Grant us a little leeway: it all takes time.

The DID PLC registry is a placeholder because what we actually want is akin to a ICAN-style governance over it. When we talk about a “permissioned consortium” we mean as opposed to a “permissionless blockchain.” It’s not that we haven’t solved the mechanics; it’s that the right solution is a people/org problem and not a computing problem.

We include DID Web as an option in our system, which comes with its own tradeoffs but essentially falls back to DNS+HTTP as a replacement solution. We did that for a lot of reasons, but one in particular is understanding that we may indeed have gotten this technical decision wrong, and need to move away from PLC. I should note however that DNS is akin to what we’re aiming for with DID PLC — a global org operating the central registry.

The most egregiously absent solution with PLC is economic: it costs money to host the DIDs, but we don’t want to pass that cost on to end users. We’re going to need to suss that out, but the answer might just need to be that server operators pay for their registrations.

I can understand you preferring ActivityPub. We wanted to pursue a different design. If we’re wrong, and AP thrives, I’ll be happy enough.

Also, I missed “cheekily” in the copy review and I’m taking that out.
How on earth is this abuse legal? What kind of power play is this? Has the world gone mad and we are all simply sitting and cheering while these people are dragged through the mud? How can we bring elon’s network of abusive entities to the ground? I am not spending any money on his products but how can we make significant impact? While i understand twitter needs to be made profitable I am now pissed off.
I mean, Google Glass was crap and they did some dumb things there, but because they had a limited release, most people don't know how unusable it was, and it probably increases their cool high-tech image. Although, maybe it increases their out-of-touch image too (especially in the glasshole phase); but it doesn't contribute to killed by google, really.

Also, Google Watch is basically Google Glass on a wrist, so building it out wasn't a complete waste.
You think no users dropped off when a site became only usable through Tor? What are you basing that on?
Oh stop it. Microsoft has made/done plenty of positive things, you're just blind to them because you have somewhere between a mild dislike and a hatred for the company. Open your eyes and see.
The amount, but probably not the way they were executed (in several different ways)
> The heart of the art is in the intra-personal conflicts and human aspect observations, and the skeleton is the plot.

Precisely what makes it art is the background though.

> The background is just (literally) a backdrop. Which is why you can set Romeo and Juliet in 20th century America, or Antigone in space - as many have done, and the heart of the work is still there just fine.

Yeah, and I even told you what the heart is.
That's Gall's Law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gall_(author)#Gall's_law
Notably, Larry (the lawnmower?) and Elon appear to be on good terms and aligned on the twitter thing, judging by this text exchange where Larry offers $1B to help secure the Twitter deal and upgrades to $2B with no compunction after a gentle prod from Elon:

yeah aws have remote Mac , from my experience its very good .
but not cheap
I think it is a big deal to them because Musk does not appear to be completely subservient to the corporate-political orthodoxy. Same reason why Trump was made such a spectacle.
I don't see many people cheering it on here, in fact most of the news about copilot has been negative. Where do you see positivity?
Indeed, not to mention that you cannot just mix licenses. The vast majority of licenses are not compatible. It just so happens that some popular ones are, but in general the output is either GPL-like, MIT-like, or incompatible.
Well, let’s just leak the Windows source code into the training set. Then M$ will have no choice but to shut it down.
How did you end up on this team?
Who knew that we had it so good back when the appointed God-king of your favorite PhpBB forum was some 16 year old Livejournal user?
Well you can have your own interpretation of copyright law, but the Supreme Court – who ruled in favor of Google exactly on the basis of these three tests I shared above – will disagree with you.
It sounds like you should use twitter.
They also have a much higher-quality product and have done a much better job adding features that users actually want, and shipping them at a faster rate

Something to think about there
The difference is that the regexp is embedded in your code as part of your code and won't change after you've shipped your code. It can only panic if your code is flawed. If the compiler was smarter, it'd be a compiler error. It only ends up a runtime concern because the compiler isn't smart enough to interpret your regular expressions to find your mistakes.

If you were loading the regexp from an alterable file at runtime, to allow the user to change it after the program is shipped, you wouldn't use regexp.MustCompile. You would use regexp.Compile and gracefully deal with any errors that the user may have made.

If you are talking about compile-time configuration, where once your program is built it won't change, why would you use YAML when you could simply use language-native variables/constants with actual compile-time safety? Regexps can improve on some programming problems over writing the equivalent code, so it's a good tradeoff in some cases. YAML is never nicer than the equivalent code.
Yes; sorry I wasn't clear. I meant the people on HN commenting on "In defense of linked lists"
Yeah, I know that Hitachi makes industrial equipment. I'm talking consumer products divisions here.

Also yes, HP is alive. It is a shadow of its former self when it comes to the impact on the industry.

