> Once your servers become the de facto public square

Twitter ? It's far from a public square, even in the US (outside of the US it barely exists)

Also, if an online public square is a pre requisite for democracy: it should be a public utility, not something owned by a company who's incentive are diametrically opposed to the interests of the users

Am I having a stroke or are the examples not looking good? Subtle kerning issues and the page layout reminds me of a Word letter page. Maybe I'm not understanding its potential.
The pebble was a bit of a gimmick. It was the start of the future but on its own it was kind of worse than a regular watch. It looked ugly, had a terrible screen, didn’t have any of the stuff you mostly do with a smartwatch now. And half the features no longer work.
IMO, the best solution to the problem is friction. Criminals are criminals because it's easy. If opening a fraudulent store is 90% as difficult as opening a legit one, no one is going to bother.
Still too much, I need a 20p camera.

Amiga wasn't crashing all the time. Had it for 15 years.
Multitasking in early 1990's was the freaking future, that's it.
Amiga did not do well because of Commodore and application support, not for supposed crashes. Do you remember Windows 95???
Count me two. Me and my esposa still use our Pebble Times.

Once in a blue moon I buy a hot new smart watch, but nothing lasted more than a week before being resold.
As a big Pebble fan, I was really sad to see the company go without any similar alternatives in the market (at the time). My watches ended up having various hardware issues over the years, so I switched to something else. The efforts Rebble has put in to keep these devices alive is amazing. If they grow bigger, I'd love to see them do hardware.

In the meantime, I'm wearing a Withings ScanWatch [0]. Not as extendable as a Pebble, but it has some features I care about and doesn't distract me.

> Each sub-reddit has it's own moderation team that decides what's acceptable and then you opt-in.

It's a great concept, though it's worth pointing out that there's considerable overlap of moderators between subreddits (a.k.a. powermods).

In effect, you end up with a single system applied across hundreds of subreddits which may-or-may-not be appropriate, and if you happen to earn the ire of a powermod you find yourself banned from all the subreddits they moderate.
TikZ is the worst for this. I don't usually have any problem picking up esoteric programming languages, but whatever the hell is going in with TikZ/TeX will be forever beyond my comprehension.

That few?

I wasn't a huge fan of Pebble, the company - they didn't sell replacement parts, for instance (the watch for geeks? yeah, sure).

For some crazy reason, though, to this day, this watch is still almost the only one that gets such a basic thing right: Telling the damn time.

The formula is as simple as it is unreplicated:

- Always telling the time

- Good battery life

- Buttons

Why nobody else makes such a watch is a mystery to me. The Amazfit Bip comes close, but it requires touch interaction and doesn't look as nice as the Pebble Time Steel. It's also supported by GadgetBridge though and also does heart rate tracking while having much better battery life (while being smaller!). When my Bip broke after a few months I bought another (5 years old at this point!) Pebble and am pretty happy with it. I could use some heart rate tracking, though.
.uk has .ltd.uk and .plc.uk which are only available to registered companies. No one uses them
I'm a morning person. 2 jobs ago I would show up to work around 7am. I avoid all traffic, get a quiet office to get work done. Bang off a couple quick early morning tickets. Everyone else? They show up sometimes between 8 and 9; almost always grouchy and complaining about everything. Make their coffee as slow as possible, saunter back to their desk, drink it as slow as possible.

But then when I leave earlier than they do... they complain. So my boss allowed them to leave early with me. So everyone basically got 1 hour free pay every day except me? Because I'm a morning person? how very motivating.

1 job ago. I was an outbound tech, I was given security code and key to the office. In case I need to get supplies from the office on a weekend or afterhours. Lots of people worked there, usually 2 people were in the office before me. One day, I show up and nobody was there. So I opened up the office, but I neglected to do the morning chores I didn't know about. Primarily starting the coffee maker. I'm a starbucks latte type, soI didn't partake in their 1970s drip coffee. Not to mention they charged $3/cup to their employees...

There was an official investigation by one of the owners to determine who opened the office and didn't put on coffee. It wasn't an investigation into why the normal people werent there.. when they figure out it was me... they say they cant trust me to be able to open and be alone in the office.

Like what... then they order 3 new people to be in the office. They all hated me like nobody's business. 1 of those people had kids and used to drop them off to school before coming to the office but couldn't anymore.
Peter Cotton has atleast a dozen very credible studies/results on prophet vs other timeseries libraries. Before committing to prophet, please check out a few of these (all over linkedin). His tone is acerbic because he believes prophet is suboptimal & makes poor forecasts compared to the other contenders. That said, you can ignore the tone, just download the packages & test out the scenarios for yourself. I personally will not use prophet. Like most stat tools in the python ecosystem, it is super easy to deploy & code up, but often inaccurate if you actually care about the results. ofcourse, if its some sales prediction forecast where everything’s pretty much made up & data is sparse/unverifiable, then prophet ftw.
I think this is very important and generally poorly understood:

Scaling problems exist both up and down.

