Mechanically any user with sufficient karma can click "flag" on comments, enough people clicking that and it get's flagged and people without show dead on it don't see it.

I didn't flag your comment, but I came very close to doing so.

Personally I couldn't figure out what you were trying to say. What am I supposed to be deciding for myself? Are the organized groups you're referring to companies trying to use GPL code without a license? Groups trying to use the GPL as a tool to get access to other companies closed source code? IP lawyers trying to make a profit? Something else?

Flagging nonsense (as in literally not-understandable comments) seems like the right thing to do to me. I would have flagged it over that, but for michaelmrose's reply that indicated that they at least managed to parse your comment.

I'm also generally very wary of the phrase "decide for yourself", it's not objectively incorrect, but it comes across as asking people to ignore better informed people's opinions, which is the exact opposite of what you should do when reading comment sections on the internet.

I think another commenters point that you're making fairly baseless accusations against people who like the GPL might be correct, but that didn't weigh in to my decision to flag it or not because I honestly didn't (and still don't) understand your comment. If I agreed with them that that is what your comment was doing, I would have been more likely to flag it - because insulting groups of people rarely leads to fruitful discussion.

Hopefully that helps...
I don't understand why the display in Teslas are always so jumpy/glitchy.

For example the road. Sometimes parts of the road turn on and off. Or cars and pedestrians jumping all over the place.

Doesn't Tesla do some kind of estimation where objects will be next?
Right-wing politicians have been weaponizing the term in recent months: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2022/03/12/florida-... ; the #3 Republican in the house is throwing around the term "pedo" in a similar context. https://twitter.com/EliseStefanik/status/1525187193702055940

I can understand the confusion. That said, Discord and similar places have genuine grooming going on, largely unfettered.
The article makes excellent points on this very topic.
That looked kinda scary. The other cars seem reluctant too.

I wonder how you would "patch it out" in FSD software and then have cars not run into holes.
Better, rather.
Anchor protocol always retained the full amount of each UST deposit, plus additional rewards (whose funding was external to Anchor), so clearly Anchor is not a Ponzi, as I thought you were implying originally.

Would you assert that any undercollateralized currency is a Ponzi? (Seems like stretching the definition to me.) Or that any system with unsustainable rewards is a Ponzi, even if there was no expectation that they were sustainable?
> There isn't a problem.

I agree.

> The initially apparent problem is […]

Why would that be a problem? If it’s because the second law of thermodynamics says that it cannot happen spontaneously in a thermodynamical system in equilibrium why would that be applicable when we’re not considering just a system in thermodynamical equilibrium?

As Maxwell wrote: “This is only one of the instances in which conclusions which we have drawn from our experience of bodies consisting of an immense number of molecules may be found not to be applicable to the more delicate observations and experiments which we may suppose made by one who can perceive and handle the individual molecules which we deal with only in large masses.”

Analogies compare dissimilar things in the ways that they are alike, not the ways they are not alike. The trading patterns and supply and demand pressures are the ways they are alike, whether you respect why such pressures exist or not.

Edit: Looked deeper into it. It's a really weird story, where it looks like they got hacked (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jul/27/russian-c...), he tried to fake financial data to make it look like they had money, and he got caught. In the end, he's making more money off of lying and the original investors are screwed. That's really lame.

It's also unfortunate, because a lot of the vibe I get from crypto people I run into (more online than in-person), is survival of the cleverest, and anything is cool if you can get away with it. People I knew outside of crypto who are into it (more on the eng-side), are pretty cool, though and usually don't only trust Bitcoin and see most alt-coins as scams.

I'm pretty sure this is how we are going to get sophisticated autonomous weapons. Everyone is screaming and shouting how dangerous they are and then some dude wants to get a quick laugh or prove everyone else wrong and inadvertently creates a high quality weapon.
Cool! Can I see what sort of mathematical model you use? What inputs, what outputs?

What are the fundamentals?

I know you don't have any such thing, just a "hunch" that you believe is authoritative.
First, taiwannews.com is not even remotely reliable for anything related to mainland China. This is the same outlet that claimed the Three Gorges Dam was about to break last year. Taiwannews.com loves disaster stories about China, and isn't afraid to invent them.

Second, all these stories about China supposedly concealing deaths in the Shanghai outbreak came out just a few weeks after cases began to rise. Back then, there were only a handful of reported deaths. A few weeks later, there have been over 500 deaths (roughly in line with what one would expect, given the number of infections), and these claims of concealing deaths look pretty silly. Deaths always lag cases, and there can also be reporting delays.
How much knowledge in indigenous North American cultures (for example, because it's what I'm more-familiar with) has been lost in the ongoing Euro-colonial steamroller? That knowledge is not gone, but the oral and practical traditions have been significantly stressed. If we care about existing for another, say, fifty thousand years it seems likely the knowledge, skills, and abilities from the last fifty thousand will be useful, along with the wisdom to set and respect some limits.
Hello :)

Would capturing and sending OpenTelemetry metrics from the PostgreSQL codebase using the Fluent Bit C library + the OT plugin require a separate process on the host at runtime?

