I read that title and was quite confused, thinking "they do have a free plan..."

Anyway, I understand your concern with this huge monopoly. As far as I know, there really are no competitors. And while I can imagine being worried about the company's future trajectory, I like the way they do stuff now. They are very open about stuff, and they have an interesting blog.

That 20% figure makes some sense to me because a lot of small websites use it because it is affordable (the low, low price of free), and is so valuable to being able to actually get down to the content creation.
Your argument for "spaces" and "communities" goes out the window when moderators of subreddits are forced to make sure their space adheres to what Reddit wants. That's not your space, it's Reddit's. No one is stopping subreddits from moderating how they want, the problem is when they are forced to moderate how Reddit wants. Furthermore, your "communities" and "spaces" are nothing more than an excuse to create echo chambers, which are not productive for free speech either, but that's just Reddit for you.
This is one reason why I'm still down on Apple's decision to remove 1/8" audio jacks from iPhones: they took away a decades old "just works" standard that wasn't subject to interference or battery or latency issues and replaced it with something that fundamentally is. Their efforts at filing down the sharp edges here with the airpods (and they have done as well as anyone could expect and more) don't change the fundamentals.

"Get a dongle" -- maybe I will when I finally give up my original iPhone SE, but I'm not going to be cheerful about paying an extra $30 for the privilege along with the overhead of keeping track of an additional thing.
This post is the best example of this website: crappy. Who cares about this loser? Not even his two dogs.
Yes, but he's so decoupled from reality that if he wants to do that any pretext will serve so I don't think this will make a difference at all. Putin will do what he thinks he has to do regardless of the rest of the world. It's well beyond logic by now. Russia will suffer for decades after Putin is gone on account of what is happening today no matter how much worse he makes it.
We've had moral panics around Dungeons and Dragons, Satanic cults, the war on drugs, etc going back longer.

I could totally see the trend being accelerated by a lot of things. Sure, 9/11, is one possible trigger, but it could also be news sources getting better at optimizing for sensational takes and - more recently - the common person using the internet/social media to amplify troublesome anecdotes to the point where they seem like pervasive trends.
I think some variation of this is a great idea. There are lots of reasons why people want a cheap and bare bones place to stay. Personally I would only consider something that has a locked door, but in many ways the picture looks much nicer than many of the circumstances I saw friends living in during university. If there is a demand for it, what is the problem? It is only acceptable to have a larger more expensive place?

(Edit: I didn't think about the bathroom, you'd (a) want some kind of cleanliness guarantee, and (b) need a non adversarial booking mechanism to make sure you had it in the morning. 14 people using n<14 bathrooms all tryint to get to work in the morning is not for me)

As for eating bugs, I (no doubt unpopular here) think forcing any kind of vegetarianism (including insects) on people is one of the few acceptable reasons to take up arms and fight back. But offering them to people that want them is cool. If you want to eat crickets and live in a pod, who has standing to tell you no?

I would say twitter threads need robust support and the edit button is sorely missed.

But yes in a way the paralysis that Twitter is in is interesting in a world where everything is being changed always all the time in agile cycles. Twitter feels like it just exists and this is the way it works.

Could we use a superconductor here instead of copper in order to achieve further wire shrinkage? Eg, if it were to be operated in a datacentre where it's plausible to power the cooler needed to keep it cold. The amount of superconducting material would be quite small

Not sure where your kids attend but where we have ours it’s ok for them to take pictures and upload to a private portfolio only available to individual kids parents.

Then there’s a blog where pictures are allowed for kids where the parents pre-approved that they could upload to the blog (available to all parents).

However, yes - parents aren’t allowed to take pictures - of kids other than yours.

> it will drive millions of people away

I don't see this happening. I see the opposite. With free reign to post "anything under U.S. law", content on Twitter will become even further optimized to get the most eyeballs. You'll see things that make you so mad that you just HAVE to reply. And on and on it goes.

Surely you've seen those Twitter/Youtube/Insta ads that would show a trivially easy puzzle (like, toddler-level easy), and show a person somehow failing it. "Can YOU solve it"? the add entices. Obviously. Of course you can solve it. It's designed to be brain-dead easy to cast the widest net, and to give you just that brief moment of discomfort while you watch someone ELSE fail (as scripted). And you want to dispel this discomfort, so you click on it (or, more likely, you scroll on, but you better believe that other people click on it).

