I'm not convinced that would have really solved the problem. One could just as easily post a screenshot of two nearly identical dialogs where the only different is that one says "This will remove 54 stars" and the other says "This will remove 54,000 stars" and the same argument could be made that "the only way to notice the difference is if you happen to notice those 3 zeros."

Just because one concieved a fantastic scenario doesn't mean it should be taken seriously. There is no evidence of such sabotage being ever attempted or planned - and thats a serious problem for your argument because various agencies have tried all kinds of shit from hypnosis to investigating supernatural abilities during the cold war.

There are more straight forward ways to cause damage.

It is quite staight forward to poison food supply chain, water supply, a dirty bomb is easy to make amd acessible to many rogue states

Why would Russia go through the trouble of infiltration and covert ops of a well-secured and monitored installation that is in the middle of nowhere and will d9 minimal damage, if they have chemical weapons, Bioweapons, can make dirty bombs and have nukes at their disposal?
Smart people make mistakes all the time. He has correctly debunked a lot of scams, it is easy to get jaded and carried away. Since he isn't an investor and doesn't have the inside scoop it is plain to see how his nitpicking, based on the publicly available information, potentially led him to a wrong conclusion.

SpinLaunch is a rather out there. I've actually had this idea and I'm sure many others have as well. I happen to think it can work but I was still skeptical when I first heard of them. You can only infer so much from the outside.

Thanks for the additional info blackholesRhot and for throwing money into this, the sort of bets we should be making. Godspeed. :)

Sure, I understand that. But I think, as a designer, I can't really control the actions of my users. I can only try to design such that I can get them closer to the action they want to take. From that perspective, I think adding the additional information to the warning UI would, if not solve the problem, at least get us one step closer to helping the user make the right decision.

Tbh, when I've deleted repo's, I've mostly just copied the repo name and pasted it in the box. Careless of me? Definitely. Can GitHub change that carelessness? Probably not. Will a box that says "Stars: 54k" help? I think it'd help me, at the very least.
I don't think the technical challenge is the blocker here. Lots of people on HN could build a really good version of Twitter in a month and be ready to tweak things as scale increases. (Nothing is an overnight success and you will have time. Twitter didn't even get it right for a couple years, remember the "fail whale"? The idea being right as much more important than choosing the right distributed database or whatever.) The reason people don't do that is because they don't know what they could do better than Twitter. People leave Twitter because nobody wants to read their tweets; you can't build a Twitter clone from people whose tweets nobody wants to read.

One idea that I have is that I noticed a lot of people went from blogging to making YouTube videos. I'm guessing YouTube is the sweet spot that balances monetization potential (they will find ads to put in your videos, and advertisers pay a lot for video ads) with a recommendation engine (that essentially forces people to watch your content; or more charitably, tells people that will like your content that they should take a look). Blogs didn't really have monetization or recommendation, and people were willing to switch media (text to video) just to get those two things! Now we have things like Substack bringing those to text, and people are taking advantage of that.

Maybe that's where the next Twitter wants to be? Paying smart people to write? That sounds a lot more appealing than "free speech" (which is great to have, but I don't really want to read anyone's free speech), which is all we've seen as the differentiation point for Twitter clones.
Just FYI - you can star private repositories so it's not quite that simple. You'd need to determine if the starring aligns with permissions... but I think it's still relatively reasonable.
It's buggy and doesn't work well because people who have no idea how software works are in charge of managing software projects. There's a good book titled "Power to the public" that goes into this phenomenon in-depth and explains why most government software projects end up being dumpster fires.

I get messed up by the same thoughts, OP. It always lingers in the back of my mind, extra pressure that I don’t need. “You’re going to die one day, better not waste your time”, I tell myself. It may comfort you to know that I’ve been doing this to myself for my whole adult life! The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing the absolute truth on the matter: that every single person in existence is ageing at the same rate as me. One single day at a time. No one is immune to it, and we all edge towards death in lockstep. Somehow it’s comforting to know I’m not alone in mortality. I don’t want to die, or decline, but there is no way around it.

