Last week, I switched my desktop to Linux. I was pretty bullish on FB (but hated the company) until the whole "Metaverse" thing.
I can see Street view for few certain areas in Hyderabad. But few areas still show a black screen or I can't navigate the street view. Probably still WIP.

Given the population density, once all the faces and number plates are blurred out the street views are a lot more blurry. But I am really excited to see this.
I think they mean Marx haha.

The first thing to know about Facebook is that they view the social media landscape in two dimensions: format and audience size. Format here means text -> audio -> video. So if you look at the match up between audience of 1:1,000,000 and text you'll find Twitter, for example.

This has served FB quite well but what happens after video, if anything? Well, the company believes the next two steps are VR then AR. In this context, the Oculus acquisition makes more sense.

Meta is ultimately (IMHO) suffering from a problem similar to what Microsoft had in 2000: it didn't know where to go and lacked leadership and direction. With MS and Netscape, MS really believed they were doing normal MS things until the governmen tintervened and they didn't really know what to do.

There have been three big initiatives from the top at FB that IMHO didn't and still don't make sense:

1. In respons eto the misinformation aroundd and subsequent to the 2016 election, FB decided to try and police truth with "fact checking". This is a huge mistake. Nobody is going to be happy. There will always be a line where people disagree. Even in clear cases of false information, as we've seen you're going to still upset a lot of people. This was always a losing strategy;

2. They decided to merge WhatsApp, FB Messenger and IG Direct to try and "win" the US messaging market against iMessage. Years before this there was no concerted effort to merge FB, IG and WA accounts. When asked, Mark said they were differnt ecosystems with different permissions. It didn't make sense to try and unify them. Well that fell by the wayside and angered users in the process; and

3. The Metaverse. Much like VR in general, I don't htink is ever going to be mainstream. It doesn't solve any problem. AR might if we can ever get AR glasses to work but that's a pretty big if. For now, people love their phones. They don't love VR headsets and (again, IMHO) they never will.

So now Meta stock has lost half its value. The best performers will be looking at the door. An effort to weed out low performers is going to make things incredibly toxic. It won't weed out bottom performers. It'll weed out those who are the worst at politics because that's what employee calibration is.

None of this is address the real problem: leadership. There is no top-level direction (that makes sense). Who you should be looking to lose is 50% of the people from directors right up to Mark's level. ICs and "leaf" managers don't decide company strategy. Direct this at those who do.
Is it possible to view video on the web? What about sharing videos or clips of videos? I assume you have to leave your Apple TV running 24/7 then?

Also, can Android users use it?
That tax is now gone as of 2018 I believe.

> (...) The monolith they had was PHP, just to add to the fun, so switching over would mean switching languages too.

Why do you feel this is relevant, let alone detrimental to the idea of microservices? It looks to me that it's one of the primary positive traits.

> The guy, he was a smart and motivated chap, even started implementing one service in his free time (...) which somehow screwed up the monotlith and made it start crashing.

This statement makes no sense at all.

> Obviously, it was a 100% stupid idea (...)

I saw no stupid idea in any of your statements.

You stated the legacy codebase was crap, and that a team member took up to himself to do the strangler's vine thing and gradually peel responsibilities out of the monolith. What leads you to believe this is stupid?
I'm not an expert but that could be considered dumping by the WTO

The US monetary system didn’t survive for 195 years. We tried several different approaches because it kept failing spectacularly.

The Copper Panic of 1789 for example went spectacularly bad. New Jersey in 1787 declared currency from other states was no longer valid and New York banned copper coins entirely. “At the height of the debasement, there was a 430% inflation rate for copper and commerce ceased, forcing several businesses and manufacturers to close down.[1][2]”
I have lived in France and Germany and 95+% of the articles I have seen that follow this exact pattern to use as selling argument for $SomeTechnique$ the exact number of millions or billions someone made using $SomeTechnique$ were from the US.

Perhaps you don't pay attention. It striked me because I couldn't care less about the lives of billionaires. People laugh at the 9 years old girl who wants to become Madonna but that dream is no more irrealistic and is IMHO less stupid than becoming Elon Musk.

