The real reason Apple doesn't like ads is that ads mean somebody else gets revenue and Apple does not (because apps with ads are free, bypassing App Store revenue share). Now that Apple has invested sufficiently into building a competent ad platform, this will change as quickly as they can ramp it up.

I'm assuming your concern is hardware longevity not obsolescence. Obsolescence will happen before 20 years because of speed, RAM and disk capacity inflation, and compatibility with latest operating systems.

Servers that have survived 10 to 15 years are quite common, 20 a lot less so.

Probably the easiest way would be to buy 2 "fairly good" identical servers, run one of them, and keep the other one off for spare parts.
By fairly good I mean a branded server (not entry point) with dual power supplies and redundant disks.

Alternatively, you can wait 7 years and buy spare parts then. Unless things change dramatically, it will be easy then to find parts for a 7 year old server, and, if used, cheap.
During the lockdowns our house was quite popular as like an underground Libertarian hangout spot for nerdy board game players and people who liked low stakes poker. I made friends with a former Magic the Gathering world champ because of that. I guess I do have friends they’re just the kind of people who don’t do much unless invited to something.

I guess that’s how MOST people are. A lot of people just want their socializing handed to them.

I prefer the app placing the config in the same place on every system. It makes it easier for me to find the file regardless of OS (to modify or back up with a script) and it's simpler for the app dev to write the code for as well.

I recognize this is probably because I first learned about config files on a Unixy system, it's not the "native way" for Windows, and other people have stronger cases for their preference, but this is my preference and I'm stickin to it :)
I’m not sure where you live, but in North America almost everyone is eating meat from intensive livestock operations. By almost, that’s over 90% of all meat produced… I’m going to guess less than 1% of North Americans who eat meat manage to completely avoid these meats. The vast majority are primarily eating these meats.

Humans raise animals on grass, but relatively few animals. If we only eat grazed cattle, then very few people will get to eat it — or — we would all need to eat far less of it.

Further, evidence of grazing storing carbon effectively has been largely debunked, and it’s clear now that grazing land would likely be best left to the wilderness, allowed to be restored as forest or meadow or whatever it was. We stand to gain far more from allowing natural ecology develop and thrive than from eating more steak.

No you cannot scale up grass fed meat, you should not, and the entire idea is so full of holes it can barely hold itself anymore.
Yes, last 4 months: I am getting 100+ spam emails a day, filtering catches about 90% but still that's 10 that get through EACH DAY. It used to be NONE! I now get 3-4 spam texts per week, previously it would be about 3-4 a year.
If you'd have said this way back I'd have had my hands up like "What's wrong with flatpak", but as I moved to smaller hardware, I started to realize how much space a mainly flatpak environment takes up. It kind of makes sense in retrospect, so I'm not sure what I was expecting.
Well, it's easy to make your opponents sound bad when you strawman their entire ideology for them.

Unless you have some videos of right-wing politicians calling for the executives at Cloudflare to go to prison, I think that the right-wing position has always been the fairly consistent "you can choose to not provide services to whomever you want, but it's a pretty dick move to do so."
Similar story for me, though I only roughly count calories. Stick to it aggressively during the week, relax at little at weekends, don’t beat myself up if I go out and get trashed occasionally then eat a whole tub of ice cream.

I’ve been weighing myself every morning and tracking it in a google sheet and that’s been key for me. it’s interesting watching the spikes on the weekends. Makes it really easy to understand the consequences of my choices.

I’ve lost nearly 20kg over the past 6 months or so and it’s been… easy? Just a few more to go.

Never reaching a year at 10 jobs is something to ask I think however:

> why would any hiring manager reasonably expect that to be different after hiring them again for job 11

Thats is I think still the wrong approach, signals the wrong mentality in an IT company(a company thats greatest asset is its employees). Investing in employees can never be a saving center in a good IT business, considering all businesses are becoming IT businesses perhaps in every business in this context. If a candidate has the skills and took time to apply, if they are qualified you are responsible to hire them and keep them. If I was the manager of the hiring manager, I’d probably fire this hiring manager for keeping the organization dumber, and seeks his own interest/status-quo seeking behavior & protectionism with this behavior/approach/mentality. I do believe in moving mountains in 3-6 months, especially in badly managed projects or super fast growing companies.
Consistent principles are far more rare than one might imagine from the number of people that claim to have them.
Something like “it wasn’t a good fit” is always a valid answer for a short tenure. Your interviewer may try to dig deeper, but they’ll respect your refusal to be more specific. Alternatively you can just leave that position off your résumé entirely. In tech it’s normal to take 3-12 months off every decade or so, so it probably won’t even raise any eyebrows.

