What value does a platform have when people are fed up with those who complain about "I want free speech" and leave for greener pastures?

Just look at Facebook. It's widely seen as "boomer garbage" that's only used as a least-common-denominator resort for communication by the target group these days, and conspiracy crap groups and peddlers of propaganda are a huge part of the reason.

Platforms and societies that fail to maintain some basic social order all eventually disintegrate into chaos.
All health plans in the USA must fully cover an annual physical and other preventative services (like shots and some kinds of screenings) under the ACA.
> They say majority of Russian people really support Putin and his war on Ukraine.

The counter-argument is that Russians have had to develop a different breed/species of political thought: https://www.ft.com/content/6d96dc89-fb9a-4d18-a980-5044861ff...

Not that quiet protest can actually change anything in the short-term, unfortunately.

Why do you think any sane legal team would greenlight crafting a legal agreement to purchase a corporation for tens of billions without protective clauses?
Question: does anyone actually know what DDG does with user data? Like they market themselves as a "privacy respecting" search engine, but how much of this is truth?

I'd imagine there's good money in convincing people they have privacy because then they'll provide more interesting data.

Has the company ever been audited? Why should they be trusted to not compromise user privacy? Imo at least Google is honest: you know when you use their products as intended you have no privacy, and they don't try to hide this

Edit: since DDG isn't open source like searx, how do we know there is ANY truth to their marketing claims?

Edit: Just for accuracy, the browser extensions are open source. But as far as I know, the actual search engine isn't

Edit: They made over 100 million in 2020. They clearly can (and should) get an independent audit. It's shocking that they haven't had a single audit. Even startpage has
That seems like a good way to think of it.
They're doing it on purpose so people will sell off TWTR, then they will secretly buy and approve the acquisition offer. It's a blatant insider trading scheme.
.. which in turn is also pocket money compared to some Federal programs around the world, institutional use of retirement funds, inflated property values and insider loans.. all absolutely without one bit of cryptocurrency in them. smell the coffee, fraud is everyday
But

- Ukraine isn't under Western control

- Ukraine wasn't a security concern for Russia (didn't pursue NATO, was shunned by the west regarding military aid)

- Even if a country is a concern to another, it just isn't acceptable to go on a genocidal war and take all civilian casualties as collateral damage.
Twitter has operated for 16 years and public for about 10, explosive growth of their userbase is in their past and monetization strategies have already been implemented for years. There is no reason to believe it has the potential for such growth.
Is that not a consequence? Private business and all that
He can buy one of those other competitors used by right-wing folks. Hell, if "free speech" is so important to him and to everyone else he wants to rescue he can just tweet to use those other platforms. It's certainly cheaper.

>> DK doesn't mean no correlation, it means inverse correlation.

> No, it means that people's self-assessment, their prediction of what their test scores will be, is uncorrelated (or more precisely weakly correlated--that's what the original D-K data showed) with their actual test scores.

The problem is that in common Internet discussions, there is no fixed meaning of D-K. When things heat up, D-K becomes "his belief in his competent is an indication of his incompetence,ha" but in more calm debate is become "less competent people have a somewhat less accurate understanding of their competence".

In this form, D-K is a classic Motte and Baily device [1]. It's plausible, unsurprising and uninteresting that less competent people in a field self-access somewhat less accurately (the motte). It's completely unsupported but very "juicy" that someone's claim of competence indicates an incompetence (the bailey).

[1] To one more pieces of rhetorical which I'm mention also proves nothing but is illuminating - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motte-and-bailey_fallacy
And here goes my reason to use DDG. Not because I pirate stuff, but because I hate censorship. Its only a matter of time till they implement the same filters as GGle.

And in no way those filters stop dedicated ppl.
In many cases it is safest for a cyclist to get through an intersection as quickly as possible. Many times I have waited at red lights at empty intersections, only to have a bunch of cars come up and stop at the intersection while I was waiting. That is a much riskier situation than if I had just stopped briefly and proceeded through while empty.

Visibility can be partially obstructed for drivers at an intersection due to surrounding cars. This can create a situation where a car that is stopped 5 cars behind me, or is coming from the opposite direction, might not be able to see me. The risk is compounded at intersections with multiple lanes, where visibility is further decreased, and I may need to wait in the middle lane due to the presence of a dedicated turning lane.

The act of just starting a bicycle from a full stop also increases risk. I wear pedals that require me to unclip when stopping, and clip my feet in again when starting. This can take a couple seconds (I don’t always get it on the first attempt), during which time my maneuverability is severely limited, and I may need to look down at my feet for a moment instead of watching other cars in the intersection. Even for people using flat pedals, it can require more effort to turn the pedals when stopped vs. moving slowly, which decreases maneuverability and increases time spent in the intersection. Riders are also more likely to wobble when starting from a full stop.

So it’s not really about saving time, although that is certainly a nice benefit, but rather about improving safety for cyclists.

