Where is your outrage against Israel who shell and attack the Gaza strip and who steal land from the Palestinians in the West Bank?

Where is your outrage when the USA attacks a foreign country with impunity and kills tens of thousands of "collateral damage" civillians in order to gain access to oil and gas resources or strategic trade routes or military positions?

.... all i hear is your silence

But when Russia does something to protect their border, ooooohhh, big bad russia.... must punish with useless sanctions that only hurt EU and the rest of the world.

Like the German Green Party member Annalena Baerbock who does not care if German people freeze and die in winter because a foreign countries conflict is more important than her own people.

" I will put Ukraine first “no matter what my German voters think” or how hard their life gets. "

Zelensky is a puppet for the USA and will never relinquish this failure of a war against Russia, regardless of how many Ukrainians die in the process, because 1) he is receiving essentially and endless supply of arms and military aid from the US and 2) his ego won't allow it.
Sites are usually quite careful about this because they don't want to get banned. Google's rules, for example, are quite complex, allowing the search engine to get the full content of every article but with users seeing a small number of free articles and then a paywall after that: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/appearanc...

It sounds like your proposed change would have the search engine use its influence to push sites away from paywall models?
I use a Purism Librem 5. It doesn't run Android. You're welcome.
Agreed, what takes seconds now (click square or row, click to reload, repeat until it works well enough) would be going to take minutes, possibly large fractions of an hour. A two orders of magnitude change for the worse means that it's unusable. It's not life and death, where one adapts no matter what.
Some people are absolutely going to die, but then we are talking very large numbers and most policy produces casualties of some sort.

You are most likely talking older and poorer people. Some will maybe get sick due to insufficient money to heat, some will die from monoxide poisoning from using unfamiliar and improper stoves.
I agree this is a good feature, however it's 2022 and maybe the government should start forcing companies like Verizon to take some of the $50 billion in profits they make per year and build cell towers in remote areas even if it means they won't make a 1,000% profit from doing so?
Excellent identification ! Probably happens with every image with exacerbated cheek rosacea, triggers connections to blood too
It's so psychologically convenient though. Choose between policies attached to faces/parties in elections, and then blame the face when the policy turns out to be terrible, or feel you made such a wise voting decision if it seems to work out.

(Apologies if you weren't being sarcastic, wasn't sure)

edit: and of course the elected people bear their share of the blame, I don't mean to exclude them, but voters hired them to do what they say they're going to do in face of the ongoing climate catastrophe situation. Marketplace of ideas, etc. They're proxies.
It already is gamed. Almost anyone who has a brand targetted at high class consumers already astrotufs the living crap out of Reddit.

In Reddit's case this is made even more odious by its propensity for group-think and dogpiling so you can't even call it out once the liking for the product has taken hold.
I'm continually amazed that Abe's assassin appears to have successfully turned the media spotlight exactly where he wanted it to be, and so successfully turned public sentiment against Abe that a vast majority of the population now opposes a state funeral for him.
Yes. When you use ads, you naturally tune your site to maximize profit from those ads. If that's your goal, great, but that's not the web I want to use. And maybe, thinking about it, it's not the web you want to create, either.

I've made a lot of content. It's available for free with no ads. I subsidize that work with other work.

If you offer me a way to see the content without ads, I'll go for it. I've bought a lot of content. If the choice is $5 for a movie without ads or a $0 movie with ads, I'll pay every time.

Otherwise, it's the ad blocker for you. Ads are mental poison. And they greedily use my CPU and battery. :) Want a turbo button for the web? Turn on ad blocking.

I was just thinking the other day that I'd probably tolerate black-and-white static ads on a site, like in [paper] newspapers. But these attention-sucking brainwashing CPU-hogging things... Forget them.
Contrariwise, to me you seem to be the confused party.

I am contrasting the compression given by lzw or zip as discussed in the article, which would be unable to significantly compress the bit sequence of pi, with the "compression technique" of simply calculating the same sequence (in order!) with a short program.

A lookup table is irrelevant, since we're talking about printing out the first 10 billion pi digits in order by a simple algorithm for computing them, not about anything involving calculating their frequency or probability. (In any case, since those digits pass statistical randomness tests, the frequency distribution wouldn't tell you much, which is why zip-style compression fails on pi.)