Sony is the name that fared best in the consumer space due to the outsized impact of the Playstation franchise. But again, it's a shadow of the presence it had in the households worldwide in the 80's. You had to be around then to appreciate just how ubiquitous their consumer electronics was. Sony was the Apple Inc of the eighties.
I don't expect a $5 to try to do much beyond preventing someone from accidentally opening the door. I do expect a $329 lock to not skimp on basic features to cut a dollar off the BOM.
> Important for these COVID-19-related findings was the lack of informal communication that the project team suffered in the absence of face-to-face interactions. In the past, JPL's success typically relied on senior members of projects and technical line organizations "walking the floor", dropping in for conversations at office doorways, or chatting in the cafeteria. Without these informal communication mechanisms, contextual clues and situational awareness were lost. Team members working the floor found it difficult to report problems up the chain over Webex, especially when attendees kept their cameras off."

> ... The lockdown conditions contributed significantly to the question of why Psyche and JPL leadership did not know of the severity of the problems with GNC and V&V until it was too late to correct course.

> ... The IRB recommends that, given these exceptional circumstances, the team should minimize remote work conditions.

JPL has been suffering a brain drain over the last few years, and it sounds like the remaining cadre of managers are not so competent. Remote work is a convenient scapegoat, but it is far more likely that the problem is an ossified chain of command and a lackluster set of communication tools (Webex, shudder).
High density dwelling units should start to have separated garages for storage of e-bikes, electric scooters, and EVs in general. Perhaps specialized gas suppression systems are also necessary to contain lithium battery fires. Some foresight is necessary for the smooth roll-out of electric transportation for all.
What? People are free to make accounts. So are companies. So are you. The EC is no different.
Before we get even more convoluted reasons as to why this is all part of Elon Musk's grand strategy and how business classes in the future will pour over every detail to understand the brilliance, can I suggest a simple explanation:

Elon Musk makes brash decisions and has no idea what he's doing here.
You're going to be really upset when you discover how much FOSS is funded by governments around the world.
> Scraping for federated networks isn't necessary a bad thing either if people want different interfaces without having to register for developer keys.

i’m not sure i understand all of this, but i don’t think you generally need developer keys to use your own interface in this space. in the case of Pleroma (the focus of this article), the default interface is a SPA that i think doesn’t get fed any special state but just populates the interface using documented API calls. so 3rd party apps don’t usually need any special approval.
Dang needs to step in and put a warning at top in each of these threads (I think he did it once in one of the main threads). Those tend to be really helpful. The discourse aroung Elon Musk on HN is seething with irrational hate and not a whole lot of sensibility.

I feel like I should hit the 10k karma point and bail out of here. I definitely do not fit here ideologically, politically and intellectually anymore.
The phrase "keeps honest people honest" is oft said but I think it isn't quite true to the real mechanism at play, which is a system of societal incentive structures. How about this: "locks only keep people out long enough to notice them trying to get in." The relevant factor then is the ratio of picking difficulty to situational difficulty.

You could have the worst lock in existence, but if you're using it to chain your bike to the rack next to the police station in the worlds busiest street corner, no one will ever attempt to pick it because even though they could, there's a near 100% chance of getting caught. Conversely, you can put the best lock ever constructed on a door in some secluded alleyway no one ever checks up on and it won't matter because there's no upper limit on what a thief can do without arousing suspicion, so they will simply use a blow torch.

There are neither honest people nor dishonest people, just rational incentives. The real locking mechanism is the societal system of property rights which will take you to jail if caught trying to subvert the mechanical system of property rights.
Sometime, departmental heads will try their best to save themselves. In order to meet the downsizing target they will find as many people to get rid of in order to save themselves. It is common to see this happen in many companies. Just that, most will hide it as rehiring for replacements (which usually at a lower budget but with bigger tasks to assume than previous leaving staff). In tweeter case, decisions might be sub-optimal when Elon took over. Anyway, recession is around the corner, so tweeter can easily find the best when market is in a slump in coming 3 mths.
You're both right but only one of you is seated in reality, the other describes the reality we aught to be in, but are not.
Sounds like a benefit for everyone involved

That's a good question. The Qbix.com/ecosystem section is the section of the site that discusses the broader ecosystem we are building. QBUX is at the center of that ecosystem. But you don't have to participate in it, if you don't want to. You can, for example, run Qbix applications on a wifi mesh network in a rural village anywhere in the world, allowing people to make plans, date, organize events, make appointments, go to school, learn things online and much more.

Please tell me, what software would you use today to do all that?

> "Social Operating System" doesn't make sense

It even defines it right there under https://qbix.com/platform ... what social applications are. Did you see the video, or really anything?

> "Who is the nameless Our Company"?

Qbix Inc. The company behind https://qbix.com -- it's right on the site.