In exactly the same way there are solutions that work well in the small but become disproportionately expensive when you scale them up, there are solutions that are cost-effective on a large scale that become prohibitively expensive on a smaller scale.

The latter category includes a large chunk of enterprise-y cloud solutions.
As long as we're talking about fair, is it fair that your son, who was given every possible advantage by his well-educated and affluent parents, is graded on the same blind rubric as a kid whose father is a felon for possessing a couple ounces of marijuana and whose mother has to work 3 shitty retail jobs? Wouldn't it be reasonable to argue that the second kid getting, say, a nearly (but not quite) perfect SAT score and a 3.9 GPA is at least as impressive, or arguably more impressive, than your little darling keeping his train on the tracks that you and your wife have laid out for him?
True. But perhaps 16k people sold their Pebble because they wanted a shiny new watch, and they were bought by 16k other people who can't afford that new watch.
If it's possible to train models that show people the exact ads they like, then I have absolutely no doubt one could do the same to only show the content you like. Learning from downvoted and reported posts, etc.

On second thought.. I suppose that's Tiktok.

Charging it isn’t really a difficultly. I don’t like to sleep with a watch on so I take it off and put it on my side table. Where the magnetic charger snaps on. Basically no more effort than not charging it.
The FBI was recently kicking in journalists doors because they had seen, not stolen or even published, Bidens daughter's diary.

If somebody in power wants to make a name for themselves by starting a "war on cat thieves" or similar you may face the same treatment.
Yes, back when Voat still existed, /r/TheDonald tried to move to Voat. Then they moved back to Reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/c5urdn/what_i...

Apparently /r/TheDonald was very used to being in a safe space. Voat didn't cater to that, and TheDonald couldn't take that so eventually they returned to Reddit.

This was before their separate website.
Mine too. Would one or two of the 16k please make the pitch. What are the features that keep you using it? How much work to get it going again?

This is timely for me as I’m now in the doghouse for missing a reminder to take my kid to the dentist yesterday :(
At some point one has to wonder if driving Twitter into oblivion is actually his intention. Not sure exactly why he would do that, but his actions so far have seemed more consistent with that than with any intention of saving it.
1/ Twitter is a US company. It needs to follow US laws and it can ignore laws of all countries that are not the USA. Why should a US company dance to the tune of foreign governments anyway? Not to mention that those requirements may be mutually exclusive or contradictory.

2/ Twitter, not being a publisher, is not responsible for user-generated content. Just like Verizon is not responsible for what people say on the phone to each other. Advertisers should have some controls over what content their ads display next to. Giving controls to users and advertisers is the key, not heavy moderation.

3/ once again, controls. Twitter already has an option to show (in feed) only tweets from the people you follow and their connections, that's a good start and I see no spam at all.

"Block things that are illegal by law and leave the rest" is hilariously easy but must be accompanied by tools that allow users and advertisers to tailor their own experience.
You might want to look into the Amazfit and Mi Band Devices that are supported by Gadgetbridge[1]

I haven't looked into the process of watchface creation but there is a huge collection[2] that can be installed via Gadgetbridge. It also has the benefit that its privacy friendly without any cloud connections and fully opensource.

I’ve had innumerate similar experiences, where my actions saved or made clients millions.

I did not get a thanks - gratitude is meaningless, as whoever expresses it for whatever reason will be perfectly happy to turn around and rip your face off five minutes later having entirely forgotten that you just saved their bacon - however I also did not get a kick in the nuts, so that’s good enough for me.
Religion, politics, and discussion of the giant pumpkin create group think and mobs. It's been this way before the internet and will be that way after it's gone. Any group that contains more than one side that thinks they are right and that won't change their mind no matter the evidence will lead to this.
This can also apply to going to college. I know several people who went to college, mounted up a healthy college dept, and ended up going into the trades to make enough money to eat and pay the dept. As hard as it is to say, young people have to stop listening to their parents or others who will advise/force/scare them into a decision that will financially hurt them for a long time.
They're going with the netherlands/russian model of milking other countries' taxpayers now that the local well has run dry.
I generally think it's better to start with something even simpler than Prophet, like EMA and ETS.

One of the "auto ARIMA" packages in R (Forecast or Fable) could also be a good choice.

However I think Prophet is a good next step from there. It's at least a sensible starting point for your own feature engineering.
I would welcome POSIX shell or at least bash as an alternative to a compiled C/Rust/Go binary.

But yeah, for these types of utilities, relying on an external language runtime like Python/Node is pretty rough.

I think that’ll be the future soon enough, only caveat being the thing may broadside semis or run off cliffs from time to time because the manufacturer cheaped out on sensors and rigorous engineering.

But hey, that’s why we need an intermodal private pod transport system. Purchase and decorate your pod to taste, then live and work in it as poorly-paid drivers ferry you and several other pods (each lacking line of sight on the other) around the world.

I look forward to blog posts filled with live, detailed accounts of startups losing pods (with their indignant customers inside them) at various rail and shipping depots.
I was under the impression most car thefts were already to chop them up for parts anyway so this doesn't seem like a new incentive.