(in other words, does the library ship those events to a collector/transmitter process, or is everything handled in-process?)
YotaPhone-style devices always seemed like such a great idea. The back of a phone is 90% useless, and the front of a phone is largely useless in direct sunlight.

I never understood the argument why crypto was a good store of value. Sure, it’s an ingenious new transactional system, making global payments mostly frictionless, etc, but that’s true whether the value of 1 Bitcoin is $1 or $50,000. If everyone’s just converting back to fiat anyway, only keeping enough BTC transiently to settle transactions, why hold it long term?
All software sucks because deadline >>> functionality/usablity/accuracy. No matter how hard management insists that this isn't the case. In fact, the more they insist that it isn't the case, the more you can be sure that it is.
I was curious about the whole list (don't know what I don't know, right?). Fortunately, the website is user-respecting and pure-frontend, so the list can be viewed with a little JS:

const canEat = [];
const cantEat = [];
for (const item of myObject) {
const name = item.name.split(',')[0];
(item.value === 'YES' ? canEat : cantEat).push(name);
}

One item I found in "can't eat" is cicada, which is amusing because I would never have thought to try! The distinction between French Fries and McDonalds French Fries is also interesting.
Nobody got paid yet. This is going to drag out for a long long time.

I also think the BTC-E issue is bigger and gives me reason to think Mark Karpeles wrongfully served jail time in Japan (for the reason that he served time, there could be other reasons if people like that kind of consequence).
Metaprogramming, yes but also pure objects. Ruby has that Smalltalk heritage in a way no other language has. Also the fact that it focuses on developer happiness makes it a way more pleasant language to use compared to say Golang or Rust.
I mean everything is a bit oversold right now

Everythinig was way overbought when considering the money for those past purchases came from an accommodative Fed that flooded the economy with $9 trillion that currently sits on its balance sheet, lowered interest rates to literally 0 and the government sending out stimulus like it was candy.

All of which are either done or ending.

So I think a better way to phrase it is that the market is repricing with the new information, it isn't oversold.
Sorry but you are wrong. Useless documentation, useless tests and useless arguing definitely exist, period, and they are tautologically bad. Maybe you haven't had the experience of working in such an environment where those things happen, but claiming they don't exist and twisting someone's words is absurd. Also, those wild uncharitable and provocative interpretations are also against the HN guidelines.

Actually paper fiat currency is accepted by a government to pay property tax. In this way you need it to keep possession of land, so the entire land value of the linked country, and all the infrastructure built on it, is the backing for 'fiat' currency.
Non-inertial reference frames do not abide by the special principle of relativity or global Lorentz covariance. From the article: "energy isn’t conserved in situations where gravity warps the fabric of space-time, since this warping changes the physics in different places and times, nor is it conserved on cosmological scales, where the expansion of space introduces time-dependence". The principle of covariance (see General covariance) in GR implies "local" Lorentz covariance such that the Lie group GL4(R) is a fundamental "external" symmetry of the world. But, the fluctuation theorem has no such requirement and does not imply or require that the distribution of time averaged dissipation be Gaussian. FT (together with the universal causation proposition) gives a generalization of the second law of thermodynamics which includes as a special case, the conventional second law. When combined with the central limit theorem, the FT also implies the Green-Kubo relations for linear transport coefficients, close to equilibrium. Given general covariance along with the differentiable notion of time and space geometry requires linear transport, then its validity would be dependent on the applicability central limit theorem. In addition, the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation relation is limited to chaotic dynamical systems
with microscopic reversibility when the fluctuations of a suitably defined function of the phase
space trajectories, taken as a measure of violation of
the detailed balance, i.e. of entropy production, are
measured.
The article is just clickbait. The title is obviously clickbait (based on your edit you've realized that "active account" !== "accounts that tweet"). Then they try to define active account:

> “Spam or Fake Twitter accounts are those that do not regularly have a human being personally composing the content of their tweets, consuming the activity on their timeline, or engaging in the Twitter ecosystem.”

Ok, but "consuming the activity on their timeline" is essentially unknowable outside of Twitter, since you can't see what tweets people are viewing. It turns out they're trying to infer this through some other signals like follower count, etc. But you can imagine why that might be sketchy.

Then they constrain the analysis:
> A more fair assessment of Mr. Musk’s Twitter following would only include accounts that have tweeted in the past 90 days

Let's be real, if you look at a list of Elon tweet replies, they might as well all be spam. Just search @elonmusk and sort by latest. Then compare that to the sorted tweet replies under an actual tweet. IDK how many millions of dollars and man-hours went into the AI that sorted this list, but it seems to just be putting the blue checks at the top and shrugging at the rest. I doubt this three man team is doing any better at spam detection.
I wished more companies would improve the world
I think California might be defined by the kind of reasoning this couple exhibits.
It's worse than that.

