My utopia does not have Facebook or Reddit but whatever it has, is closer to Reddit than Facebook. So I'm ready to pick the better of the two options at the moment.

I do condemn censorship in all forms (unless specific laws are being followed) but after fighting against all the platforms for a voice, I see Reddit as the best option for civil discourse. Hackernews is also very close to reddit and we know the model works very well.

Wherever I am, I'm always looking for good discussions (like this thread for example) and I'm glad that I can do it more freely on Reddit and HN than I ever could on Twitter or Facebook, hence my comments.
This is why we're frantically building out http://thirdroom.io/preview on Matrix as a free & open alternative to the Facebook walled garden. It feels a little crazy that on one hand we're trying to outrun WhatsApp with Element, while also at the same time we're trying to outrun Horizons with Third Room, but someone's got to try...
I've never had typos take hours to fix.

But then again the text editor I use has syntax and bracket highlighting.
You are sidestepping the fact that in your OP you demonstrated and argued that the silk could not be used for space elevators because it could not support its weight beyond 14.6km, but I argued it would not need to since that weight will be countered by centrifugal force, so whether the silk can be used for a space elevator has nothing whatsoever to do with supporting its own weight, rather, it must support the centrifugal force.

If the silk only need be kept "only" taut, its weight will be perfectly balanced against centrifugal force, so in effect the silk will be weightless. But my suspicion is the tether would necessarily need to be kept taut with extra force, not "only" taught, but with force to put stress on the silk tether pointing outwards and upwards.

I have no idea how one would calculate the required centrifugal force, but perhaps you'll do us all the favor and determine whether or not the silk would be strong enough without being distracted by the weight of all the silk, which is irrelevant due to it being cancelled by centrifugal force.
I don't think anyone ever claimed this represented the overall population. It's clearly the data set for OkCupid users, which may be a decent proxy for online dating users. Unless there is any reason to doubt the accuracy of the data presented, I don't see the problem. Black women on OkCupid are not as desirable as white women. We may not like the results, but doesn't make it invalid.

To use your analogy, if 95% of people going through burger king drive through prefers Coke vs Pepsi, that's relevant data for that purpose.

I second the isolated VLAN approach. I host all my public-facing sites in a VLAN specifically made for that, which grants no access to anything private.
Meta is going for the same exact play as Apple did with
smartphones, but with VR.

Kinda? Revenue-wise, yeah.

Appeal-wise... yeesh. Mobile phones and the internet were already very mainstream-popular before Apple launched the iPhone.

VR, not so much. The appeal is extremely niche, and there's really just no demand for it.

Geeks were excited about having computers in their pockets. Literally nobody I know is excited to strap a dorky piece of puke-inducing hardware onto their head outside of limited gaming uses.
What percent of a Google search screen is now ads?
This is making a common but wrong rhetorical move, which is ignoring the fact that qualified candidates of the preferred race, with the preferred genitalia or gender presentation, and with the preferred sexual proclivities just aren't out there.

It's not like there is a large pool of black developer talent that firms just keep missing. It doesn't exist. It could be created, but a separate and totally valid question is: why do that? Why should we want every group of people to be representative of the population down to the smallest scale in race x gender x sexual preference?
Fuck me! I wish I was more diverse.

Not sure what you mean here - Coq is a proof tool _based on_ dependent types. It's a dependently typed programming language with a mechanism for constructing proof terms in an (arguably) more pleasant or natural way bolted on top.

Well, it's easy to not notice on the middle of all the noise. But policies that fight wealth concentration are much clearer and have many less side effects than the ones for diversity and inclusion.

They are probably more inclusive too, but that measurement is noisy.

Most ISPs offer a static IP address as an add-on or higher-cost service. Might vary depending on where you live, though.
$100B and 10 Yrs of Development Later and Self-Driving Cars Can Barely Turn Left
Technically true, but you have to create an account with a company that is targeted at very technical customers. And using them requires understanding DNS, which is an insane prerequisite. We need a consumer domain registrar.
It's more dire than that from their business perspective.

TikTok is killing them in the social media space.

They lost billions because of their reliance on Apple, who rug pulled them with the iOS privacy changes.

