Yeah, I don't think the problem is public squares, but force multipliers that certain actors, especially well-funded ones, can employ (meaning mostly state actors, but also corporations and other interest groups) can use to dominate digital public spaces.
That’s a unique take on it, so getting a prenup can help prevent divorce. This will be a good counter argument for when women argue that a prenup just means you’re eventually planning to get divorced.
There are plenty of public places in the US, but the so-called "public square" where strangers gather to debate is a total myth. It does not exist anywhere, and I'm not sure it ever has existed. Certainly not in my lifetime, anywhere I've ever lived.

Friends do gather in public squares to talk or lounge or listen to concerts or whatever. But the kind of thing that happens on Twitter, or on HN for that matter, does not happen IRL. Occasionally there's a crazy preacher who attempts to address a crowd of strangers, but mostly the crazy preachers get ignored or ridiculed. There's no real, serious discussion and debate in the public squares among people who didn't already know each other.

You can go to an open city council meeting to discuss and debate public issues, but those meetings are strictly governed by rules and moderated.
Don't have sympathy for an individual - instead, consider the path this is taking humanity down and consider what happened to you.

A bigtech company made the decision that the voices from your country were not worth being heard so banned you from global discussions. Individuals can also be banned, with no recourse, due to an AI model gone awry.

How do we deal with this and make things better? Legit question - I don't know myself and it eats at me sometimes.
What? Even with the best moderation, humans will periodically brigade a site with awful content because they think it's funny to do so.

Ask HN: Paying for Single Coding Questions Answers
Hi, solo dev here. I often run into small coding problems where I’m stuck but something that is relatively simple but I’m simply not seeing the solution but I feel it would probably obvious to someone else, or at least solvable by someone more skilled than myself. Stack Overflow is not really helpful any more due to rejected questions or situations that are too specific for the site. Any suggestions on where I can turn to get some help? I’m happy to pay but would like a way to minimize turn around time and have pricing that is reflective of the size of the problem (often a single line fix and a total function size of just a dozen or two lines).

Basically it would be like walking over to the person that sits next to me and asking for some advice.
> private property that allows people to congregate for free

People keep implying (and maybe you aren't and I am associating you with them unfairly) that we should be willing to deal with these issues because giving up our privacy/rights is a fair exchange for access to a platform. If people didn't give Facebook access to store and share content that they create, it wouldn't exist.
I was looking for Elixir jobs a few months ago. For me the number of opportunities was good enough, since the nature of the jobs was also more unique and interesting to me. Obviously nowhere near what you see with Java/JS/etc, but with those you also have to do a lot of work to figure out if the job would even be interesting to you, making the job search more stressful.

I didn't need to do hundreds of interviews (like I've seen others do) and instead just picked between a few cool companies. It was quick and easy and I found a place that I so far love.
Having done the merry go round of different languages, it also feels great gaining expertise in an individual language and to utilize new (release) capabilities of that the language.

I agree with your assessment.

> a stack made for a single game is not a game engine.

For a concrete example: the newest Lego game, Star Wars the Complete Saga, had a complete engine rewrite ("NTT") and the new game is the only one that runs it. I wonder what term the author would use to describe NTT, which isn't designed to run a single game or have a community.
Better than BERT: Pick your best model
In place I currently live even retirements savings are part of divorce split, and I don't think any prenup can affect that. They basically add them together and split 50:50, which is often more fair to women who skipped years of work and career building and stayed with kids. Earned before/during marriage doesn't matter in this case.
That’s so predatory most of the options hit them with high fees and such. Even the government stimulus ones were got were scamy as heck. I think you got one free transaction and then got hit with crazy fees.
I agree in general, but that might not be the whole truth. Otherwise there wouldn't be such a thing called "Perlis Language"[0].

Quick... The meat bags are doing that unique thing in history where they discuss and condemn themselves with no sense of irony. I doubt a third party will be necessary for anything in their case other than damage reduction as they exit the universe.

Is anyone doing so? I’m impressed as hell. A chauffeur who invented voice navigation in 1916? I find nothing to be smug about.