Does this all sound morbid? How old do you think I am? One year is a long time to have these thoughts linger, let alone a few decades. It’s a pathological issue, something that doesn’t have any positive effects on the way you function. My grandfather is coming up to his 80s, his wife died while they were in their 60s. His salvation has been in the form of work. He has not stopped working and has stayed active. I worked with him on construction sites, him 73 and I 21. His speed, grit, determination and directness of action made me pale in comparison. He is a rich man, and doesn’t need to labour on his own projects. He does it to beat lethargy and morbid thinking. He is slowing down, but still oversees his large commercial developments in our region.

Simplified: too much free time will give us opportunity to linger on dark thoughts. My pop is one of the calmest men I know. He doesn’t stress about things, and he is constantly active. I think it is related.

I wish you the best of luck, OP. These are difficult thoughts to grapple with. I hope you find solace.
A practical consequence (not necessarily the only consequence) would be for the people who starred it who use stars as a bookmark feature: they have now lost their bookmark.
It’s not just the German greens. Australia’s greens are staunchly anti-nuclear despite it being the only viable solution to the baseload problem, which renewables haven’t yet solved.

> Which he can do much more cheaply than buying outright at a 38% premium.

Are you sure? I suspect were he actually trying to do this and had the liquidity, the price would go up as he tried to buy it.
Starring a repo is a way of tracking it. So now there are 55k people who were trying to keep an eye on the project who have silently lost that.

It's also an important indicator of community size and authenticity, important factors in the decision to use the code.
I went to School in German,

and at least where I went to School in the 2000s discussion of pros and cons of nuclear power where covered a lot but where rather objective.

Most strong anti nuclear movements in my generation (and local area) came from associations outside of school, e.g. parents.

As far as I can tell there was a very strong anti-nuclear movement in the generations which are now 50-70 or so, i.e. the Generation which currently probably has most influence in the politics.

Through in defense of the Green party it was not them but the CDU (~moderate conservative party) which did speed up the shutdown of nuclear power after (somewhat?) reassessing the safety of German power plans after Fukushima. Given that the CDU is very business orientated and this wasn't good business this says a lot about the state of the remaining nuclear power plants IMHO.

EDIT: As a side note IMHO the German Green party are hypocrites, don't think of them as a strongly environmental focused party. They pretend to be one but in the end aren't really that. (Through environmental protection still matters for them anyway.)
Yeah, that's a risk. They could mitigate it by allowing you to revert all branches/tags back to the pre-private state, but we're getting more and more complicated here.
I'd be concerned if the U.S. passed this law.

Who defines what "good" or "positive energy"? Who defines what is fake news? Does providing users information that is "not tailored to their personal characteristics" mean that it's, instead, tailored to the state's preferences?

The language of the law sounds nice and there are aspects that probably meet goals that are not necessarily harmful to people (e.g. Addicted people are less productive, so avoiding addiction is good for the state as well as the individual), but it definitely could be used by a state to control what people see online. That's political control of media.

If you wouldn't be concerned if this passed under Biden, how about if it were passed under Trump? Remember what he called "fake news"? How much more should we be concerned about it being passed in China, where state control over media is absolute?

e.g. Anything involving the Tienanmen square massacre is virtually guaranteed to be classified as "fake news", "not good", or "not conducive of positive energy" by this law. How do companies like facebook ensure they're compliant with the law then? Censorship.

This isn't good news. This is absolutely dystopian.
The origin of “gaslight” is a movie where a husband surreptitiously removes objects from the room, dims and brightens the lights, etc. and pretends the changes were just the wife’s imagination. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslight_(1944_film)#Plot

Removing bookmarks from someone’s list without notification seems at least broadly comparable (in both cases, the victim is confused and might question their own memory, because the state of the world changed in an incongruous way), though it is the action of an emotionless machine with a programming bug rather than a malicious human.
>One could make the same argument for a dictatorship being superior to the rule of law. After all, you can always talk to a human to resolve your problem.

I'm sorry I don't understand what you're talking about, this makes no sense. The judicial system also requires humans who are tasked with resolving the problems who you can talk to, that's literally the whole point of it.