> And Men obviously care about being doctors and lawyers more than women, too, of course for the same reasons.

... Yes? At least in countries such as US, where these people in those professions can make large amounts of money. In my country (Poland), up to very recently, doctors were poorly paid and thus large number of doctors were women.

> 60 years ago >90% of lawyers and doctors were Men and because the desire to be a doctor or a lawyer is mostly dictated by a person's gender those statistics haven't changed at all!

It isn't as clear cut as with the CS, because women (on average) may be put off by the high competetiveness and poor life quality of law/medicine, but they are also drawn (on average) by the fact that in those fields you work with people. Whereas, in CS degree, there's literally nothing for them (on average).
Dynamic DNS as others have mentioned. Or, many ISPs will provide static IPs for an additional cost, but you may need to switch to their business service.
Cyberattack delays patient care at major US hospital chain
Personally, I host my DNS with dyn.org, and use something like ddclient (which runs on my Linux firewall/router) to update my DNS records with Dyn in the rare event it changes. I've never had issues with it.
Realistically, anyone with an IP connection already self hosts a wide assortment of IP packets. As long as it isn't commercial or abusive, they are never going to know or care.
That's also not true regarding the history of the software field. The explosion in engineer salaries is relatively recent. It was only post-2000s when it became a very lucrative field for engineers and by that point the percentage of women developers had dropped off. This was due to both companies shifting hiring strategies to focus specifically on hiring men as well a shift in advertising for home computers and deriding women.

You should carefully document this sort of thing, even if you don't plan to use your documentation in a legal action. Who knows what the future will bring?
Here are several things that you can do (from more to less affordable):

- Setup public IP updating. You server runs a daemon that updates the DNS record automatically. You can do that with NameCheap. ($)

- You can pay 5$ to have a digital ocean droplet that acts as a reverse proxy that just forwards traffic to your real
server. ($$)

- You can pay for "entreprise" service and get a static IP. ($$$)
Global warming shows that we have already passed that point. People care more about status and lifestyle than life.

But is it bleak? When we go all in on virtuality, and the resolution is high enough and all senses are covered, what would be missed from the physical world?
Maybe some day. I'm thinking more of the person who wants to keep canned tuna on hand for easy animal protein.

I also agree that our perception of farm conditions for fish is probably not as accurate as for other animals.
Probably not hugely more significant, but there are differences. A workstation should be segmented and limited in the range of nodes it can communicate with, if you're running your network properly. A server will likely be in a segment that has much broader access to it, unless you're doing micro-segmentation, and doing it well. By construction, a server set up by a workgroup team outside your core IT server administration staff is unlikely to be properly segmented. And if you're doing traffic analysis to look for rogue behavior, it's harder to spot from something that profiles as a server, because, again, you expect a server to have lots of contacts within the network. Counterbalancing that, if it profiles as a server, you should be more suspicious of any outbound activity.
> If you want diverse candidates, you have to look at diverse hiring pools.

I would assume the diverse hiring pools come with candidates that are not as qualified as the other pools. That's the flip side to this.

Do business hire from specific pools for biased or performance reasons? I think the assumption is that all hiring inequality is the result of bias. What if it isn't?
Cloudflare already does this: https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared

It works with all NATs/CGNATs by connecting from the pi over a bidirectional WS connection. PI <-> WS <-> Cloudflare. SSL is done on the cloud, not on the pi.

Install any web server on the pi and "cloudflared" to proxy it.

It brings joy to my heart to still see these simple web 1.0 pages.

And the front page has almost all the information I care about as a terminal luddite: vim bindings, etc.

One point of criticism: it says extensible, but it's not very clear how exactly it's extensible. What language is used for extensions? Go? Scripts + conf files with hooks? The front page makes no mention, nor does the source page, and I've yet to find it by clicking around the wiki.

That doesn’t matter when you’re sneaking walking into activities you’d normal do sedentary. It’s not competing against dedicated exercise.

I have this goofy plastic As Seen On TV board that is bent in the middle. Whenever I’m watching TV or playing a game, I stand in it and waddle my body so that i’m doing a light core activity.

