And likewise with YouTube. I often see folks complain about the junk YouTube is feeding to them or their kids, but I find nearly all their recommendations are fully in line with the stuff the family does regularly seek out and watch. To the point where some evenings I'll just visit youtube.com and expect to find something interesting, versus using many of the streaming services I pay for (Netflix, Hulu, Disney, etc.).

This makes sense. These platforms are in the "engagement" business. They're trying to have you spend more time by suggesting content you will watch, not turn you off and have you close the tab.
> Thus there is no necessarily libertarian take on abortion.

This does not follow. There are various ways to approach a libertarian position on the morality of abortion per se which don't devolve into "striking a balance" between conflicting rights (a decidedly non-libertarian concept; natural rights are all negative rights, which do not conflict), but in the end it doesn't matter because there is only one entity involved with both the ability and the standing to justly apply either defensive or retributive force in response to a threatened or actual infringement of their rights, and that is the woman having the abortion. Anyone else using violence to either stop the abortion or punish the woman for having it would be in violation of the Non-Aggression Principle, as they are neither directly harmed by it nor acting with the informed consent of, and under the direction of, any party who was harmed.

> The true libertarian solution here would be something like school vouchers…

The "true libertarian solution" here would be private schools, with 100% private funding. Though of course anything that allows for more choice in where students can receive their education and what they are allowed to learn represents a step in the right direction, all else being equal.

> But raw milk is not inherently dangerous if consumed fresh.

Categorically and emphatically: N o p e. Raw milk can be contaminated at the point of collection already.

It doesn't matter if milk is fresh. Pathogenic bacteria contaminating raw milk can grow just fine in your gut and make you sick, they don't need to grow in the milk during transportation. In fact, transporation, in this day and age, is by refrigerated truck so it's a more hostile environment for many pathogens than your digestive tract.

At larger scales there is simply a larger chance for contamination, but that is mainly because large dairies collect milk from multiple smaller producers, so their milk can be contaminated from multiple sources thus aggregating both the chance of contamination and the number of pathogens. But each individual small farmer can produce contaminated milk, no problem.

If you have one animal, its milk can be contaminated and you can get ill from drinking it.

If you want to drink raw milk, go ahead, but don't go into it making false assumptions about safety and don't spread misinformation that risks harming others' health on the internet, please.

Edit: also, the "Real Milk" folks are fanatical, swivel-eye loons who don't give a shit about anyone's safety and only care about promoting their agenda of drinking raw milk. For some incomprehensible reason. No, pasteurisation doesn't damage milk. This is just rank bollocks of the lowest degree.

If they cared about "evidence" and they were in for a scientific debate, as they like to pretend, they wouldn't be promoting their Campaign for Real Milk with as much zealotry as they do, because there is simply not nearly enough evidence to make a strong case. All the "evidence" that I've seen are studies by their members, or studies of others that they have grossly misrepresented, or often not even a study but a poster at a convention etc. These are textbook quacks. Stay away.
I wonder what the net carbon impact of this is. Use of _reclaimed_ Carbon Dioxide, that could allow for trains to not do a start/stop which uses large amounts of fuel (or even just electricity that might have been generated using fuel).

Or would the trains have just stopped at their normal stop instead waiting for leaves to be cleared?

> every order of magnitude increase in community size is not linear to the moderation requirement: it is factorial.

I'm not sure this is correct. It sounds like your underlying model is "number of users N, number of potential interactions N x N." But people have finite time and resources. Every user can only post a maximum of T times a day, where T is some constant. So I think the number of actual interactions is linear in N.
Ask HN: Google Worskpaces got deleted by G:( what to use for self-hosted email?
Hopefully it's not against to the HN rules, but there are two questions at once:

2) best self-hosted alternative (Dockerized solution sounds nice)? I'm happy to pay 10$/mo for VPS provider, instead of Google, who could delete your stuff in random moment

As I understand, there are many people who are trying to leave Google Workspaces ASAP

Radio energy drops off pretty quickly. If the question you hoped to answer was does RF at any level higher than the background from the Sun + cosmic background cause cancer then that would be difficult, but if the question was does holding a smartphone cause cancer it would be relatively easy. It would also be easy to give people a device that either transmitted rf or didn't with no outside indication. Also really easy to do this in mice or the like. So far all indicator are that for the sort of frequencies we use the only impacts are heating
The poison pill says elon cant buy more but current shareholders can buy more at a discount relative to the stock market. Basically Elon was just going to shell out slightly more money or fail and everyone who didn't buy is screwed.

