I'm not as worried about the tracking as much as I'm baffled by how psychological manipulation is now a commonly accepted practice on social platforms. That totally obliterates any trustworthiness they could present as a business. Children suffer the most in this fake celebrity game.

I use these apps a lot because I promote music I make... I don't really use black hat techniques to do so, but many people who do are completely robbing creator funds and getting far more exposure than most of the honest and most talented creators all combined. The platforms favor memes and things that don't promote any business outside of the platform, so it's made psychological manipulation and subtle suggestion very popular in pretty much every video. The endorphin rush people used to get is dying as videos turn more and more hostile and shockingly towards influencing viewers consumerism habits.

I think ethics are everything though, so I don't leverage my black hat development knowledge against platforms just to be heard, and don't waste tons of money on ads like the highly viewed accounts do... Accounts try to manipulate you into giving them your money, the platforms work to manipulate you into giving them your money for ads, it will eventually wear itself out once the money dries up or people catch on that most people on these platforms aren't really making good money, except for the platforms.

I try to always post non-psych-manipulative music related things for followers as well as cynical shitposts in protest as the platforms slowly direct my views towards overseas viewers that will never really purchase nor stream my music. It's rather grim, but I'm sharpening my video editing skills, and it motivates me to keep making music that I can take to whatever slowly corrupted social shit show comes next... touché!
The classic YC advice is "make something people want." This video dives into how that looks in practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C27RVio2rOs

The guiding principle is simple, but in practice it can be hard and complex.
I... What?

It's not Facebook. Even the examples of the post include non-Meta. It's not "some work". It's how we conceptualize time moving linearly, and that logic encoded on software.

People just want a reason to dig on Meta.
Thanks for the description. Sounds like you mean power hierarchies, which as you say are inevitable.

From that point of view the best 'solution' would be to spread power as wide as possible. I think in reality the reason power hierarchies are useful is because spreading power too wide leads to Ochlocracy.

In the same way democracy is good or bad depending on the level of rationality, morality in your population; but for modern society I would say it's mostly bad (e.g. if you let the average man on the street 'solve' climate change he would lay the foundation for a dystopia)
party on....
> One explanation might be that it’s an expected effect of the blurring of social boundaries today. In the past, if the size of your community was finitely bounded (like a village, or an aristocratic social class), people didn’t enter or exit these communities as frequently. Under these conditions, sanctions are probably still effective, because members of the community want to be liked and accepted.

This is the center thesis of the article, we haven't evolved beyond our evolutionary physical bounds. We look at likes of Kardashians/Paris Hilton/Kanye and react with knee jerk reactions rooted deep in our biology. But it doesn't matter. Tribes exist in ways we can't see or touch, and the "shameless" understands how to harness that power.
> I am honestly am still having trouble accepting that a mirror designed for a telescope to look no further than a few hundred miles is identically focused to infinity precisely like similar telescopes that are designed to peer with a lower bound of at least millions of miles.

Consider the 2.4m lens to be the base of an isosceles triangle with a height of 100km, the edge of space and much lower than the satellite's orbit. This triangle has two angles of 89.9993 degrees. If the lens was 10cm thick and you wanted to taper the edges to match this angle, you'd need to bring in the near edge one micron, or about 1/50 of a human hair.

100km or 100,000 lightyears, they're still effectively straight away (focused to infinity).
The Dijkstra, Lamport, Martin, Scholten and Steffens "on-the-fly" collector [0] is the most inspirational, I think, with its analogy of "colors" for objects. Baker first designed a serial "real-time" copying collector [1], showing that three areas in copying are equivalent to the colors; then I think the lists of objects in the Treadmill are supposed to correspond to those areas in the copying collector. Instead of moving objects and advancing a scan pointer to change the color of objects, objects are rearranged in the doubly linked-list.

I prefer using the alphabet for all writing, because emojis are not freely and universally available everywhere :)
What about it? If you can't trust it, you can't trust it. You either control it, don't control it and don't care, or don't control and it's a moot point. Nothing you deploy even needs to use "real DNS" to look things up; it could just set up a TLS channel with an IPv4 rendezvous.

The idea that everyone else should have to use a DNS transport that ISPs can filter to downgrade back to being snoopable just so you can feel better about what your Chromecast or Amazon Stick or whatever does on your network doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I don't mean to put a bunch of stuff on you that you didn't say, but this is a very common pushback to DoH, and it makes no sense.
well uhh fuck that. its only like $1740 and the reasons they list for getting rid of cash is exactly why we need cash.