It doesn’t matter that sprinting is better exercise when I otherwise would be sitting in the couch.
Show HN: Komorebi – A tiling window manager for Windows 10/11 written in Rust
Way back in the mists of time, we set up our first corporate website. We were using Website Pro, and the box was under a desk. There was an option to make the machine beep with each hit, and for a while it was thrilling to hear those beeps — once an hour or so, maybe a cluster of a few in a row. The physicality!
I’m saying that the solution wont be a simple one dimensional solution that makes for a great soundbite. Because damage to private property does need to be considered in any governmental policy.
> Apparently fulfilling the D&I quota is worth 6 figures to the company.

Or the company is rich enough not to really care about the waste at this point.

I doubt such a person would last through one round of layoffs if there was real pressure to reduce costs.

But of course. Thanks.

>After years of this, are the "privileged" getting the picture yet? You are a target for elimination in popular society.

> The quoted costs are much higher than the cost of market rate rent. There is a reason for that.

> Homelessness, at least the kind that is highly visible, has relatively little to do with the cost of housing, and a lot to do with lack of mental health care...

Hence the increased cost of housing such a person.

Is there waste in these programs from greed and politics? Definitely. Would a perfect implementation that completely avoids that greed match the market rate? I doubt it.

When you buy or rent a home, you generally must provide evidence that you are a stable reliable person; both to illustrate your ability to make regular payments, and to prove you won't become a nuisance to your neighbors, which would ultimately introduce its own cost.

Mental health is core to the issue of homelessness. Not having a stable home is core to the issue of mental health. Do you see the race condition? This is the part of the algorithm that requires intervention.

We can and should do more to help with mental health, especially in the US. Housing is an integral part of that. It's going to cost a lot. We should definitely do whatever we can to mitigate the greed that inflates that cost, but cost itself isn't enough of Ann excuse to give up on humanity.
The authors argue ... obesity as a metabolic disorder driven by what we eat, rather than how much.

Agree. Overeating is caused by malnutrition. A lack of needed nutrients, even with too many calories, fails to satiate. A diet dense in the required nutrients satiates and suppresses overeating. For me the primary missing component was protein. Fixing that cured my binge eating and morbid obesity.

Most here say that the reason is their censorship and while that is certainly playing a role, I think there is another bigger reason they are loosing so much of their value.

The problem with Patreon is that it's a "piggyback business". That is, it wouldn't exist if Youtube, Instagram, Twitch and other didn't exist. I define a "piggyback business" as something that depends on another product to exist. If you build X for Y, you're piggybacking on the existing customers of Y wanting something more and opting for X.

You can run a "piggyback business" quite well, just look at companies like LinkTree for example. Patreon's problem is that they got too big and the giants started to take note. They saw that they could take a chunk of that revenue by baking in Patreon's features into their own platforms.

I haven't come across him. He may have preceeded my time and abilities at that time:). I hanged around in ceviz.net during middle school, I guess around 2008-2010. Before that I was to small to write code. My parents had bought me a Javascript book and teach yourself c++ from Herbert Schildt from a local bookstore. Javascript book was easy, C++ book was hard :). So I abandoned the book shortly after learning cin, cout, iostream and Ali was there to help me out write some programs. I still remember this. I had written a basic calculator in c++, insert number 1, insert operator, insert number 2 kind of something. Ali wrote to me why don't you write it so that it doesn't require you to enter seperate inputs. That question lingered on my mind for a long time and led me into learning about parsing and writing interpreters years later.
Is this good or bad
Have you ever been involved with hiring? The first stage - reading CVs - is not exactly the greatest point in time to judge people as individuals, if they're even read beyond a short skim. It is the biggest opportunity for unconscious bias to reject a candidate.

This is pretty much it. We are a huge Fortune 100 company that, apparently, prizes D&I over money.
The previous quests are shoddily built - both in software and hardware. Very frustrating to try to do anything with it outside of using the default apps, which are frankly beta quality at best, and the ~3 fully fleshed out games. If you're going to invest over $1k, might as well get a valve index. I can't imagine this working out well for running custom enterprise software, which seems to be who they are targeting.
And now we have SLS, and a planned lunar space station whose only purpose is to be a place SLS can get to; the moon itself being out of reach.

