this is exactly the idealism thats causing problems -the energy futures in germany reaches the highest price in recorded history, the industry is being decimated and it's importing gas from a tyran that has started a war on Gemany's doorstep. Without Europe's gas dollars he would not be able to fund it's millatry and 12 million ukranians would never become homeless refugees.

Not every app needs a token. But it's an alternative way to fund a project, one that any dev on earth can do, and any investor on earth can fund, and the team can remain anonymous if they want. Not passing judgement on whether this is a good thing, I'm just stating how it works.

This highlights the real Achilles heel of the nuclear industry - it is a labour efficient power producer that it doesn't employ enough people to guarantee political protection.

We ended up with a group of people who would benefit a moderate amount from cheap power, and a fanatic anti-nuclear lobby that succeeded in scuttling decades of progress. The more motivated group won, as is predictable.

It is amazing watching Europeans trying to achieve energy poverty in defiance of their technical head start. The energy figures out of places like the UK, France and Germany are startlingly bad (eg, [0]). Especially considered per-capita.

This is a variant of an XY Problem. The original question was, to paraphrase, why the website sucks. One answer given was that the site (a game wiki) had too much unofficial content compared to official content. Now the question becomes why an official/unofficial annotation on each page isn't working.

I don't play the game, and until today I have never visited the site. But I doubt that the solution being discussed will have any material effect on the original problem.

For that to happen, one of your friends would have had to willingly allow this tool to scrape their social network, which would include your private posts.

The two broadest classifications I see are Geothermal Power Generation and Geothermal Heating. These each have further subdivisions (and may be combined, as in a generation-heating facility, fairly common in Iceland).

Generation can be divided in several ways.

There are vapour and fluid-dominant systems, which refer to the dominant phase of the heat-transer fluid (water in all cases I'm aware), that is, liquid or steam. I'm not aware of any gas-based heat transfer, though you might want to add CO2 to your list as a potential working fluid. The phase-transition of steam from hot to cold side achieves much of the delivered power, and you'd be missing out on this with a purely gaseous medium.

There are also both naturally occurring and enhanced sites. The former employ some existing geothermal site on Earth's surface, typically geysers or volcano. The latter can be sited anywhere, using a borehole. The difference being that drilling is far more expensive than tapping into an existing near-surface structure. The system Homer-Dixon is describing is a very deep borehole --- tens of kilometers rather than a few thousand meters.

Geothermal heating utilises the direct thermal potential of the ground, rather than generating electricity (or as an adjunct to having generated electricity). These concepts range from existing / opportunistic siting such as hot springs or hot baths, to technically-coupled heat transfer and/or storage through heat pumps with a ground-loop component.

There are also passive designs which simply utilise the insulating capabilities of soil or bedrock. Thick-walled adobe or stone structures thermoregulate by sheer thermal mass (possibly with other elements to increase or reduce solar gain and airflow). Sub-grade, semi-underground, or backfilled structures operate similarly. Seasonal thermal energy storage may be incorporated into single structures or at a community level in which excess summer heat is transferred to a thermally-stable geographic strata, and recovered from the same in winter. This requires that the subterranian layer not have a substantial heat flow, e.g., groundwater which would convey stored heat or cold away.

There are also structures which exhibit an unwanted thermal effect over time. Many deep mines are hot and require active cooling of airflows. The London Underground subway system runs through rock strata which have absorbed heat from equipment and passengers for over a century, and whilst initially cool, is now unpleasantly warm. Plans to actively cool not only the void space (air) but the surrounding rock are now being explored.

I remember getting educated about MUMPS when we were researching about health informatics and interoperability in my PhD programme. My superviser said it was the earliest record system and also most reliable one. I was then opened to a rabbit hole of sophisticated electronic standards for health information exchange and standardisation for multi-domain medical knowledge/terminologies in hospitals. To this date I think it's still pretty much the same status quo if someone is to do research in this area and go for an introduction.
That's the root of the problem, it usually isn't.