Automattic is behind Wordpress. No, it's not a corpse of a failed commercial endeavor. NGinX took 10 years before it was commercialized. MySQL took 7. And commercializing it didn't really add much value to it... MySQL was simply forked to MariaDB. But both NGiNX and MySQL were in fact "controlled" by one entity for quite a while, before they became big. This is normal.

What are the other things that look like warning signs? And why did you not look at anything besides "QBUX"?
WebEx does exactly the same thing as any of the other video chat clients. At least it did the last time I used it.
God, this headline is a blast from the past. They said the same exact shit when the dot com bubble popped.
Don't watch Family Guy then? "Blast!" is one of Stewie's favorite expletives.
To clarify my post, I was not trying to claim that the current vr headsets are comfortable, just that it isn't remotely like having a screen inches from your face.
There are plenty of instances who makes it a selling point that they don't block anything. If the have free speech in their name, you can assume that's the case.

The end result however is what you'd expect and the experience on those instances are very different from what you see on the more mainstream ones, and most people wouldn't like it.
I love trackers more than a piano-roll or bar. Renoise is my first choice, after this PT-clone, Furnace/DefleMask for chip sounds

It really depends on the compatibility as for me protracker functions are important. Renoise doesn't even do all but it's an overall great tool. Others are sunvox (crossplatform Jeskola Buzz-like), or even native on UAE/Amiga I would se OctaMED. I have to say, OpenMPT is also good, especially for playback.
Not an issue, but they need to stay away for social interaction. Whats this communism and there is an agent infiltrated everywhere just to be sure we are constantly fed propaganda?
But the Lock Picking Lawyer didn't pick the locks! He opened it two ways that require little skill: bumping and raking. At least they could have made the lock bump and rake resistant at that price.
Superficially? Yes. Practically and scalably? No.
It can be re-used for cleaning if you must.
If you're going to kick yourself in the balls, presumably you kick them both at the same time with your favored leg, making use of the increased precision of that leg's motor skills and balancing as needed on the other. You're not going to jump in the air and try to kick each individual testicle with both legs at the same time. So it's not surprising that there is outsized damage to the lowest hanging testicle due to undue force in an attempt to get both in a single kick.

Another option would have been to kick one's balls "Tai chi style," moving the foot ever so slowly toward the groin. But if you're not used to doing that you're just as likely to strain a muscle or trip.
> I thought one of the biggest uses of JSON-LD is SEO, and schema also provides a descent framework for common API structures. I am confused why this attempts to argue that somehow using JSON-LD might be a bad thing

I am not the author but I found it a counterintuitive but legitimate point that as much structured data as possible is not inherently good (even if that's my natural tendency to think so).

It's okay if someone scrapes a web UI but keeping in mind use cases (SEO is not among them?*), not wanting to make extra accommodations for machine consumption and wanting to keep data fidelity as low as possible without hurting interoperability between clients sounds as a reasonable goal, and applicable to protocol design too.

* From LitePub docs:

> An important property of LitePub verses ActivityPub is that messages are intended to be transient, when message handling is properly implemented in this way, significant security advantages over the original ActivityPub approach are achieved, such as message deniability.

You can't want both transience and SEO. Those who want the latter may be better served by another solution.
I think everyone is missing point on this. This is actually a feature!
Loose your key?
Loose your iphone?
Loose your Apple Watch?
No worries just ask your friendly neighborhood door to door sales person to open your door for you!

You will literally never be locked out again!
/s

Jokes aside it is pretty shameful to sell a poorly made product, and then justify it by saying that it’s still safer then leaving your door unlocked. $330.
Section 230 of the CDA protects operators of interactive computer systems against liability for user-generated content.

It's the reason Twitter isn't liable when someone uses it to send death threats to another person.
I don't hold it as axiomatic. You can read arguments for this position in works like On Liberty by Mill https://www.econlib.org/library/Mill/mlLbty.html .
But it seems obvious to me that it is true in that if there is a single predominant channel of information, any disinformation propagated on that channel will gain much more credence than if multiple competing channels are available. For example, you can read on how the war in Ukraine in its initial stages gained popular support in Russia as a mission of liberation and "de-Nazification." In support of this propaganda effort, independent news sources were shut down.
I didn't read that as literally asphyxiating them, just dumping a bunch of petals on them. I can imagine it might not be as funny to the guests as it was to him, though.
Why is it not banned then? why are we talking about banning TikTok over suppositions then?
It still doesn't feel like a DFS though. It's not picking the next node in a consistent order. I wouldn't expect gaps between the search.

This nerd-sniped me so I dug into the code, it's because it uses the non-recursive approach but it has an extra step of not adding neighbors to the stack if they've already been added previously. So you get this staggered line search because it avoids searching any tiles adjacent to a previously searched tile unless there are no other options. Decent optimization and still technically a DFS, it's just not the textbook example.

