like it to at least be suitable for light development work as a more portable device for the foreseeable, so 8GB feels like it's already being pushed on my existing Ubuntu laptop (which is ~4 years old). But it's hard to justify such a price increase when it would still ultimately be a secondary machine.
Calibre does have their "book sharing" solution that are built in the software. However it is more like content server. Calibre-Web is a third-party solution that are not affiliated with Kovid Goyal (creator/main developer of calibre). And Calibre-Web is basically browser version of Calibre without requiring other people to use Calibre to access Calibre-Web. So Kovid did not create this calibre-web image from what I understand.
It is entirely possible to simply ignore that intelligence. And why wouldn't you, if you're safe and fed? Being stupid is easier - very much in line with evolution, too.

It's hard not to notice that many people are... dumb, but content or happy. They don't second guess, they don't fret, they don't think much.

I really wish I could be like that.
Whether or not they're excused is orthogonal to whether or not America should prosecute. If Russia doesn't prosecute cyberattacks on Americans, then the logical leverage to get them to do so is to not prosecute American cyberattacks on Russians.
When people said “we will pay for it” the decision had already been made, it was too late.

Mozilla is not pay-walling the open documentation, it’s still available. They are pay-walling features that make it easier to save pages, navigate, and use the docs offline.

There are alternatives, in the form of Devdocs.io, Zeal, and Dash, if you want similar features but don’t want to pay Mozilla.

You are not losing anything you already can access to my knowledge.
> deplatformed from their banks

Cryptocurrency is not practical without access to a bank.

> inflation at all time highs

Cryptocurrency's extreme volatility means it's a poor hedge against inflation, especially compared to other assets that are known to be reliable without the volatility. For example, if you bought BTC a year ago hoping to hedge against the alarm bells that were sounding for inflation, you are now doing much worse compared to havin done absolutely nothing.

> dollar possibly losing de facto monopoly in world trade.

This is not a real use-case. Could this happen? Perhaps, but there's no reason to believe that this wouldn't decimate the cryptocurrency markets, if anything, the new reserve currency would be the more desirable asset, not cryptocurrency.

Aaron's been an academic for most of his career and was working for Dyalog as of 2020 (edit: still there, per [0]). I wouldn't describe his work as "production", since it mainly relates to APL itself rather than some external problem to be solved with it.

The varying answers to this are effectively political positions. I would suggest that in this case (like in several others) competition is insufficient to guarantee that I have that choice. If I have a GSuite account, but I think that Google's support is rubbish who else can I go to that provides a similar level of service?

To use another example - there are various consumer protection laws in the UK and EU. They cover all sorts of things like guaranteeing safety standards and requiring companies to accept returns. They have arisen over time to cover situations where consumers aren't capable of making the decision (e.g. safety which is complex or you might not find out for 10 years) or it's not something companies compete on but it's something you want for customers (e.g. returns).

Different political approaches, such as the more liberal one in the US leaves it more up to competition, the idea being that competition provides for consumers and it's easier to grow and operate businesses so the economy flourishes and everyone does well that way.

I'd suggest that it's not a perfect system and that you have to fill in the gaps. This is why America is rediscovering the union - in theory companies compete for the job market. If one job is incredibly shitty then employees can leave and get another one. This should provide competitive advantage to companies to make jobs non shitty and companies that don't can't hire and die out. In practice, for reasons that I don't fully understand, that hasn't worked out. Covid has been a trigger for some movement here and therefore some pressure, but it hasn't solved all the problems. Instead an alternate approach can work where employees can bargain collectively.

If you put together a program that credibly promised to save local taxpayers money by providing small vouchers, I think you might be surprised at the pretty broad support it would garner.
Hard disagree. Needing to follow the politics of every piece of your tech stack is a ridiculous way of doing things. We should have a system to verify if a module is malicious or not, that’s an engineering problem, politicking about in open source communities is not. Engineers should be engineering things.
It's not just an opposing view of somebody's favorite color or brand, it's a fundamental disagreement about human rights, and the Supreme Court has already ruled that human rights shouldn't be decided by the popular vote, that same sex marriage is a "fundamental right inherent in the liberty of a person", and that Brendan Eich is incorrect in his beliefs that same sex marriage should be against the law, and is on the wrong side of history, law, and the US Constitution.