It's not odd because the result is on top of PGO. You would never adopt this approach if you did not already have PGO. The gains from PGO will be much larger.
Good for you. Normal people do not want posts shared privately amongst friends to become publicly available.

No, with the caveats of being mentally and physically able to do something about it of course.
I've been using htmx since the intercooler days, but I'm of the opinion that just using Next.js and treating React like simple HTML is much easier for starters.

Or Alpine, but not htmx. Learning all those attributes (30, not counting the HTML headers and the JS API and the CSS classes, and events like htmx:historyCacheMissError) is not as simple as some in HN make it out to be. Just look at the most basic example in the top here: https://htmx.org/docs/. Meanwhile Alpine is read much easier, and has half the amount of attributes (15): https://alpinejs.dev/. Also look at the interactive component example from React: https://reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html#making-an-interac.... It looks easier if you don't hate JS.

Of course, I respect that some avoid JS with passion, but I don't buy that it's simpler. It's juss less javascript-y.

There are two cases they brought up, one being web scraping and the other is making a clone website publicly displaying content from Instagram.

I think Meta might be mixing up these two cases here on purpose to make it look like web scraping is as bad as stealing photos to publish it on a clone website.
KarmaCall was built on nano and so was FynCom. Building apps without tokens removes the speculation [ and the volume of activity associated with it :( ] and lets you focus on your core business models.

At a recent online event, I was asked to talk "what is the riskiest thing about building on crypto". The answer I gave was "it can distract you from your core business model, from making your customers happy".

EDIT: I echo your sentiment though. I wrote something supporting your thoughts (I think?) a while ago. Do you think this is a similar sentiment? [1]

I sometimes refer to Every Noise at Once when I'm looking for the right music as background when I want to focus. https://everynoise.com/

For me the music has to hit a balance between being engaiging enough but not too abrasive, sometimes lyrics can completely derail my focus but I focus better when I have something to listen to to drown out the sounds of conversations and people around me when I'm trying to read.

If I'm doing something that doesn't require too much focus, like cutting things for a collage or cleaning, I can listen to podcasts and songs with singing. But if I need to read, write, or think about what I'm doing I generally cannot have the sound of someone saying something I can understand, sometimes if it's not a language I understand it can be fine though.
Misleading title as he is still, currently, the Prime Minister of the UK. It's theoretically possible for him to stay on as Prime Minister even without being party leader, which is what he resigned from.

Though it would be quite a wild, and probably unprecedented, way of staying in office. Because it undermines the cohesion and legitimacy of the Conservative party itself.

While what you are saying is all true, in general terms, but the key story seems missing: The "top of the funnel" system is very much fighting to preserve itself.

- Insurance companies are in bed with hospitals to collaborate swindling money from the govt: read about kickbacks sent by the US Govt to hospitals as Disproportionate Share Hospital payments.

- Hospitals have a PR arm moving profits to defend their monopolies, including using SALT rules to create barriers to entry by geography.

- Hospitals also use govt rules against it. They were able to obtain an absolute advantage over all other players (ASCs, Independents) by getting the vaulted nonprofit status, which independents cannot get.

- Hospitals use their nonprofit status and barriers to entry to buy out competition: nimbler independent providers that are actually able to lower prices.

So, hospitals create their own rules, drive out competition, and create monopolies that leads them to hoard cash, which then they use to buy out competition and mire them in 1970s technology so we all pay more.

Then there's also PBMs, and Insurers. That's a story for another day, but plenty of blame to go around.

I post that hospital systems are so large, that at the bottom, Hanlon's razor may apply, but at the top, there's incentives one cannot ignore - and a lot of prejudice to keep the game as-is.
I dislike big tech as much as the next hacker, but this seems like quite a leap. Protecting from nation-state actors digitally can be a job for digital powerhouses. In this case, the hackers are just very determined hackers with a lot of resources. Apple is a very motivated company with a lot of resources. Slightly to your point though, they have higher income than 96% of the countries on the planet. So they have the wealth to establish an Appletopia.