The point I'm making is that running a very short program can print a 10 billion digit sequence which stats-based compression methods would fail to significantly compress. The digits of pi happen to be a good example of this, but there are likely plenty of others.

Regards the second part of your comment, the notion of a "deterministic pattern" is intriguing, but what does it mean? If you mean "not random" then in the algorithmic information world that equates to "can be printed by a program shorter than itself". Obviously any (including random) sequence can be printed by some program, but the presence of regularity (or "patterns" if you like) in a sequence allows shorter encodings, either by creating a dictionary of recurring subsequences, as in lzw or zip style compression, or by some other means as in the calculation of pi's digits.

I suggest you read up on AIT or Kolmogorov complexity at the wikipedia links I posted to get an idea of what my comment was actually about :)
Ah. Ok. Though apparently just with emergency dispatchers. Though that is more useful than just a beacon in a number of respects.
Lol yeah, it's like how I say I can't live with these health problems.

Yeah, I can, it turns out. Our bodies can take a loooot more stress than we think.
Stop being a snobby elitest. Choosing an Apple phone doesn't make you better than, and making life-choices based on such matters.. well, good luck with that.

I guess Bill Gates just wasn't charming enough.
Wow. "I don't like one type of product so loose your preferences, stop thinking and start using what ever I say so!"
I don't think it can be done. Not really. The hardware can be done. But once the manufacturer stops selling the phone, the number of users starts dwindling, and porting a new version of the OS to an old device can be hard work, depending on what the OS changes.

At some point porting new versions of the OS will no longer make sense given the remaining user base, and I find it really difficult to believe that that point will only be reached after >10 years.
Generalizing Asian countries is usually as useful as generalizing Canada, the US, and Mexico as just North American countries. There are some extremely high level things you can point out, but it's often useless to try and come to conclusions about the group as a whole.

Perhaps part of the problem is that you live in a world surrounded by things that are hyper-optimized to feed your addiction rather than bring you joy?

If you plan to use electric heater, switch to AC - regular heater or whatever have efficiency of mere 100%, while AC is a heat pump and can transfer heat at 200-500+% efficiency
That's kinda moving the goalposts. I agree that Solid is one of the more viable competitors to react for the combination of JSX + a VDOM-less model (this operates much like svelte), but my point was that it wasn't *Solely* Solid's use of JSX (there are many others adopting or trying to adopt JSX) that makes it viable.

Reddit in particular with its very strong groupthink/circle jerk loop is really susceptible to this. Marketer's content gets popular/upvoted, then people parrot it, they get upvoted, repeat.

This is an absolutely horrifying discovery.

Reddit was the last place for online product discussions, that wasn't crawling with affiliate links and astroturfing.

Now that there is a 'data-driven' robot crawling these subs, there is no doubt the volume of spam posts will increase to bump up the numbers on this website's front end.

One day we'll look at affiliate links as one of the 10 major factors that made the web worse.

The average Joe does not know the difference between SMS and the more advanced features that iMessage offers when messaging withing the apple ecosystem. All they see is that androids are unable to send high quality images, send reactions etc.
There are other services that offer this and have been building their graphs of high trust reviews of products for a while. I see some issues with this service’s sentiment analysis - this was already highlighted well by Owen Pearson (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32764846)

Vetted.ai (formerly Lustre) is probably the leader in this space.
Content providers would push back pretty hard on the idea that a second on every site is worth the same. A high quality news article and a listicle cost very different amounts to produce, and we don't want even more of a race to the bottom here.
I agree. However, I find that you can find a few used off of ebay. And also, they seem to hold their resale value pretty well. So you can buy one and see if it works for you and then sell it if you regret.

I think the problem with a showroom is that you really need to invest at least a week or two to get used to the split keyboard. But for me, it was totally worth it.

Does anybody know something similar, with a trackball?

I got interested in these split ergo keyboards when I saw the new Kinesis models [0] but unfortunately they don't ship to my location.

I came across the Charybdis [1] and I loved the idea but I'm not capable enough to assemble it myself and the guy making them has a many week lead time, so I'd love an equivalent.

Europe Is Sacrificing Its Ancient Forests for Energy
To me ads seem only to negatively UX more than anything. Case in point, I have began noticing a more than usual amount of ads on Twitter recently. I now get a sponsored ad after very 3 tweets compared to the one or two quick ones on every homepage load, sometimes none at all.