Switching to a new company and leaving the familiar is a big decision to make, it's understandable. You have to get to know a whole new group of people, prove yourself again, start on things that are new and unfamiliar. It's comfortable to stay where you are, that's why companies can get away with not hiking salaries for those who do stay. So once in a while, you have to make yourself uncomfortable to know what you're worth, and what you can do in a new environment!

If you're lucky, you can go somewhere new where you know a couple people. And then you can bring others with you to form a group you trust. And build it over time.
I've had several chances to switch positions for considerably more than I make now (40-50% on my current six figures), each time I've turned them down.

I am happy and content where I am at, the job has good work life balance, it is for a good cause, and I make enough to provide comfortably for me and my family, this employer is also very stable so I don't have to worry about economic uncertainty.

All in all I could make more money but I have found a level of contment and peace and it has allowed me to persue other hobbies outside of tech and serve in my local community.

So maybe I am stupid and leaving money on the table, but I have found peace for now. For those who feel they need to make more I tell them congratulations that is awesome for you. But for now I am happy.

The Law of Average
I’d also invite anyone interested in this space to look at both the rule for World of Warcraft addons and their evolution over time. Many actions are doubly rate limited. Not only can you not spam a single action, you can typically only call one rate limited API action per event handler. So you can make a button that can do one of three actions depending on state, but if a second fires it generates an error.
Last I checked the divide was public vs private repos, so no
+1 for "I don't know what that means". I think I'm the target demographic, but I don't feel like can effectively compare the pros and cons of this product with something like MailChimp with the information available on the site.

I'd love to see a clearer breakdown of the features:
- how come I trigger an event instead of sending an email directly? It seems like a neat abstraction with a lot of potential, but I haven't found the reasoning behind it in the site.
- what can I do with workflow automation? Can I do complex logic based on multiple events? Can I do branching logic? Etc.
- why wouldn't a larger company choose you? What's missing that's present in a more established product, and what advantages do you give over that product? I'm assuming cheaper and simpler, but I'd love to get a better idea about the now specific tradeoffs.

Overall, it seems like a really cool idea . I have a project in mind that I may use it for
Funny he don't mention recruiting engineers hate it but is what the OG's did.
Firstly, 1.3 billion people ain't nothing.

Secondly, most people in the world know China can ship hand-sized objects to their country and aren't above reselling.

Thirdly, in many countries it seems that postage from China is cheaper than postage from across the country.

This seems to me to be an officially deniable launch. A beta-launch as it were. A way Intel can say "Well, we didn't release it to you because it wasn't ready for you..." while still actually having launched it and having the whole world tell them what they need to fix.

But a release is a release. So they should be judged on their product. Which so far seems lacking.

I have hopes for the future though as they work on cleaning this mess up.

Beautiful, thank you! It’s been a while, I don’t remember the layer of her old lover dying at all.

Stellar acting by doing of the best of that era.
I suppose an easy way to do it is to have a little drive wheel sticking out about where the license plate is, and as the front wheels turn inward, one of them makes contact with the drive wheel (like the capstan or pinch roller in a reel-to-reel tape machine). But we don't see anything like that in the video.

I think if this is a real thing and not some kind of rigged demo, there's probably something weird about the rear differential or rear drive wheels. Maybe it has an alternate mode where you can't go forward, but the wheels spin in opposite directions when you apply engine torque? I'm not sure what would be the easiest way to do that. Maybe there are two drive shafts, one for forward and one for spinning in place? When the latter of the two is engaged, the "normal" drive shaft is locked in place by a brake forcing the wheels to rotate in equal and opposite directions (due to the differential) and the other drive shaft powers one of the rear wheels somehow.
That's the crappy thing about internal comms is it's permanent (me looking like an idiot). But I'll get stuck on something/spin in circles and I'm just like "f it I'll ask" and I tell myself don't be poor/ready to be fired. I'm not a stellar dev that's a fact.

More than this, it sounds like a serious net negative to me.

Legit users who had modded their clients to have some perfectly fine features (such as performance enhancements) are SOL - they aren't gonna risk it just for features they've lost, they either gonna live with whatever's left or just abandon it entirely.

And those with malicious intent are gonna just work around the anticheat (because why not - what they're doing is most likely was some bannable offense already) and continue. Yes, there's some barrier but just the other day we had a thread where DMA hacks were mentioned (and PCIe cards for that are pretty cheap) - does EAC has anything against those tools?
> CKOT-FM and CJDL-FM (Tillsonburg) were not able to air live programming from 4:45AM EDT to 10:58PM on the same day. During that time, evergreen programming was aired from an MP3 player at the base of the transmitter until an Internet connection was re-established between the studio and the transmitter site

I'm impressed they went to these lengths to get services up!
All mena countries with more than 5 million muslims are fucked.

