That’s really interesting. Thanks for all the details. I think every mega social media site has serious problems such as these that stem from the fact they don’t have enough humans in the loop. TikTok is so different though it has surely created its own new blend of problems.

I think the game they are playing is hoping new users and creators pour in faster than burned and burned out ones leave. Which is sad, but from an economic angle makes some sense.

In a way they are promising a service they can’t possibly deliver on. It would (presumably) be unaffordable to have top-notch moderation and customer service.

I think some day we might decide it’s not legal to run a site so big you cannot possibly police it.
If you think about this, the design is similar to that of a suspension bridge, and the curve formed by the support cables (the catenary wire in the case of rail electric feeds) is the same: a catenary arch.

We could send people and vehicles over the cables themselves. And in most cases, some people (usually bridge workers) do in fact walk along the cables.

But the suspended roadbed tends to trace a much flatter curve than the cables, which is more readily traversed by vehicles. A train's pantograph or trolley's contact arm similarly prefers a flatter contact path.
That is very lovely. Well done!

> As a manager, how do you determine who deserves a raise and whose hiring was a failure?

IDK, manage? I let go of anyone who is determined to have been a 'hire [that] was a failure.' I also look back and try to figure out what failed in the hiring process. Luckily I haven't had too many failures, because it sucks to let people go - even if they deserve it. Admittedly, I also have never had to hire at the scale of a FAANG.
The architecture doesn't matter? What are you talking about?
The belief that a brain simulation is just a graph made of nodes and links is cringe.
We have zero idea what the program that runs in a node is, and we can't even simulate a single cell physically.
Maybe one day experts we'll be able to prune what kind of proteins are useless for computation and are only needed for the survival of the cell but we are not there yet and we won't be there until ~a century given that this kind of research is inexistant you can't find a single paper that attempt to identify the relevant regions and proteins involved in neuronal coding.

The only things we have for now beyond receptors are CGMP and CAMP and their modulation by phosphodiesterases. That's not enough, not at all. Although it's true the role of phosphodiesterases is understudied.

And it's NOT about size and sCaLaBiLiTy lile deep blue propaganda make people think, the C.elegans has only 150 neurons in its CNS, 300 in total, and no one has built a simulation. It's true that some receptors are lacking and will only be found in the next decade because of underfunding (because of e.g deep blue) but even then it will not run.
That just means it’s not a well-defined function (i.e. each input is mapped to only one unique output, which is not the case here).

As other posters write, “idempotent” means that recursively applying the function returns the same result, e.g. f(f(x)) = f(x). (The site is also indeed not idempotent, since entering a shady URL will not return the same shady URL.)
On a case by case basis yes, but in aggregate many people end up staying because they're risk averse.

The game the company is playing is trying to walk the line where the amount they're underpaying the risk averse who don't leave more than makes up for the turnover cost.

From an engineering perspective we know this leads to worse outcomes in terms of velocity and code quality, but those things are not quantifiable in a way that satisfies the bean counters.
Could have, at least, be a NFT
Interesting they mentioned the stat that only 20% of people actually pay for news.

I looked at newspaper circulation data from the 00s in Melbourne[1], and it seems the same was true back then. Looking at 2005, for example, The Herald Sun and The Age (which for all intents and purposes were 100% of the newspaper market) sold a combined 700k issues each weekday, out of a population of 3.5m.

Perhaps the phenomenon here is more about 80% of people getting their news through friends, family, co-workers and other social connections rather than subscribing to a professionally edited news source.

How I use DecSync for my calendar without any central server:

Radicale runs only on localhost. Syncthing runs only on the local network.

The synchronization only happens if the computer and the phone are on the same wifi network.

It may not work perfectly for all people in all use cases, yet ... but I have to say I appreciate and admire Apple's initiative and the values that this approach reflects. They didn't have to do this. It's not obvious that it immediately helps their bottom line. It does seem like the right thing to do for individual privacy. I appreciate that and it contributes to my overall respect for the company and its approach.

I wonder why they chose those organs. As someone studying the ovary I feel pretty left out (not only by this dataset, it's also missing from the other atlases).

Still this will be a great resource for many other researchers.
>They are simply forced to pay market rate for new hire, that's all

That's kind of tangential to the point of this conversation though. They're forced to do so via turnover rather than proactively raising wages, which hurts them far more in the long run.
Given that we’re (probably) talking about non military leadership, leaders must see themselves as guides and supporters. They acquire resources, protect against distractions, nurture and develop, translate corporate goals into action items, carry issues upwards and, yes, discipline. But “in charge” or “in control”, no. Maybe “responsible for”, but those in the military can’t tell their superiors to go perform some quaint anatomical impossibility and leave.
I was critical of them initially, but when faced with that sort of thing a lot of people will dig in & go into complete defensive mode.

