No.

We’ve seen time and time again that platforms with no moderation tend to do two things:

1) Attract “objectionable” content.

2) Repel the vast majority of people who object to such content.

Hence the general view that [insert platform depending on personal views] is a “cesspool”.

In an extreme example, let’s go with “won’t someone please think of the children”. Imagine the news story the first time a web3/crypto/whatever “uncancellable service” hosts the exploitation videos of a kidnapped child who was sold in to sex slavery.

I know these kinds of “think of the children” scenarios are much maligned on HN but the vast majority of the world isn’t HN. In this scenario 99% of the population wouldn’t dare deal with the service, tech, etc in the example above.

Ask anyone walking down the street about the “dark web”. If they’ve heard of it at all almost every person will say it’s that thing for criminals, CP, drugs, etc and they’re scared of it and don’t want anything to do with it. Meanwhile here on HN it’s fairly routine for someone to pop in the comments and talk about exclusively browsing with tor… The HN bubble is real.

Plus, regardless of how you feel about things like Tornado Cash I don’t see a lot of people advocating for the repeal of CSAM laws (as one example) so you have a completely different level of enforcement there. Outside of some serious fringe I’ve never even really seen them debated.

Truly uncancellable and/or unmoderated services are a complete non-starter for 99% of people walking down the street.

You’re describing “dark web 2.0” and the adoption (if any) will likely look exactly the same.

Yes I understand tor is used by activists under oppressive governments, etc and that’s fantastic. The difference for this discussion is tor hasn’t received tens of billions of dollars of investment like the web3 ecosystem has with the promise it’s going to completely change the world.

If the bubble, hype, etc reflected the realities I’ve described in this post I wouldn’t be skeptical. I’m skeptical because many of the fundamental concepts (like being uncancellable) are completely incompatible with mass adoption and everything we know about people and platforms.
We should have regulation on dark patterns. Not paying 30% more abs giving more power to monopoly.
Why is it so hard.you can literally sue companies for dark patterns and hey more money.i did that once with ATT and got more than they said I owe them for dark subscribing to tv when i only wanted internet. I didn't had to spend a single penny nor visit any court.all out of court settlement. You make them accountable for such practices.and as a consumer you should fight against apple to lower subscription fee if the seller can sell at least price
at >50% efficiency, the heat pump heat factor has to drop below 2. On a modern heat pump that's about -25C or so. I don't think it gets that cold in Germany.
Must be a weird time to work at Twitter.
I just checked in the android audible app, I actually now have the ability to buy with dollars via the app itself.

Usually they'd redirect you to audible.com to avoid any google fees but apparently they stopped that?

I do not have the premium audible subscription though, only plus. Maybe that's why?
Your question is too vague as the answer depends on your/your company's setup. If you are using git with Gitlab or Github, then your development process should be using something like pull requests which naturally offer a protection from inadvertant changes getting into your main branch. Github offers things like teams where you can limit access to essentially read only, but this will all depend on your development infrastructure.
Thanks for the amazing work! Here are my notes:

1- Actual surveying of the site was a bit annoying. On one hand, I wanted to scan everything and look at every detail. On the other, I didn't know where I was and didn't want to miss out by my depth-first approach. The automatic surveying routine (clicking next) moves the camera way too fast. Also I guess it doesn't present everything we know of the site. For example I wanted to have a more clear look at the shafts.

So A) provide a minimap for every detail we know of the site to make idealists of us, happy :)

B) slow down the speed of auto-surveyor.

I experienced these same technical problems while traversing the Perspolis site: https://persepolis.getty.edu/

2- What's with the utility wiring in the King's chamber? Is it customary in archeological sites? I thought it should have been done more neatly.

Also, do the "cosmic ray detectors" work by battery power in those wooden boxes? Is there a rule that scientific instruments should be in wooden boxes?

3- How do we know what the main purpose of the Great Pyramid was? Why were the chambers named as King or Queen's chamber when we didn't find any mummies or hieroglyphs inside?

This question especially becomes important when we don't know what the purpose of those clear-cut shafts in chambers was.

4- As an archeologist, what do you think of the works of Erich von Daniken or the claims that ancient human technology couldn't have cut those clear cuts or moved those giant stones?

5- Before seeing this, I just woke up early from a nightmare. I rule out most of it due my brain mixing my personal experiences of the day and university. But, the strange part of that dream was that at the end of it, someone trapped someone else (like in a dome wire-frame cage that is used in catching birds) , and I heard a serious stern voice ordering him to "dig".
Next up I woke up and saw this on HN, deciding to have a virtual visit of the internal chambers of the Great Pyramid. Phew! What a coincidence!
2 short thoughts.