Make no mistake, a lunar space station, no matter its name, is not a gateway to anywhere. The only defensible place to pause on the way from low earth orbit to anywhere else in the solar system is high earth orbit. Stopping at high lunar orbit is pure cost, no benefit.

It might be useful to park spare fuel in low lunar orbit for a moon landing, but there is no value in a space station there.
Twilio, at least, has an API specifically for looking up the carrier of a phone number. (You can't do it based on number ranges, because portability.)
Wow, $1500 was more than I expected. Still, I use my Quest 2 about 20 minutes a day so assuming the heavy use of the Quest Pro, it is probably worth it.

I usually only use my Quest 2 for about a maximum of 7 or 8 minutes at a time to avoid physical discomfort. I would hope that the Quest Pro can be worn much longer, in comfort.

If I as a small company actually decided to sue a large company, I think that the response would be "hang on, here are 20 of our patents you are infringing on - you actually owe us money". Larger companies treat patents like trading cards, sadly.

Sorry if I've come across as hostile. Just trying to understand how you reconsile what looks like a discrepancy to me.

As an individual I can see listing anything that gives me an edge. As a hiring manager I have to be careful to be fair and feel an obligation to avoid signals likely to filter already disadvantaged groups. So for a manager these considerations do come down to a binary: will this signal be used?

> Having a particular skill, such as "knowing javascript", is also a signal

I'm not advocating removing requirements undeniably needed for a role.

SO, volunteering, and unpaid work aren't generally needed for roles I hire for. Therefore as signals they're less useful, and may tend to bias in favor of those who already have other advantages in life.

> You're not the first person to think about these issues.

Did I suggest I thought I was? And what does it matter if others have considered these things? All of us with hiring power each need to learn what is appropriate, or not, in order to make the best decisions.
Looks good. I guess that doesn't put much workload into home routers, which I assume is the real bottleneck with FTTH connections.
It’s also quite unfortunate that the world needs to keep learning the basic lessons of media with every new communications technology.

> Minorities are essential within companies to prevent bias in their marketing and product development that can be fatal to business success

There's a ton of different sources of bias. Look at lesswrong.com. What (other than politics) makes minority bias more significant than the other? And why it can't be fought with ordinary means and working on yourself?

You don't need to be the same thing as the object of your study to study it. Just like you can study Geology without being a rock, you can study what a minority group wants/needs/buys without belonging to it. Nothing in principle prohibits that.
You would probably enjoy listening to Hal Sparks on Twitch or YouTube. He's a comedian-cum-political commentator who is extremely well read and has made it his job to explain why the world ain't ending. He's in a beef with The Young Turks whose business plan is the exact opposite, even though they're supposedly on the same side politically.

He faces the worst of what's going on, watches some of the most toxic... er, "media clips", and tells you why they're wrong and dumb and why you should actually be optimistic, based on confirmable facts and, as another comment mentioned, wisdom.
I don’t understand how becoming classified as a W-2 employee automatically turns you into a union member that would supposedly do all the scary bad stuff you’re describing.

The majority of W-2 employees are not a member of a union in the US.

I also think it’s funny to consider a labor voting bloc and lobbying infrastructure to be some kind of a bad thing and at the same time having plenty of tolerance for all the voting and lobbying efforts of corporate interests. God forbid we have a workers’ lobbying bloc, wouldn’t want to get in the way of all the other lobbyists and corporate-owned political influencers.

We’re bombarded with constant threats by the ownership class that any sort of political policy that helps the common person will result in all of us losing our jobs and the economy crumbling, and we’re told that unions are going to be “weaponized” (as you called it) to wreck the political system.

Meanwhile, there’s dozens of examples of industry organizations using their influence to enshrine terrible policy into law: gun manufacturers and the NRA keeping guns easy to purchase and selling the message of fear, food manufacturers keeping nutritional, labeling, and advertising standards loose, the automobile industry stopping the expansion of public transit, the agricultural industry giving us laws outlawing oversight of humane practices, numerous companies fighting right to repair legislation, and the list just flows on and on like Niagara Falls.

All of that stuff is totally fine but as soon as an organization controlled by workers wants to lobby and influence policy, that’s bad!
