It sounds like it stopped working when FB declared war on adblockers. It has since become a cat and mouse game. UBlock Origin + relevant lists are likely still your best bet. I can't say for certain how effective they are as I don't use FB but in general the uBlock Origin lists have never taken too long to update, especially with more popular sites.
> It is an impossible burden for websites to individually review every single comment

Yes. So they don't have comment sections or they have expensively moderated comment sections. Both are preferable to unmoderated comment sections.
I thought this had been the norm in many countries for years now?

Note that newspaper sites are very different from any random "forum". They typically enjoy very special legal protections and in return have legal responsibilities with a responsible publisher.

This meant that they review "letters to the editor" and take responsibility for them before publishing. And of course they can't do that with the comment section under an article online. And the simple solution is: for these specific types of publishers, just skip having comments or moderate the comments like the paper content is moderated.
I have trouble figuring out what you mean by the last sentence. There was no legitimate (and non-Catholic) female heir who had priority over James IV and I when Elizabeth I died. Even if female primogeniture was accepted at the time, the crown would have gone to James.
> Especially for large-scale production the cost of offering some variety in colour should be marginal.

No?

You need to overproduce more items that might not get sold, you need more floor space to have all the variants on offer all the time. It's less efficient than a single variant. Whether that's "marginal" depends on the product. It's not like everything is gray.

Prevent sex -- by only allowing one person in the room at a time. I've also thought about a semi-private space where the room is largely separated but not completely insulated. Like the door is opaque but not completely transparent?

Prevent drug use -- honestly have no idea for now.

My labor was extremely cheap until I turned 18 and had to be given minimum wage.

14 year old me could be had for €500/month. Come to think of it, I’m not quite sure why that’s fine in a supermarket. Maybe you can actually have a servant?

We are clearly talking about a planetary-sized magnetic field. But I don't think it's in the realm of impossibility. With a sun-shade like that of JWST, temperatures naturally drop to superconducting ranges and at that point a closed electric loop has effectively zero resistance. So, at least in theory, you could induce an infinite current into it, slowly gathering solar energy until you build up the required magnetic field. The limiting factor would be the physical strength of the winding.

I don't have the technical expertise to estimate if such a project would require mere billions, or planetary sized piles of money.
Kinda same experience, but I do have some experience with Java so imho Clojure makes it easier overall.

Only way I can see this being profitable is if it's done on a gym-style subscription basis.

You pay $X/mo for access to the service. Your X buys you Y x 2hr slots which you have to book in advance to manage availability.

You can have different tiers for X and Y, but you would need to make sure you have good availability, otherwise people would cancel their subscription if they can never find a good slot.
I'm absolutely sympathetic to the copyright concerns (the idea that some future of copilot will use my GPL licensed code to at the very least devalue my work is very irritating!), but not only would this likely require changes to the way copyright works much more quickly than the law typically operates, I'm not even sure how enforceable it really is.

You might be able to force OpenAI to hand over a part of dall-e's revenue, but how would that work with an open source model like stable diffusion that runs on consumer hardware? There's really no way to control how much/in what way its used. Even if you make it illegal to use James Gurney's work to train model without his explicit permission, people could just finetune it in private with essentially no way to determine whether they used works they didn't have permission for.

The closest thing to the cassette recorder solution would be to put a tax on every computing sold, but that seems unlikely to me to be palatable to the general public.

We definitely have very interesting times ahead of us.

> I think there a comparatively simple measure that would work just as well: just price the externality of using fossil fuels directly by introducing a carbon tax at the source, that is levied by the fossil fuels companies and baked in the raw ressources.

In the end, the rich elites - those producing an amount of CO2 emissions that is obscene compared to the amount normal people produce - would simply not care and pay a bit more money. For people who have yachts with tanks large enough to require 100.000$ or more for a single fill or with their own private jets, even tripling fuel prices would still be laughable petty cash, whereas tripling fuel prices would have a devastating impact on people needing their car to get to work.

"Pricing in externalities" to steer consumers towards a specific behavior (= here, limiting CO2 emissions) only works in an economy where the majority of participants are at a similar level of wealth. Otherwise, 99% will be forced to drastically cut their life style while the 1% keeps on going merrily. That is only one thing, a recipe for massive social unrest.

From my experience working on the projects mentioned above as well as lots of Elixir code:

Things you can do:

* Use static typing. If not possible, use type annotations or proper pattern matching with a consistent structure (e.g. {:ok, val} | {:error, :reason} in Elixir).

* Keep abstraction at a reasonable level, do not abstract things simply because they might become useful.

* Wrap all values that flow in streams in custom data structures that can easily be expanded. Never (unless you're absolutely sure it never changes) use primitive types.

* Use FSM or any kind of modelled sequence to document what a module does (we ended up having mermaid diagram syntax as comments in some of the most complex modules)

* Make sure the language/library you use has good support for testing and especially debugging. Lots of FRP libraries don't or their implementation works against the design of the language which leads to all kinds of odd behaviours.

Things to be aware of:

* FRP enthusiasts often tout that you can use the same flow of logic across languages that provide FRP libraries. Yes, you kind of can but all the functions are named different, have different interfaces and it's been a huge mess for us.