Useful for what, and for who?

I think it should be ruled out, but "by any useful definition" is wrong because "use" is at the heart of the matter here.
Maybe 10 years ago this was true, but Reddit today is heavily censored at the admin level.
if you're optimising for those then you might as well learn whatever's most in-demand and popular, probably Python. There are plenty of companies that are good enough though, for most you won't even need to talk to a recruiter.
The law deals with this all the time, but it becomes complex when you cross jurisdiction boundaries. If a corporation wants to operate a public space, like a common area within a company town, you generally have to follow the law on what speech is allowed in that space. If your square is in the US, you have to allow Nazis to protest, but if it's in Germany, you probably have a duty to call the police on the Nazis to stop them. What do you do?

Corporations often operate public squares to their benefit, so I have no problem with them having to follow local laws on what needs to happen in that public square. Google already personalizes your search results, and Facebook personalizes your feed. They can add local laws into that personalization algorithm.

Edit: Updated the example to be correct.
Banned users creating new accounts is not a feature, its a 'bug' that the current platforms are trying to fix.

Ever create a new facebook account? Even as a flesh and blood human being? Lots of folks have tried to do this for oculus and a great number of them were banned. It made the news on HNN. Facebook is fixing this bug now, and the other sites are trying to do the same.

Eventually, when the big tech companies have 'fixed the bug' and your ban is - in fact - permanent and for life. . . what then?

"Don't do bad things" - a simple question... if the 50's/60's civil rights movement was done today on facebook, would MLK have been banned from twitter/facebook/instagram? I think he would be.

If you know a way to fix this, let me know. I think we - as humans - need to fix this sooner rather than later.
Yeah actually I completely forgot about that too somehow. And there are strict libel laws as well
> "I don't want to spend time customizing things to work better for me"

That's me.

I have tried every major DE, and something or the other is not right with all of them!

I used to use gnome with a lot of customizations.

Over the past couple of years I decided to adapt my workflow and muscle memory to what's provided by default. Works well for me now, even though it was a little awkward at first.

I'm currently using gnome with no customizations.

I'm not claiming gnome is the best DE or anything.

I also really like XFCE btw.
Similar to YouTube search results. Lots of spam videos. No way to block a creator. Totally ruins it.
I'm not a doctor or a biologist. But I do have a water cooler and have brewed both alcohol and cold brew in the past. There's no super special sterilization process for cold brew, we don't use sterilite on the spike that opens up the bottles, we don't store the water in an especially cool place, or otherwise take any special precautions.

That water turns out fine, often for weeks at a time.

Store the cold brew out of direct sunlight, don't leave the grounds in for a super long time, and you'll be fine. It's not like brewing alcohol, you're not adding a bunch of sugar to it or anything like that. The coffee grounds you're adding are shelf-stable, the water you're adding it to is shelf-stable, you're not introducing any real food for bacteria/fungus. Water will eventually go off if you leave it in direct sunlight (mostly due to algae), especially after introducing extra organic matter, but the actual risks of following established methods for brewing cold-brew at room temperature are very low in my opinion. Especially chlorinated water like you probably get out of your pipes.
This is an ad for Redpanda and it's BSL, please stay away
I would recommend looking at Strmzi for running Kafka on K8S. It works well and addresses all the issues mentioned in this piece. There's no reason to switch to RedPanda because you're running Kubernetes.

> If your friends and family are on Facebook, your work contacts across the country are on Twitter, the only forums left alive on the web are on Reddit, how can you not need them?

You can absolutely step away from them and it’s not even hard. Call, text or email your friends and family. It’s far more intimate and frankly more satisfying. You lose the ability to broadcast a curated persona, but honestly in the grand scheme of things that’s better for both you and the rest of humanity.

I have to ask a dumb question here. Lets say that a piece of equipment was installed, with a secret backdoor chip to send data to another country. Surely the unexpected network flow would be detected outbound and investigated? I mean, if my firewall detects outbound traffic to weirdness.com, its going to stop it and alert, because weirdness is not in the predefined envelope of expected places to send things to.

