I disagree but this is a reasonable perspective. One specific point:

> instead of asking for 100 to hand draw a portrait for a few hundred people in your lifetime, you could create one for every teen who needs a boost in their self esteem and raise their confidence and ability to cope with challenges in their life at massive scale.

This is a misunderstanding that reminds of those startups that were like "we realized people love getting hand-written cards, so we built a product to learn your handwriting and generate them for you!" No, the effort is the point. For people who like those cards it's not about the aesthetics of handwritten text, it's about knowing somebody dedicated some of their limited time to you personally. A depressed person is not going to be cheered up by an auto-generated portrait, even if it's indistinguishable from one a human artist spent 12 hours on. You can't "scale" human connection like this, unless you hide the fact that robots are involved.

I'm not saying all technology is bad. I think robo-surgeons would be great if they can save more lives, even if they put human surgeons out of work. In this particular domain, right now it seems like these tools have the potential to discourage future generations of artists, which would be self-defeating because the models are not AI and will stagnate without additional training data. I don't think they should be banned, but I think we should take human artists' concerns seriously, not co-opt someone's artistic identity if they ask us not to, and try to make sure we think about the unintended consequences of a powerful new tool.

I think nationalism is just fine. Its okay to love your country and fellow citizens.

It's when it turns to extremism that it gets ugly and bad.
Something like this is only possible at the end of an unimaginably long chain of absurd and impossible feats of organization.

The things he is concerned about when he's "futzing about with content moderation" are deep enough in that chain that it's easy to lose connection, but are absolutely part of it.
I'm not an alcoholic and I'm not as sharp as I used to be (in my 30s now). It's possible you decline is not alcohol related. I'm pretty sure mine is that I've been in a stagnate job and that my motivation to work hard is decreased from being screwed over a few times.
I agree, we need some kind of organized thoughts on computing. Heck just a straight up ethics course would be a huge improvement. I didn't realize until after I graduated that most of the hard sciences require undergrad ethics, and if you do any graduate work you will take more ethics courses.
The good:

Twitter should not be editorally curating people through verification, making verification only about ID and being a real person is a broadly good change, as long as it's not necessary for participation. Brands, celebrities, those in the public eye could benefit from this. Needs to be implemented with care and ideally with a branding change so as not to confuse users as the semantics change.

The bad:

$8 is way more than the profitability of an ad supported user. There's no excuse for "half the ads", it should be none at all. See: every streaming service. (Edit: ok some streaming services have ads, but for most online content - video, journalism, etc, if you subscribe there are no ads, it's just nickle-and-diming users to give them a bunch of ads, particularly when the marginal cost for Twitter Blue is essentially zero).

The ugly:

Paying $8 to get your voice heard by more people biases towards those with means rather than those contributing to the conversation. At best this will reduce conversation quality on Twitter, at worst this is ripe for abuse.
It not so much that I do not trust the company today, it is that I do not trust them to not silently become adversarial in the future when the government comes knocking or if they get bought out, or whatever.

This is a bit of attack surface that all hosted cloud solutions share, and it is one that it has never been easier to eliminate.
There's no definitional difference between "outer space" and just space. They're synonymous, and most commonly defined to begin at 100 km altitude. If there's any difference, it's that outer space refers to the physical region, as opposed to "space" that might refer to the mathematical and relativistic concept.

"Deep space" is another definition, which commonly means beyond lunar altitude.

Other regions of space typically use a specific descriptor - interplanetary, trans-Jovian, trans-Neptune, interstellar, extra-galactic.

Yeah I'm confused. Twitter Blue is a separate service that anyone already could buy for $5/mo I think. Maybe he's merging them together.

However, the existing Twitter Blue is still being listed as $5/mo.

Show HN: I made a volumetric audio visualizer
I'm developing Hyperstep[0], a spatial language for music production. I find using existing DAWs frustrating because they don't allow me to navigate and operate intuitively on the latent spaces behind my musical ideas. This is why I've decided to build my own set of "seeing tools".(Bret Victor)[1]. I'm also convinced that by framing music as processes and interactions in the 3D world, spatialization and mixing should become fairly pain-free.

I'm still early in development and I would love to build this into an actual product that can be integrated into existing DAWs or even turn it into a musical framework itself for AR and VR experiences.

If you're interested in working on it or if you simply want to know more, feel free to contact me.

He does have a point. Are tweets considered content? Twitter makes money off of his tweets. Why wouldn’t they cut him a share?
"Half as many ads" fascinates me deeply.

Has a business ever publicly quantified how many ads you get? Does YouTube say, "we expose you to an average of x seconds of commercials and y pixels of static ads"?