1. Just eating less meat would go along way without the social awkwardness. Have a burger with friends once a week who cares. But reduce otherwise.

2. I’ve been drinking huel and it has good nutrients and lots of protein. Might be easier to be vegan without feeling like trash these days.
I think the script may just be grabbing the time when it's actively zooming and not the time while it's zoomed in. A lot of the time it does look like they're just idly zooming in though.
expect() is an assertion of non-failure. The string is the panic message on failure.

With major members of the C-suite turning over and his outright public aggression toward them I'd sure be concerned if I worked there.
Trump doesn't need a Twitter account now that he built a Twitter alternative called Truth.
A most excellent series of resources tied together in a thoughtfully refined fashion.

Not sure if you have any intention of scanning the Hawara complex, but if you can gain access to the below discussed datasets, & if there were any chance of linking your modelling to these scans, it would make a mindblowing visit to the underworld!

Scans of beneath Hawara are discussed by Dr Carmen Boulter & Klaus Dona here:

https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=hw1RSYIgr3I

As others have said, Muon scans have revealed hidden details in the Great Pyramid, but I have heard less chatter about these Hawara studies from 2014-15, regarding multiple long-distance water tunnels, possibly linking back to Giza & the water beneath the Great Pyramid.

When linked to the historic water damage around the base of the sphynx, the water separation/hydrogen power station theories suggested by various physicists (& HN posters) seem less fantastical.
A feeder into the Great Pyramid (the specific name escapes, but can be seen as a peaked entrance towards one side) from these waters would cascade down through the complex & onwards towards Hawara, possibly explaining why the water under Giza & in the inland lake at Hawara are saline, but neither chemically match Nile or Med' waters.

Keep up the good work. ^_^

Quarterly earnings for FAANGs have almost always made HN.

Elon + Twitter were all over the HN front page for months, and now suddenly there is no coverage?
I bought a Galaxy fold last week and returned it yesterday. The form factor and larger screen was cool, but holy cow did Android feel like a huge downgrade from iOS. It was just all kinds of little quality of life things in iOS that I instantly missed. I think I needed something like one extra button press to get to the flashlight on Android and that did me in.
Yes and no, alternatively if investors believe the trend will continue then they will just wait for the earnings to come down and then it isn't mispriced.
> The question wasn't powerful, it was important.

I know. I looked to see which way the rest of the world could see us as being some synonym of important, powerful is the likely one.

The way that "important" was likely meant in this context was "valuable", which I then addressed in my comment.

Again, even the power is debatable. Single celled organisms and plants have a far greater impact on the world than we do.

Valuable is not really up for debate. A nonhuman animal would not say that the life of a human is more valuable than their own any more than a disempowered person would say that the life of a powerful person is more valuable than their own.

>Humans are roughly interchangeable with each other, so in a wide view they can be roughly equally important.

What? Some are surgeons are working for MSF saving lives with their bare hands on a daily basis, others are sex traffickers. Some are Einstein others are flat earthers. Their positive and negative impact on the world around them, their capabilities vary greatly.

Depending on how loosely you define interchangeable, you can include nonhuman animals as being interchangeable with humans.

> But we're capable of so many things nothing else is.

Can we hibernate? Can we lay eggs? Can we grow to the size of a blue whale? Can we survive naked in the vacuum of space? Do we possess biological immortality? Have we persisted for hundreds of millions of years through multiple extinction events? Etc etc. The natural world is filled with species who hold countless capabilities beyond our own.

Do you think there might be a bias at work when we decide that the traits unique to humans are those that are more "important"?
I have an old account that I created as a placeholder when Twitter formed but have not signed in for a long time. Assuming that old account still exists maybe I'll give it a whirl to watch the show. There are a lot of rumors about what comes next, including rumors of integrations with a few other platforms.

As for Mastadon, I like the idea and even thought about spinning up a few instances but I really don't do social media beyond HN so I expect even the chirping crickets would bail on me.
MVP can be as small as you want. Best thing is to just build it one feature at a time until it becomes a usable coherent product at minimum. An MVP can take as little as one day, depending on what MVP means for you.

It’s all relative and it’s important to set small achievable goals that you can increment continuously with consistent effort.
I agree, also interesting that people are downvoting this
This might just be HN's usual (although undocumented) behavior. See [1] for details.

One thing to keep in mind is that more comments is worse for ranking. Less controversial topics that get upvotes but no comments will tend to stay up for longer.

Does a thing sorta car-shaped without wheels count as a car? This thing never even had a lid. (You could call it a car, I guess... Rectangular, and you can sit in it.)

