> The standards used by traditional media outlets — like fact-checking, bylines, datelines, and corrections — have not been fully-adopted by online news commentators on blogs, podcasts and social media.

amusing comment, since so-called "fact checking" is just pure horse-shit mechanism to call something disinformation by using some fake experts that are in your pockets.
I hope this is only temporary. Where else will we discuss AWS outages when AWS goes down?

Not even a joke.
> WSL is part of Microsoft's internal push to embrace open source.

WSL is part of Microsoft's push to eliminate Linux. Microsoft has always weaponized support. With one hand they support Linux binaries and with the other they force hardware makers to disallow Linux.
If my memory is correct, the entire Peppa Pig[1] TV Series was done in Flash. Many other popular TV series were done entirely in Flash. A good friend and fellow Flash champion, Chris Georgenes[2], did quite a lot of good animations during the early days of Flash.

Maybe there are some downvotes because this branch of the discussion was about whether Musk and Twitter’s lawyers worked together on the termination letter and you seem to have shifted to whether they worked together on the agreement?
One’s the technique, the other’s the goal. Like smash-and-grab and pickpocketing are two different ways you can steal things.
Thanks for mentioning the last major outage. That one was memorable for me as my son had just been born a few days prior. If that had happened the day of, I honestly don’t know how we would have managed it logistically.
Vouched for the sibling reply calling this misinformation because per the police chief himself (as of two days ago) Jayland Walker was unarmed.

That will absolutely be abused by police with no repercussions.

Conservatives have been complaining about “liberal media” since forever. But the divergence in media trust between Democrats one hand and Independents/Republicans on the other grew dramatically in the Bush era, and again during the Trump era: https://www.allsides.com/news/2020-12-31-0913/trump-era-driv...

In the 1980s I assume most NYC news anchors hated Reagan, but they at least tried to hide their contempt.
>What exactly is wrong with this?

It's a pretty obvious way to criminalize citizens documenting police. The police already had the law on their side to deal with people actually interfering in their duties. Now merely documenting them in a way they determine is unsafe is a crime.

>Previously, couldn't cops just claim you were interfering regardless of distance or number of warnings?

They still can.
Elon is pretty straightforward.

The deal is obviously not worth it if a sizable chunk of user are fake.

His first action would be to get rid of fake account and doing so decrease the value of Twitter for him and everyone that join him.

It’s better if the value decrease now to reflect reality, then buy at a far price and improve from that point.

I think the deal might go own at a much lower price. The lying is going to get out, the value of Twitter will then have to be evaluate at the current economic level.

I made the comment that some of our web portals could run off of a raspberry pi perfectly fine, and I wasn’t necessarily suggesting we go do that, but merely trying to get the point across that we don’t need 700 interweaved AWS systems to do what a single host with Apache + Postgres has been doing fine for years.

>how big did the fulltext table became for x entries on wiby.me

I want Wiby to be comprised mainly of human submitted pages, so for 99% of the index, only the pages submitted by users are indexed and no further crawling was done. However I recognized that not having the capability to crawl through links would not make it useful for others, so I added in the crawling capability to my liking and tested it accordingly. I imagine others might want to depend heavily on hyperlink crawling for their use case, but there is a tradeoff in the quality of the pages that get indexed and the resources they require.

>and what is a common response time on N amount of searches per minute for this dataset?

Hard to say exactly as I haven't run many benchmarks, but my goal is to keep multi-word queries to within about a second. Single-word queries are very fast. My 4 computers handle hundreds of thousands of queries per day because Wiby is being barraged by a nasty spam botnet with thousands of constantly changing IPs. If I don't keep them in check they will eventually eat all the CPU availability.

>Would you offer a /traffic or /stats page within about/ ? duckduckgo shows traffic, not index stats though.

Probably not on mine since I don't get enough traffic for it to be of that much interest to me. I privately use goaccess to get a general idea of daily traffic.
This is an excellent recommendation, thank you for putting it forth.

The bigger story (if you can get past the juicy Elon-a-drama)… is

Twitter stinks.

You can smell the <insert_elon_poop_emoji> in their ad program a mile away and it’s finally free game to call out.

