> Way too much noise. I follow dev and engineering stuff

Now imagine the people you follow being deprioritized by the Twitter algorithm in favor of the LinkedIn-influencer types (you know they'll be first in line for the checkmarks)
Don't underestimate the ability of small companies to have 4D matrix pricing that nobody can comprehend!

It's pretty common in custom manufacturing (which makes sense) but also companies that purchase product/services from others and re-sell them as part of a larger whole. Some folks also don't understand that pricing doesn't have to exactly match your product.

I think there is also value for certain lines of business for having a customer meet the sales team and possibly an account manager before using the product, usually if the product has some kind of learning curve or domain specific knowledge where insiders can unlock value.
You could issue the credential with an "ageOver" property set to 21; use of abstract claims like that is actually a non-normative preference in the W3C standard.

Smart watches do a better job of vibration based notification.
Twitter should have SaaS pricing:

Up to 1000 followers = free tier

1000 - 100,000 followers = $8/month

100,000+ followers = Call us

Edit: The fact that Truth Social was bankrolled to the tune of millions of dollars should illustrate the value of being able to tweet to the masses.
I've heard of the ZPU in passing but never looked in much detail - I didn't realize there was a GCC back-end for these machines. James Bowman's J1 CPU [0] is also stack-based and has definitely helped me shape my preferences.

The distortion field has been significantly fading over the past couple years. And it might be gone entirely soon enough depending on how poorly the Twitter acquisition turns out to be.
> But nobody cares if you copy a nice code pattern from a GPL code and apply it to your own code base

this is not true, smh. See Oracle vs. Google.
That is a good point that I hadn't considered, thanks.

Are smaller sensors also faster to read, given the lower capacitance? I wonder if that might give them an advantage when it comes to stacking and averaging images to reduce noise.
As in general with associative studies, it is hard to make a distinct conclusion on causation.

Do we know if alcohol decreases gray and white matter volumes? Could the causation run in the reverse direction? Bi-directionally? Or could there be some common cause (e.g., proneness to "risky" behavior) that leads to both?

Right. Also Freenode and Libra.chat are 1:1 equivalents. They’re both IRC right? Same features, same clients, same experience.

That’s not the case with Twitter and Mastodon.
Marketing on Twitter is far more valuable than other platforms.
Awesome. Creating something like this has been on my wish-list for some time.

I'd like:

- 2d visualization of the notes and their relationships (just because it's cool)

- some "typed" notes (e.g. for People, or Organizations) so I can keep track of my friend's birthdays, their kids' names, etc. Also reminders to stay in touch for the people you want to prioritize etc.

- a shareable space so you can expand knowledge within your company. People can master areas by learning, and can claim knowledge by passing a quiz or self-assessment. You can also see who knows about what.
It sounds like you're in search of a problem with the intention of developing a solution, which is great.

I find though that B2B solutions generally require extensive domain knowledge and likely network connections. In fact, many B2B software companies are started by someone trying to scratch their own itch.

Have you encountered any business challenges that you may have more insight on than the general public?

Yes, I also found the idea of tangling with GCC (or even llvm) less than appealing. It's not the initial work that puts me off, but the ongoing maintenance cost. For my own project (EightThirtyTwo) I ended up writing a backend for the VBCC C compiler. The downsides are (a) no C++ support, and (b) an unusual license - but the upsides were (a) a build process that takes seconds, not hours, (b) a simple generic RISC backend one can use as a starting point, and (c) a compiler lightweight enough that it could be self-hosting. (I can compile C code for EightThirtyTwo using an Amiga!)
>How well the network inside your skull can manipulate your limbs to reproduce good-quality work in some artist's style?

An experienced artist can probably do this in a couple weeks, depending on how complex the style is.

>If I copy a book putting ink on paper letter by letter manually, that's ok, think of those monks in monasteries who do that all the time.

According to copyright, no, that's not okay. Copyright does not care about the method of reproduction, it just distinguishes between authorized and unauthorized reproduction. A copyist copying a book by hand without authorization is just as illegal as doing it with a photocopier. Likewise, if you decide to copy a music CD using a hex editor and lots of patience, at the end of the process you will end up with a perfectly illegal copy of the original CD.