Many people hope a legitimate sarcophagus, with an actual mummy in, might yet be found.

Probably the latter. The LFPR for <25 saw a significant bump.

How does a deflationary currency not simply divide the haves and the have-nots even more? As a world we need to move towards greater equality, not lesser.
That's a Starship robot. We have them around my college campus. They're typically super safe when crossing roads, but sometimes they just decide to wander out in front of a car.
Maintstream journalists write what the owners of their publications tell them to write, especially when it comes to politics. The idea that a change in ownership of a relatively small social media company is going to have a "profound impact on democracy" is stupid. Especially since nobody seems to have a similar problem when a major media conglomerate changes ownership.
I misread.
You are bartering your time for a thing of value.

There is literally no difference between that, and selling your time for money and then buying the thing of value. Well, the latter takes two transactions to accomplish the same thing
I just hope that they keep Trump off the platform. I‘m sort of hoping his bs is in the past.

Can’t take Kanye seriously, I wouldn’t mind if he was allowed back on.
All the way out Neptune way? Not unless they were trying to get our attention.

Again, there is no statistically significant difference between fish-eaters and vegetarians.
But what is this "class of materials"? This is a long article for not telling me much.

If by metaverse you mean the Horizons app, sure. The money is being spent on the hardware, though. VR

Millions or billions will die if global temperatures continue to rise.
> with each game CD Project Red start being in many ways a complete rewrite to the extent its not charitable to describe it as a single engine.

That's normal and fully expected. You generally don't maintain an in-house engine the way general-purpose engines are maintained. You don't make it as generic as possible to accommodate for various uses, like Godot, Unreal or Unity do. Instead, you make games and then your engine is an optional byproduct of those games. It gets to be as specific to your game as you need or want it to be.

Feature modules, or you could trust them? Its not like they can push to the main branch without a pull request.
I'm still shocked super voting shares are a structure that we decided as a society should even be legal. With some of the most powerful monopolies today being also controlled by people basically accountable to nobody, it feels really dystopian we can't remove them somehow.
There's some overlap between this and what Eric Hoffer theorizes in the book "The True Believer" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_True_Believer).

A lot of this is guesswork, though. It could just as easily be that these activists are simply very angry about climate change and feel compelled by their anger to take some kind of action but (like a lot of people) aren't good at channeling it into constructive action.
No amount of upvotes are enough.
This is assuming that political power comes from influencing all Americans rather than a small fraction who hold true power (politicians, donors, journalists, industry groups, etc.). If the small fraction is all on Twitter then viola the rhetoric is meaningful.
Are you sure that formula is right? f(x)=x^g is a strictly monotonic function for all positive g, so the ordering of the scores will stay the same no matter what constant is used for g (assuming g is positive).
Hard to sink when it's smaller than their operating profit from FB/IG/WhatsApp.
A data diode is a unidirectional network link. You can ONLY put a packet through it in one direction, and never, ever, get an ACK or anything back. Usually they are accompanied by a pair of helper hosts, one on each side.

The source host polls a desired set of things in the network it can access, and puts them all into an internal buffer, and transmits that data, plus a lot of forward error correction, and KEEPS sending it, to the matching destination host.

So, if you have an industrial system, such as an oil refinery, production line, etc., you can have the source host poll for status from the PLC, etc... and then forward that data to the destination host outside the firewalls, etc. Remote users will be able to view the status of things as they get updates, using web or whatever protocols you like, but have ABSOLUTELY ZERO chance injecting data back into the industrial system.

It's simple enough in theory. But widely underused in practice.
I could swear this site shut down for lack of hosting resources in early 2019. All I can find now in reference to this is a reddit thread saying it was DOS'd around that time. I remember when I could access the site intermittently, they were displaying a banner saying they were going to take it offline permanently.

Wonderful to see things didn't work out that way, thanks for posting.
We kind of do already when we romanticize life. Every human dies eventually, at equilibrium, humans die at about the rate they're born. How long the average human lives does not change that, it only changes the delay in population changes. The same is true of chickens or cows, they live shorter lives but they're born at the same rate they die. When they die has no effect on this, but whether they live is entirely dictated by their utility to human beings. So you wouldn't actually get more humans from this, just more turnover. On the same note, you wouldn't get less cows not doing it, just longer turnover, all else being the same. In actuality though, without the meat they'd be useless to us, so you would wind up with a culling and then less of them, this is not the case for humans.
I didn't say the Democrats were innocent of anything. I'm pointing out that commenting on unrelated and unspecified accusations (in the orignal comment) is whataboutism and a method of deflection

Also prove Nancy Pelosi committed insider trading, I don't care what democrats long dead did in the past, and the rest of what you said is more deflection. Pretending that you're somehow above this by talking about trench warefare while continually bringing up unproven allegations is also manipultive and hypocritical.
Yes, there is literally no difference between those two things except that they are different things and one requires an additional step.

