Generally, it is. The initial spike of electricity does the most damage. In addition, a sitting drive can eventually see the lubricants settle and stick. Once the drive is spinning, there is virtually zero friction wear. That said, a drive spun up once every several months will likely have a very long life for storage as long as the lubricants were manufactured correctly. I still have old ~500 MB drives that still work. The main advantage of having them run 24/7 is you are likely to register warnings before the drive completely dies, giving you an opportunity to decide how to deal with it. A sitting drive can simply not start up again. Plan accordingly.

Global Income Coin | Remote | Full Time | Non Profit | $100k+

Global Income Coin is building a stablecoin that lifts people out of extreme poverty by providing a basic income. We're a nonprofit startup. Our mission is zero extreme poverty.

The stablecoin is called Glo. Glo is the ethical cryptocurrency. We will compete with the current stablecoin incumbents (Tether, USDC), but will also aim for mainstream adoption beyond the crypto world. Ultimately we strive for Glo to be widely used for payments just like the dollar or the euro.

Glo will be a fully-backed stablecoin. We will invest our treasuries in short-term treasury bills, then give the proceeds from that investment away to GiveDirectly. This will be the starting point for our vision of a crypto-based UBI.

We raised a $2m seed donation from Sid Sijbrandij (GitLab, YC W15) and are hiring broadly to help realize this vision:

- Head of Community

- Lead Writer

- Copywriter

- Communications and Social Media Manager

- Brand partnerships manager

- Operations manager

- Motivated individuals with a vision for how to grow GLO

The While pricier the DS18xx range are the most common I've seen (depending on your budget). If you plan on getting one used off ebay, look out for the 1815+ and others in the xx15 generation, they had faulty intel atom chips that ended up hosing the systems sadly.

Absolutely disagree.

The social issues are exasperated by their recommendations (inflammatory topics) and constraints (short tweets).

In a town square, you can theoretically walk away from a screaming mob.

On Twitter, this is nearly impossible with today's tools. It would be like wack-a-mole, for every one harassing user, two more would show up.

So there has to be a way individually, to mass silence certain topics.

E.g. Use a regular expression to block any topic AND/OR user that tweets about topic Y containing X word patterns.

Tokyo's building codes do require bathrooms. Plus minimum sunshine for a room to count as a bedroom, along with shutters on all windows.

What caught my eye about your comment is central heating. Japan in fact penalizes central heating. Not just not requiring it but going so far as to increase property taxes slightly.

In Japan's case it is a desire to reduce energy intensity in a country dependent on energy imports.
It may not be a technical problem, but a way forward may require or be facilitated by not-yet mainstream or novel technical architectures and implementations, including new algorithms.

Couldn't you implement a strategy of replication and tiering to reduce wear across all drives? Some drive groups could be put to sleep and an infrequent event, like the failure of another node or disk group, would then cause these drives to spin up.

I know it’s a little different, but AWS Glacier doesn’t keep all data “hot”.
I think you are asking the right question when asking if there is something inherent with the people, or if the systems are failing. But being binary about it strikes me as a tribal. The realistic answer to your question is that a little of both are true. There is no black and white answer here.

I think you may have been being sarcastic with your last comment on Americans being defective, but it may not actually be that far from the truth, and I'm American. I'm sure we could copy some strategies and be so much better at everything like the extremely developed Europeans across the pond, but the American society and certain features that are rotting from within has a lot to do with it.

Band-aids are nice though and I see no harm in using them.

The trouble with that list is that those are supposed to be pigeonhole categories.

"Those that belong to the emperor" is an alright category as any animal could belong or not belong to the emperor. You get in trouble working in a system where that has to be disjoint from "bird".

"Those that look like flies from a long way away" is a category that contains all of them.

A while back I was interested in databases like DBpedia and Freebase where you don't really state that anything is disjoint from anything else as most of the categories overlap with other categories. For instance, a person can be an Emperor and an Actor and a Wrestler... See Nero Claudius. Wikipedia doesn't necessarily distinguish between a video game, a manga and an anime that have the same title, so unless you are going to split the topic you're going to have something that is all three even though somebody might think those classes are disjoint.

Lately I have been involved in OWL modelling of financial messages and there, as in some other domains, most classes are disjoint -- in some cases that's a deliberate decision of the modellers, in other cases it is fundamental to the platform I am sucking data out of.
ESMAtlas – a repository of 600M predicted protein structures
I can't speak much about the technical stack, although I would probably write it in Python and or TypeScript because that is easiest for me, or in something exotic like Nim for fun.

If decentralized, I would think about a clause in the license that mandates some kind of federation. Although, it seems like the ability to not federate with certain instances is seen as a selling point for some Mastodon users.

Most importantly, I would not try to build a Twitter clone. Twitter is often "yelling into the void" aka write-only, and when you get something back it is often aggrivating. Sure, you can also have great exchanges and meet nice people, but all in all it is just not so pleasant.

What I would go for instead is a clone of early Facebook or MySpace. You have a profile page, you can present yourself as you like. You have statusses but no global feed by default. People can send you private messages, but they can also interact in some fashion with your profile. A social network, instead of social media.

