>it can try to find ways to know the source and make sure they're not bad actors, paid agents, state sponsors, etc.

Why would that be relevant? The truth and importance of a message can't be entirely determined by its source.

>OP mentions how they never allowed him to have a verified badge even though he tried. This very much seems like something Twitter could have done. Now to anyone else, his account seems just as fake as any other impersonating him.

I fail to see how that would help. OP says they're accusing him of being an agent. That's something that could be done even without a parody account.

>It could also put more effort behind investigating reports like the OP did. Accusation of criminal acts, labeling of people, mention of violence, arrest, etc.

So, no more news on Twitter? No more whistle-blowing? I mean, what if OP actually is an Israeli agent? Or perhaps you would like Twitter to actually investigate whether he is an agent, in which case you're agreeing with me, that Twitter would need to know everything that's going on in the world.

>The issue I have with what you say is the ideal communication medium ignores the issues with Twitter, such that it doesn't just simply convey content without regard. It selectively prioritizes, automatically suggests, and promotes certain tweets over others.

I agree, Twitter is already not the ideal communication medium. I'm saying that adding censoring to the problems you've already listed takes it farther from the ideal, not closer. It's also unreasonable, because it asks Twitter to be the arbiter of truth.

>You could imagine a relatively simple feature, any Tweet that mentions someone else by name or Twitter alias, that person should be able to attach a response to them that is shown under those tweets automatically.

I don't think it's a bad idea per se, but it seems like it would be easy to thwart it. And I doubt it would have helped OP if it already existed. He's not complaining that he can't reply to those tweets, he's complaining that the tweets exist at all.

Thank you for the link. Apparently I received a batch where this problem has been fixed.

The hinge is not very wobbly when typing and won't move if I lift the laptop carefully. However, it won't stay in position when moving it quicker.

Maybe this is by design so one can open the lid with a single hand. I prefer the sturdy hinge on my old Thinkpads though - it's difficult to open them with one hand but they stay in position when I move them.
Same here, but also using private browsing mode only. Plus the YouTube Vanced app (including YouTube Music) to be rid of the ads there.

I try not to use apps where there's a website equivalent, but I also repackaged a couple of them that I like to rid them of the ads, using apktool.

My mobile experience is blissfully ad-free. It's a delight and I would never go back to the default experience.

Sure there are. The coming environmental collapse, the collapse of technological civilization soon to follow, increasingly virulent pandemics, violence, poverty, hunger, the rise of global fascism and war, self-driving cars plowing into pedestrians.

Nuclear-powered e-fuels and old-fashioned stockpiles. Or just old-fashioned stockpiles.

Ground warfare might perhaps see some niches where the lower thermal and noise signature of battery power gets leveraged in one way or another, or the flexibility of motor-power wheel.

You had to cite an obscure Swedish article to characterize medical care for children as negative? Pathetic.

Why not just trust doctors? Let medical professionals make the decision? How about considering the children you want to hurt instead of your feelings about whether trans people are icky.

totally get it.

i havent released much. and the quality is questionable. but i totally get it.

me and my SO discussed this briefly, her suggestion is to only do things for yourself.

my thoughts to that: yeah, sure. but working a dayjob _and_ working the dream, who is going to cheer me on? im bad at multitasking, so after a day or two of spinning my wheels i will most likely loose all drive, because i can see that i wont make it in the near future to the finish line. Also, nobody except me cares, but do i really care? there are projects i do care about a lot, but because i care so much i havent really put any deliberate concrete planing into it as to keep anything possible. this way i pick up small projects left and right, turn them over a couple of times in my mind and then drop them. big ones i just dream about ad infinitum... i hate it but i havent found the jenesaiqua to motivate myself to do anything really. much less so if i only do it for myself.

being cheered on by family always feels like "oh wow, that is a nice cat you drew" "its a horse" "oh yeah now i see it...(they never did)": empty encouraging words. blind eyes appreciating art. deaf ears praising the timbre of an instrument. v_v

at least when i cook a meal i can eat it and experience whether or not it tastes good. but with software? what am i supposed to make that will make my life a bit better: an automatic doomscroller? scoffs

I wish you well, lurkars, may your projects gain the recognition they deserve
This is the extreme take that's echoed across online fora by proponents of commercial enterprises such as SpaceX.

There's an big argument to be made for the efficient investment of "taxpayer money".

Then again, the SLS program does fund the private space industry. While it's easy to dismiss it as a mere "jobs program", it did / does provide a bed for the next generation of engineers to learn, gain knowledge, become experts and so on. It also provided a bed for contractors and subcontractors to grow their businesses. Just like the Apollo program did.