It's like cigarettes. Everyone knows they kill you in the long run. But boy do they tickle those neurons that make you want just one more.
There are pro-Russian accounts on Twitter. I don’t know about right wing US but I follow Marco Rubio. I don’t know how you’d get removed just for being right wing.
Trying to write off the rest of the deaths as improper sleeping doesn’t really make sense to me - that’s like saying that since the majority of strep cases can be treated with broad spectrum antibiotics, therefore MERS doesn’t exist.
Goals in the context of AI aren’t the type of thing you’re arguing against here. AI can absolutely have goals — sometimes in multiple senses at the same time, if they’re e.g. soccer AIs. Other times it might be a goal of “predict the next token” or “maximise score in Atari game”, but it’s still a goal, even without philosophical baggage about e.g. the purpose of life.

Those goals aren’t necessarily best achieved by humanity continuing to exist.

(I don’t know how to even begin to realistically calculate the probability of a humanity-ending outcome, before you ask).
Says a random internet post. It takes a little more evidence or argument to be convincing, besides hyperbole.
That's like telling someone that for the price of a new BMW S1000RR motorcycle, they can instead buy a really good Honda Civic, because a Honda Civic can carry more passengers, you can sleep in it, it is more reliable, safer, cheaper to service, holds resale value better, more versatile when it comes to different weather conditions, etc. You are missing the point that those in the market for BMW S1000RR are often aware of all those factual advantages that a Honda Civic has, they just prioritize different factors in their choices than you might. Someone who is looking to buy a motorcycle isn't gonna suddenly be swayed by looking into all the factual advantages a Honda Civic can provide over a motorcycle.

Despite both items serving fundamentally the same base purpose (getting from point A to point B for cars/motorcycles; making music for OP-1/your list), and one of them is cheaper overall and on paper has a lot of factual advantages, they might simply prioritize different things and both be extremely good at different things they prioritize. I, personally, love the workflow of the original OP-1 way more than almost the exact list you produced (because it used to be pretty much my setup, except I used a different midi controller).
Ok that sucks. If they do a scan, at least use the radio that's not in use so it doesn't affect the one communicating (e.g. use 2.4 Ghz when you're connected on 5).. That would be a good way to avoid this latency hit.

Also, I'm assuming Maps only does this when it's open, but Apple's annoying tendency to keep an app running when you close the last window (with the exception of system preferences and a few others) makes this very hard to diagnose. While I still used Macs a lot I would always close apps with Command-Q for that reason. This behaviour would exacerbate the problem as the user isn't aware that the app is stil running.

Apple's reasoning is I believe to "not worry about open apps, the OS will handle it". But it doesn't always, I often get prompts that my memory is full and I have to close something now or else... And that is with me being rigorous closing apps. My work buys only base level machines with standard ram, unfortunately.
No shit.

Twitter is filled with extravagantly paid Product Managers with thoroughly mediocre (at best) results. Vine is a great example, but think about the complete lack of imagination when it comes to Musk's idea of charging users $3/month. I would absolutely pay that to be on a Twitter free of bots. And wow, how bad is the data science team at Twitter that they can't spot the OBVIOUS bots all over the site? When you see what they get paid, that's what makes it pathetic.
Far more people can afford iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air than can afford any Tesla car.
Try to keep up. The person I responded to was specifically talking about humans ingesting antibiotic medicines, so my claim was responding directly to that behavior. If you want to try to prove that cows taking antibiotics makes humans more obese than they otherwise would be, that's fine but it has nothing to do with the original claim about human medicines.
As someone who has used this (to enable a single function to be called either preemptively or cooperatively by a surrounding VM)... It's not leaky. To be frank, until you've actually done it, it's hard to see.
Nope!

Some infants respond to a drop in oxygen by stopping breathing all together, instead of breathing faster or trying to get more oxygen. It is thought this is leftover from time in the womb: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2015.0022...

Anything that reduces how much oxygen the infant gets can potentially trigger this. So while it might be "there was a pillow the baby managed to roll into", it could also be a mild allergic reaction, acid reflux, a respiratory virus or insufficient air circulation. None of those things would be enough to be a "cause of death", because they were just the trigger for the infant's brain deciding to stop breathing.
Often the antenna is shared - its a relatively large physical thing. And it can't really be shared except time-shared I believe.
Musk’s idea of “anything that is legal” is a terrible idea, it comes from someone who’s clearly never moderated a community.