>Removing human decision making from a process makes it a game where everyone plays by the same rules.

First of all, no it doesn't because that presumes the machine is always going to be working correctly. Computers don't do this. Second of all, somebody always has to build and maintain the computers, so there is no situation where you can remove all human decision making from the process. I hear executives making these kind of comments all the time as an excuse for cost cutting but that's all it is. You can't make a tech company that isn't paying IT staff in some way.

>You ignored his point

No, you're wrong. His point was also wrong. I actually agree you can indeed reduce administrative expenses by using computer modeling, and most insurance companies already do that. My point is this has nothing to do with blockchains. You don't need blockchains to do that, and attempting to do that on blockchains only increases cost. We're getting into an area where everything is wrong again, please stop with this because I would rather not.

>If you keep making up your own bad arguments

Except this is not my argument. The parent comment just made it and I've heard it probably hundreds of other times. It's the same kind of comment as "maybe we can put the deed to my house on the blockchain" which is equally nonsensical and I've probably heard that hundreds of times too.

There was an explicit suggestion right there in the article what else they could do, so you don't even have to guess.

Typing in the number of objects that would be deleted in addition to the name is something else.

Or, they could just keep all of them in place, but hidden, and "restore" them all automatically if you made it public again.

There are lots and lots of things they could do better, if they cared. But paraphrasing Eunice, of course they don't care, they're Microsoft.

How many years have we had to learn from people using programs to know that people make mistakes. Goodness knows how many people burned themselves using "rm". For that reason alone, "rm" is a bad tool, and should be replaced with something like trash-cli.
Yeah but it's not like stars are seen as some amazing endorsement on the part of the individual starring. It's more like a favorites list if anything

Broader context: iView (from the ABC in Australia, a publicly funded broadcaster) was pretty much first to market here for streaming TV, and view on demand.

The other stations have all since caught up, but ABC have a tremendous amount of quality children's content so it's a very popular service with families.

However, the current government is not a fan of funding the ABC and as such they've been operating with a very tight and reducing budget for most of the last decade. The edges of their products including interactive news pieces and election/pandemic coverage (and some of these API key issues) are a bit rough but the overall achievement is excellent.
This is a nice little vignette dramatizing the exact thing the article is about. You might want to consider that before you end up divorced.
In my experience, private APIs are expected to be refactored, and you should not depend on them. I don't think sales/marketing are involved at all. For a public API, sure, but don't expect private, undocumented APIs not to break you, in fact, you SHOULD expect them to change, especially in any codebase that is actively being maintained.
People have lost their jobs, gotten death threats, had personal information shared, been swatted, and so on when the mob didn't like what you said on Twitter (or Facebook or ...).
Same argument applies to dirty bombs and chemical weapons or anthrax. Which are much more readilly avaliable and could be used to attack cities - whereas a nuclear plant is the countryside is going to do comparatively little.
> I don't anyone would find your squishy confidence it's worth 50% more than current value any more credible than shorters who think it's worth 50% less

It's not my opinion that TWTR is worth 50% more. Please don't understand it as such. It's an example of what someone long TWTR could be thinking when they simultaneously hold their position and want to reject the Musk takeover.

I don't think it's worth continuing this thread anymore though. Have a great day.
I can't really tell from the website, do they make their own laptops or are these rebranded Clevos?
Just heard a startup pitch at Bamboo Detroit by the founder. One of the features alerts a deaf person to a loud noise such as a baby crying or a police siren that I thought was extremely useful.

The basic app will be free and they're hard at work on an advanced app that will be paid. There are very few, if any, open source apps for the deaf.
I don't think you can really analogize much about Twitter from the examples of OnlyFans and Tumblr... the porn/adult-content situation is a whole different can of worms than the stuff people get mad at Twitter about.
> The author says they studied nuclear in grad school, and are probably therefore an expert.