It however takes shareholders to want to buy more. Twitter is quite undefended. Poison pill was never going to be effective in any major way. At most they were going to delay the inevitable here.

The media coverage of the poison pill was pretty bad, this was not going to be effective at stopping anything. The bigger news is why is Twitter so undefended. It makes sense from Jack Dorsey's pov, he was backing off. However even a saudi prince incorrectly believed he still owned twitter stock. It's super unusual for a S&P500 company to be so undefended.

Yet worse, something that I have never seen happen, there are a ton of S&P500 companies that are undefended. This isn't true in other country indexes. What made the US stock market so offensive? I checked all my US holdings and somehow each of them are healthy with the only exception being Tyson. The stock market is going to blow up?

DOW is down -7% YTD. S&P500 is down -11% YTD. With inflation at 8.5%, those are down alot.
I've seen this "inner voice" thing on the internet a couple of times and I'm yet to find a source that convinces me there's a real difference between people in this respect.

I can definitely relate more to the way you described your mind than to the usual "inner voice". But I suspect it's the same for all people, they just subconsciously abstract it in another way.

I suspect a similar confusion happens when people talk about aphantasia. But I haven't really put in the work to discover how serious the research around these things is.

Not every problem is one of scale. And with the advent of serverless, problems relating to scalability will be largely abstracted from 99% of developers in the future and more of a niche knowledge domain. Just as the inner workings of the OS are largely not well understood by most developers

Obviously the principles and theory behind scalability is still important for properly structuring your app, but there won't be many novel problems to solve, and increasingly obvious architecture choices as time goes on

> If you see toxic Tweets, that's because you follow people who post toxic Tweets or engage with toxic Tweets.

This only works if you treat Twitter as read only. Any Tweet that reaches a sizable enough audience will have people interact with it and its author in a toxic way. The level of the toxicity will often depend on the specific author and certain types of people definitely receive more toxicity than others.

We should hardly forgive the Saudis for their human-rights violations because they "made the world a better place" by generously sharing their oil.

> Just go look at what Xi has done to the tech titans in China if you doubt

You're right, a corrupt authoritarian government can crack down on the mega-rich (another example: Putin took the oligarchs' extreme wealth, and redistributed it to himself).
This has become increasingly important to me too. I am employed by a small (2-4 engineers at any time) company and I'm often disappointed because we're just so far behind in manpower & technical expertise that we have to dramatically reduce the scope of any problem we want to tackle.

On the other hand, I also worry about getting sucked into the bureaucracy of FAANG sized companies & not having any accountability or agency over what I work on. (I realize this is a sweeping generalization of FAANG, but some of my peers have had this experience even a few years into their jobs)
Like everything in finance, simply talking or threatening something is enough to make it real. The actual pill or action is rarely ever wanted or needed, it’s like the meta verse of bluffing.
2021 Annual Letter – Social Capital
I agree 100%, but balanced against the fact that many devs need laptops from their employer, and it's way easier to get a good macbook that just works good enough for development than a linux machine. Especially when you don't control ordering, or need to inherit machines.

Dev on Mac and deploy on Linux is a popular setup for a reason. Until there's a macbook pro for linux that you can just buy*, it's going to continue to be popular.

I fully agree that twitter has problems and that escaping a local maximum might be just what it needs. That said, given what Elon has said, I am skeptical that he thinks twitter is in a "local maximum" or needs a real shakeup. We'll see tho!

On the plus side, the article accidentally produces the most useful definition I've seen of AGI.

That's not really how it works. The most important tweets are links to long-form discussions. It's a discovery platform. Sometimes the poster will include an executive summary in a thread. That's helpful, too, for deciding if you want to follow the link.