>“…the right to marry is a fundamental right inherent in the liberty of the person, and under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment couples of the same-sex may not be deprived of that right and that liberty. The Court now holds that same-sex couples may exercise the fundamental right to marry. No longer may this liberty be denied to them.” -Justice Anthony Kennedy

And the same people who are so offended at calling Brendan's dehumanization of same sex couples "hate" are usually the same ones also claiming to "hate" Mozilla and "hate" discussions about Brendan Eich's support for Proposition 8, so they've already set the bar extremely low for the definition of "hate", and they don't have a leg to stand on trying to move the goalposts by redefining "hate" in the next sentence.
Of course people are still updating.
TBF, the only reason why macOS isn't currently supported seems to be some minor build system details (e.g. the toplevel CMakeLists.txt file has explicit support for Windows, Linux, Android, iOS and Emscripten, but not macOS).

This whole thread is a parody of the "I can't define porn but know what it is when I see it"
Turning off comments as an independent YouTube creator is these days potential career suicide, as ‘engagement’ is a huge part of the algorithm.

What you’re “supposed” to do these days, is engage with comments (literally like and reply!) early in your career, when the stream of feedback small and manageable, to drive engagement, and stop looking when they become unmanageable. This strategy is rewarded by YouTube.

Many creators struggle to draw that line because it can feel like turning their back on their fans.
I think a lot of people touched on it, but when choosing a market for your product as a small team starting out you likely don't choose desktop. Unless your users are primarily on desktop (e.g. pc gaming, software development). These days web and mobile are where the market is at.

It's expensive (time and money) to build apps for multiple platforms even if you use cross platform toolkits like React Native. The tooling just isn't there to make it easy enough to share code between platforms and create compelling products. It generally doesn't make business sense.

I'm working on this problem. Leave a reply and I'll invite you to test when I launch. ;)

The United States couldn't do either of those with NASA's budget... And the SLS is not NASA's entire budget.

I believe that space exploration is an incredibly important national priority, even if only as a means of maintaining our space-related military capabilities. Anyone who believes the US can abandon space travel and still be secure against present and future global threats is just a goddamn clown.

But generally we shouldn't pay $2 for a bullet that we could buy elsewhere for $1. We could buy a lot more bullets if we bothered to try to contain our unit costs.

I would say "Hardly anything surprising and new here sherlock" violates both of those.

Copyright does take into account the entire work.

However, people will sometimes claim that a portion of their work is stolen.

The idea here is to give someone a citation of it existing elsewhere as a defense to the above. Although this is a very experimental endeavor and some suspect it won’t be taken very seriously in an actual court, because the context in which it was created may undermine some of the creative requirements for qualification under copyright law.

I’m not sure I’ve ever felt like I’ve needed to personally organize parts of MDN but I might just subscribe to support the place. Who knows, maybe I’ll love the new features. Notifications could be helpful, though I’m more the “check in when I’m about to use some method to see if it’s changed” kind of engineer and less the “stay as up to date as possible” kind of engineer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But hey, I’ll be supporting Mozilla and MDN so no real loss.

As a fan of Lisp/Scheme, I find it's a bit like parens: if one's editor mostly takes care of it (auto de/indenting) then it's not that bad, otherwise it can get annoying quickly.

The teams/projects I've been part of the last couple of years make heavy use of Nim, which is whitespace delimited. My editor is Emacs and lsp-mode + nimlsp (latter is the LSP server; lsp-mode also leverages nim-mode) do an okay-ish job, but not a great one to be honest. Some days I really wish for curly braces.
Again, the alternative to SSO's single SPOF is many SPOFs for each individual engineer with access.
I'm curious why you're being downvoted for this. Whoever disagrees, please share some context.

What you said about "wrapping" I interpret as: based on an image for instance with OS level dependencies you create another image with application level artifacts, e.g. a python application. When your app changes, you don't build the base image again, you only build the app image. This makes sense to me.
If no one offers GSuite or a similar competitor to you under terms that you find acceptable, do you have a right to demand that they offer “just like GSuite, only with an additional telephone hotline”?

For me, that answer is a clear no, in that you are not (and should not be) guaranteed that the market provides you such a choice nor does it offer you the choice to deny others the freedom to choose GSuite as it sits today in features and pricing.