And actually yes it was in fact literally the President of France Francois Mitterand himself who gave the green light to the Algerian military to cancel the second round of elections after the Islamic party won the first by a landslide. Civil war ensued and along with it massive emigration towards France.

This is may be not a productive comment, but I just wanted to chime in that Avalon is my favorite game, and it's a delight to see its strategies discussed here.
The market (software/system builders) say that locked down platforms like the iPhone are fabulously profitable. Sorry.
Doesn’t change the fact that you are either double processing or separating and processing. That lowers the efficiency and means you have two production lines you’re managing, with separate processes on each one. More kinds of inventory, more experts on staff.
>These two comments aren't really contradictory.

No, I think the phrasing of the statement is misleading. It implies that TikTok (or some Chinese boogeyman) is the one making the decision to "poison" American Tiktok viewers. That isn't the case; the two cultures are different - China may ban choose to ban twerking videos on social media platforms but the US could not do something like that without infringing on free speech.

The people want twerking videos (TikTok did not invent "sex sells"), whether or not tiktok gives it to you is a function of the countries government, not some Chinese mastermind.

That said, I don't think the statement is globally true. I opened TikTok just now on "unpaired words"[1], I've never seen a video on transitioning and I get plenty of educationally curious content. This content does exist on US TikTok and is being promoted; you just have to be interested in watching it.

Only if you have incompetent people. Everyone overlooks things but forgetting to commit a change is on you. Ideally the rollback would revert the network state.
You might have to come up with something custom.

Here's one idea:

1. Wrap your processes in systemd services or something similar, where it's possible to determine the status by pinging it.

2. Write a script to periodically (via cron maybe) ping all relevant services, and store the statuses somewhere (file, DB..)

3. Another script (or the previous one) to read the data from 2 and spit it to a locally served webpage.

> if possible, also spawn them on schedule

Cronjobs.
It seems hacker news isn't ready, or perhaps just not capable of handling this discussion. And yes, the jokes are low-effort juvenile and uninteresting.

The whole claim is suspicious; what comes next? "Did you know you can get pregnant from sitting on a toilet seat?". Ridiculous.

Surprising nobody, I will chime in and say the same thing. In particular, I've seen "we should be investing in new public housing" repeatedly deployed to oppose dense housing developments where I live; it's a deeply cynical thing to say, because not only does it demand that prospective residents be locked out of the area until we boil the ocean with some revolutionary new top-down housing policy, but the only reason the NIMBYs say it is because they know it won't happen --- if it did happen here, they'd be up in arms against it.

I'm not affiliated with a16z in any way, so I can't speak for their thoughts, but I do know that it isn't uncommon for VCs to have an "IPO or nothing" point of view. They invested in Clubhouse at a $4billion post-money valuation with what I imagine was/is a belief that it could be a $40billion exit in the future.
Very cool. Also, did you add that feature just in response to my question?

As far as the download, is this equivalent to "Method 2" of downloading it via the built-in browser, so it's not in the Kindle Library and won't have a cover, (but it will still remember the reading position)?

Thanks for the support.
> restrict navigation in the South China Sea

China's aim is, quite clearly, to prevent the US Navy from operating in the South China Sea in the case of a war. That's not a question of freedom of navigation, and the US "freedom of navigation" operations have to go out of their way to go near the islands China claims.

China is additionally interested in the resources under the South China Sea, just as all the other countries that occupy various islands and reefs are. This, again, is not an issue of freedom of navigation.

China isn't about to block shipping through the South China Sea.
Agree with this. Even if the story and writing are a bit twee, there are heaps of details in the cinematography, lighting, colour, audio, music, VFX etc to appreciate. On a related note, this video showed in my Youtube feed this morning:

What is acceptable I wonder. So far I've done it every 2 years. Not really on purpose, I just get tired of my role and look for something new.
When they are offered there's usually an alternative snack offered. Most common seems to be pretzels and or a cookie of some sort. I had a non deadly peanut allergy growing up that I outgrew so never really acquired a taste for peanuts, I'm always grateful for the alternatives.
It doesn’t seem possible until you do it. I couldn’t imagine my book over iOS would net what it has, but a bit of luck and trust built up over the years made it a success for me.

