I think running an ad blocker is freeloading, the same as using paywall-bypassing software. There are worse things people regularly do, but I do think it's minorly wrong and I don't run an ad blocker.

I would be fine with ad blockers that only blocked ads, as long as publishers could chose to refuse service to users running ad blockers or ask them to turn their ad blocker off. But uBlock Origin etc don't just block ads, they also pretend to the site that the ads aren't blocked.

You get 4-9 images at a time and it takes literally 2 seconds to look and decide which to save. Saying it's "unusable" because you CAN get bad images is missing out..
No, you see Reddit is a magical place! The moderator cabal is great at their job, and the users are all angels. Why would anything be fake on Reddit? /s
I'm definitely excited to see this succeed.

As a long time open source developer, I find that the managing payments part takes up way too much time.

Also I've been told that it is very difficult to find/connect with expert developers. I don't get this but hey if Ringer can help here, that's great too!

I tried to switch for a Nokia dumb phone a while back and I got burned by buying one that didn't support the right bands (definitely no LTE). It got borderline unusable service and I had to give it up.

Next phone I get will probably be a dumb phone, but it's just something to be wary about for other potential buyers. If anyone has good resources on understanding this stuff, I'd love it. Otherwise I'll have to write it up when I learn next time. It feels like it's hard to get good info on.
Yes, this is how I feel about marketing in the 21st century as well. Most pointedly that lies and psychological manipulation have become the status quo. Unfortunately there are so many products and so much information available that it's difficult (impossible?) to actually discern the good products from the bad. As well as to discern the value of good products.

Lying and manipulation as marketing aren't exactly new, but it's more pervasive, to the point that it seems impossible to succeed without stretching the truth of your capabilities. Everybody else is doing it after all, and there is no penalty. By the time your customers find out you screwed them, they've already paid for your product twice and told their friends it was 5/5 would buy again.
I really appreciate your efforts. There are many text editor but most of them lack some features critical for detail writing.

Full featured image, video, embed, math, table, symboll support will put BlockNote in a good position.
I've always wanted something similar in C#. By convention, byte arrays are used for handling arbitrary blobs; but they are mutable and don't have the same kind of support that strings have. C# strings are immutable and have lots of supporting methods.
The solution to this crisis is for the remaining free people of the world to start demanding war criminals be prosecuted for their actions - whether American or Russian, it doesn't matter.

Until we start jailing the war criminals and undoing the actions they've taken, we're headed into the abyss.
My understanding is Babylon 5 was shot on 35mm film -- the same used for movies.
I think you're misunderstanding my feedback. It should just be a web app. You'll never have a reason to create a native app if it's just a social network.

Some more feedback: it looks like you're promising Twitter with a technology/entrepreneurship focus. That's like telling someone you're building an apartment building that only software developers will move into. You have to actively moderate the discussion (HN is one of the most heavily moderated social networks, if not the most). So what you're really pitching isn't a software issue, it's two things that have nothing to do with software: A) acquiring users, and B) making sure that they only post within your topic.

Like most social networks, it's not a software challenge at all. The software part is easy. The challenge is marketing and moderation.

To take it one step further: you shouldn't even bother to write your own code for this, since there are now a ton of open-source Facebook/Twitter/Reddit clones available.

Then make me sign a contract that exchanges the service for my action of viewing the ads. Make it an official transaction. Right now they want it both ways where the content is "free" but I'm also stealing it by not paying.

I hadn't thought about this from the creators' perspective.

I'd have a super hard time being passionate about something if I had any suspicion that an HBO exec could arbitrarily memoryhole my entire works in an afternoon meeting.