One thing I'd like to experiment with is derived identities. Say you want to participate in a community (forum, group chat) with similar people. You want to use a pseudonym, but the community wants some assurance that you are really a teenager, or a woman, or a technology expert, or whatever. Your main profile would "prove" this, but you don't want to disclose your identity. So you create a new account, and the system would vouch that the new account is e.g. from a woman older than 21 with an account in good standing, but disclose nothing more. I think I can work out a cryptographic scheme so that even the server cannot connect the two accounts, but everybody can verify the proof... but it is tricky.

Looking forward to verified celebrites and government members with alt-accounts posting controversial stuff under pseudonyms ;-) ... OK maybe not, when I think about it.

Given that the Chinese military will spend weeks pouring over the footage it would be rude not to say hello.
The world I suggest already exists. Some things are illegal to say.
Doxxing and serious harassment (probably depending on how "serious" it is, IANAL) are crimes though? Why isn't there a court order to shut down the site? Why did the site die at the hands of Internet vigilantes instead of being properly executed after a trial? Is law enforcement inept enough that it needs help from random activists, coordinating a Twitter/Facebook/WhatHaveYou campaign to convince some influential people to act? Why the same influential people were not told to act by a court? There's something wrong here...
> It's not like Twitter's creators maliciously set out to become the flaming hellscape it is now. It responded to market forces and user behavior.

"I didn't tear down the rainforest, the markforces made me"

"I didn't cause global warming, I was merely responding to market forces"

Please. They wanted profits and made the world a worse place. Don't condone such behavior.
There’s some justification for this. There are maybe 2000-3000 people in the world who are seven feet tall, and traditionally you would prioritize footwork, physical strength, rebounding, and defense over shooting for those players. Steph Curry is 6’2”, which is a much more common height so you can be a lot more selective about whether or not a 6’2” point guard can shoot as opposed to a 7’ center. Now we do have lots of big guys who can shoot, but not all of them can do the other things well enough.
> > anti-semantic
> Why?
I can't speak to the other poster, but I found the PowerShell example to misleading because it required the presence of a variable that the Nushell did not. I had to read through the code three times to understand:

- Whether the code was modifying some fundamental environment variable that would affect the running of other programs?
- If the variable would need to be accessed after the command was run?
- Why the variable was named `os_list`? This was admittedly stupidity on my part, but it wasn't event a concern with Nushell.

> > non-portable
> PowerShell 6 and later run on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

PowerShell is absolutely multi-platform and that should never be held against it. However, my personal experience has been that most PowerShell guides assume that you are running Windows and will attempt to call commands not available on other platforms (e.g. OS services, other applications). Granted, scripting tutorials for Linux and OSX also assume the presence of certain services, though it's easier to search my path for `7z` than figure out whether the Get-Acme-Version command is available. Nonetheless, the issue is more of documentation than implementation.

> > verbose
> This is by design

As for the verbosity, I'll fully agree that PowerShell is highly verbose by design. However, that's a design decision that makes it inappropriate for some applications. An aircraft carrier is larger than a kayak "by design", but that doesn't make it any easier to strap to the top of your car.

TikTok's algorithm sounds to just be generally less transparent than Twitter's. I wonder if they've gone out of their way to just reduce the reach of political content on there in general. Or, if Twitter just acts as the grease trap for this kind of content.
Everything I know about Twitter’s technical history, it was a shit show when they first went public and now it’s considered pretty good and is actually referenced a lot in Designing Data Intensive Applications - the book you are always told to read to help pas a system design interview.
Kinda getting As We May Think vibes from this one.
I think your looking at the problem wrong. It's not Twitter's job to fix people.

It's Twitters job to connect people in a communications graph. This is absolutely a technical problem, as there are many possible configurations, operations, and filters one could apply.
I appreciate your optimism, but unless you supply some evidence, it's an extraordinary claim.

How was the F-35 a bad decision? It's already cheaper than every competitor it has and is leaps and bounds the better overall fighter due to its stealth.
I love your indignation; it validates the way I've felt about various things over the years, so you deserve some explanation of the culture and my thought process:

I'm reminded of the investing maxim that "markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." I'm a military officer who's not yet senior enough to be vested for retirement benefits, but senior enough to be within striking distance of vesting after 15+ years ("golden handcuffs"). The career model for officers is also "up or out" and every year counts (i.e. one needs to remain within the top 50% of performers who've also devoted the last 15+ years of their lives to this). If it takes the bureaucracy longer than a year to change something stupid, I need to be very thoughtful about what stupid things I choose to protest with disobedience. Furthermore, as someone who works in the IT part of the organization, saying that I can't figure out a way to stay logged into Teams would be an especially bad look. A significant part of my job at the time was helping non-IT people to find solutions for stupid IT problems while advocating for changes to the IT people above me.
One characteristic of a monopolist is that it is a profit maximizer.

We need to broaden our understanding of what a monopoly is to deal with this issue of Apple’s organization trying hard to capture 30% of all e-commerce.

Apple currently has 75% of all smartphone profits. This means that the ‘# of devices sold’ is not a meaningful argument: consider the thought experiment of Apple funding a startup to sell an infinite amount of worthless $0 phones that are just advertising backed so that they have 1% of the smartphone market due to number of devices ‘sold’

Apple forcing the behavior of how apps innovate is stifling the ecosystem.

Nice project, similar to react-admin

What I didn't like about react-admin was that they became an "open-core" commercial project. After that happened it seemed like more effort was spent on the premium version, and features in the core became a much lower priority or moved out of the core.

Looks like this is advertised to be much more open and flexible, and no sign of a "pricing page" which is refreshing