A lot of academics are on twitter, and it's a reasonably good way to find interesting new work. It has problems, but the character limit isn't one of them.
Yeah, but nothing stops you from serving twitter.com from a CDN on Mars for Mars users, right?

They'll even have netflix, if you think about it. Not youtube thought.
Well of course not; but generally speaking, Twitter is an outrage factory as soon as you venture outside of your curated experience.
I just asked: Muting would make it so you couldn't see their part in conversations, which is a problem for their non-toxic content showing up in conversations that you're a part of.

What do you do when someone somewhat important in your industry puts out 20% abusive/toxic content (and that 20% is probably 90% of their engagement)? If you ban them you create drama, if you mute them you're still cutting yourself out of potentially important non-toxic conversations.

But when you don't ban/mute them twitter seems to want to constantly show you their hottest hottakes-- the very reason that you're not following them. (I'm not even sure if muting is enough to prevent the recommendations).
> People have locked interest rate and can re-fi 1-2 years with lower interest rate.

Hmmm, that doesn't make sense. We don't know if rates will be lower in 1-2 two years, than they were in 2020-2021. People who financed mortgages during that time probably won't be interested in refinancing, since the rate will likely be higher.
collectively? yeah, sure. this is absolutely probable in any organization of that valuation/marketcap, the most interesting thing here is just how fast crypto organizations can accrue and extract value.

tech sector is fast, crypto subsector is like an order of magnitude faster. its similar to tech employment in the 90s where there was fast vesting (mostly due to quick exits), liquidity at super low valuations that then rose extremely quickly and attractive compensation. the main difference now is that the valuations are much much higher. you can tap in sometimes/often at very low valuations - of the token - and also ride them up all the way to billions valuation very quickly. if they solve a market need (within the crypto space) then they attract value very quickly, sometimes that market need can just be the entertainment coming from hype, but most times its bandwidth since there is not enough blockspace to go around, periodically.
No doubt, dang can moderate this website as he [and his employer] sees fit. That much at least seems beyond dispute.

Highly recommended.

This could have ended up as a few simplified settings, as presented to most users... as we have with light and dark modes. Colorblind themes (for multiple kinds of colorblindness, say), high-readability themes for people who need the large-print editions of books, that kind of thing. Doesn't have to mean making everyone pick exact point values for every type of H tag, or whatever. A few presets in a dropdown could be really helpful—again, just look how everyone goes nuts over something as simple as having a "dark mode" setting.

Ya, you might actually be the only one. I quit years ago when all of the mostly interesting web design ppl I followed started unironically outrage baiting their followers. People I had largely met in real life. After I unfollowed them, I found that Twitter decided it was ok to fill the gaps with content from people I didn't follow, but were maybe at best tertiary connections, and also embodied the same crap. Every day I'd check, and some bullshit would be telling me I don't feel bad enough for X or I'm not mad enough about some world issue
I use the official client and don't have any of the issues you describe. I'm pretty sure the crowd you follow & engage with is the issue.

What is? Assuming you need this in "virtually every country", and some of the richest (such as Germany) fail to implement alternatives, you expect "less thrustworthy" to somehow manage it?

And again, how exactly blocking nuclear plants in Germany changes anything here?
Yeah have seen it happen as well, with other products though.
Who said anything about physical collateral?

I can make an unsecured line of credit available to you, and until you try to draw on it, you don't know if I have the ability to fund it. Same problem if the loan is supposed to be secured by your car. There is no magic you can come up with that changes that. Now if you are smart, you'll have done some diligence on me, and I might have a credit rating you can look up. Or someone in your org might be tasked with analyzing the credit and liquidity risks of all their counterparts. If it worked like magic, no one would bother doing this... but they do.

Correspondent banking makes up a tiny percentage of bank to bank settlements. "merely collateral optimization" makes the central bank role sound almost meaningless. Having credit risk and liquidity problems is kind of a big deal.

As for the comments on what the central bank is doing - it doesn't change the fact that banks can't make money out of thin air. If you look at the link above/below for WFC's balance sheet - every asset on their books is funded by real liabilities (plus some equity).