* If you interface with libraries that rely on strict threading (e.g. C libraries using pthread), strap in for some pain. FRP libraries often do what apple does with GCD in where they kind of abstract threading away from you into queues, which works fine if you stay in the FRP world but falls apart when interfacing with thread sensitive code.
Rephrasing slightly: The animations are playing slower than grogenaut's reading speed, and they are forced to wait for animations to complete before advancing. Faster animations, a way to control animation speed, or even a way to skip animations could make for a more comfortable user experience.

One idea is to let the guest put his device in a faraday cage, locked, and bring the cage into the room. The key of the cage would be kept at the counter accessible to the guest also in a self-serve manner. So the guest will know he has his device with him, but cannot use it during his stay.

Literally every one, including Fedora, openSUSE (both Leap and Tumbleweed), Debian, Linux Mint, Manjaro, Void, Arch and Gentoo with their respective derivatives.

The peak Linux experience for a Just Werx focused end user is probably openSUSE Tumbleweed on KDE or XFCE. Batteries included, fast and extremely hard to break package manager, YaST2 configuration manager, and lots of user repositories.
> Sure, but when's someone going to make an ebike that can carry lots of groceries? Or really anything more than 1 large bag. Even a Trader Joe's run for only myself is 4-5 bags

Because you need to go less often due to the effort/cost of traveling to buy groceries. Here in Sweden almost everyone manages to get groceries with a backpack or a small cart, a few days of the week when needed. It's a 10-15 min walking distance for most people living in any part of a city.

Even then, 4-5 bags is completely doable on a bike with some panniers or a large cargo backpack. There are also cargo bikes if you ever have the need to carry larger loads often so there is your answer to when someone will make a bike that can carry loads of groceries. They exist but for most people who actually use a bike day-to-day, in the places we live we don't need to pack a full trunk-load of groceries because we can purchase groceries conveniently and do it more often.

> Also, bike theft is a huge problem. And coincidentally the places with the best transit and bike lane buildouts have the worst policies towards property theft.

Bike theft happens with bad locking practices: a bad lock (cable or small sized chains) and not properly locking your frame through the back triangle to a thick pipe/metal column. If you leave your bike unattended for a whole night with a bad lock you run the chance to have it stolen almost anywhere in the world. Get a good u-lock and learn the simple trick of properly locking your bike...
Ask HN: What's the Deal with Lineageosroms.com?
re: https://lineageosroms.com (Should I have put that in the url field, even though I am not really trying to recommend it?)

- it tries to look as official as possible
- it has no 'mission statement' or explanation
- it manages to come in near the top of search results
- almost nobody ever talks about it
- it has old builds that the official site doesn't have anymore
- I download the nexus 5 zip and checked it with https://github.com/LineageOS/update_verifier and it checks
(I hope that means it was just copied from straight from the old site, and that I am safe to use it for an experiment, and it it is no more unsafe than any other old android phone)
- they have been banned from twitter https://twitter.com/lineageosroms
- there are no ads
- almost nobody is talking about this. one person says "no not legit" and somebody else says "scammers like lineageosroms.com"
- they care enough to put this at the bottom "Content of this page is based on informations from github and LineageOS Wiki, under CC BY-SA 3.0 licence."
- nothing useful in whois

I'm having trouble connecting all the dots. I would have asked on lineageos subreddit except they have this rule:
> Don't link to or discuss unofficial builds or sites. Please don't post links to unofficial builds or unofficial news sources. If it's not lineageos.org -- it's not official.

So here is the best I can do:
- it's a scam that inserts malware into zips, just not the rom I checked
- I didn't check the zip well enough
- It's a well meaning person that put it all the work for their idea, but never got around to telling anybody about it or explaining it, and is now gets dismissed as a scammer
- It's a proposed redesign and/or part of some internal lineageos dispute
- It's the same as all the other copy pasted content search result spam on the internet, except they forgot to put the banners in
- It's doing stuff to my browser that I don't know about when I visit the site

Any idea?

I can see Dall-E and co lowering the skill level required to accomplish some artistic tasks. Specialisation and delegation were part of the artistic creation for centuries. AI can do some mundane tasks reasonably well (e.g. shade a volume or draw a character in a specific pose). This should lower the barrier to entry and allow new artists with a different training and background to create in new ways. Sort of like some electronic musicians do not know to play an instrument, and rely solely on hardware or software to actually trigger sounds.
Very cool! Some ideas:

1. Doesn't seem to support area conversions (tried 400 square meters, 400 m^2, and abbreviations in between).

2. If I only give a time, it would be more useful if it gave a time-only result rather than defaulting to the current date - unless it rolls over to a different date. (E.g. in Soulver, "2:30pm + 20hr" gives "Tomorrow at 10:30".)

3. It would be nice to support multiple abbreviations for minutes (mn/min are both used in various countries).
Even that probably has a root cause. Capitalism, efficiencies gained from concentrating resources in a single location, network effects etc?

In the UK, jobs used to be at local factories and offices. It was rare for people to move for university then move to another city for work.

My Grandad worked at a local electronics factory. My Dad worked at a local auto parts refurbishment factory. My mother in her early 20s worked as a secretary for the emergency services. Moving away for university and then again to another city for work was almost unheard of. You worked and lived close to your family. Of course the 80s came along and everything changed.
