I see similar arguments to this one a lot and frankly I don't see how anyone with an active social life can believe it to be true. The userbase for these platforms has massive crossover. Maybe it's a generational thing or something but I can gurantee you the socially active Gen Zers are on Insta and TikTok. If anything they'll be on both of those as well as Snapchat and Discord using each for particular types of social interaction. So the issue clearly isn't a locked in userbase.

So it must be the content creators right? But this is rediculous too! Because virtually every content creator worth a damn on TikTok will have a linked Instagram! What's more, many of them will often have a Linktree or similar url either in their profile description or linked on their insta that will include everything from YouTube, to Patreon, to OnlyFans. People who understand how to make money making content on these platforms aren't one trick ponies, they're using sophisticated marketing approaches that leverage the strengths of different online platforms to compensate for the fact they often have handle their own marketing.

So if the content of the knockoffs is bad or the creators arent finding the competition worth considering then the only question remaining I would argue is whether the problem is in the reccomendation system (TikTok was, and still is, famous with users for doing a solid job at this), the moderation system (TikTok, maybe because it's Chinese, is not so fixated on implementing the SJ nonsense that YouTube, FB, etc. pander to at the moderation level), or the compensation system (Again, probably because they care less about demonetizing you for wrongthink against whatever miniority or "important cause" is the pet of the week. Content competes primarily on its merits as likeable content).

In short, TikTok might have had an early mover advantage but the reason no one catches up in the current environment is because they can't get their heads out of the sand enough to realize it's their own fault no one entertaining wants to produce anything but TikTok reposts for them.

Quiet Quitting is just a new term for Work-to-rule: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work-to-rule

> Notable examples have included nurses refusing to answer telephones, teachers refusing to work for free at night and during weekends and holidays, and police officers refusing to issue citations. Refusal to work overtime, travel on duty, or sign up to other tasks requiring employee assent are other manifestations of using work-to-rule as industrial action.

Basically you do what's required, no more. No (unpaid)overtime, no checking work stuff on your free time etc.

You know, the stuff we in Europe take for granted. American culture from the 50's and 60's was all "just work hard and The Company will see it you'll get that promotion!". It barely worked then, it doesn't work now - especially in medium to large corporations.
I used to do the same thing but I got tired of doing that (and they didn’t always respond with the details, but often with another request). Now I just send them to https://polyfill.work.

They have to enter pay, etc. and if it’s a fit for me I’ll hear about it.

(Disclaimer: I made polyfill and it’s a work in progress but I’m looking for feedback on the developer onboarding part so let me have it if it sucks!).

I don’t send them my polyfill profile page because then they’ll have my email and uuid and I want polyfill profiles to be pseudo anonymous.
I would also try to find a way that didn't involve programming. Less bugs.
> Mandate that every port and cable is labelled with those two numbers and any associated icons

lol there are still HDMI cables without an HDMI logo on them. There are still plain old full speed USB cables without the USB logo on them. China alone will destroy this single requirement and laugh as they sell hundreds of millions of cables per year.

I really do wish it were possible to mandate this. Things would be easier.
from another perspective; you get paid to not pollute the planet and do nothing instead.

I used to hate the word 'privilidge', but it applies here perfectly.

Like a person who has spare $10,000 laying around and a lawyer on retainer can't even fathom how this is a problem.

Maybe you lost $3000 of tickets for a family flight, and booking replacement tickets will costs 2x as much because you are booking short notice.

And maybe if you cant get replacement tickets, now you loose $5,000 of hotel, so now your total losses are 8k.

And if you don't know the law and don't have legslly literste friends, maybe you never get compensation

> Draft rules circulated in June (https://bit.ly/3KIrfuM) ... said that significant social media messaging platforms shall allow identification of the first originator of information if directed by courts to do so.

Is this another example of a government writing a rule of the form "we don't want you to break E2E encryption, but we want you to do this thing that requires you to break E2E encryption"?
Steve Jobs may have had an issue with that one. He seemed to do OK. :-)

Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important—creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.

I’ve ridden the TGV and Shinkansen. They don’t go to my kids’ grandparents’ house, but when they do (or hell, even something like the German ICE does), I’ll use them. I’m not anti-train; I am anti-impractical-train.

Today, Amtrak takes 22.5-27 hours to go 642 miles Boston to Columbus, OH. I can drive there in around half the time (likely less once you add the time to/from train stations) or fly there in 1/4 the time.