Generally any unpleasantness and lack of civility needs to be moderated out in some extent, or the platform gets completely taken over by trolls and normal people leave. That’s just the end result. Anyone who’s been involved in online communities know this.

I see this in subreddits. The subreddit of my own country is poorly moderated and virulent in trolling and insults. But you look at something like AskHistorians and you see academic level content. NeutralPolitics is the only politics subreddit that isnt instantly toxic. Why? Moderation and rules.

It’s astonishing how far you can move the content with moderation.

A rule I’ve learnt recently and really loved is - every community can be judged quickly by how comfortable women are in it. The first sign of lack of moderation is male sexual harassment - because that’s the first thing male assholes do. You have to deal with the assholes. Assholes exist and are relatively common. If you allow assholes, women leave, and when women leave, you can tell something went wrong.

In the common scenario of a single user, on a single user machine, running programs under his uid, the benefit is basically zero.

If such a user wants to run untrusted programs, he'd use a virtual machine anyway.

So, I think it's very easy to overstate the benefit, and your comment did just that.

I've done what you've described, but I've also bought books/albums/movies based on recomendations or whims, not got around to reading/watching them for years, stumbled across them and loved them.

At that point I'm glad for my foresight. I just need to have a range of good stuff easily available when I'm looking for something so I can pick what attracts me in that moment.
Interesting. So do I get this right that if you use such a model, you essentially don't have much control over the output other than that it's similar to your training data, because your input is just white noise? Or is there a way to bundle this with another model that would allow you to generate images based on inputs like 'dog with party hat'?
No, the "benefit" part is that you get full salary and benefits while you're not working.
I think the media is the worst. They love any controversy so they will pump up whatever side is more dramatic.

Then of course once the rules change they will pump up how ridiculous they are.

People think they can win, but they are really just fueling the media.

A lot of cybercrime is like that, the police are very incompetent at handling it. I've seen a criminal literally logged in with their personal account (with 2FA, home address etc.) and the case was dropped because they wouldn't/couldn't identify the person. I don't think they even attempted.

Botnets are annoying to dismantle even within the EU, it's not even illegal in some countries to not remove reported malware.

I view such legislation as an excuse to their general incompetence.
They're OK with the risk of their child being kidnapped. I don't know any parent that would be OK with their child actually being kidnapped.
It absolutely does. Especially if folks are in the habit of opening the door before the microwave shuts itself down.
My methodology for discovery/linking subreddits when I did a big crawl was to look at the subreddit description and find links to other subreddits. I think that was less prone to the issues that other commenters are reporting.
So you don't have proof, just more ad hominem and appeals to authority.
It’s even worse than that. This stuff can show up in background checks. Just being arrested, regardless of guilt, shows up and possibly prevent you from getting a job.
> The money they have now could potentially buy more in the future, but at some point you have to actually buy the thing you need or want.

This might be true for food, but a lot of our economy is based on investments and things we don't strictly need. Why would I give money to a startup if I can simply leave it on my bank account and have a guaranteed return?

> Conversely in in an inflating currency scenario yes I might spend the money sooner than I would otherwise, but then in the future I won't be able to spend it again, why is it so much better that I buy today instead of tomorrow?

Because it keeps the money in circulation. You might spend the money, but that money then gets to a business. This business also doesn't want money lying around, so they might, for example, build something. Which gives the money to a building company. Which then gives the money back to the worker. That's a lot of movement and value creation. Also, you really want to spend or invest the money sooner, since you won't get as much for your money if you buy something tomorrow instead. With deflation, this whole reasoning is reversed - why would you spend any more money than necessary, if you can buy much more with it tomorrow? You wouldn't and this kills the economy.

The tone of this post suggests that if the author simply just shipped, they would be as successful as the competitor.

Building successful products is not a matter of “shipping” but also promoting, selling, continually improving, studying user behaviors, providing customer support and engaging potential customers.

Given that the author wasn’t even motivated enough to ship when all these other tasks weren’t even applicable yet, I can’t imagine they would be motivated to do all the work after shipping.