I remember buying Facebook ads once and I got more likes than God and not a single one of them seemed like they were “real”. Maybe they were “mDAU real” or whatever…

These company’s are liars and have been ripping people, small and big business off for years.

Google ads, search ads, Twitter, Facebook, Snap, TT, Reddit, Yelp, etc… it’s all stretched fake engagement. We all know it and have known it for years — if you’ll admit it or not.
This reads like a sudden kick to a friend in the nads and then telling him "you're a pretty good guy". What is the point of a post like this? It's not balanced at all if your last statement is to be considered. If you don't like the country then just come out and own it.

The twitter board has already announced it intends to litigate this. And they are not after just the $1B fee. That might be what Mr. Musk had in mind when he mentioned he was lawyering up in a few tweets awhile back. Even though he waved due diligence, that might not clear twitter from having lied about the bot problem. I suspect this is going into months of litigation. Perhaps Twitter will be willing to accept a lower price. It might be what Musk is angling for.
Yeah, I had this type constraint system for doing that kind of thing, so I can load a file at compile time to get the type structure and then compile/evaluate to process data in the file or files. Same thing for network connections between communicating processes (type constraints at compile-time decide a protocol, machine code at run-time assumes that protocol).

Because we have seen decades of organizations lying and bullshitting, they have no credibility whatsoever. There is already a lawsuit against them for rigging auctions[1], and a DoJ antitrust case [2] against them.

Jobs are the last domino to fall. The strong jobs report was actually bad for some segments of the economy(i.e. the stock market) because it enables the fed to continue tightening. The fed has two mandates: strong employment and stable prices. Right now, prices are not stable. The strong jobs allow them to focus on bringing stability back to prices. That means tightening. Unemployment will likely need to top 5% before the fed backs off. We are just getting started in the tightening cycle.
If architected correctly, stuff deployed into aws stays up during all but the most extreme outages.
It can at least go horizon to horizon now. The satellites aren’t geosynchronous. I generally only have one satellite overhead at a time. They take about 5-10 minutes to fly by.
Correcting these problems would involve pretty significant tradeoffs. For example, lowering medical costs includes improving public fitness, which will be branded as fat shaming. Improving maternal outcomes includes health education for girls that makes maternity a major focus, at odds with American feminism. Combating drug addiction involves strengthening borders. Reducing gun violence means discouraging fatherlessness and educating boys to maintain self control at all times, aka "toxic masculinity".

Note that I am not saying that these are the only causes of the problems you mentioned, but they are significant. And I agree that you can go to far with these and sometimes being more free / subject to less societal pressure to conform is worth sacrifices in health and safety. Just so long as we understand the tradeoffs and don't blindly look at perceived benefits of other countries without also looking at sacrifices made for these benefits.
With this code you will start out with a blank index and will have to start making submissions to your search engine to build the index, but you can search the results as soon as the pages get crawled. The video demo provides a practical example.
They are becoming more integrated than they used to be. I just opened a TD Bank account linked to my TD Canada Trust account that I can (theoretically, still getting it set up) manage through my Canadian login.

Before that though there were interest based papers and local news that was hard hitting and relevant, union papers, private investigation, and generally a high interest in journalism that was worth a damn.

very excited to read what Mat Levine has to say about this...
Thanks - BTW I was confused because I'd call that avoiding "wind-chill", or even avoiding "advection cooling" (from a techincal fluid dynamics perspective)... "convection cooling" makes me think of heat loss by warmer air rising, not due to lateral flow. But that's the ordinary meaning - technically, convection and advection are synonyms, so you're quite right.
While I find Fox News odious politically, at least the news desks at Fox News and the New York Times are dedicated to factual reporting, even if bias can be found in choice of story or omission. At least both are dedicated to public discourse and a certain regard for verifiable truth. The scariest by far thing to me is the increased movement towards total trust in media bodies that are happy to live in a realm of utter fabrication and appeal to raw paranoia and hatred of other groups.
The comparison isn't with Gilded-Age era Yellow Journalism (generally 1890s -- 1910s), but the period of professionalised journalism born from Walter Lippmann's book Public Opinion and dating roughly from the 1920s through about 2010, with a significant decline being noted beginning with the consolidation and financialisation of news in the 1980s.