I feel I must be missing something big.
BSL?
AFAIK, most of the moderation on Reddit is done by unpaid humans, not AI. Reddit isn't perfect, of course, but their approach does scale.
The LaTeX criticisms of the article really resonated with me. Long compile times and a narrow "happy path" are the things where I feel LaTeX makes me less productive.

This is a pity because, otherwise, it is a great tool with its focus on document structure and output quality. I'm currently working on a LaTeX successor which seeks to address these issues, but it is really hard to make the right design compromises here -- what can be programmed? What is accessible through dedicated syntax? How does the structure drive presentation?

Computer typesetting is a rabbit hole, but a fascinating one. And I'm sure the last word on it has not been spoken yet :)
>You can basically advocate for genocide, completely unhindered, by calling entire classes of people "degenerate" (literal Nazi rhetoric),

Are you sure you're not reading too much into it? Without context it's really hard to tell whether a use of "degenerate" literally means you want to genocide some group.
Also, they didn't scientifically evaluate the taste of the coffee using a test-panel? Disappointed.
Outdoor sports forums/guides is an interesting area from a startup perspective. Lots of segmented players with pretty clunky UI, issues with data ownership and founder exits that end up killing the sites.

There was rac.climbing on usenet in the long long ago and some of the users have moved from site to site and are till around.

rockclimbing.com was pretty popular at one point but got bought by a publishing company who initially wanted to invest in its growth but quickly put it on life support.

Mountain project started as colorado specific but quickly expanded...with a suspicious amount of overlap with the rockclimbing.com route data base. They expanded into skiing and mountainbiking etc. A few years ago they sold to rei who ran them as a public service for a while. During the 2020 economic worries REI sold them to onx maps, a montana based company that got its start doing land ownership maps for hunters before expanding into more sports.

Some of their competitors on the mountain bike side sold to outside magazine at the same time along with gaia gps. Outside was clearly gearing up for an IPO but now has laid a bunch of people off.

There have been a bunch of other regional or international sites (8a.nu, cascadeclimbers.com, ukclimbing, turns-all-year, telemark talk). A lot of these regional discussion forums have been replaced by facebook groups now which aren't nearly as good for like finding all the old trip reports for a particular route you want to do.

One interesting aside was the supertopo forums which started as a Yosemite specific forum associated with a guidebook company it attracted a ton of older climbers and turned into an add money maker for its creator. They eventually pivoted it to gear reviews/affiliate links and became outdoorgearlab before dropping the forum due to threats of copywrite lawsuit as people kept posting scans of old photos, magazine articles etc in an effort to preserve climbing history.

Twitter is an abysmal shithole of bad software engineering and bad webshit policy, which seems to be a requirement to be a website that serves public utility. I also so happened to rant about idiot moderation policies just 2 days ago:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32174538

I can write this rant every day.

Also, this is the first thing that comes to mind when hearing "AI moderation". What we are seeing here is just hype and clout around the new AI boom and so idiot managers and consumers are demanding it regardless of whether it will be well engineered and put into an eligible application.
If you aren’t going for a Cisco-specific certification I would forget about getting exclusively Cisco gear and look for any open/‘gray box’ hardware that run newer open network OSes like SONiC [0], or Pica8 [1]. The skills are transferable and second-hand hardware from a variety of manufacturers like Edge-Core, QCT, or Dell or others is often available for super cheap on eBay.

The advantage here is having a wide variety of experience outside of Cisco lock-in with open software (normally Linux based, some are based on *BSDs) and the actual software license is free and open for the most part. You also will get a full linux distro with a familiar cli so you can run automation and config management code directly on the switch, which would help you learn multiple things at once. Also it doesn’t hurt that you’d get 10 gigabit, or even 100g(!), Ethernet for your homelab for super cheap :).