And no, I'm not gonna make 9 babies. If I have a child one day I want to do half of the parenting.

I disagree. It's certainly not the case for me - Instagram has become an app I open out of habit or because I got a notification, remember that it sucks now, and close again. But more generally, this is two things: the tail wagging the dog, because Instagram pushes reels hard you get more engagement there as a creator which pushes people into them; and the fact that low quality engagement is a poor proxy for what people actually want. Instagram can show me videos of women in sheer tops all day, and if I am bored it is mindlessly engaging, but it is never what I want. What I want is to skim over 50 posts from people I care about, and maybe interact with one or two of them. I think am far from alone in what I want, but Instagram does not want what I want, because it is harder to keep me looking once I get to the end of my feed, and harder to put ads in front of me I don't scroll past almost immediately.
Read the whole book, cover yo cover. That’s about it.

I adopted rust a while back and have since ported basically everything to it, even at work. It’s my new best friend, for sure.

The best advice is just to keep going.
Speaking of adapting the product, the article explicitely states :
"Is it possible to set the Google Analytics tool so that personal data is not transferred outside the European Union?"

"No."

So right now it is practically impossible to use Google Analytics in a legal way in France.

Yep. My rental (invitation Homes ) had a major gas leak that they covered up by keeping windows open when I did walk through. When I asked about smell they kept saying it was new carpet etc.

Turned our cap for gas was just sitting on pipe. All the gas pipes were hand done (badly) and against code.

So permanent brain and nerve injuries for while family and hundreds of thousands in hospital bills.

Screw them.
There's a difference between the market expecting a great quarter and FB missing by a little, and the market expecting a bad quarter and FB doing even worse.
To quibble a bit, they're actually not being forced to sell the grains and oilseeds, which for the time being they are free to stockpile; but if they do sell them, they are being forced to sell the dollars they get in exchange, at a fraudulent exchange rate, in order to subsidize imports and the overseas travel of the Argentine upper class.
Not really, I'm slightly above average but outclassed by many geoguessrs. And it is useless since I'll most likely never use this knowledge outside of geoguessr.

My point is that watching a geoguessr player who doesn't know how to interpret street signs is like watching a chess streamer who doesn't know about en passant. I guess if you're watching them for their humorous commentary or their cleavage, that's cool, but it hopefully is not because you think they're good players.
I'm pretty good at apologizing.

Mostly because I get a lot of practice. :P

When I worked for a Japanese company, my ability to apologize, sincerely, and politely, was good for my career.

The Japanese respect and work with apologies. They accept it, and then expect you to help make it right. It is usually not brought up again.

Americans, on the other hand, tend to take them as admissions of weakness, and try to pile more abuse on you. You are punished for apologizing, and they never let you forget it.
I'd just make the individuals involved rich with a lump-sum payment ($10m, say) and a lot of good press. Then make it public domain.
Right now Meta has product offerings (Horizon Worlds), they have an app store, and they make their own hardware. I find their product offering to be bad, but their app store and hardware are fine. Valve has made plenty of money over the years by owning just an app store alone. I think Meta is still a world leader owning the store and the hardware even if their product offering is middling. Being able to innovate on the hardware end gives them great leverage on what features applications use, the ability to influence AAA studios and indie devs alike. This will eventually stop if VR hardware becomes commoditized, but that's not happening any time soon if it ever does. And if Meta does win the product battle then there's even more value to profit from.

And not being a world leader won't tank their stock or somehow erase the company. There's still real earnings/value to be had in VR and they're early in the space. As long as the space as a whole is successful and Meta stays a part of it, they'll continue to receive revenue which will continue to drive stock growth. They might not forever stay a behemoth, but they're not going anywhere any time soon.
Reading this from a Debian bullseye system just fine.
It's not based on trust, but verification by replication. The closest description is perhaps the security adage, "trust, but verify".
But back then, I assume the content was 90% original, 10% ads/marketing/brand building, whereas now it is 90% ads, 10% original.
Higher expenses were already expected due to the metaverse play, so I don't think this means that Facebook is really going anywhere.
Now divide by population, 5 million for NZ, 25 million for Australia and 330 millions for the US.