How do I know what half should be? We've all been there: "it feels like YouTube has cranked the ads way up lately..." Will "half" just become "full" when "full" gets doubled next year?
Yes please, Slack was unusable on my otherwise good 7-year-old laptop, because presumably all the Slack developers use new Macs.

...but you gotta be grateful for it! (or else...)
Comparing tiktok to the post office circa 1940 is… an odd choice.

Tiktok is more like a foreign power owning playboy and mad magazine. People making dumb videos for a laugh isn’t critical communications infrastructure it’s entertainment. Banning ZTE and Huawei makes sense… but if your culture and infrastructure is so sensitive that Chinese ownership of dumb entertainment is a threat… you’ve really already lost.

If tiktok as foreign spyware is a problem, ban the mechanisms of surveillance, everyone does it and it’s not only a problem when China is in control of the data.
There should of course be a thousand algorithms to choose from.
Not really a concern, honestly. The cool about Stoicism is that you can just dial up your happiness without any regard to external circumstances because you and you alone are responsible for your emotions.
Yup. I may not be informed, but at least I’m not being lied to
Well you don't need the quote to get an idea of how feasible it would be for you to afford it. But I think you'd need a quote once you started fine-tuning your ask.
I'm sure with a bit of scrolling you can find it. Just a few more words.
I'm not defending registrars/registries per se, but...

> A domain isn't much more than a key/value pair in a small database.

No, it's often a huge investment and important part of security approaches (certificates, validation, email, etc.)

> You're paying never-ending rent to them for them to not go out of their way to delete your entry.

Yes, you're paying them to not update that value to point to someone else's server. Just like you pay your landlord to not only keep your apartment in working order, but to not let someone else live there.

> becomes literally impossible for them to access, change, or affect it in any way, shape, or form

How is this a good thing? Someone takes over your domain and nobody is able to get it back? You just spent millions of dollars on marketing to get people to visit your somenameforme.tld and now it points to another site because your key leaked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯?
Take a look at Linkedin, they make tonnes of revenue from premium features. The problem is that Twitter suddenly deciding that it's going to create a brand new revenue stream by charging for features that don't exist is about as sane a strategy as me deciding I'm going to start developing gills before my next swimming lesson.
The difference is that "whale economic" implies some users are paying huge huge amount of money. Like, over thousands of dollars in month in case of computer games. That sort of thing.
You don't need certified death certificates for creditors and the like, only for assets you want to claim.

When my mother died multiple places *asked for* certified copies, I simply told them she's dead, there will never be another authorized charge, nothing is currently owed so no payments will be made, do what you will with the account.
iPhone 14 Pro camera review: A small step, a huge leap
Something I've been curious about - are there any plans to sink serious effort into massively expanding the stdlib? Powershell's syntax and object-orientation I could take or leave, but access to the entire .NET Framework is pretty hard to beat, and the same draw exists for xonsh. Nushell is neat but there just aren't enough builtins.

SMTP and HTTP... everything else is crap.
On reddit the users with he most power to abuse are the poorest (unpaid moderators). So it's really more the opposite.
Shouldn't fuzzing have caught this at some point?

Eventually, yes. Unfortunately, fuzzing is usually nondeterministic/pseudorandom so it won't necessarily go down the path that leads to the bug soon enough.
> So I will try to return the laptop. If I can't return it (Already removed Windows and replaced it with Linux), it would be a 100% wasted investment.

Try to return it without explaining why. Otherwise they will try to fix the problem by sending you another laptop which has a high likelihood of having the same issue. Best is to just get your money back and avoid doing business with them in the future.

> See: every streaming service.

Plenty of streaming services have ad-supported versions that are in this price range (e.g. Hulu, HBO Max). I don't disagree that having ads at all on Twitter Blue is bad, but I'm not sure the comparison with streaming services works.
> ... done in Bill Watterson’s inimitable style. Kesinger not only nailed the famed Calvin and Hobbes look, he also nailed Watterson’s voice.

This category of using a trite expression ("inimitable style") and then instantly revealing ignorance of the expression's meaning is really jarring.

The article as a whole is good, even going so far as to note that you really can't say that a specific work does not infringe unless you've had a trial over it. But that weird sentence really bothers me.

No. Instead I buy highly curated, cutting edge DIY systems. These systems come with rough edges, which are smoothed over in a couple of years, and I use the system with all of its features for seven years or so.

Because all of the desktop systems provided the big manufacturers are either not Linux ready or very limited in hardware & configuration flexibility or both (most of the time).