Hostile, in financial terms, is whenever the board or CEO did not initiate a conversation around an acquisition, and it is just made to the company.
I used to be able to find MP3s with Google, until one day it simply stopped working. Then I moved to Baidu, which worked for a while. I now use DDG to find movies, and yet looks like the curtain may be closing on that one too.

I fear it might only be a matter of time before Yandex stops working too.
On the contrary, bad seems pretty appropriate, because there are words that mean "worse than bad". "The worst" would be an example of something that would not be appropriate, unless it is actually worse than the holocaust. To me, brutal is basically a superlative.

I have the same reaction when I see people describe something as "extremely x". I don't often see things described as "extremely" whatever and think, "yep this person has a decent grasp on reality". This may just be something I'm sensitive to for whatever reason.
Maybe my vision on the subject is somehow coloured by the social safety net and labour legislation in the country i live in ...
I quit: 5 weeks notice.
My "shop cuts me loose" : 10 weeks notice. As a bonus, when they are really upset about my interviewing activities, i get off the hook immediately and get paid for 10 weeks without working for it. What is the risk? Some coworkers hinting to the employer about my leaving?
I wasn't thinking the repo would be maintained beyond the title (and short description, maybe whole readme?) being in a list of starred repos, and maybe having something like "[now private]" or "[removed]" added.

If I know I starred a repo and then go back to it and it's no longer accessible, I want to see that I'm not going mad and have some information about why the repo is no longer accessible.
>Of course, I'm also baffled that people credit him as being a 'builder'

This topic really highlights the people who form their entire mental model of reality around news headlines.

I'm also essentially deaf (90% loss) in my right ear. It really doesn't affect my life in a negative way except in situations like you mentioned. Also, wearing a one-eared headset offers no advantages over a two-eared set in an office environment. I won't be hearing what the person in my cubicle says either way until I remove it.

If you ever encounter a person who instead of making eye contact seems to be looking just over your shoulder, it could be you are about to be attacked or it could be someone like me who needs to turn their one good ear towards you slightly in order to hear our conversation. :)
I'm considering selling.

>Bucher said the two employees in the conference room asked Berling to stop, and when he didn’t, they walked out. Once the panic attack had subsided, Bucher said, Berling walked out of the conference room and was asked to leave the building. He was let go a couple of days later.

As a UX designer, I don’t understand this attitude. Clearly there are things GitHub could do to improve the design here. That doesn’t mean it’s GitHub’s fault, mistakes can always happen.

This screen gives you pretty poor context for your action. You can’t so easily see things that normally tell you at a glance where you are. They also don’t offer a good preview of the action, or undo, which is how you normally make potentially destructive actions less dangerous. Instead they made a scary prompt, but since they use that solution a lot, users may get desensitized to it.
The children aren't vaccinated. It's why you're getting downvoted. It has nothing to do with vaccine skepticism. If they were all vaccinated, I too would wonder if the vaccine had something to do with it. Maybe you're just toxic.
A developer at GH made the same mistake. It clearly means the UI is not working the way intended.

On one hand, there's a UI change GitHub could implement that would greatly prevent this situation from happening again.
On the other hand, one could try warn every github users that this situation can happen and to be carefull...
Well I have my opinion on which would be most effective.

That doesn't seem to follow. It's not intrinsic, it's a design choice, surely.
You can even use a box on your home network (or even your router itself with a little elbow grease...) Many routers support popular DDNS providers, and most ISPs don't block port 80 or 443. It may be against your ISPs TOS because they don't want you hammering their upload capacity, but if you put it behind a free-tier CDN that soaks up the spikes (e.g. Cloudflare) then they're unlikely to care. Setting the whole thing up only takes a couple hours (if you're inept like me) and you're in complete control.

I'm still staggered by it, and I watched it happen, too.

Several times in my computing career -- say, from 1990 on -- I've seen something start to happen that was clearly going to be huge, only to be told over and over that the obviously-inevitable development was Impossible.

The first example was the ascendancy of the microcomputer. "OH, there will ALWAYS be a space for mainframes! Corporations aren't going to do their accounting on some crappy PC! You're just young and don't see how these things really work."

The second was the way Linux completely destroyed the commercial Unix market (and, with it, the "fancy Unix workstation" market). The power of FOSS is, in my view, very very often overstated by idealists, but it's hard not to see the wholesale corporate/academic/research shift from Solaris, et. al., to Linux on commodity hardware as anything but a HUGE win in terms of computing power.

I think everyone should leave Twitter whether Elon buys it or not. It's a platform that often amplifies people's worst tendencies. Changing how much free speech Twitter allows won't change that.