I wonder if management even realized they'd ditched their entire accessibility department.
Sony. The one and only.

The tagline was true at the time.
What abuse? Layoffs and firings are legal. Asking people if they want a job back is legal. I fail to see any abuse.
The EU has their own instance. You likely saw messages from that one that was federated with your instance.

They may also have created an account before their instance was live, but their posts should all be from their instance now so if you don't want to see it you can just block the EU instance
To me this comment is a bit naive, as the main point of hiring people in silicon valley for a public tech company is to keep people from working on something worthwhile so that competition doesn't exist. That's why so many people "work" at TWTR and other large tech companies companies. Obviously all of these companies are extremely overstaffed, as anyone who has worked at one can easily attest to.
Maybe Musk realized that they might have broken UK criminal law [1] and is backtracking now?

[1] in the UK if you lay of more than 20 or 100 people at one time you need to notify the business secretary 30 or 45 days in advance https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/nov/05/elon-musk...
"whether people can live the life they want" is itself influenced by culture, i.e. it is one thing to say that LGBTQ+ should not be ostracized but another to come up with specific models of how to deliver on this value.

What I'm trying to say is that there need not be just one way to deliver on this value -- there can be more than one valid approach to making LGBT folks have freedom & respect.
Businesses don't run on engineering
Apple had already laid off 2800 people the previous year, and Wall Street had already been expecting more layoffs. The article DHH cites even says the post-Jobs layoffs were less extensive than some had expected. The Twitter layoffs are far more severe.

Furthermore, the Apple layoffs were directly connected with the cancellation of specific projects. It was well known at the time that Apple was seriously overextended with huge, over-budget projects. The Next acquisition made some of these redundant. Jobs and Next brought a clear strategy for Apple and the base materials on which to execute that strategy.

DHH cites analysts with qualms about Apple's future and tries to compare them with coverage of Twitter today. But there's simply no comparing. If you read the contemporary coverage, nobody has any real concerns about Jobs. The critical ZDnet piece he quotes even acknowledges that the layoffs were necessary for survival. The theme of the skeptical analysis of the time was not "is he going too far", but "will it be enough".

DHH is right about one thing, though: "Twitter ain't Apple, Musk ain't Jobs".
I think this is a large part of it:
https://twitter.com/GoAngelo/status/1588696157794242560

Apparently, Twitter instantly lost ~15% of their 2023 revenue because of their poor showing at NewFronts where a lot of upfront ad buying is done. And with Musk firing the very teams the advertisers care about e.g. ethics, brand safety, human rights the industry is turning against them. Decade of painstaking work by Twitter to attract these advertisers gone in a week. And even worse Musk fired many of the relationship managers and so the company can't smooth things over.

It really isn't inconceivable with this trajectory that Musk could bankrupt the company within a year.
I am a people but the EC is a government. It doesnt have the same rights. I mean we debate government control and surveillance all day long yet these try and invade everything in our lives. Should use political channels for their propaganda. Else we are back to square one. Today its the ec, tomorrow the ccp, then trump, then we argue we dont want trump and the ccp then we argue about censorship then we argue about what is even censorship and so on. I for one wont be using this server until these creeps are banned.
Every non-criminal contract is essentially just question of money (or some property).

So take down contract, equal to return money (property), nothing more.

Question could happen in cases like Ponzi scheme, where subject just have not enough money (property), to cover liability, but this is ordinary thing, usually covered by Insurance Company or by government.
Those local authorities are under extreme pressure by monied interests (including Airbnb) to accept the commoditization of their housing market for “digital nomads”. Even in places like Los Angeles where most people are renters the local authorities have barely begun to get the situation under control.

‘U.S. Authorities Seize Z-Library Domain Names’

November 4, 2022 by Ernesto Van der Sar

HOME > ANTI-PIRACY > TAKEDOWNS AND SEIZURES >

Several domains related to popular ebook repository Z-Library became inaccessible a few hours ago. DNS records and other information suggest that the shadow library was targeted by the Postal Inspection Service, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Justice. Confusingly, Z-Library says that the downtime is linked to a hosting issue.
Basically I'm referring to weaponized mob violence, the kinds of things that have occurred in Ethiopia or Myanmar recently but also elsewhere.
unfortunately I have. an instance was brigaded and flooded with very illegal content. and then the instance was taken down forever by authorities. all the instance users could do was try to flag everything they could but it was too much.

edit: it was called sinblr and rumors are that it was an instance called pawoo that flooded it with seriously illegal content.
Loyalty works both ways. “Servility” is a better word.
There are plenty of people with right-wing politics who are not "made a spectacle" like Trump. Trump and Musk are spectacles because they have made careers out of spectacle.