Whether or not that was their initial reaction it takes some effort-- and they did it-- to step back, evaluate, and correct course. It's a credit to them that they were willing to accept the criticism and fix a mistake.

Giving proper credit to community contributors is very important. There are often few perks beyond personal satisfaction for taking the time & effort to help improve projects. Public acknowledgment both validates that effort further and also provides a sort of 3rd party "certification" of it that is a more powerful boost to a Vitae & professional standing than the individual noting accepted pull requests.

> Private entities can make whatever rules they want for their property as long as those rules don't break laws.

Yes. At the same time, people can use whatever publicly accessible resource in any way they like, as long as they do not break any laws.

The crucial point here is that the object of this discussion is a publicly accessible API. That, by design, comes with some elementary rights which cannot possibly be revoked by the fact that the API's provider puts something into their ToS. One of such rights is the right to use these APIs.

When someone uses these publicly accessible APIs and based on their experience then makes logical reasoning and conclusions about how they work, it might be considered as reverse engineering. But I cannot imagine how could a thought process be legally forbidden by any ToS in any way.

When someone then publishes their findings about the functionality of this public API, they are merely publishing the results of their reasoning based on facts that are publicly available. It is in essence a research result based on publicly accessible input data. Again, I cannot imagine how could such an activity be legally forbidden by the existence of some ToS.

> terms in which someone is offering a service to you

This service is offered as a publicly accessible API in the first place. The fact that someone might enter into a contractual relationship with the API's provider and therefore have their rights restricted is irrelevant for the purpose of this discussion.

Its main topic is the usage of this publicly accessible API without any contractual agreement.

If someone claims that a mere usage of some publicly accessible resource immediately constitutes entering into some contractual agreement, such provisions need to be supported by the law. And I am unaware of any legal obligations to agree with the publicly accessible API provider's ToS before using the API.

The API provider can put almost whatever they want into their ToS. The important part is whether or not it is backed by the law.

> …plus I found I would sporadically get connection issues that I resolved by turning it off.

Not defending Apple in particular, but connectivity will decrease with every extra hop you make in your connection; you'll notice this when browsing the internet with tor (or, heaven forbid trying to use IRC over tor).

it makes sense that you would have more connectivity issues when using any kind of proxy; and it would get worse with every extra layer of proxy.
Hardware decoding avoids license fees by anything that uses it. The fees are paid by the manufacturer of the hardware doing the encode/decode.

Right. If you think about it as a function of the state itself, the 2 definitions agree. If the function is `f(x, state) -> (y, state')`, then f is "imperitively idempotent" when `g(state) = f(fixedX, state).state'` is "mathematically idempotent"

> When you're hungry try eating a large salad (a clean one that is, no sauces, or oil).

This is very important. The same goes also for many kinds of sauces added to meats. They are very, very tasty. But aside from their calories, a critical issue I have with them is that they interfere with your sensation of satiety. They just make you want to keep on eating. In my case, this tends to mess with my "hunger" signal: I get the feeling I haven't eaten enough, or I get hungry shortly after the meal. It's usually not actual hunger (I just ate a steak or whatever), but it does make me think of food and give me random cravings.

This basically never happens when I eat my food nature. [0]

I think this mechanism is a big factor in people's objections around "being hungry all the time". And yes, it's very distracting if you need to work, and even more so if you're just hanging out with nothing to do.

[0] I actually tend to liberally add "dry" condiments (think pepper, oregano, etc). The taste is, of course, orders of magnitudes less "intense", but they don't mess with my feeling full after a regular meal.

- Yes, you can bookmark the story through favourites on official website, but you can not bookmark one comment, which also pulls all of its replies.

Let's say that you comment on some story that has over 500 comments, and sometime later you want to see if someone replied to your comment. In the original website you'll have to scroll all the way down to find your comment and see the eventual replies. In this app you can do this much more faster because you can bookmark your comment, and then later see if someone replied to you.

I would say that one other benefit is that you can choose between two UI's (classic and modern - which is a bit more readable), and both of them have dark and light themes.

I doubt it. Housing is one of those problems that is quite easy to solve and the fact that poorer countries can do it while the US can't must be because of nefarious. The same shit is said about developing countries having a lower COVID death rate than the US, "they must be hiding a lot of bodies." In fact, it is quite hard to hide a lot of bodies.

The fact is the US does poorly on a lot of metrics and we have the capability not to.

> 1) I try to prevent it by not putting myself into situations where my judgement is compromised. With hunger, this most often means never waiting too long to nourish - I've got to feed the body before the mind starts producing urges that aren't consistent with healthy outcomes. Less often, this means not being hung over and heading for a fast food breakfast.

Yup. In my case, I find that not having foods that "I shouldn't eat" (think sweets, etc) in the house at all is better than having to deal with my urge to eat those.

Also, tied to the previous point: don't go shopping for food when hungry. This helps with not having those foods in the house. "I'll control myself this time" has basically never worked for me.