I went to Venice in 2015 IIRC. Took a ferry over from Croatia and stayed a couple of nights. Interesting city, definitely worth checking out, but I'll never go back. The bird/pigeon poop problem was so bad I threw away my roller luggage once I got home.

Is this actually private data, or is it public stuff that's become annoyingly hard to view anonymously because Meta chose to stick it behind a login box?
Homebrew content in D&D can be ridiculously poorly-balanced compared to officially-published content, which is required to go through at least some internal testing by the game's managers and designers.
I don't have a source for this, but my recollection is that this has been successfully argued by a couple of companies—but then an appeals court found very firmly that it was not the case.

Essentially, having that be true would mean that any given website could create whole new classes of criminal behavior.

> most commenters wouldn't want their posts shared privately amongst friends to be scraped and made available publicly.

Where's the "posts shared privately amongst friends made public" part? There are two cases here:

1. A service that logs in as the customer (who voluntarily provide their credentials) and scrapes information visible to said customer on their behalf. Nothing about "made available publicly" is alleged.

2. An individual using a pool of bot accounts to scrape posts visible to any logged in user. Nothing about "shared privately" is alleged. To be clear I don't like the method, but I'll also have to admit I've used one of the Instagram "clone sites" in the past thanks to their login wall.

Unless I missed something, it sounds like you just made it up.
"By large enough", you mean 67% to attempt to do it with some chance of success, and if it fails it gets slashed.

Not to mention that no one would be interested in using any network where this level of centralization could pose a real threat, and the most likely outcome of such a scenario would be a loss of the value of the native token.
For me, it's all about text. I spend my whole day staring at text in some form - email, code, etc. A good high DPI display creates a much better text shape for the same physical size text on screen (and doesn't have as much of an issue with trying to snap vertical text to actual pixels, etc).

It makes reading a lot easier for me - and vastly decreases how tired I feel after a day of it.
For those thinking that this is just another version, note that 3.2 is a stable version, with 3.0 having been first released almost nine years ago. In the interim, I'm sure many people have used 3.1, but now you get all of the fun enhancements without an asterisk.
They used to have one on every page, but the creator of the website (for some reason I was never able to figure out) hated how it contained authorship information so he removed it from every page.

My own wiki puts the "this is homebrew" information in said infobox, and has never received a single complaint about people mixing up homebrew and official content.

I agree with the moral argument against posting the scraped data publicly, but if someone gave my account access to their data, I don't think they have a moral right to say I can't use a script to do something private with it.

Scripts are tools, and like any tool they're extensions of the self. If it's morally okay to do it by hand, it's morally okay to do it with a script, so long as my script is respectful of server resources.
React.js is the gateway drug for you to dig into frontend development. I myself mastered it in 2 weeks as a backend engineer. There's no simple way, there's only the first step. Good luck.
In the early days of FB, they convinced people that pages (or some content, sorry I do not know the FB terms) could be public for anyone to view without needing to login to FB. This was very helpful for small businesses and communities. In many countries this is still the quickest place to make a public page. Though now, every small business or community page I want to visit is locked out unless I login FB. Even if I do login it is impossible to copy paste the important details of a page or post, plus the UI is as ugly as it has always been.
Was also confused by that for a moment. It's so large to the point I was vaguely annoyed by how much screen space it used.

>but what a given user spends their attention on

I want to point out, since I have not seen it elsewhere in this thread, that user's do not need to be on the internet at all. Does no one remember what it was like to be bored? With respect to living everyday lives, social media addiction is becoming an issue. Instagram specifically is a huge item.

So it would be contradictory to say Meta is responsible for manipulating its users and successfully furthering people's addiction to social media in general, while also claiming that people are using meta products with time and attention that would have been spent on the internet anyway (0-sum).

Are they or are they not incentivizing people to spend more time on social media than they otherwise would have?
I love that site, discovered it a decade ago.

Integration with spotify is also very cool - whatever genre you find, there's a spotify playlist filled with songs of that genre.