Does not seem at all comparable to being locked into what some bosses at a cable/satellite TV/TV channel company decide you have access to, at the time they say you can access it. With no ability to upload.

Is there? Or is there just more consensus among the elite and Ivy League educated who dominate security discussion and policy?
You have been eaten by a grue.
>And then the government gets to decide what the lunches are for everyone.

Well, no. You always have the option to bring your lunch if you can afford it. So the government gets to decide what the lunches are for poor people who don't have another option. Take that for what it is, but shit lunch is better than no lunch, ask any hungry person.
I think a social network that combines something like Discord and old Facebook timelines would be interesting. Basically group chats would become first class citizens, and the platform should help you discover group chats that your friends are in. That was the missing piece from Facebook messenger group chats. They tried to introduce "Rooms" but it failed since other platforms had already taken over that space. Maybe it is still too late.
The note on Reality Labs is pretty big in my opinion given the rebranding as Meta.
I do a lot of listening on the local side for sure. Typically either with qmms or moc. Dropbox syncs most of it, with some other syncing handled via LAN rsync.

Spotify might be interesting. I tend to go to Amazon Music since I'm used to it and have always got this weird underdog thing going. SomaFM in the browser is nice at times, and could be done through console for sure. IA also has some fun stuff there for esoteric interests.

I also listen to a lot of local FM and sometimes remote FM via websdr. I think it could be interesting to play with console interfaces for these. Local FM is surprisingly nice because there are normally scheduled announcements on the air that apply directly to where I live, for one.

Anyway... Fun topic
Will Republicans Shut Out the Press in 2024?
That is not nearly the same thing. The US and western Europe have been roughly aligned about geopolitical interests, values (democracy, freedom, mostly liberal, based on a secularising Christian foundation), rules and laws. China is diametrically opposed on all those things.

The cultural influence of the US on Europe is enormous, and the US has often crossed the line spying on European citizens, but the US is not an adversary.
From the first sentence of that article:

> Begging the question means "to elicit a specific question as a reaction or response," and can often be replaced with "a question that begs to be answered."
That's actually what I expected the article to be about - I was honestly surprised when it turned out to be something so mundane.
> as the requests are not obfuscated in any way

How do you know for sure that the requests are "not obfuscated in any way"?
So really every website, even HN, that doesn't shard all EU data away in a separate EU datacenter (if they aren't already based in the EU) is illegal?

While there were certainly crises, people's dollars from before the Copper Panic were still worth the same amount after it. The exception was paper money during the Civil War (not just Confederate, as I said!), which became valueless after it. And of course banknotes issued by banks that failed.

There are lots of historical cases of debasement of coinage, yes.
Do you really think that the “most humans” I’m referring to are the same ones responsible for that still-functional-despite-The-Circumstances supply chain? Those humans are too busy to fight over toilet paper in the aisles, and too competent to run completely out of it in the first place.
Correct. When I started my first company from my bedroom I only had a normal tower computer as a server and had heard that rack server is what the professionals use, so I bought two and started them. Sounded like 2 jet engines and quickly realised I need a data Center to put these in.
> The damning thing here is that the error was made in the first place

I actually thought the opposite when I first read it - I wondered "who the hell would have noticed THAT?!"
Nice little piece, I guess.

But I just can't make heads or tails _at all_ about what exactly this website is. Someone's blog? Collective input? No obvious "About" section? What am I missing?
What I like also changes frequently. I think that is the magic of TikTok that they adjust quickly to what I want to see and now like Twitter / YT / etc what I have looked at in the past
Thanks! I agree with that overall point--the possibility of accounts being withheld and/or of false inclusions is an interesting one and worthy of discussion.

That said, while there are doubtlessly many people who read this article and thought something like "why wouldn't you immediately call out the possibility of curation / manipulation of the data released?", and they're right that it's worthy of calling out, I think the more important fact to remember is that Krebs's work got us here.
They’ve deeply embedded themselves into my life because of Whatsapp.