The big difference with the likes of SpaceX is that the latter aims to provide a completely integrated platform with all the components. At a fraction of the cost. In a way, SpaceX aims to mimic Apple's business model. It's already a commercial brand in it's own right rather then some white-label name.

While choosing the cheaper, efficient option would seemingly be preferable, a public government isn't a private customer. It's the 'res publica' that represents society and its manifold interests. So, that leaves us a poignant question: Would the cheap price and efficiency offered by a single private actor who does everything, really be worth trading in supporting a diverse, competitive, advanced space industry as part of a public mission?

After all, when taxpayers point fingers to the Senate, let's not forget that this institution exists in a democratic model which the people of the United States have chosen as part of their own representation over the past 250 odd years. Pork and barrel politics are - ultimately - part and parcel of a well-functioning consensus model that doesn't let one dominant voice determine whose interests should be favored at the expense of all others.

Finally, in the grand scheme of things, NASA's budget in FY2020 represented 0.48% of all federal expenses. As far as the taxpayer is concerned, the cost of SLS over a decade pertains to a negligible fraction of their contributions through taxation on an individual level.
This skips over a solution that helps both users, make each request faster. That may seem like an obvious statement but the “solution” they propose is a complicated partitioning approach. This presumes you’ve already made each request as fast as reasonable. In my experience that’s rarely true.

This also doesn’t get into the real challenge, which is the trade offs for tail latency for median (or more typically 99%) latency. Most of the time the things you do to flatten tail latency increase latency lower in the curve.
Android and Chrome OS support DNS-over-TLS/HTTPS. DNS based adblocking is obviously not perfect, but good enough in practice.

In 2015, GitHub sent me a DMCA takedown notice for a repository of dotfiles. When I tried to convince them how ridiculous that is, their only suggestion was to file a DMCA counter notice.

Glad they've come a long way since then.
In theory it can do both. However, it is not yet crew-certified.
However, using GDocs version history requires discovering it and understanding that it exists and not using anything else to do the job.

That sounds stupid until you start working at a company where "oh yeah we version this specification" means there is a Google Doc Word document in which each "change" consists of

- picking a color

- adding new things in text of that color

- using strike-through to cross out things which are no longer valid

, as opposed to using the document's version history as version history.

I have both and the cheapest air replaced the pro instantly. The pro is heavy and loud and hot and less performant. But i didnt run into any issues so i guess lucky me.
I'd give the MSI Creator Z16 a look. Albeit, battery life is not amazing on [most] x86 platforms (compared to ARM platforms) though it should last notably longer on Linux.
Things don't scale linearly with space cargo, nor can you easily work around it by multiple launches.

That said, majority of the price tag is probably congressional impact rather than anything else...
But many countries have anti-trust regulations that take effect once competition is reduced to a certain level.

If a company like Uber can be divided into multiple Ubers that have to compete with each other, then the over-investment by venture capitalists can still be turned into a societal win.
The stuff about the physics of chains/whips in Seveneves comes to mind. It seemed like something that tickled Stephenson's brain and so he had to write it into something.
ThinkPads... I recommend latest X1 Carbon. Better and more healthy ergonomy with a trackpoint + more durable chachi that handles heat better.
Given the number of delays I would not be surprised at all if the launch is called off. Better to fix things properly than to risk a blow-up, which may well be the end of the program.

BTW: from a casual point of view it looks suspiciously like a shuttle launch stack without the shuttle.

edit: it looks like it has been scrubbed

> Within the next six months, SpaceX will put Starship into orbit.

Really? I haven't heard news about Starship in quite a while now.

> Its biggest rocket yet, the heavy-lift vehicle will be able to carry similar payloads into space as the sls for, Mr Musk reckons, just a few million dollars a launch.

Mr. Musk reckons all sorts of stuff, mostly fanciful. He has also been reckoning that Tesla will achieve full self driving next year, for the past 7 years or so. He has also reckoned that Neuralink will allow people to communicate telepathically, that hyperloops make sense, that we'll have Earth to Earth rocket transport, that the boring company will revolutionize tunneling etc.

So far NASA has delivered vastly more than Elon Musk.

> Given the increasing competition from companies such as Blue Origin, owned by Jeff Bezos, it is hard to see a role for nasa’s bloated sls.