So the question stands. Why is studying artwork with eyeballs and a brain and reproducing the style acceptable, but doing the same with software isn't?
There's a narrow definition where you may refactor code to allow meeting new requirements, but it doesn't change the behavior for the existing calls.

Like, if you go from one type of sort to needing a bunch of different sorts, you might need to make the sorting pluggable, but that shouldn't change the observable behavior of the existing sort type, assuming it gets to stay. That would be a refactoring, plus whatever sorts you needed to plugin.
Free WiFi with Randomness
Someone's claim isn't necessarily factual. People can lie to themselves, or lie about themselves to others.

I consider it a fair point of discussion.
Pulling in something we all agree is bad feels like you are trying to trick us into agreeing with you.

What about exposure to television programming? Does that have an impact on brain mass? Soft drinks? Carbohydrates? Music?

More anecdata suggesting FB only does things they are forced to do.
You mean multiprocessing where communication goes either through serialization or through shared-memory where you have to use C-style programming and you lose all the advantages of e.g. a garbage collector and Pythonic datatypes?
The only thing legal identification proves is that a human created the account. It does not prove that a human is posting or reading/scraping content.

And even then, what does a photo of ID from some foreign country prove? That the person signing up had something that looked like legit ID? Or do we start building a global database of IDs of every human that is "government approved" and somehow not subject to corruption in certain countries?
Why Does Chronic Pain Hurt So Much?
Non-starter for me if it's not possible to self host. Self hosting is not only knowing that my data is private, but also that once the company behind the product dies out, my data won't disappear forever.
If you can create a new account, pay $8 for a checkmark and run a viral promotion (or scam), it's certainly profitable.

Before you couldn't trust non-checkmarks. Now you can't trust any account.
They said "could" not "should." It was, for me, context, a reference point. Such statements help push back against what is often misguided conventional wisdom. They shine light on our priorities, or the lack thereof.
Instead it should be $1/month to be allowed to post replies to blue-check tweets! (But leave quote-tweeting alone).
As Elon said, the bots are the most valuable
I just explained what the first two quotes were referring to.
Coming from a Pixel 4a to the 14 Pro I'm really impressed instead. Like it's the much needed upgrade that I felt I needed (I'm really passionate about photography). I'm seriously considering selling my DSLR now.

I think google computational might be better in some edge cases, but it comes at the cost that sometimes it over-processes things: some textures look painted on my pixel photos, some night shoot feel "cool" but do not capture what I'm looking with my eyes at all, no matter my settings. And with portraits I have this feeling sometimes that I capture a nice image only to see it somehow ruined when the processing ends, with the face that becomes too "beautified" (smooth skin, etc).

I feel the iPhone computation is overall better for the most common lightning situations and maybe less aggressive, but I would need to test it for way more time to form a more complete opinion.
As a producer of civilian airframes and a major military contractor, Boeing has discovered a way to cut out the middlemen and kill all the civilians directly.

It's an endless cat-and-mouse game. It might be true that people individually are not getting that much spam (on more modern platforms), but email is much more than gmail and in terms of volum a lot of spam still lands in people's inboxes (otherwise it wouldn't be done).

Neither - it's supposed to help Twitter's profitability.
> The tariffs only hurt your own citizens.

The tariffs hurt the producer country if the cost of their imported goods becomes significantly more expensive than other sources, because then your own citizens will buy other goods. Yes, this does still hurt your own citizens, but it also hurts the producer country as well, if they can't find a market for their goods.

Of course, this only works if most/all of the significant consumer countries all impose similar tariffs. And there are hopefully just better ways to achieve what you want.
Many servers/communities exist in which you might find a good home, but you will need to live with their rules and moderation policies. If you are a politician, journalist, or other high profile person who wants full control to avoid censorship, trolling, and cancellation, get your own domain name. I recommend gandi.net, but other registrars are available. If you already have a domain name, we use a subdomain such as social.yourdomain.com.

1. Setup your own Mastodon instance that you fully control. You have several options here:

a. If you already have your site hosted on a server, you can co-host it there.

b. If you want someone to take care of all the install and maintenance, contact someone such as https://masto.host/.

c. If you want to run it from hardware sitting in your office or home, you have many options to do that too.