This has put me off the platform until they either A) Shift back to the previous acceptable amount of ads. B) Show a negligible amount of ads am willing to compromise on. C) Go out of my way to bypass the ads using a controlled client.

Only reasonable option left here would be C meaning using 3rd party clients that are limited feature-wise and give a worse UX experience than not using Twitter at all. This route in the long run hampers my Twitter experience to the extent that I would rather go back to square one and avoid using Twitter altogether.
That's not funny, that's sad.
Nobody here has noticed (or I haven't seen a comment) but these kinds of things implicitly feel like being mentioned is some form of recommendation.

But there are times where things are used as a comparison.

For example; r/buyitforlife's second most mentioned brand is Ikea: https://looria.com/reddit/BuyItForLife

I don't think there are many here who would agree that IKEA furniture is designed for life, far from it.
I'm going to be honest...

I hate that it is in my interest for this to never become popular. It's a situation where my faith in the listed products is inversely proportional to the popularity of your site.
This is a myth that Microsoft “bailed Apple out”.

At the time of the MS deal, Apple had 4 Billion in the bank because of a loan that Amelia had already secured.

Microsoft invested $250 Million in Apple and a month later, Apple spent $100 million to buy out PowerComputing’s Mac license. It also took 4 years before Apple was profitable after the deal

The other myth is that Microsoft “agreed to port Office to the Mac” in 1997. By 1997, Word and Excel had been on the Mac since the mid 80s. MS agreed to keep supporting Office on the Mac.

This isn't very useful IMO, because Reddit (and subreddits) are echo chambers. I can't comment for every category, but good examples that I am familiar with are Cars, Coffee, and Vacuum Cleaners. Without deep diving each case, I can say that certain product mentions in these categories are basically guaranteed upvotes because those subreddits' primary readers are biased towards particular brands or attracts a particular kind of person.

The love of the MX-5 Miata and the Aeropress are good examples here -- they are both very niche things loved by a very particular group of persons, but I would never recommend either as a general answer to "What car should I buy?" or "What coffee maker is the best?". They are specialized products for specific kinds of people.

Many of the other categories I glanced at look similar.

Also, pianos doesn't make sense, as the Piano subreddit isn't about buying pianos, it is about playing music and learning to play. There aren't even any actual acoustic pianos recommended!
I love how you worded your advice here and I agree this is the best approach because macroeconomics is a "social science".

Everything you hear and understand about central banking as it exists today is just part of the prevailing school of economic thought. It is not the only way forward and many would argue it is not even the best way forward (but we are always led to believe it is)
For the same reason that rolling blackouts in Texas and recently California are not really leading to changes in the status quo. Complacency. And lets be fair, Europe has a way more resilient power network. Six months of severe disruptions to gas supplies and everything is still running smoothly. It's the cost that is concerning but so far there have been no major disruptions to grid stability.

If I’m traveling to another country, I might want a local number so that people in that country can call me from without incurring a long distance call charge.

Also, a lot of 2 factor verification systems have trouble messaging international numbers. A lot of the airport Wi-Fi’s I try to log into, for example, almost never succeed in sending me a pin on my international number.

Adding a roaming data plan to my existing number only solves a small number of the problems international travelers face. And even those problems are almost always resolved at a higher cost than getting a local SIM.
Between the screen and accessories this ends up being way more expensive than any used laptop that WILL outperform it while being way more comfortable. Not to mention if you don't already have a capable phone and/or a bunch of accessories.

The worst part is this kind of setup is always finicky to use and harder to debug, which is the last thing you want in a developer machine.
I really like helix, but the one thing I miss most from kakoune is the ability to just hold down shift and press hjkl or arrow keys and get a nice selection going.

The Medium/Spotify model -- per-user constant subscription fee, apportioned to content creators on the basis of their views + some time-viewing / read-to-end adjustments to discourage clickbaiting -- seems fairly decent, but really requires a global platform to work.

But product companies don't like it because they can't scale revenue user-transparently by repackaging data (e.g. building new / better ad products), and raising prices for users sucks.

The original sin is that the web was free, and the consequence of that, once post-content-scarcity in a free market system, has been continual sleight of hand to make money from "free."

If everyone has gotten in the habit of paying for quality content... we'd have a very different world now.