That’s a perfect distance for actual high-speed rail.

To the other grandparents, Amtrak can get me 657 miles in 18.5 hours to a place about 100 miles from their house. That leaves once per day at 9:30 PM and still leaves me 2 hours drive from their house (which is in a tourist area near the ocean, not some unpopulated area). Another perfect distance for HSR where I can drive there in less than half the time or fly there in around 1/4 the time Amtrak takes today.
There are still holes in this scheme which would require more fields and/or just leaving data out. Ports/cables can support multiple (but not necessarily all!) voltages for PD. This scheme as written doesn’t capture Thunderbolt compatibility at all, or alternate modes for DisplayPort.

My point is, while it’s certainly possible to come up with an unwieldy naming scheme that covers everything, given the current state of what USB supports, it’s not possible to have a scheme that’s simple and unambiguous. Major changes would be required to the protocol/certification requirements to make that happen.

It is something a lot of voters in the US agree with, which is where most commenters on HN are from.

The US as a nation is incredibly new and imported millions of people to build its population from almost nothing.

Communities being born and dying due to economics is something that has been happening in the US constantly, at a large scale, for its entire existence.

Maybe that's why some people are okay with this.
> The bots also try hard to circumvent blocks that the author needed to put in place, rather than spending the time learning how to run their own instance and going to town on that.

So a three-way arms race, with the author fighting a similar battle in parts against the bots that is being fought in the other direction with their bot and fb/insta.

The enemy of my enemy may still be a pain in the arse for me!

> Of course, it's open source so it's not like it's "discontinued"

Aye, if there is enough value in it for someone else (who has the time and relevant skills) they'll pick up the reigns directly (if the author agrees) or in a fork – as happened when youtube-dl stagnated a bit.

> The official server will even remain online

And there are other instances. Or you can spin up your own if you don't mind (or want to try fix) the existing limitations & future breakages.
You could just get an allocation from RIPE for example, they'll give you a /29 without any justification required. Pretty much all dedicated server hosts will have a plenty of IPv6 space they can give you for a few $ per month.

Tunnels would've been too slow for my purposes.

> Can you set external IP per request?

Yeah, of course. You can just use the IP_FREEBIND socket option.
Like any Sandra Bullock movie, I can't tell if I have witnessed the funniest or most achingly sad thing I have ever seen. I like both.
You're thinking on the right path, but I'd suggest going wider than videogames.

I built a math program in Newark that worked stunningly well because it took the level assessment/lessons/testing from Khan and gamified it.

Not gamification in the electronic badge/"you did it!!!"/points sense, but contests between kids, with teams rooting each other on and parents helping run the show.

Education needs genuine praise and involvement to inspire children to put in the necessary effort. But videogaming the experience is a solution in search of a problem. We need less isolation and more coaching.
I feel like it’s only about 15% of the time that a flight is canceled in advance of the 24hr check in window, most of the time it’s canceled after it’s scheduled departure time, so don’t really see any benefit here, if they only charged me once I arrived at my destination, that’s another story…
That doesn't mean that "quiet quitting" (which is a slight variation on the much older concept of "work-to-rule") isn't about bad bosses.

It's been my experience that if you're burning out, 95% of the time, it's because your boss (or their bosses, somewhere up the chain) is a bad manager in one form or another, most commonly expecting too much work for the time allotted.

>stochastic terrorism

stochastic terrorism is new speak itself, if redefining inaction to be action, is it redefining silence to be violence, it transitioning from a society focuses on first party liability (i.e am i only responsible for my own actions not the actions of others) to a collectivist mentality of not only am I responsible for my own actions but for the actions of everyone connected to me
I doubted the fact that there really was a fifth level. It seems like exactly what someone would make up on the spot in an embarrasing situation like this.
That happened to me last summer. I had to rebook cancelled flights with British Airways multiple times to get home. In the end i was out over £15000 pounds worth of flights. BA offered me vouchers valid for a year in replacement. In the end i called my credit card company and disputed the charges. They wanted me to pay in the interim, I refused, and a few days later Amex credited my account. 90 days later they said BA had not disputed my claims on time, and I was therefore awarded the full amount.
Of course there is no us and them