Bloated SLS may be, but has Blue Origin actually done anything useful? Joy rides for billionaires don't count.
Trans people are literally being murdered. Kids are kicked out of their homes for being trans. The Republican party is currently centering their platform on hatred towards trans people, blaming them for all societal woes. There are now laws being enacted that ban trans people from public places. Yet you not see how this could discourage people from coming out as trans?
Hence why user limits should be configured. :)

Runbooks or any kind of ops agent would probably fit well. In particular something like a start/stop/init daemon

At least in my mind. Hell even a deployment tool would probably fit some of that paradigm.

It would ofc need some work to adapt it and maybe something like Crochet would make more sense but eh
Since at least the 2019 model Dell XPS 13s no longer have S3 sleep mode and instead uses Microsoft's "Modern Standby" (s0ix)[1], which consumes tons of power whilst in "sleep" in order to have slightly quicker wake times.

When Will We Have 3D Printed Organs?
It depends on the model, for instance, G15 2021 doesn't have this problem.
More important would be to preserve a very thorough and accurate recording of everything we’ve done so any future civilization could analyze it and determine what we did wrong and how to avoid it. More importantly though we should be working on solving the problems we have and making sure our current civilization doesn’t fail.

Spending a lot of effort on something like this seems akin to writing a letter to the next tenant for your apartment while you should be working to keep your job so you can stay in the apartment.
Take an existing problem ("Track poachers"). Notice that elephants walk differently to humans, and that movement difference can be used to identify the difference even in lower res videos (surely there's simpler ways, like size and shape? It's plausible that gait is actually a better way though). Take an existing dataset, plug it into your favourite machine learning library, and run your model over a drone feed somebody else did 99% of the work for.

Handwave away that most of the cost in the drone is going to be in getting it decent range, not a decent FLIR camera. Add in a 5x bonus to media coverage because you're young, 5x bonus because you're a woman in STEM, say something about how important skin colour, demographics, and chromosomes are for doing some mediocre programming:

> “What I really realized from this is how important it is that women, people of color, all sorts of minorities in the field of technology are at the forefront of this kind of groundbreaking technology.”

And you've got some journalists writing about you and not something far more interesting and useful, because A. The journalists can somewhat understand it, B. You're under the age of 20, C. You're a girl in STEM, D. You're a minority, and E. It's about good animals being protected from evil poachers, giving it a nice simple narrative.

And I'm sure her winning that competition was totally about merit and not because they've got a mandated 50% women winning (and she's a minority, extra points!) and probably 5% of submissions are by women. Or maybe it's not? Maybe it was merit. Either way, implicit and explicit quotas mean that it's more likely than not, and my knee-jerk reaction to this is one of "she's there because she's a girl" and not "she's there because of merit". What fantastic efforts to get rid of stereotypes, right?

I'm around her age, I'm tempted to try to send something similarly useless to that competition and get $10 000. But why bother, when the first, second, and third place will inevitably be taken up by girls with useless projects going "It was so difficult to get here, all I had was exclusive help in the form of courses, programs, special treatment, and mentors all along the way and competing against 10% of the people for 50% of the spots"

SpaceX builds Mars Starship in their private capacity, so they don't have to certify it with NASA.

It most likely never will be according to criteria from commercial crew program, because it does not have and will not have an escape system.
AdGuard Home really is great. One really doesn’t need to set up docker if they don’t want, since it’s a single self-contained binary.
Thanks to AT&T not being able to charge for anything out of Bell Labs, they were quick to react once they were allowed to.

Had it not been the case, we would probably be using something else instead.
I wireguard home in order to get PiHole filtered internet on the road.

I also use PiHole from a docker container on the same server that's running wireguard.
The same issues exist in Windows as well. They actually exist BECAUSE Windows no longer supports real sleep mode. Microsoft does this to push "modern standby" so they can phone home 24/7.

Idk about your country, but we don't teach children "fear god or burn in hell" or "what would Jesus do", we tend to teach young children not to be dicks to each other and not to do dumb stuff. Most of our children books aren't based on some religious stuff either. They're quite neutral. Yes, there is "religious education" in school, but that's not the major focus of our educational system.

When i was in kindergarten, it was e.g. "Struwwelpeter"[1]. Nowadays, that's probably not considered child-friendly anymore...

The genius is in the revenue model. It isn't hard, in theory, to build a website like HN (well, in practice it probably is - but not outside the top 10% of web coders). The tricky part is why should people like pg and dang sink so much time into growing the garden and keeping it pruned.

The hard part is to set up a situation where the website administrator benefits from having a large technocratic-oriented community that, as far as I can tell, loathes ads. And possibly images. Tough market to sell to.

For HLS NASA requirement was capability of delivering 2T of cargo to the Moon.