Frankly, this is a good thing. I’ve never been more stressed than when I’ve managed to ship a product, picked up a tiny number of paying customers, and subsequently realized that many hundreds of more hours would have to be poured into the product to make it truly useful.

You slowly start working on it, customers are upset and start churning, and you’re constantly questioning whether it’s worth it anymore to keep pushing.

The most success I’ve ever had was building something I personally thought is fun and interesting with 0 expectations of money or profit, customers be damned.

I’m building https://mintables.club right now, sometimes I pick it up for a few hours on a weekend, often I ignore it for weeks, but I visit it all the time because I love the artwork people upload. There’s tons of competitors that do similar things, even before I started it, but I couldn’t care less.
Heh :) that's similar to the subject of a Mitchell and Webb sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqYyxvM85zU
SNL must be like bad quality candy that is so part and parcel of one's childhood that one can never quite outgrow it or fail to not cherish it, despite now knowing that nearly candy from any other part of the world has superior, wholesome and more nourishing ingredients than the HFCS-sweetened, off-tasting, peanut-packed kind - the only kind - you've known growing up.

For the most part - and with the exception of unintended humor owing to the broadcasted-live nature of the show - I've never really found SNL to be very funny or talented or thought-provoking. I never quite got what the fuss was all about.
Do you have any reason to think this enzyme is correlated with something else? Because the paper has a plausible causal mechanism for how it contributes to the auto-inhibition of Kölliker–Fuse nucleus functionality that is thought to be responsible for most cases of SIDs.
Considering the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is essentially chaired by the two directly, why wouldn't you consider that wealth (that they get nice tax treatment for donating to) isn't theirs?
Was it? Serious question. I just skip the platform based stuff and still do torrents and release groups. Cross platform freedom.

It's been gravy for a dozen years, and will continue to be.

Perhaps all the money you gave them to make unpopular indoctrination themed shows inadvertently led to their downfall?

> The “triple risk model” hypothesises that SIDS deaths result from coincident occurrence of a vulnerable infant, a critical developmental period, and an exogenous stressor.

The finding of a correlation between low butyrylcholinesterase and SIDS looks consistent with an old proposal [0] for the "exogenous stressor": basiclly, fire retardents in PVC contain arsenic, phosphorus, and antimony compounds which are broken down by scopulariopsis brevicaulis, a fungus fond in babies' mucus. This generates toxic gases *which are cholinesterase inhibitors*.

If you go back to the 70s and 80s which, I'd argue, were peak decades for the sheer volume of music talent there was a social dimension which died with web 2.0 and that was shared music culture provided by radio and TV. In the UK programmes such as Top Of The Pops, The Old Grey Whistle Test, The Tube, the John Peel Show were part of this shared culture which was the backdrop of everyone's social life. Youtube and Spotify wiped this out.
> The state and federal governments are both “sovereign,” and the states were there first, exactly like the EU.

To borrow from Mao Zedong, "sovereignty" grows from the barrel of a gun — in that sense, only one U.S. state has been sovereign in the past couple of centuries,* not least because of the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution, to say nothing of the Civil War Amendments and the 19th and 26th amendments (giving women and 18 year olds the right to vote).

And the former Confederate states are a special case: They probably make the most noise about their alleged sovereignty (apart from a few of the low-population, right-wing outliers in the non-coastal West), but they indisputably haven't been sovereign since Appomattox — they gambled and lost in a world-historic example of FAFO.

* The one exception was Texas, which was an independent republic from 1836 to 1845, with its own small army and navy as well as embassies in Washington, London, and Paris; Texas, of course, was one of the rebelling Confederate states that incontestably lost its claim to sovereignty in 1865.
It... usually does? For example, I can plug in an ethernet cable to my router and computer, and it works perfectly fine. And if I unplug, it's still connected, just by wifi.
Can't wait to see how this is applied on "Truth Social".

Lol wtf, why should a product person have any say in programming languages?
This is awesome!

And I want to add that the same applies if you ship it and it doesn't succeed. Because then you either learn that you're barking up the wrong tree or what to try next.

A decade ago I did a startup with a pal who is an excellent product manager. He had an idea that sounded great. So great that we actually raised some seed money. But when we built a basic prototype, it turned out people hated it. [1] That sounds like a bad outcome. But if it's not going to work, then the sooner you find that out, the less time you waste on it.

So yes, ship early and pay close attention to how people receive it.