(And this said as a hard-charging "information wants to be free" type. But the end commercial result nowadays is terrible)
Yeah, fuck Putin's Russia.
Japan had a cult crisis circa 1990. This was the most famous example

Why would you think it's Jobs' car and not a random new purchase?
I'm also uncomfortable with what these companies do with the data they collect, however I think there is a difference in that I directly entered into an agreement with these companies, signed a contract and have some avenues of recourse such as closing my account and moving to a competitor, complaining to a regulator or even going to court.

When it comes to ad companies hoovering up data wherever they can I have practically no options to do anything about it, even figuring out which companies have collected my data would be a sisyphean task

Let’s say there’s a hamburger restaurant. Now, this hamburger restaurant has an interesting business model. They way it works is, they give out burgers for free. They do that because they get money from lettuce producers to put lettuce in their burgers. It’s a pretty good model right? People get free burgers and lettuce producers get their lettuce in the peoples mouths.

I personally don’t like lettuce. I removed it from my burgers. Am I not allowed to remove lettuce from my burger? Am I forced to consume lettuce?

And before you tell me to look for another burger place, let me remind you there’s no other burger place. All burger places have this business model. All burger places give burgers for free sponsored by Big Lettuce.

So let me ask you again. Am I not allowed to remove lettuce from my own God damned burger?
I have been seeing this meme about the kettle recently. I ran the numbers and you are talking a few cents per boil even at current energy prices. You’d have to be drinking truly epic amounts of tea to see it affect your electric bill.

I haven't tried the moonlander. In which ways do you find it superior to the Ergodox EZ? What made me go for the EZ over the moonlander was the extra thumb buttons. Admitted, I do not use those too often, however, they are still quite useful.

So I’ve been into mechanical keyboards for about two and a half years now. Here’s how I would roughly rank layout changes I’ve tried

1. Split or unibody split
2. Moving to a smaller form factor (40% keyboard) so that my fingers don’t move nearly as far from the home row)
3. Ortholinear on a non-split board

I’ve tried ortholinear alone, ortho on split, and row staggered on split. I feel like split is the most improvement in comfort for me in general. But, on a split board I do prefer ortho, if that helps. On a non-split board, I’m not sure ortho has a huge effect for me, I use both regularly and don’t notice a big difference.

I honestly may even rank 40% boards as number one, because of how useful having numbers and symbols so close to or on the homerow is for comfort.

So anyway, those are my two cents from my experience
Decreased comfort = decreased productivity. On an individual level people can cope but on a societal level it’s a real issue. I want a society full of productive people so I want investment in clean energy supplies and high performance buildings.
Reminds me of that delayed gratification experiment with the kids and chocolates, except instead of eating the 2x reward the kid will then hold off for even more (for their whole life)!
I’m with you on this. I’d love to be able to replace the thumb cluster on one side with a trackball.
Pardon me saying so, but it seems awfully convenient to adopt morals only when you can afford them. What about people who aren't as well off as you are...do you think it's immoral for them to make a living from providing housing?
Agreed. Choosing Apple is like watching The Big Bang Theory. Or buying some burnt trash from Starbucks.

What's wrong with svelte's documentation or the community interaction that's happening around svelete?

My point is that you've seemingly taken points away from Rich for the same reasons you're giving Evan You validity.

Migrating between react and vue would take probably the same amount of time -- I'm not really sure what your point is here. My point is that you've unfairly discounted Svelte on the same standards you're raising vue.
Make sure you office is the smallest room and get a space heater to keep it at your desired temprature
Good point. I did watch the keynote. SOS and Find My coordinates are the only explicitly specified use cases. But it's a paid service with the first 2 years free. I made the assumption you should be able to send text messages, because asking people to pay for a service that only lets you communicate with emergency services and that's all seems like a much less compelling product which is a bit un-Apple like. But then again, they have done lousy products before so it's possible they went with the less-compelling option.
They already did that, it was called Product Hunt, and it quickly became a landfill of low-quality side projects .
There is some hope for gas prices, as other countries are steeping in to replace russias' (hopefully permanently)

I have a bit of a tardigrade obsession- so much so that I built my own motorized microscope (far cheaper than scientists use) and trained an object detector so I can track individual tardigrades as they move around a large area. Eventually a friend who knows one of the world's leading tardigrade researchers and introduced me and now we have a plan to do some more experiments using the tech I built.

It takes up many late evenings but the resulting imagery is indeed fascinating- I managed to image tardigrades egg grow and hatch in realtime.