The challenge, as I see it now, is how to prove you’re not out for a quick buck. Because everyone is selling something at this point - for better or worse.
>I've been wrecking my brain how to make $10 on anything online

If you are really serious about $10 (and not some other larger number), here are some tips:

* Pick a topic you know really well (programming, cooking, sea diving, whatever)

* Make an infographic (get started on the topic of your choice, some specific and useful practical tip, etc) - picking a template from free tier Canva will go a long way in producing a good looking graphical post (you can even do animations)

* Put this up under pay-what-you-want model on sites like Gumroad (so, minimum price free but users can pay if they wish) - see https://mathspp.gumroad.com/l/cheatsheet_list_comps_101 for an example

* Post a sample on sites like Twitter, Reddit, etc (just the nice looking graphic, add a link to Gumroad later in comments if the posts start getting attention)

* Make a video to show demos (if applicable)

* Be consistent! Give it your best shot for topics you are really confident about. Listen to feedback. Learn and Build in Public for better reach (see https://swyx.io/learn-in-public and https://chriscoyier.net/2012/09/23/working-in-public/)

This was true in the 60s and 70s for Jap cars, they didnt make them to rust, they just didnt rust prevent like they do now. Go watch youtube and watch some rust belt mechanics like south main auto and u will see what what cars rust and what cars last now (hint, US made cars dont even last 10yrs with salt)

I personally drive a jap car from the 90s and 400+k on the clock. I can fix everything myself including rebuilding anything i need. My wipers arnt controlled by a CANN BUS, they use a simple mechanical switch. There is a new killer on the block that makes corrision look like childs play - its called computers. Cars these days are literly THROW away with the amount of electronics on them. Replacing the guage cluster on a new econo-car like a hyuandi can cost upwards of 8k. Instance write-off, doesnt matter that the engines wont lost 150k, because the electronics that manage it are discontinued way before that. Got a broken wire in your loom? thats 5k to replace.

No one is blaming the robot, but that doesn't change the fact that it's clearly not fit for purpose unlike a back hoe. A robot is expected to be smarter than a back hoe as it works autonomously, especially when it is designed to be operated near a child.
Trouble is, shame is not a decision, its an emotion. While one definitely can adjust ones emotional responses, it requires a lot of time and effort, and cannot be rushed too much.

Whenever I feel “shame” I can ignore it and perform the action anyway, but at least for me that incurs a cost - the feeling of said shame can intensify. Even if I know that it was totally justified and there’s nothing I _should_ be ashamed for - I can’t directly control my emotions.

This leads to my “rationing” of shame, where I pick my battles to make sure the outcomes are mostly good - where I feel the shame feeling was not justified. Overtime that can extend the range.

Alternatively I can “exert” myself - forcing me to perform a lot of shameful actions in succession, which can _easily_ lead to “burnout” where I don’t want to do any other action other than joy seeking and relaxation for a while.

A cute but still relevant example: I was urged and I went to a dance congress for a dance I was just a beginner of. Now I am generally an experienced dancer, just not that dance in particular.

It took me a lot of mental effort to ask partners for a dance since I know I’m much less skilled than most and I felt a bit of shame every time.

Now logically this is weird, since most dancers would prefer dancing with a beginner, rather than not dancing at all (I’m doing the leading part of the dance so I’m expected to ask followers to the dance-floor). Some would actually enjoy dancing with a shy guy and showing him the ropes. Buuut I still felt shame and each time I asked someone it became harder and harder. Two days into the event I just couldn’t force myself to do it and had to bail early.

A more shameless person would have stayed and danced and learned a lot, and thats rational. But we are emotional creatures and need to take that into account, when making rational decisions too.

So I try to be shameless when possible, but keep some “shamelessness” in reserve for when I really need it.
If we rephrase the question as "Does CCP suppress or ban LGBTQ content?" then I can easily see the answer being yes.
I call it outrage marketing. I twerk, talk about my pp and spent about $20M on luxury stuff just for flex value. I bought the world's largest diamond, $10M of watches and $3M of cars. People hate it and keep watching. I wish that people cared at all about the $27M I raised for charity. They do not.

The top dark pattern Instagram employs is sending you internal notifications that you cannot turn off no matter of your notification settings. If you have multiple accounts it’s guaranteed you will have a little red dot sitting there making you switch to one of the accounts to clear it. I absolutely hate this and it’s going straight against their imaginary goal of being a responsible company that supports mental well being, screen time and other ways of getting a mental break when you might need it.