Clickbait title. Here's the meat:

> the "internals" of Mohajer-6 turned out to be imported, for the most part. The engine is Austrian, and the cameras are of Japanese, Chinese and American origins.

This isn't all that surprising, building hundreds of drones for < $5000 USD in commercial parts is going to be more cost-effective than buying a handful of purpose built drones for hundreds of thousands of dollars each.

A drone having "Japanese, Chinese and American origins" is a lot less sinister sounding when you say "it's a Raspberry Pi hooked up to a 200D, zip tied and hot-glued to a fibre glass body".
> For decades, we've had a pretty consistent notion of what constitutes "network abuse".

Not at all the case. We still rely on the CFAA, which is extremely vague.

> It's traffic that threatens the stability of the network itself (such as spam and worm traffic).

Definitely not that.

> Obviously illegal stuff can be taken down by law enforcement.

Not really, no.

a) Jurisdiction can be unclear

b) There is no "shut down website" button that the government has. They have the ability to take over physical infrastructure if it is located in the US or they can request seizure of domain names (may or may not work!)

The point being that there are actually limitations to what the government is able to do to respond, even in cases where they would like to.

> But stuff that's simply "bad for society" is generally given a free pass.

Indeed it is the opposite. Most of the "policing" on the internet is done with very basic common sense. Software that exists to trick you into paying someone for "AV" software? Not actually illegal (mostly - the malware itself is not illegal, there may be wire fraud charges as part of the payment etc), but it's malware and it gets removed by hosting providers all the time.

> 1. Don't visit them.

No one who wants Kiwifarms taken down visits Kiwifarms. The issue is that Kiwifarms is a site dedicated to a community that attacks others. This isn't an issue of user consent.

> 2. Sue them.

Sue who? Again, you're talking about international issues, you may not even know who is involved because people use pseudonyms.

> Note that there is no #4 that says "harass everyone they depend on in an attempt to get them taken offline".

"harass" is a really disingenuous way to put it. Again, deeply ironic given that it was Kiwifarms who harassed Cloudflare. Tweeting "Fuck you for not taking them down" is not harassment (although Twitter would be within their rights to moderate such content!).

Beyond that, you haven't really made any argument for why the system you have described (which does not exist) is better. You haven't made a case for why it's important that we abide by your system, or why there's "no #4". I don't care, to be clear, but I see the argument a lot that "well it should be handled through the legal system" as if we have no agency in this world except to live to the fullest extent of the law's mercy and exactly no more or less.

Hosting providers are free to moderate their content. Diners are free to turn away customers who are not protected. Dang can delete message on HN. Google and ban spammers. AWS can disable accounts that abuse SES. And so on.
I'm also that hiring manager. First of all: HR is throwing out your best hires? Get on the same page with HR already. Next: Isn't FAANG all in a hiring freeze right now? All their staff looking at a 50% drop in their RSUs? Twitter's about to shed thousands of employees? There's no better time for startups to find people and pay them realistic salaries. The "hard to work with job hopper" isn't going to make the cut.
I don't find it egregious at all. Nobody should go out of their way to integrate with Windows APIs when files work just fine everywhere.

There's a lot of chatter in certain internet circles about those ideas...

But in practice, the leave-it-at-the-door delivery-or-no-touch-pickup world is not one I'd describe as higher trust and more social. Times Square?

How does 3M 425 compare to 3M 3340? 3340 is some foil tape I bought from Lowes in the HVAC section, with "cold weather" printed on it in red text.

In terms of thickness, I see 425 is 2.8 mils thick, vs 3340 which is 2.0 mils.

In terms of temp range, I see 425 goes down a bit colder (-65 F vs -40 F).

They seem really similar, like 425 is a somewhat improved version. But it's surprising that this comparison PDF, which shows a lot of 425 alternatives, doesn't show the basic stuff I got from Lowes (3340) https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1390627O/3m-aluminum-foi...

And yet work is the worst place to seek a relationship, according to hundreds of thousands of Reddit anecdotes and Psychology Today articles, because there's Power Imbalance and that means developing a healthy relationship is impossible, plus HR hates employee-employee relationships, and you can't pretend Work Spouse is the same as Home Spouse.