I've seen this with some music too. I observed two different artists get completely erased from the goddamn internet. I still have the ghost in my Spotify playlist, but not a single trace on google, YouTube, etc. I can remember what their music sounds like, but I did not have the foresight to rip it out of Spotify. Absolutely gone without a trace. I'm sure whoever created those tracks was hoping for this outcome...
Yes, there are many solutions to this problem if you don’t mind hosting yet another service, but the best would be if the integrated API routes wouldn’t suck so hard.
FWIW I think the author is trying to simulate let binding (or lambda binding, or both). But since there’s no syntactic scope you have to do your own stack management. Ugly and clunky. But this isn’t really a language intended to be used. It’s sort of like lisp assembly.
I'm the guy that used his S2 till it broke and now I'm using an Xperia that's reaching 6 years in 2 months. I don't use my phone for anything else then messaging and browsing. Both phones worked flawlessly and battery life degradation is almost unnoticeable. My Xperia can now run only 1.5 days instead of 2. No problem when it's charging every night anyway.
I think a more valid question is how someone can focus something for 30 years while most people cannot do that. This definitely cannot be explained by IQ, initial curiosity and others. Some people can tolerate this perseverance but others cannot.
Just because the egg/wheel format existed, didn't mean that they where actually used and actually worked. Being able to reliable pip install packages like numpy and gdal only started 3-4 years ago. There is a reason that Christoph Gohlke's python package site exists and was popular.
I was looking at the Dygma Raise when I discovered ortholinear layouts. That led me to the Moonlander, but now Dygma has the Defy which is a more premium gamer look to it. If anyone is curious it starts at $350 USD to preorder.

That said, I’m happy with my Moonlander using it with a Dvorak layout. Had it for about 2 years now. Only issue is that it slides around when tented.
Understanding central banking, like so many other things, also means understanding philosophies, worldviews, perceptions, and outlooks. And goals. Especially goals.

So yes, read. But my advice: read widely, not naively, because economic theory looks like math from the shoreline but it tastes and feels like philosophy when you dive in.

> What other bizarre opinions, internal or external, would they have?

From experience: When your government spies on you and locks folks up without due process, this is good because it keeps the children safe. And a host of other convictions that are so toxic I cannot say them online without feeling dirty. These are the kind of people that say "think of the children" without irony, that view the world in purely adversarial terms and do their best to hate as many things as they can. They live to make everyone around them miserable.

I have seen this repeatedly and only from this kind of person. I am glad I don't have them around me anymore, but sad that other people might.

> I don't think that I could trust them with literally anything.

It being the case that these are the purest of bad faith actors, you can at least trust them to ruin whatever they touch. It's something :)

> Politically, military professionals confront an extremely adverse environment characterized by the divisiveness of affective polarization that culminated in the first election in over a century when the peaceful transfer of political power was disrupted and in doubt

This is a lot of words for "Please for god's sake do not put us in the position of having to decide which of the two competing claimants for President is the legitimate one when one or both is ordering us to turn our guns on Americans".

(I remember a Romanian friend of mine explaining the situation after the fall of Ceaucescu; because there was no real legitimate succession, no democracy, and the leader had just been executed by his own security services, there were outbreaks of reports of "terrorism" that led to different army units firing on each other in the streets. It was an incredibly confused situation.)
What does it have to do with the US? This is about the EU only. The EU only put all focus on "green" energy and then tried to solve the problems it created with fossil fuels while forgetting about or even actively working against nuclear. What the US did has nothing to do with that.
I really like the solution put forth by Brave. Basically reify the attention economy and make it explicit so that you, as the producer of your attention get a say and a monetary stake in it.
Fusion sounds like hyper effective power storage/retrieval to me.
The way we use it in our apps is to take a pool of identified experts for a search query, augment it with relevant news from other sites about the topic, sprinkle a little bit of quantitative KPI data over it, calculate various NLP scores, and then shake it well and voila, you get a nice aggregate of socially validated data.
Works well and it reduces the noise significantly.

Well if you go really really fast aero is the most important. The aerodynamics of an upright rider is worse than a semi truck. Also the breathing aspect is only really relevant for longer efforts. If you want to race 150 other guys through small European roads for 21 days in a row, up right is better.

Recumbent vs. upright is actually an over 100 year old battle, over misunderstanding each others needs and wants from a bike. Many recumbent people are still sour over UCI banning non-double diamond frames.

When I was a kid, I thought IKEA product codes (eg: 002.638.50) were coordinates in 3D space of where the item was stored in a giant IKEA warehouse (like in the film Cube, but less deadly).

I'd like to know the reasoning behind it though. Parts of a same product usually have very different numbers.

Open to suggestions and criticism. Mainly curious about things I've potentially missed.
Taking tests is an important frog. It’s been quite a few years for me, but lately the movement to dethrone tests like SAT made me wonder how disadvantaged kids can distinguish themselves without a quantifier for potential. If it’s essays instead of a math score, then maybe an essay is like this article says, improved messaging makes bad startups look like good ones.
It will never happen, and not because of the money. The money is there, the "city" is just unfeasible from almost any angle.