Life and work are nearly impossible here without Whatsapp.
I have only the most superficial familiarity with Plato, but here's my guess:

#1 is Plato. It expresses a clear theme that happens to match my vague understanding of what "Platonism" is, and the writing is efficient and effective. The metaphor of knowledge as "food" seems particularly unlikely to be something that GPT-3 would express in such a concise way. The only thing that really gives me pause is the part at the end about "the revolution of the worlds"; I'm not sure what exactly that's referring to.

#2 is GPT-3. The topic meanders a lot, and there are a lot of individual chunks of prose that sound weird to me, or at least artless. (What value is "as I dare say you yourself know" adding, for instance?) It seems to be throwing around words like "beauty", "mind", "soul" and "wisdom" in ways that obscure their meanings, rather than elucidating them. For example, "wisdom [...] is the pilot of the soul" makes much less sense than "mind, the pilot of the soul".
Then it should be pretty easy to undermine your democracy. Just increase the number of people per representative such that each representative has plenty of constituents that align with whomever pays most into your campaign.

And alas, USA is one of the least represented democracies in the world at 596,060 constituents per legislator. Compared to China’s 454,930, Brazil’s 353,783, South Africa’s 98,726 or France’s 71,631 constituent per legislator.

The comment reflects reality, which I agree is disgusting.
Was in a similar situation before... Was allowed to use my personal device tethered to my cell on the other side of a table... if I needed to look anything up online. Copying code files from read text is not fun at all, spinning in the chair and moving over regularly... didn't have to do it too much... but that's what higher security means in some places. Nothing touches the internal network but your hands (so to speak).
A text-based internet is mostly a relic of low broadband penetration.

Video is more engaging than text for most people.
I wouldn't be complaining if the op had made an effort to establish such a linkage as you did for your example. Is it my job to validate an assertion which op didn't bother to support with an argument?

Increasingly campaigns are funded almost entirely by small dollar donations raised through social media. This is about to make US politics really weird, and I'm not sure what to think of it.

Also basically all legislation that passes which is very little, is written by the staffers of House and Senate leadership without going through committee. It's then handed to members to rubber stamp on the floor if the votes are already secured. Buying some random senator or rep is basically worthless these days unless they hold swing vote and can't be primaried for some reason.
I have all but given up on this one. It's now notable when I hear someone use the phrase in the "correct" way. Usually the person ends up being someone who majored in philosophy.

This progression is likely due to the fact that people raise questions much more often than they beg questions. Once the phrase started being used in the former sense, it was bound to overtake the latter.
If you're looking to find more interesting content on YouTube you might want to check this out:

https://channelgalaxy.com/id%3DUCcefcZRL2oaA_uBNeo5UOWg/

They have lists of channels by similarity. That one is the list for the Y Combinator channel. You can look up a different channel in the search bar on top of the page.

I've definitely found a bunch of new channels through it, like Yannic Kilcher and pretty much the whole AI section of YouTube. Despite watching stuff like Robert Miles and Lex Fridman YouTube never showed me the depth of the AI section on its own. After I found it the YouTube algorithm started showing me videos in the new areas I was discovering which brought even more content.
USA handouts of money to airlines and foreign cruise ship operators was disgusting. Americans are soft and didn't do anything about it.
A Multi-Model Approach to Synthetic Data Generation
The AllSides report you linked to cites a Pew survey that found that "the majority of The Economist readers hold political values to the left-of-center," which I think might reflect left-leaning social values more than economics. AllSides themselves even say that their readers disagree:

> As of August 2018, 608 AllSides readers agreed with this media bias rating, while 1,302 disagreed. Of those who disagreed, the average said The Economist has a Center media bias.

I think that differences in economic vs. social issues as well as The Economist's international perspective make it difficult to categorize on a simple left/right metric. They claim[0] to support lots of positions that seem socially left-leaning to me as an American (drug legalization, gay marriage in 2004, repealing the Second Amendment), but OC seems to be talking more about economically left-leaning positions ("scrutiny of their ballooning compensation").