But them they do not think the same
Audacity is one of the largest (if not the largest?) still active projects using wxWidgets, it seems like fairly obvious if you are somewhat aware of that.
I would assume that the load through EV charging starts increasingly rapidly after work, which is precisely in that time period. But it's also not like they're singling out EV's. They mention a number of measures they'd like people to take to reduce electricity consumption.
Data aggregation and retainment of such data is the problem. There isn’t a reasonable need for anybody to log such data and such data should also be copyrighted to the entity creating it. Laws should require express written authorization for use from each individual. The generation and retaining should be hard to prevent the data being used for unnecessary uses.
In my area of Germany new 3-4 room apartments(!) sell for 500-700k€. Waiting lists for parcels of land which must be allocated by the city stretch out for years. Old houses even in poor condition and needing major work start around 300k€.

This is not some metropolis or even medium city. Quite the opposite.
kind of ridiculous when there is sun that is causing a heatwave. sun. install some more panels folks.
Again, this sounds like a nightmare and more confusing than the current naming scheme.

I agree that in theory the USB working group should just standardize the ports, but if they’re doing that right, there’s no need for 500 different versions at all. Just mandate that for your device/port/cable to be called USB4, it must support all alternate modes, all PD voltages, etc.
The Nazis were not about Ethnic conflict, they believed to be the master race ... that's very different.

It's interesting you bring up Blank Slate and the Bell Curve. The first I agree with the second I find horribly flawed.

For [1] who are "They" in "They are coming for behaviour genetics"?
Nobody in their right mind in the Sciences refutes that our genes and biology are the underpinning of our behavior and that these change in terms of populations .

I'm friends with way too woke Social Science majors and they have a copy of the "Blank Slate" on their book shelf (signed by Pinker) agreeing with this.
Even Science and Nature do: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1075989

Can you find a biologist or behavior scientist who publishes in Nature/Science and believes in the blank slate (that genetics don't matter only education does)? I really doubt it, that would be absurd.

The problem is with the population, I doubt that the population can correspond to anything vaguely resembling a race concept. Here the Scientific establishment disagrees with the Bell Curve and for a good reason (as Melanin does not tell you much about other genes and our identical ancestors point is not so far out ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identical_ancestors_point ).

To the Bell Curve, it cites over 5 articles from the Mankind Quartely, the Journal you found so influence-less (non from higher impact journals). It also refers a lot to work from Arthur Jensen, he published a paper in the 60s about that differences IQ tests between black and whites might be because of genetics. In the 80s it was found out that the Pioneer Fund subsidized the work (grants for the works were more than a millon dollar). At the time of the writing there was no evidence to support Jensen's work. The authors knew that Jensen did scientific misconduct (with taking the money), yet didn't care ... There are more stories (also in terms of statistics) about the Bell Curve like that ... Bad Science, don't even need to address the flawed arguments ... If you cannot work on decent scientific methodology you are screwed. If you then complain that you are silenced or not taken seriously, you don't get any sympathy from me.

If there is an intelligence gene, where is it? Plomin (the professor whose book got critized in a Nature Review [1]) hasn't found it even though he put a LOT of effort in it. Shouldn't we call him out on that if he claims stuff that's not there (like the Nature review did)? Or should we just ignore it because we still believe in stuff that was published in the 1960 in Mankind Quaterly?

> But do you think you could conceivably publish a paper in Nature which cites something from that journal in a noncritical way?

No, because that journal has shown since the 1960 that it peddles racist pseudo science ... Yet, your statement that you cannot publish this stuff anymore is just not true. It becomes irrelevant because it's wrong (not because there's a secrete elite that does not want to talk about it).
so when was the last time you sent a contract to an airline for them to read and accept?

Or is this another message from a fantasy universe where customers negotiate contracts with major corporations?
>If future lives saved is impossible to quantify and that somehow invalidates the idea of less regulation, would it not therefore invalidate the idea of regualtion as well?

no, since the causality of regulation saving lives is more direct, obvious, and convincing than the causality of less regulation saving lives

the people holding the latter view would need to come up with a convincing argument explaining how less regulation saves more lives than more regulation, ideally specifying the regulation they wish to eliminate
I wouldn’t charge at night in a house with old wiring. 11 kW is a lot of power. Fire risk might be really high.
Not the OP, but taking a look at the DOM, it's rendering each "window" as a canvas. So you have a main window canvas, then canvases for popup menus, message boxes etc. All canvases are using a 2d context, and there are many offscreen canvases created for each interaction for each widget which I assume are then composited to the window canvases.