Yep, your post is 100% correct :) That’s the reality we live in.
I'm not sure whether it is this year but I'm sure the progress is impressive. I've been using Ubuntu as the main OS for the last 10years. Had a dual boot in the rare case I want to play something (or sign some pdfs). It was likely once a quarter so never really thought about hacking with wine. But recently installed Steam and was surprised that ... it just works. Not everything but a lot that i cared about.
Not sure if this is the year of gaming on Linux, but this is the year i purge Windows from my life.
Maybe most of Europe. In Greece, my experience was that they seem to throw them everywhere, even if they tend to be largely ignored. For intersections where they really want you to stop, they’ll have two or three stop signs spaced maybe 40–50 meters apart leading up to the intersection. You know, for emphasis I guess.
Also the rate is still lower than the inflation rate.
BTW, Plex sadly requires a network connection, I'm looking at alternatives. Seems silly to have local media and not able to play it.
It sounds like "the banks," who would be in an even more privileged position to know if the $420 offer was legitimately secured, also thought it was not. Doesn't really help Elon's case. It is also not the story he told in 2018 when he was still fighting the charges.

Yandex has an agreement with copyright holders and removes sites with pirated content from results. But those are Russian copyright holders and they mostly care about content in Russian.

Also Yandex removes sites that are banned in Russia, for example BBC in Russian or Navalny's site.

You'll find a very good introduction to ECS in Rust in the book "Hands-on Rust: Effective learning through 2D Game Development"¹. It's based on Legion, which (AFAIK) is now discontinued, but the book/project has such a smooth design, that it makes working with an ECS really a pleasure (to be fair, Legion is less ergonomic than Bevy, but it's not a big deal).

I'd be cautious towards Bevy; it's a product that capitalized with great success on hype; there's nothing inherently wrong with that (I don't doubt at some point it will reach a stable point), but it should be clear to users that it's currently "very alpha" (that said, I'm happy to report that Bevy made huge strides in stability/usability between v0.5 and v0.7).

Most risk is not quantifiable like that. Very few things are as clear cut as gambling. Most risk is in the form of "should I try to swim across this rushing river or risk going downstream to look for a bridge".

That risk isn't quantifiable. But if you're in a national park, you know there is a good chance there is a bridge, so you pattern match what you know about national parks and decide that looking for a bridge is less risky, knowing your priors.

VCs operate the same way. They know that in the past they funded two founders from MIT making a marketplace, so they are far more likely to put money into that again than something from a solo female founder who never went to college.

That's why I say they are risk averse.
If you follow that logic, each time stock goes after good earnings, everyone should just sell off everything.
I'm in exactly the same situation, feeling exactly the same way. I don't have an answer, but I do have another option to add to your list which is to take a year out.

I share the dream of making my own product, but I lack imagination, and probably skill and work ethic too. But, if I intentionally planned to take 12 months off, especially if my employer is happy to take me back, the opportunities are endless. Get fit, travel, read, start your own side gig, learn a language, find love, and most important of all, unplug from the system, become human again. I don't know if I'm trying to persuade you or me at this point, but it's something to consider if you have the cash to cover it.
Automation Bias
>So this affected you personally?

I hate this line of reasoning, and I also hate that it's so prevelantly used in our legal system (we have a legal system, not a justice system FWIW). This same flawed line of thought has prevented lawsuits against the government for their illegal spying. Since "no one can prove they were harmed", and "proving you were harmed is against the law" we're stuck.

Consider the following: A pending meteor impact harms absolutely no one until right before it impacts and harms everyone.
Agreed on paper. But my largest concern is that drivers make many, many anticipatory decisions in split-seconds while scanning for traffic.

If a driver sees a cyclist coming while they approach an intersection and, unaware of the new law, assumes "They are going to stop because that's a red light / that's a stop sign," that's a significant risk for the oncoming cyclist if they mis-judge the velocity of the oncoming car and think they'll be able to clear the intersection before the car arrives.

Everybody drives a bit safer when everybody has the most correct mental model of driver behavior they can have.
Why shoot for "most of the way there" when one of the core features of the language is "all the way there"?
Ask HN: Password Sharing with 3rd Parties?
How do you share passwords with third parties that do not use the same tools as you?

For example:
- share a password with someone who uses a different, incompatible password manager
- share a password with someone who does not use the same end-to-end encrypted platform

Particularly with someone who is not a technical person, so using GPG or PGP encryption is NOT an option. It's got to be something just as simple as opening a link/e-mail/message but secure and end-to-end encrypted.
>I often think scary popup boxes are enough to get people to think about what they're doing

This would entirely depend upon how often it shows up. The more often it shows up when the scare isn't relevant, the less people will pay attention to it.

>the distractions ("Type this repo's name", etc) just go away

I think it shows that what one types needs to be relevant information. In this case, due to the similarity between when the author would've been asked if they did what they were intending to do and what they typed to do what they actually did, we can judge the prompt isn't enough. If this also asked you to type in the number of git stars you were about to lose, that would've been enough to make author recheck exactly what they were doing.

It's very well possible that the Twitter board believes that they can achieve higher value for the shareholders than what Elon offered. It's also very well possible that after talking to Elon through private conversations that you were not part of, they fundamentally disagree with his value and the direction he wants to take the company.

>I think his plan B will be to start a competitor.

Hey, maybe he would buy Parler, that would sure get him all the attention he desperately craves for. /s but maybe not.