For your shopping, look at the SONiC hardware compatibility list [2], often you can find lots of these for cheap. Pick up some cheap and solid optics, fiber and whatnot from FS. [3]

It's not a slippery slope, it's not harder to run your own website. Don't extrapolate from a few extremist cases.
My happiness at work drastically improved when I started giving 99th-percentile estimates instead of medians.

It turned out management usually didn't want to know what something was most likely to cost. They wanted to know what they could reliably plan for and promise to clients. They treated my median estimates as deadlines and I ended up working a lot of extra hours.

With 99% estimates, management stayed happy and I seldom had to work late. Usually I had extra time. Sometimes I gave that time back to management, but for some managers that had a downside because they would push back more on my estimates.

So instead, I used the extra time to reduce technical debt, automate routine tasks, or improve my skills. That reduced the risks of future projects and improved my productivity. In the end, I ended up delivering more this way.

"More powerful"? What does that mean, in the context of DE?
But could that be Fanbyte's way of dealing with a specific country's laws? Perhaps they don't have the manpower and those countries are small enough that the only cost effective option is to just not operate in those countries.
Seems like a nice addition. Much better than futzing around with xxd and suchlike.
Huh... that hasn't been my experience. I notice that article uses a lot of affiliate links, are you sure it's not fear-mongering in order to sell it's special cold brew coffee maker?

Not saying that mold is impossible, but I don't think the solutions is to buy their amazon affiliate coffee maker and special coffee butter.

If you have mold issues after 24 hours of cold brewing I think you have some deeper issues at play. Consider getting mold tests for your house, sterilizing the tools/containers you use, and switching out your beans.

> Capitalism's doomsday has been predicted as relentlessly over the last couple centuries as the religious version, but neither seems any closer.

From the 7th/8th century until the 15th century, the feudal mode of production predominates in Europe. It still exists in some form today - the United Kingdom (note the name) is technically ruled by a queen, as is Spain, Holland etc. Someone in the 9th century saying feudalism would end would not have seen much of the prediction come true 500 years later in the 14th century. But then the crack-up started.

10,000 years ago slave empires arose in Sumeria, Egypt and other places. Slave latifundias in Italy lasted past the sack of Rome. Someone predicting the end of slavery in ancient Sumeria would look like a faulty predicted. Peter Mills was born a slave in the USA and did not die until 1972. So people here could have met him and discussed this with him.

Migratory hunter-gatherer bands painted in caves and carved Venus figurines tens of thousands of years ago. If you told the painter in the Chauvet cave 35,000 years ago that this mode of production would end, he might say that this would be false worldwide for another 25,000 years and that in 2022 AD, deep in the Amazon migratory hunter gatherer bands still roamed.

You seem to have a mental capacity on par with by-weekly sprint deliverables, and are looking at your watch for the end of capitalism, the commodity, bourgeois republics, Sand Hill Road VCs approaching LPs to raise new funds, corporate media, the aristocracy of heirs that send their children to Phillips Exeter, accelerating carbon into the atmosphere, dividends, rents, interest and other rentier instruments etc. I'm afraid history does not happen on this time table so you can continue to feel self-satisfied that whereas hunter gathering fell after tens of thousands of years, slavery for thousands, feudalism for centuries - that capitalism enthroned will be the mode of production henceforth and forever. History shows this is not the case. I look today at the inflation, what may be two quarters of GDP contraction, the stock market dive and firms cutting hiring and no one knowing what the year will hold amidst European and world energy potential energy crises, and think it does not look as bad yet as the subprime crisis of 2008 or dot com crash of 2000, and how Marx said such financial crises tend to worsen over time due to contradictions he pointed out, and the economic system goes on trial with each economic crisis. I see masses going out to rally for the socialist Bernie Sanders, and other masses listening to Tucker Carlson and rallying for Trump, neither of whom seem to be fond of "free trade" deals, the international migration of labor, foreign military interventions for capital etc.

In 2020 the massive crowds were for the socialist and for the other candidate lambasting free trade deals. Unlike 2016, the establishment was ready and got their candidate elected, someone no one seems to particularly care for. Young people seem to have a change of mind as well. The picture I see is quite different, but so is the timetable.