Since the systems are not Linux friendly, I always rolled my own from components which are designed to work with Windows.
> i get the good intrnt to make pages fast, but making thin client pages like this radically reduces the general utility & agency of the web.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Remix and related technologies don't limit what you can do on the client—you still have the full power of React at your fingertips. The difference is that they blur the lines between client and server such that you get more or less seamless server-side rendering in order to populate a web page before you hydrate it client-side with React. If anything, Remix allows you to use React for more use cases where it otherwise would not have been the right tool.

New Success Story
Edward Snowden described one of his jobs, in his books, as something he could mostly automate, and he was then mainly just waiting, on call. Perhaps you can find some sort of overnight government contractor sysadmin type of job?
That’s a reasonable price. There is a need for some people to be verified to avoid impersonation. The vast majority of us do not need to be verified. Also, just because a person is verified does not mean they are credible, regardless of what their job is.
OK sure, but if you want to talk about wildly different user experiences, you also need to consider the likelihood of being physically rammed into the carriage by the platform staff so the doors can close when riding a rush-hour train out of Shinjuku station or whatever.
Ah, yes, that clarifies it, thank you. I agree.
It sounds like the fuzzer would have had to use an arbitrary number of bytes containing '.' and the cert would've had to pass chain of trust verification. A fuzzer is only as strong as its implementation.
WW2 was a war of expanding genocidal empires, including USA. I'm not sure what basis in reality this "nationalism is evil" trope comes from.

It happens to villianize non-interventionist nations like Cuba while excusing the enormous crimes of transnational neoliberalism.
I wish that were the case.

My perception is I'm observing extreme changes and hoping democracy does not fail. I grasp for reassurance and all people seem able to give me is "Well, it hasn't failed so far," which is the way people talked about housing prices before the crash.

Space stations and exploration can be a difficult proposition to justify to any economic system; democratic, socialist, communist, etc. For China to want to "beat" us, building bigger and better space stations would somehow have to align with the current and future five year plans.

I would rather have China and the US pouring tons of money into space stations and exploration, but it is hard to figure out the rationale for such a massive investment. China seems to make rational decisions, those of which I am not defending. I am trying to figure out how rational a $500 billion dollar investment in a space station would be to Chinese interests.
Tuxedo and System76 are nice. Too bad that I don't live in the US. It's literally impossible to find such system here. So I always had to roll my own.

Netbooks are nice devices, but they were never intended for developers.
HN comments are so full of misinformation when it comes to hardware design that it’s not even worth fighting anymore. This place is lost.
Will they actually be doing ID verification? Binance is one of the investors, so it might just be "if you can pay $8 you can be whoever you want, at least for a while".
Call me a freeloader if you wish; I'd welcome the moniker. I use Twitter lists and Tweetdeck's filters to enjoy a firehose-free Twitter experience. I follow accounts from around the world representing a broad range of interests and views, and almost none of the problems listed by the originator of this thread.

Therefore I have to conclude that "the issues of Twitter" experienced by most users are intentional.

I also have to say that should Twitter make the mechanisms I rely on unavailable (definitely a possibility given the new CEO's track record), I will have no option but to leave Twitter. I'm not willing to subject myself to sort of user experience described by the originator of this thread.
Bay Area, CA/Remote | Fractional CTO/Eng or Product Lead/Problem Solver

hey, i'm Vineet. I'm an experienced engineer/product person/eng leader who loves working in the trenches of early stage startups. For the past 3 years, I've been working with founders and seed/A stage startups helping them build products and solve eng problems -- as a fractional engineering lead, IC engineer, eng consultant, and unofficial product manager.

Previously, I co-founded a venture-backed startup where I was head of product+eng. Prior to that, I led engineering at Crunchbase. I've led teams of up to 10 engineers and delivered both business and consumer products built in a variety of tech stacks.

I still code (Rails, Node, React) so I can pitch in when needed, but am more interested in fractional/interim/part-time lead roles at companies that have gaps in their eng leadership or management, product velocity, hiring, and overall product development function.

I can help with: eng architecture/execution, managing teams, hiring and interviewing, product planning/roadmapping/strategy, working with founder/CEO on realizing vision.

Email and LinkedIn in my bio.
Here is what would make Twitter much better for me:

1. Lower the temperature of the discussion: simple, published rules like “you can use more than X(low number) expletives per Y(high number) words of text” and “you can not have ANY calls for violence” and

2. No censorship of the topics.

I think, this would restore public trust in the platform (but I am sure there are other, possibly equally good solutions that Twitter can come up with).
That's your city and state gouging you, not Saudi Arabia
Right now at least blue check marks mostly correlate to people with public personas that someone other than their own family might care about. Hard to see how diluting that even further will be a good idea.