Every dollar taken out of crypto is at the expense of someone else. Those coiners trying to change $1->$2 are heavily incentivized to lie, manipulate, and convince the naive in the public to put their $1 in.

You could say this is everything with a public market, but with stocks or bonds you also have a legally binding contract to organizational assets that have value. Buybacks, issuing new units, dividends, etc. provide other avenues for cash injection to get your $2 out.

BTC doesn't even have the bare minimum regulation to prevent bad actors from exploiting the public, which is why it's worse since the public only sees coiners trying to whitewash an inefficient database.
You can choose whether to store the values or to compute them every time in SQLite

But in terms of the overall performance budget, for a mobile app, I don't think the choice matters much. JSON in SQLite is fast and even in the case of "storing every generated column with a lot of user data", I imagine the app binary is going to be larger than the database it produces.
Either way, you don't own it.

I just find it hard to believe Musk really wants to own and run twitter, he seems to actively hate it and is trying to tank its value.
> what's wrong with the other 2 of the "original 3" gLTDs: .net and .org?

I find it interesting which TLDs took off and which didn't. I see exceedingly little use the venerable of .biz and .info, for example, yet .co has seen broader adoption in a shorter time frame.
Unfortunately my dog is somewhere between "brat" and "so fraught with digestion issues" that she gets the fancy stuff with a mix of dry and wet.

In the hopes of this not being entirely low-quality reply: sometimes the fancy stuff is needed / better, but also I think younger people especially want to give their dog something good and not feel like slop that the dog doesn't enjoy. I personally wouldn't give a normal healthy dog any of the mega-brand stuff because of how much filler and crap there apparently is.

I'd much rather feed my dog a custom raw diet than subject them to bunch of filler and grinded up bones tbh. Pet food brands have a steep hill to climb to shake off the impression it is just like garbage-tier materials grinded up.
Funny enough, "you need $2000 for a good PC" held from mid '90 up to the end of '00. After that you could assemble "good enough" for less and less each year.
My guess is they're looking at the node interconnect side similar to what Bloxroute is doing. This infrastructure will be extremely important as blockchains grow in size and speed; CDN-type utilities will be needed to broadcast transactions on the network, prevent DOS attacks, receive notifications from events on the network, and more.
Wow, a lot of this is conceding that Flatpak is bad or flat-out wrong... I hope this person was just misinformed, because if this is the argument for Flatpak then I don't see much of a way forward.
> Yeah, as soon as you start customizing emacs (which is the whole point of emacs), you run into bugs. Everything is always slightly broken all the time; I don't think it's actually humanly possible to fix this -- too many parts. Fix one thing, another thing breaks.

There's no difference between an advanced emacs config and a software project.

If you don't test or incubate features long enough before your workflow depends on them you'll find yourself building atop more bugs.

I find tagging releases of my emacs config useful for this.
Some sites say 15, some say 12.5. Tablespoon quantities are typically rounded up to "heaping" as well, so who cares? It is clear from the ancestor post adults are healthier without all this sugar.
Well, the reason you have so many of them is because the cars are dumb and need to be linked to a specific "smart" operator. Thus everyone who needs go places also needs to have a car, a 1:1 mapping. If you move the smarts to the car, then you can change the ratio.

But isn't this public transit? Yes and no. Public transit solves this ratio by at the cost of transfers and fixed lines and lack of comfort. Only autonomous EVs can have the rider to driver ratio of public transit, but the point to point and seating comfort of cars. Autonomous EVs can work with cities as they are, not as a minority would wish them to be.
The story ends inconclusively. I was expecting to know what the bank's reaction was or if they ever addressed these issues.
>But ... why is that the case? Why _doesn't_ an ultra-strict lockdown for this long prevent spread (and allow existing cases to resolve)? What are the remaining opportunities for it to spread?

because it only takes one infected individual to infect the whole world. that's what the Wuhan patient zero did, according to the official legend. 3 months between the fated bat soup and worldwide lockdowns.

covid is here to stay forever. that's pretty clear now, 2.5 years in. despite a global hysteria and massive financial incentives to develop tests, vaccines and treatment, objectively we have pretty much nothing. things are as bad now as they were two years ago, just with much less hysteria in the media now that they thankfully got something else to screech about

> Data portability is a huge value prop: Everywhere you sign-in, you already have all of your data.

No. No you don't.

1. Below you claim that "Only you (or anyone who has access to your private key) can access your data."

So when you sign in somewhere, that "web3" app still has no access to your data

2. Just the fact that you have your data does not mean it's portable.

Fake is kind of a weird way to describe valid combinations of usernames and passwords that can log into Twitter.com. I would assume that if your account hasn't been disabled for whatever reason, it's a real Twitter account.

Twitter, however, does call these accounts "fake" and has further rules/policies concerning Misleading & Deceptive Identities.