It's an amazing project! If the OP is here, do you have any plans for accessibility to screen readers? I suppose it's a similar problem to that with Flutter.

I also wander if there is a possibility to combine your wxWidget port with the work going into WASM Python...

Edit:

Taking a closer looks at how the wxWidget port works, wxWidgets has multiple backends using native widgets on each platform. They also have wxUniversal which draws each widget itself to a frame buffer, this port uses that as a base to draw the ui to html canvases.
Planting a tree too late in the spring is nearly 100% likely fatal on its own, planting it too shallowly makes it even worse. You have to give the tree time to expand its roots before summer.
I live in the UK but have family in Australia - I can imagine there’s no privacy there either but I was wondering what the law is?

Modern aircraft use turbines, either as turboprops or jet engines. Those burn kerosene.
A chargeback should get you the money back and that would be the end of it. It takes 30 days or so.
There’s virtually no chance they will be able to prove they provided you the service that you paid for, since the flight was cancelled. The credit card company will then side with the customer.
While it's true that Rome never really came close to being a democracy, that's not to say that representation and accountability weren't relevant. The questions of who represented the interests of the plebs and the military were central to the crises at the end of the Republic (the Gracchi, the Marian reforms, Clodius, Caesar etc), and again in the late empire (all the barracks emperors).
And those are following totally different certification requirements.
You have to introduce ordering in your KPIs. If developer experience is more important, then you can get better results with cross platform. If user experience is more important, then you are virtually guaranteed to get better results with native. Personally I’m of the opinion that user experience should never be subordinate to developer experience, so at least for me the choice is clear: native.

Also consider whether you will benefit from a broad install base, i.e. when building a social app, or if you can go for one platform first. Lastly, I’d consider the stage your in, i.e, are you trying to find product market fit or not.

If native stills feels like a lot of extra work, I’d suggest building a common core, in e.g. Rust, to share non-UI code between the platforms.
So tell me, what happens when companies lie?

If I call up an airline and ask them: what happens when you bump me off, and they say they will find me a new flight immediately.

In practice they often dont wven pick up the phone because they don't have enough staff.

And they get away with this
>>The site posted the video and manifesto of the Christchurch shooting.

Ok, and? I 100% disagree with the active censorship around current events we see every day, from police shootings to terrorism people should be forced to confront the raw reality of the world not a candy coated version put through the filters of main stream media.

>So there, three different citations that,

No those are claims that do not really have a fact based narrative behind them, further even if the claims are taken at face value you are blaming the site for actions of people off the site that may be members, 3d party liability.

Going back to the 8Chan, and Daily Stormer they were banned for illegal content ON THE SITE, not because members of the site did things off that site.

Posting mean or even offensive things on a website should never be a bannable event, and to the extent people are taking actions offsite, or offline to the point of direct harassment, swatting etc those INDIVIDUALS should be criminally prosecuted for their own actions

Yeah the rest of the world is thrilled that you want to build nuclear power plants on the most famous fault line in the world.
Nuclear power is good for providing base power not for reacting to spikes in demand. You cannot just spin up production of a nuclear power plant when you need it and shut it down when you don’t. They’re always producing so when demand is low, they’re producing too much and wasting it. If the California grid cannot meet its demand at its lowest, then yes, base power like nuclear would be a good solution. Heatwaves generally pass though.
I really enjoyed this rant/vent, and IMO occasionally just a gush of frustration about A Thing is entirely healthy :-)

I think we do value surface traits too highly - "magnetic, fascinating, stunning, attractive, glowing, dominant, forceful and energetic" - as the article illustrates.

Why not, I mean they are positive and nice and not to be condemned in any way, but they are just a bit too valued over other better traits - the downgraded "citizenship, duty, work, golden deeds, honor, reputation, morals, manners and integrity".

A society which lauded the quiet achievers, or simply the concept of diligent accomplishment, would be nice I think.
I wonder if it will be possible to instead provide it with two keyframes and it interpolate the frames in between?
Known_hosts can also be put in DNSSEC, using the SSHFP DNS record. OpenSSH understands that out of the box.
Because the more people work, the more stuff is produced.

The more stuff is produced, the more of it there is. The more of it there is, the less it costs. There is more to go around.