Other than that you are correct that there is literally no difference between them.
It looks like all the other sarcophagi found in other Old Kingdom tombs. So no, "box" isn't specific enough.

This is a vindication for Johnny Ive, who completely founded pitched and launched the projects. Cook is a vision less hack who is chased off the golden goose.
Or by choosing to source your meat from places that treat animals well. Local, humane farmers.

It's pricier, but it's much higher quality and skips the industrial treatment of animals.
TSLA is ~70 PE.

I honestly think META is undervalued now, should be around 20 IMO, whether you like it or not it is a mature company with stable revenue and profits.

I agree that the whole metaverse/VR thing is a big fiasco, though. But remember that META is FB + Messenger, Instagram and Whatsapp, they're gonna do fine.
That book is pretty amazing. I have it, and use it as a reference, but it is one of those things where you don't know if a trick exists until you've read about it, because many of the optimizations are completely non-intuitive. I've tried reading the book cover to cover, and it is not a casual read. I mean, it's know "Knuth's Computing" series, but it is for series embedded enthusiasts.

EDIT: I was just comparing the book and this site and the site is basically a subset.
"I found Rust when no one heard of them, man. They really knew how to put on a show back then. Now, they're so mainstream and commercial, I'm over 'em. Their latest album is so pop. I heard from their managers that brainfuck and Zig are touring this year." <- Hipsters on music

Then I think you're not paying attention, or you've misunderstood. I just checked 5 different pairs of scissors here, old, new, cheap, expensive, big, small, and all of them have blades that curve towards each other. When you look at them edge-on while they're closed, only the tips of the blades are touching, and light is visible coming through the gap between the blades everywhere else. That way only the cutting point is in contact as you use them.
Russians did that at some point in the 70s 80s. They pumped compressed air into some salt mines and that worked well until one of the mines sprung a leak and blew the mountain up

Beyond Catastrophe: A New Climate Reality Is Coming into View
Phone cameras got good enough that for quite a lot of pictures there's no need for an interchangeable lens camera. Particularly if it's around the same focal lengths that phone cameras can get (reasonably wide angles). I use my phone for landscapes quite often, it's quite decent.

I use my mirrorless camera and a supertelephoto lens for things my phone just can't capture: birds and many distant animals.
FWIW I've got Linux running on an 11'th gen Intel i5 thin-and-light and the fan only spins up if I do some big number crunching program. And this is with all the extra fat that Ubuntu drags along. I think fan noise is a very specific Window problem, maybe?
I'm pretty sure bytedance is in the process of taking facebook's place as the high offer talent poacher, which is a shame imo because they aren't an American company

Also (this might not apply to you if you already own a home), but in the Bay Area it's like SWE salaries are tied to the housing costs. At the end of the day, what's the point of that 400k if the housing market leeches off of all of the surplus?
Who exactly did he terminate beyond Agrawal?
Meat is human food. But industrialization of meat is much more morally grey. Working with a local farmer to buy pasture raised pigs free from gestation crates is totally different from the hog mills with tiny cages and concrete floors.
Just take a look at their lines. Their APS-C cameras range from pro-sumer to professional. For the price of a full-frame professional quality camera you can get one of their medium format cameras as well (the GFX50 for example is in the same price range as much of the Alpha line).

All of their cameras take great photos regardless and their glass is great. Just read some reviews.
> Could anything evil happen as a result of embracing this outlook?

Yes. If we demote the value of human beings to meet the value of other species, we open the door to the legitimacy of killing human beings. If we promote the value of other species, we have swathes of carnivores to arrest and put on trial.
Right this very moment I have an iPhone 11 and a Pixel 5 in my pocket, both running fully up to date OS versions.

I keep two phones because of personal reasons not relevant to this discussion.

I prefer the iPhone.
I don't use vendor ROMs, but on my past several phones with LineageOS, I can hold the power button for a few seconds when the screen is off to enable the torch. I can also double tap power for the camera.
If he clicked through T&C to reactivate it, he's explicitly agreed a contract (of sorts. Can I say a social contract? Joke..) to behaviour. If they just restored it, he may not have acceded to any terms of use beyond the initial ones but I am sure the terms include ".. or as modified subsequently" language.

I'd love to know if he did. "He" here may well mean his comms team, it's never been clear to me how much Trumpf is in Trump online. Some, but ... all?

If this is true, it's a political act. An act of political consequences. If they edit his tweets likewise.