And yet school, university, college is also bad, because that's the time to Experiment and Fall In Love multiple times, and Date Around, and Make Friends, and if you don't do the Prescheduled Infantile Erotic Socializing like you're required, you're defective and should go back to the vat.

And yet Discord and Reddit are also bad, because if you meet someone on there and develop a romantic relationship with them, you must be a groomer, or a pedophile, or a Nazi.

And yet Tinder is bad, because it provides a short-term dopamine hit to get you addicted to swiping and looking at ads, stealing your time without actually giving you anything.

And yet dating college students after you've graduated is also bad, because everyone knows a friend of a friend whose son/daughter dated a graduate and it ended horribly with tears and fisticuffs all around.

What you should be doing is hitting people up at the library. Wait, no, I saw a reddit post about how that's cringe and disgusting. Ok, I'll try to meet people at the gym. Oh wait, no, I've seen even more Reddit posts about how horrible that is; people at the gym are trying to get healthy, not date! Ok, I'll blindly message people on Instagram. Hold on... I don't have an Instagram. How about I just go to the bar with some friends? Unfortunately, none of my friends go to bars, because they're over 40, too busy getting their degrees, or don't exist. Ok, so the solution is to go out in the street, strip down naked, and run around doing cartwheels until someone declares me a romantic interest.

I'm curious how this sentiment of pg's rhymes with his two languages, Arc and Bel. As a person who has written a Bel implementation, I find one of the traits the language has is that it's trying to be "straightforward" in the same way spoken language is.
Sure, the word here is presumably meant to be a portmanteau of "watashi" (私 I, me) plus "ashiato" (足跡 footprint). The ~ato suffix refers to the remains or evidence of something no longer present (e.g. the site where a castle used to be), so the word could also be read as "watashi" (me) + "ato" (evidence left behind).

Either way, basically it's a pun. Not the world's most amazing pun, but it's not gibberish like several commenters have suggested.
This sounds true. Could you point out some features of a hiring process we can look out for for signs of good teams/leaders? Number of interviews, time it takes to complete the process, kind of questions they ask, etc?

For me a lot of these new "learning concepts" seem like justifications for teachers to make their job easier, at the cost of actual educational results.
Structuring a classroom is no doubt hard and exhausting work, so is teaching children. But the solution is not to let children do what they want, everyone who ever was a child knows what children will do if you give them an easy way to exploit the system...

Nobody, besides the teachers, is helped by removing the requirement for students to put in effort. "High grade students" won't see their efforts pay and "low grade students" will put in even less effort...
forgive me if i’m overstating things you already know, but these are lesser explored concepts for me. property/ownership is an illusion. rights (human/animal/etc) are an illusion. the clean division between child and adult (legally responsible for their actions, granted voting power), or between unborn human and legal citizen with above rights, is an illusion.

achieving coherence across these illusions is what authority does. this authority creates a new illusion — the rule of law — to enforce coherence across individual variations along these illusions of rights/etc. some structure (courts, penal system, representative democracy, …) appear as apparatus to better define/protect the base illusions.

but which of these illusions are “necessary”? can a society flourish without believing in property? can it flourish if it doesn’t believe that humans are exceptional when it comes to the issue of rights? can it flourish if it doesn’t believe rule of law is the way to define these illusions?

these illusions are necessary to today’s state-based societies. some of them were considered unnecessary as recently as when the West was being settled, and many are outright contradictory to tribal or nomadic lifestyles of the past.

if societies built upon fewer “unnecessary illusions” are to be better, more stable, then where does that put us? initially it seems at odds with historical developments, though the illusions i highlighted probably exaggerate that.
The difference between Windows ".." and unixy ".." is that the former is done lexically whereas the latter is a link to the canonical parent.

E.g. on Windows: "path\to\..\file" is always the equivalent of "path\file". Whereas on unixy systems "path/to/../file" may take you to a completely different parent directory.

That said, Unix shells can muddy the waters a bit. They may choose to act lexically with some commands.
It's all over the place. It has some confirmed liberals, too.

It's the website that grew out of Bari Weiss's Substack, so the general theme is "counter-arguments to things that mainstream media publishes," which is sometimes a fair look at a valid argument and sometimes crackpot nonsense.