Setting aside how you're going to build a "green" city in the desert, you can't just stuff an entire city into a line. This might work if it was a district (one of those live play work places) but as an entire city it just raises far too many questions. How would essential services operate? How is an ambulance supposed to work without roads?

Biggest hurdle is that there seems to be zero room for expansion or adjustment. You build this line and what happens in 20 or 30 years when the "city" is bursting at the seams, you have X Y and Z problem and no way to fix it because you build your city in a straight line and not like a normal city with room for expansion.

If this ever happens it won't be a "city" so much as it will be a tourist district. They have enough money to build this thing for sure, just not sure if they would want to go the "city" route since there are so many variables that will be out of their control and highly constrained by the design.
I'm not sure if this adds anything. I know there's no contract. But while the system can shoulder a certain load of parasitic behaviour, if everyone does as you say then it stops working. So practically speaking it is a quid quo pro.

A better analogue for your description is something like the Guardian website, where you don't have to pay for it, but it does require a certain number of people to volunteer to subscribe for it to work.

Another different model is paywalls, which you may be correct in saying will pop up increasingly as use of ad blockers decreases ad revenue sufficiently.

True, but I always take in information from many sources. As I type this I'm sitting next to my no name bluetooth headset from some Chinese company I have never heard from before and it's worked flawlessly for the last 6 months. I found reviews from Reddit, Amazon, Online forums and even one person who has a blog. I found enough of what I consider actual users experience. Especially on Reddit people will comment and generate back and forth conversations that give me confidence that I'm not wasting money on something that does not suit my needs.

It may not be perfect, but in Reddits case you can see a users comment history as well and if they are active on other subreddits not dedicated to a single product or set of products. Redditors also tend to overshare information about themselves, so, you can really tell who's a user and who's not. I could be wrong but it takes more than cat pictures to fool me.

I think in niche subreddits are pretty resilient to this kind of gorilla marketing, at least in my experience. Folks who join them are usually pretty vocal when they've used a product and had good or bad experiences with it.

Even in large niche subreddits like /r/coffee, /r/homebrewing, and /r/skincareaddiction which are all over 1m followers, there's pretty good self-moderation and calling out of astroturfing. /r/skincareaddiction might be the most susceptible to it since there are just so many products and skincare is pretty specific to the person, but I still see folks calling out shill posts and comments.

I said IF you could choose not to pay (if it was legal, the owner did not mind it), it WOULD make more sense not to pay (as you would save your money). That is how it is with websites today, the owners let you do it, even though they could prevent you from accessing their content.
"to fight inflation?" Really? Meanwhile, they revised inflation expectations up.

If you want to fight inflation instead of saying you're fighting inflation, try a several point raise.

> but if there's no fuel or staff, it's going to be idle

That would indicate that there is a gas shortage in the UK right now which isn't true. In terms of staff the daily operations of a plant only requires a handful of people. There was I think only 2 control room operators on duty at the 1200 MW plant I was working in near Bristol (Seabank power station). So I suspect it's not that he's referring to.

Given that he was a scientist at Oxford he must have data to back this up but I'd like to see what plants shutdown.

Edit: Actually I'm wrong the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies looks like some thinktank that props up oil and gas. The board of directors tell you what you need to know about them. I think this whole article is garbage.

> Even if you lied that you are older then 13 years , did the Cam girls company paid FB to show that ad for ages between 13-18? Why? To prepare their minds for the future ?

From the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/jul/26/children-lie-a...):

> The survey found that 83% of the 11 to 15 year olds whose internet usage was monitored registered on a social media site with a false age.

> Just over 40% of the children signed in stating they were over 18 years of age, with one even claiming to be 88.

--

> company that buys ads on FB you should know that FB will probably show ads to those children and you will pay for it because those super genius developers are too busy with more important projects like some new framework

That seems like a pretty cartoonish view of FB employees. They are trying to solve the problem. People who argue like you have rarely ever actually had experience running FB ads (more cutthroat than you'd think; FB isn't omniscient despite media reporting). The #1 priority at every large company is protecting their brand (see ex App Store review chief: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJeEuxn9mug). Many people (like you) constantly condemn large corporations ("why don't they just...") due to a lack of empathy and inability to put yourself in these people's shoes. If all the people saying "why doesn't Apple put a headphone jack back in, it doesn't take that much space!" actually had to undergo the pressure of working for Apple's hardware design team, they'd understand the tradeoffs far better and spread less uninformed criticism.