2. Setup your server rules, logo, and users such as your staffers.

3. Go to https://twitodon.com/ and register your new account connected to your Twitter account. Also update your home page with this account if you have one.

4. Setup RSS for all the people still tweeting instead of tooting using https://rss-bridge.org/ or https://nitter.net/about to get their RSS feeds.
Arguably due to the depletion of natural resources, we actually have far less wealth today than we did 100 years ago.
If i let an egg rot in your yard you'll smell it too, doesn't mean it has a meaningful contribution to nox, particulate, or carbon emissions. Things can be smelly without being bad emissions-wise.

To go to Amazon, where one of my managers worked under him in Personalization and would later rave about him. It's interesting to read a balancing review now.
Tax their oil profits with a methane tax? Stop buying their oil, while they didn't fix leaks? How about this?
Both. It is sort of an “honesty bond” that Twitter knows your details in return you get a status mark. Of course the bar is quite high these days for recourse.
It's base64, but with added checksums, yeah. There's very little that I use off-the-shelf in Tarsnap -- generally speaking I take existing standards and then make tweaks as needed to optimize for Tarsnap's use case. (Sometimes, as with scrypt, I decide that existing standards simply aren't any good and develop my own from the ground up.)
And simultaneously some fraction of celebrities don’t find it worth it to pay $8 to prevent it. Muddies the water both directions.
Please don't try to incentivise users to vote or comment on your submissions, as you've done in your GiveLab promotion.

> Can I ask people to upvote my submission?

> No. Users should vote for a story because they personally find it intellectually interesting, not because someone has content to promote. We penalize or ban submissions, accounts, and sites that break this rule, so please don't.

Ministry of Truth. Thought Criminals write things and they have to be rewritten. See 1984 a book by George Orwell.
What confused me about "remember shit that you are interested in" is that I use several different kinds of apps for that already. Google, Pocket, a note-taking app, a list app. Heck, Anki fits the description as well. I watched the short video and it reminded me the way I used to use bookmarks in the browser, organizing big discouraging lists of things that I thought I should follow up on but rarely did. The option to subscribe to news about a topic by clicking a button in an app feels positively dystopian; if I'm not interested enough in a topic to find and follow specific sources, then I'm not interested enough, period. I need an app to help me filter and prune the demands on my attention, not carelessly expand them.
I have a family member who is pretty wealthy from shares in a large tech company and, later, real estate/rental properties. He moonlighted at the weekends driving trucks for a supermarket because he enjoys truck driving, and now is just doing that full time.

> that’s a horrible waste of his clear talent for building wealth

I'd love to quit my job and do what I like, gardening, music, painting, whatever. If the guy enjoys driving shuttles then he shouldn't waste his life doing something else, given the opportunity.
There are way fewer alcoholics than any other category so even if you factor in sober alcoholics you are dominated by people who drank less and now abstain or have never drunk.
> That's the core problem with this approach. Elon and others have the idea in their head that Twitter is a social graph where people come to interact with each other, and everyone is relatively equal.

I doubt you know what thoughts Elon has in his head. He likely has ideas for changes, similar to the linked page. After all, he purchased the company in order to make changes.
Phone calls aren't really a thing anymore but if someone sends me a message I feel it in my pocket. And if I miss something, so be it. Smart watches can also be configured to buzz your wrist on an incoming message.
Better than Twitter it seems!
the word I think we might be searching for is predatory.

take people with no experience, no peers left to tell them better, and construct a complete new reality bubble with no continuity & no lessons of the past remaining. do what thou wilt with them.
This is the opposite of Ministry of Truth.
Compulsion Without a Core: A look at what’s behind Political Correctness
Amazon ships all their goods on trains and big rigs both of which use diesel. Will the cost of items on Amazon go up? Or maybe just availability goes down once the edge distribution centers are depleted?
Did I say zero? Overcomplicating development will drive costs into the negative because your payroll will decrease when people quit and no one wants to maintain that jenga tower.
Let me help you out: the point of the analogy _is_ to underline how highly irresponsible Elon’s approach is.