That's not how it works. Just going to grad school (and it appears this is just for a Master's) doesn't imply you're suddenly an expert on an entire discipline. Even full professors don't generally claim to be experts in their entire fields; they become experts in their niches sub-fields/areas of research. You'd need to know what topics someone has actually studied, what their work/research was like, etc. before you can assume they're an expert in the areas you care about, and that information isn't given here.
kemper freeman deserves a lot of the blame, lobbied against it and bought out the council.

The author is misrepresenting or misunderstanding the nuclear waste argument in the report. The report says that you have to consider the costs of storing the waste if you want to run the reactors longer than planned, that's it.

And we have not solved the storage at all in Germany, there is no plan yet on where to put long-term storage for nuclear waste. This is certainly a solvable problem, but the fact that it has not been solved until now does not inspire confidence.
Then you misunderstand my point entirely. It's no longer wrong to use "beg the question" in this way. It is now part of everyday vernacular. It is now one of at least two correct ways of using the phrase. Language is weird that way, it's not set in stone, so if the "wrong" thing gets used enough and hits critical mass, it becomes a correct usage.

Look at the Great Vowel Shift, or how creoles, pidgins and patois develop and evolve. Language isn't static, and in the case of "amazing" its current vernacular usage has changed to almost always have a positive connotation.
There have been multiple leaks of Windows source code. At least one of them included almost everything required to build Windows XP:

https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-xp-leak-confirmed-afte...

The only missing component was winlogin.exe, probably because of its involvement with the activation process.
When you think about it, it seems reasonable, I think about what would happen if it were me.

If I was working at GitHub, and I nuked something, then the rest of my day would be un-nuking that thing. On the other hand if I was working on something totally unrelated, and then you my PM came to me and said "can you stop what you're doing and unfuck this thing" it would obviously depend on what I was working on.
They could very easily list the number of stars that will be deleted, as a sanity test. That in my opinion is even more reasonable than having to type the repo name, and should be implemented.
The reason they require 32 ETH to stake is that there's a scaling limit on number of stakers. They're working on improving that, thus decreasing the staking requirement.

It's very likely to stay a power of 2, so just a single reduction down to 16 ETH would make up for 34 years of deflation at 2%.
Yeah, but on the other hand, "don't make mistakes" isn't a meaningful or useful lesson.
Surely you meant upgrade the drugs?

I always get a little sad when I go looking for things like this. Today it costs a billion dollars per mile to build rapid transit, and yet there are cities where they just tore up their rapid transit system. My favorite is probably a branch off the Green Line in Chicago. You can start here: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8220133,-87.6169737,3a,60y,2... and zoom out and follow the entire route. A transit desert with lots of space for development, that way because the rapid transit route got torn up. (Info about this particular line: https://www.chicago-l.org/operations/lines/kenwood.html There are a lot of them in Chicago.)
I need a second opinion on this, the article sounds a bit click-baity to me.

If L3 really is 4 cycles slower, how much does it _actually_ affect performance? Specially given that L3 can now be made much larger.
Idk about "easily", but I'm sure they were motivated. If you've ever tried to restore parts of a database in a piecemeal fashion, it is usually fairly labor intensive. But you would hope there are a few gh engineers who would be motivated to do so without manager approval in the dead of night because httpie is great.

I agree that undos are pretty nice for when errors are possible, but I think there's a really good reason to put up warnings too. Let's say they accidentally made the repo private, but didn't notice it (unlike what happened here). Although you would be able to undo the change, it may have only kicked in once the news spread around (followed by reputation damage, etc). A well worded warning would prevent that.

In a way, I think warnings and undo serve two different functions-warnings are meant to inform the user of their action, and undos are meant to roll back actions taken.
If Google trusts their AI that much, I hope they make the precognitive step of replacing their CEO with an AI. Other companies will and survive, whereas the Google AI will never recorrect itself and subsidize their stock at an exponential level.
Are they going to end up with a better deal than what Russia was demanding before the war, or a worse one? Right now it's looking like worse, with Russia demanding territorial concessions in addition to Ukraine staying out of NATO.

And that's not even considering how Ukraine has taken thousands of casualties, has it's economy wrecked, had millions of people flee the country, and much of their infrastructure is ruined.
