>So the platforms are stuck trying to appease the angry mob, while spending as little resources on it as possible (hence, shitty algorithms).

Actually, I'd posit that the platforms are drooling with anticipation and glee at being able to monetize that angry mob. Anger, fear and outrage boosts engagement after all.

And that's what platforms want, because increased engagement means increased ad revenue. And that's not exactly breaking news either.

I purchased the "Carson MicroBrite Plus 60x-120x Power LED Lighted Pocket Microscope"[1] for $15 on Amazon.

I love it for its portability and durability-- I can pop it in my pocket or backpack and check out stuff on nature trails.

...Checking out its amazon page I also see this related, more powerful product for $20: "Carson MicroFlip 100x-250x LED and UV Lighted Pocket Microscope with Flip Down Slide Base and Smartphone Digiscoping Clip" [2]

And a search for 1000x microscope yields this $60 one "LCD Digital Microscope,4.3 Inch 1080P 10 Megapixels,1-1000X Magnification Zoom Wireless USB Stereo Microscope Camera,10MP Camera Video Recorder with HD Screen" [3]

>>> Craig Newmark has roughly $1B.

>> I doubt if he’s typical of people working at Craigslist.

> A billion split ten ways is still a decent chunk of pocket change.

The difference being that Newmark has an equity stake of some hypothetical value and the people working there would receive some fixed value per unit of time. If Newmark were to pay each of 10 workers $1B/10 then:

* their paychecks afterward would be much smaller
* their next tax period would be much larger
* someone else would control Craigslist since the equity stake would have been liquidated (probably causing it to be worth less than $1B)

Thus `has != earns`

I'm of the thought that there is only so much leisure a person can take before there is a drive to contribute toward the betterment of humanity. If someone trusted you and you were trustable, would you take a large lump sum and work for work's sake? Would it make a difference if the sum was an equity stake in the work's environment?

> Well don't buy their PSUs, since they're just some random Chinese PSUs with an EVGA logo slapped on it.

That's basically every brand. Corsair/ASUS/EVGA/NZXT/Cooler Master... none of them actually make PSUs.

The only "big" brand I know of that sells directly is Seasonic.
You get paid a fixed salary and can’t make a penny more until your union-negotiated contract says you can (more years of labor). You basically can’t get fired. Your job never changes and you can’t improve your job. You do the same thing day in and day out waiting for retirement.

So you can screw with some people, maybe get a bribe to help them. It isn’t unreasonable to see why government employees are unhelpful - the system is dumb, wasteful, and nothing they do can fix it, and leaving the job means they will never have it as cushy again.
What are the interesting things?
Anyone under 18 could find one of my hobby sites. I'm not going to send people to some 3rd party to record their face as that is a violation of their privacy. Shall I password protect everything until the dust from the legal battles settles? Or maybe 302 redirect to a RickRoll for now? What are others here doing for their hobby sites, if anything?

I am half curious how many sites will implement a fake age validation to capture video of their visitors just for fun. What other unintended consequences might this law inspire?
We're talking about people often in their 60s or 70s who quite literally hate technology and don't want to spend any money on it unless someone puts a gun to their head. Seriously, the company I worked for had dropped support for windows XP before I ever started there, but they still had some customers running it when I left (this year).

From the POV of these small business owners that Sumup terminal doesn't do anything to help them and if anything makes their life harder. It won't integrate with their business management software (our product) and most likely will have higher transaction fees than their current payment processor. The company I was with offered EMV terminals that were fully integrated with the management software (I helped write the integration), but there wasn't a lot of interest in them outside of larger companies. The small guys in general don't have a lot of incentive to care about information security. One of the other projects I worked on was migrating the management software from using encrypted CC numbers stored in its database to using tokens. When we took away the ability for users to unmask and view the full CC number some of them started saving saving card numbers in the plain text customer info fields (address, etc.).
> That’s the Philly euphemism for what is formally known as “relocation towing” — when the police department, Philadelphia Parking Authority, or a private towing company moves vehicles from legal parking spots for special events, construction or emergencies.

I can see needing to move a vehicle in an emergency, but for special events and construction this shouldn't be needed in most cases. The city knows months in advance the date on which the streets need to be clear. They should plaster the neighborhood in warning notices a month before the event, then go through again the night before to check for stragglers who'd forgotten.

If people seriously end up thinking their car got stolen, there's a massive failure of communication. My thought should be "oops, I forgot about the event", not "where the hell is my car?!"

Agree a investment property is a whole other can of worms, but not really relevant on the "should I buy or rent, personally" decision. For that one, you need to compare to other investments, which is in many ways more straightforward.
It'd be nice if we even had viable candidates who were close to this line. It may be an improper statement, but a president at 70-80 won't be around long enough to see the full impact of many of the decisions they make. Maybe an upper limit is needed...
> "Crime sure is hard to stop."

> "Well, just make everything legal."

It's a bit of a straw man to say that GP meant we shouldn't enforce the law in the real world.

GP wasn't very clear what he meant, but presumably he's referring to not doing excessive moderating and instead rely on the law mandates.

More ~~laws~~rules, less justice. When you have a lot of internal policies, you're inevitably going to have ridiculous results such as this one. If you only follow the legal rules (which you have to) there's less unfairness.

(Of course, you have to have some internal policies such as not allowing spam, but the point is: the fewer onerous rules, the better.)

Two famous examples:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saarloos_wolfdog

The goal here was to recreate a fictional original German Aryan dog, untainted by modern degeneracy. The breeder thought to recreate the original heroic character by introducing the wolf into the breed, resulting in unbalanced, untrainable hybrids.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechoslovakian_Wolfdog

This was supposed to be another version of a better German Shepherd, better suited to the mountains. The result was the same as above.