I think one could criticize that the analogy hyperbole, but I’m quite amused at the pearl clutching that somehow I’m trying to push for nuclear annihilation. Saying the words three times in a mirror doesn’t make it happen.
Then just price in a 10% overhead for your service of dealing with this game.
I gave up alcohol years ago after reading a few of these studies. I wasn't drinking often anyways, but does it ever feel good to never feel that morning after headache. I found even one pint in the evening could disrupt my sleep.

Saving on the restaurant, and eliminating the liquor store, bills was gravy.
Yeah, my take is that the hierarchy is

web site >> mobile web site >> mobile (cr)app

With the modification that if you have a very small phone sometimes the mobile site comes out ahead.

To take an example, right when a search has brought you to something you want to read on reddit, reddit distracts you with a popup telling you it is ‘better’ to use the app. Well, once you’ve installed the app they punch you in the face right away because you’ll have a very hard time finding the content that led you to reddit. (What did you think would happen, honestly?)

There are some cases where you really need a mobile app but if I have a choice at all I use the web, particularly if it involves viewing content or ordering something.
I'm sure the product manager involved had a long design doc justifying the decision but at the end of the day, the obviously right move was to keep the name, swap out the backend, and not try to create a new brand doing the same thing. whatever has to change behind the scenes to make that happen is what needs to happen. If that person reads this I'm sure you're thinking I don't know all the details but the point is it doesn't matter. the right move is the right move.
One says "duplicate effort", someone else says "independent implementation".

Some cooperation would be great, of course. Like the US / USSR space cooperation in 1970s, despite bitter ideological and military rivalry.
I wonder what would happen if they introduced some kind of scale (boosting a post? sponsored tweets?)

$0 - you barely get heard

$8 - you kind of get heard

$88 - you really get heard

$888 - everybody thinks the exact same thing as you do and you can manipulate portions of the population (lol)

All good. I definitely agree regarding Twitter and I would also not want to do business with Musk. Hence my incredulousness with the thought of any generosity, intellectual or otherwise, being thrown his way.
Ask HN: Why does EasyPost constantly advertise that they're hiring?
(Advertising here on HN to be specific)

Basically my question boils down to are they constantly growing and need staff, or is it a rough place to work at and they have lots of turnover? I'm interested in applying but kind of want to know more.
Well some people don’t like e.g. stalkers or governments being able to impersonate them to destroy their reputations.

This is how we killed Moore's law. It stopped but we didn't.
You seem to be describing a misuse of alcohol, if anything. It's not the case that you either drink excessively or abstain completely. Enjoying a drink, even to relax, is not principally a way of coping with mental illness. It is enjoyable. Indeed, a drink (not too much; I'm not talking about drunkenness) can actually make you better at thinking (Ballmer peak comes to mind; there are some studies that corroborate this I remember seeing). Perhaps this is the result of relaxation.

Of course, if you find it adversely affecting you, then you owe it to yourself to abstain.
wow, you're really a Steinway hater, aren't you?

I've talked to lots and lots of players, and an extremely common statement is that the feel of the Steinway keys is the best. I kinda agree with that, while realizing that there's no convincing anybody on that one way or the other.

I don't think it's just that Steinway's got a name, although that's certainly a factor. They do have the marketing budget to be able to supply one to almost any orchestra or concert hall that needs one.

Finally, there's a whole book on Glenn Gould's Steinway, and I was there when the author came to talk about it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow_ZGVGmfAw

Gould liked the feel so light that you could practically breathe on it and it'd play. There was only one tuner, Vern, who is blind, who was allowed to tune it. There's a hilarious moment near the end where I ask her a question about the feel of the pedals and she said "I don't know, let's call Vern." So we call him up live and talk to him.
I wrote a neat solution to the 3rd Q in the coding challenge. Except I brainfarted and skimmed a StackOverflow answer that made me think `dict.update` added dict values together and not replaced them. Realized it too late, immediately after I submitted...

Overall a pretty cool, compilers-esque coding challenge! Way better than the Leetcode stuff - gives me a pretty positive impression of the company. Hope I can apply again soon.
It's just the simplest explanation, I wouldn't overthink it.