In reality, there's been a long-term secular decline remarkably constant over decades dating to the 1950s and the end of WWII. That's been punctuated by a number of factors --- the advent of television and television news, mass advertising, cable TV, media consolidation, financialisation, the Internet, neoliberalism, 9/11, the US-Iraq War & War on Terrorism, the 2008-09 global financial crisis (which tanked ad spend), and the rise of the smartphone and mobile social media.

I.F. Stone interviewed on the PBS show Day at Night in 1974 spoke of what he saw as a golden age of American journalism in the 1970s, largely with the reporting on Watergate and the Vietnam War. That's the zenith to which the present situation might be compared.

> Unlike CF, AWS does not support TLS1.3. This is not working while HN uses the AWS IP.

This seemed implausible so I looked into it, and it's wrong as stated (at best, it needs to be made more precise to capture what you intended). First, you've mentioned Cloudflare, but the equivalent AWS product (CloudFront) does support TLS 1.3 (https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2020/09/cloudfron...).

HN isn't behind CloudFront, though, so you probably mean their HTTP(s) load balancers (ALB) don't support TLS 1.3. Even that's an incomplete view of the load balancing picture, since the network load balancers (NLB) do support TLS 1.3, https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2021/10/aws-netwo....

It was down all morning, I half expected a post about a trip to Best Buy.
Therein laws a potential flaw in those assuming that the solution can be found in plugging personal information leaks. Just like with e-mail, many (most?) of these scams aren't targeted. If the scam has no relevance, people ignore and readily forget it about. For those for whom the scam is pertinent (and that can be a large fraction of the population at any one moment), it seems like the scammer knew something personal about them. The salience may be purely in the mind of of the potential victim; the scammer is often just blasting out the same crap to everybody. I can't even count how many Chinese-language robocalls I've received, for example, and I neither speak Chinese nor could anyone have reason to believe I do (and in any event, such calls are a common experience, AFAIU).

I mean, most scams work similarly to this. Fortune telling, for example. The scammer relies to some degree on the victim connecting the dots themselves as the scammer lacks the necessary information. This is just especially true when it comes to spam.
>In fact, I lay a challenge: without googling, type the full path of any single registry key.

Strawman.

You can click registry paths and look around, you can search, and sometimes when something is borked, messages in the logs even tell you what registry key to fiddle with.

I've been fiddling with the registry before google was around, so it certainly does not require google or any search. Those only make it easier to share things with others.

>At this point in time Monkey Pox is a known disease and the fact that it is highly transmissible via male on male sex is a known transmission vector. If people insist on engaging in high risk sex with multiple partners while a communicable disease is running rampant, at what point does it become their responsibility? HIV is still a thing too and people continue to engage in this high risk behavior.

Some numbers on said high-risk behavior: Gay men on average have six times the number of lifetime sexual partners as straight men or women (<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3334840/>), and Psychology Today says 50% of gay men in San Francisco have more than 500 partners (<https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-imprinted-brain/...>).

Sure. But without seeing the other sides argument, I have to wonder if their point wasn't that they're not designed to be stable for the purpose of identifying a service/thing on the Internet; things can and do move and change. Hardware failure is a good example of that. Just like a house address, those too are normally stable but people can & do move.

> It was the sidewalks of random streets. The company that owned them explicitly did not intend for them to be a public square.

Sidewalks of random streets are considered to be "the public square" in US law (broadly because random streets are usually publicly owned. You need things like gates and signs and such to revoke such an assumption). The Marsh v. Alabama ruling relied on the fact that the town didn't try to make its streets un-square like, and in fact encouraged public square-like use!

Notable here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd_Corp._v._Tanner, which in the case of a private entity that isn't literally acting like a municipality, they can kick you out!

> In contrast, the historical statements of Twitter make it very clear that they intended to be the public square, e.g. "free speech wing of the free speech party."

You will be hard pressed to take a single statement, made by a minor executive who acts outside of US jurisdiction, in 2012, as superior to the actual user agreements that Twitter has (and had at the time) in the US.