The takeaway message is that every dog breed has its purpose, and that its character is inherited. There are dangerous dog breeds just bred to kill dogs or bulls (pit bull terrier). Some dog breeds were created without regard for the dog’s physiology (pug). Others were created without taking into account the temperament.

These days, AIBs really don't do all that much. In the past you had "enthusiast" cards with more RAM, dual GPUs on a single card, etc. but Nvidia cracked down hard on that stuff with (IIRC) the 10-series, which is also when they introduced the FE line.

Now, the AIBs differentiate themselves mostly on coolers, aesthetics (cooler design, RGB, PCB colors, etc.), and power delivery (though the latter is much less common).

One obvious reason is to prevent the offices from becoming de facto hereditary.

It would be very hard to consistently pass an office from parent to child when the officer holder has to be at least 35.

Especially since there was already a de facto requirement the office holder be male, excluding older daughters.
I think I’ve seen this kind of farce happen often enough in sitcoms. Odd Couple “My Strife In Court”, Seinfeld “The Parking Garage”, The Golden Girls “Ladies of the Evening”. People are always getting arrested in sitcoms for dumb reasons.
Copywriter.
Re-read the article, the author does not give a primary source and cites a different article. The subjects of the lawsuits (from many years ago) seem to be sites that are scraping ads/listings on craigslist and mass populating their own site to make it seem as if they have users OR they are sites that are aggregating the information on craigslist and trying to pass themselves off as affiliated with craigslist by using their trademarks.

If you've ever searched for an apartment or a car for sale you'll find that many of the new and popular sites are literally just posting ads scraped from craigslist.

Europe is a democracy following the rule of law. The laws are public and everyone can know whether they comply or not. If US companies can't bother to conduct business legally, then they deserve the fines.

This is just another example of laws necessarily needing to create discrete benchmarks for continuous realities. Yes, it probably is true that age 35 is more mature and experienced than age 30 and 25. And while arguable, it's at least defensible that the presidency should require a higher bar of maturity and experience than other government offices. But beyond that, the question of where to draw the line is just gonna be clumsy, because the law is a blunt instrument.

Feels related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorites_paradox . Yeah, you can say there's not a big difference between 34 and 35. And you can say there's not a big difference between 33 and 34. And so on.
So you’re one good hire away from losing your business. I’d be sure to differentiate and have other venues for revenue.

French mainstream radio is good, and FIP is very good on that list. I like to listen to it from time to time to just realize how much eclectic genres there are (I am 'ot really into music, just listening casually).

Another gem is the music played when the national radios are on strike. This is a special curated playlist just for that occasion (or a technical disaster) and the music is really good.

I once switched on France Culture and there was sick music, thought "great they are on strike" (yes, quite an unusual reaction) and the host was back and said "to those who just joined, we are not on strike, just listening to some nice music"

An important aspect of graph database TAM is that the current market size is somewhat defined by the poor scalability and performance of existing graph databases. Many interesting applications simply don't fit within the limitations of current graph database platforms, and those limitations haven't changed much in the last decade.

I would agree that the "database" part is not that important. It is the notion of scalable graph analysis that sells a platform. However, for sufficiently large graphs (most of the interesting apps are in this class), GPUs often don't help much versus CPUs in my experience.
IIRC the EVGA G3 failed the ATX requirement of holding voltage after mains goes down, dropping way too quickly. It was the only one of several that they tested in a group review. Not sure how much storage vendors relies on those milliseconds, but I decided to get something else.
A mini-break is ok. That's what vacations are for. If you're looking for longer term, though, you need to have a plan. Otherwise, it's just a band-aid on a broken bone.

$600k is a lot in some parts of the country. It's very little in others. It's enough to finance a startup in some, and enough to retire in others.

I do the stuff that pays the bills for $$$. I do the stuff that I enjoy for fun, and doing it that way makes me remember to stop working and have fun.

Take a vacation, to be sure. But plan ahead if you are aiming at something bigger.

Do I think 50 years of overt, de jure housing segregation that locked Black families into neighborhoods where they were explicitly not allowed to get home loans had any long term impact on the communities of people that lived there? A little, yeah, yeah I guess I do. I don't think "the late 60s" is the mic drop you think it is; some of us were alive in the late 1960s.

Yeah, he has some pretty interesting stuff.

But AVX512 transition latency is pretty different from clocking up from idle. The CPU is already running at full tilt, and is making a relatively small frequency/voltage change. You can see from his writeup that it's well under a millisecond. I believe newer Intel CPUs have done away with AVX-512 downclocking completely.

I probably won't be able to look into that specific issue since I don't have any AVX-512 capable CPUs.

Totally agree. Unfortunately, it will never happen. Not without a violent revolution, anyways, and that would be worse.

If we could just get approval voting implemented universally, maybe we wouldn't need an enforced upper limit.
As a followup on the "ostensibly being done for the public good" part, the article describes the courtesy towing practice in a way that sounds like it's sometimes for private uses: "moves vehicles from legal parking spots for special events, construction or emergencies". I have to assume that the organizers of those special events or the firms involved with that construction have paid for some permit which is meant to give them exclusive use of the street parking, in which case it sounds like the public good is only indirectly from the revenue from those permits. Apparently the ability of municipal governments to exercise eminent domain solely for the purpose of increasing its revenue was only established by a court case in 2005. So in 2004 would you have agreed that courtesy towing for a private special event or private construction project was possibly theft? Or at least possibly a 5th amendment violation?
