What? instead of investing in a server and some open source code we should bive Elon a few millions? Are you Elon or how does this logic work ?

News websites can link to twitter or any other website as easily , is not like the average EU citizens is actually following any EU institutions (no idea about politicians, who is the regulat guy that wants political pam), I only see twitter embeded or screenshot in news webistes, the experience would not differ if the text is on a higher quality website but with less active users.
> I watched it with my dad however and he wouldn’t shut up about “wokeness”

I thought it was leaning a bit too heavily on what we consider modern issues. But then it turns out that some of the characters in the story where real and lived through this or something close to this (I forget now, but one of the women astronauts that never got to fly was a real person)

This. We already nationally regulate crop rotation to protect against erosion and disease, which can have effects beyond the boundaries of any given farm or owner: https://www.ams.usda.gov/grades-standards/crop-rotation-prac.... It seems reasonable to me that access to an aquifer which also goes beyond the boundaries of any given farm would be a reasonable thing to regulate as well.

And it's important for policymakers to have the context that international trade considerations have introduced incentives to the region that may not have been present beforehand - as a result, one should not simply say "we never needed to regulate this before" because there are material changes to the situation.
> America is not buying up bits of land elsewhere

American investors incl. Private Equity are still owning and buying up quite a lot of foreign companies. European countries are quite afraid of the pockets of American PE and VCs to gobble up the most promising or profitable businesses.
A federated network allows the user to selfsort towards the desired level and flavor of moderation.

Twitter (a centralised system) only has the setting Musk wants for everyone.
> So how much can I buy solar power for at midnight?

That's a bit like saying that there is no point in growing crops in Europe, because of the winter.
> Running an OS on multiple CPU types goes back a very long time.

Yet moving the entire world onto this new architecture and getting all developers on board to start creating software for it is nearly unheard of outside of Apple.
I would not call people who rule (current nor previous) "elite". Elites were mass murdered during WWII and later during communism, people who rule now have nothing to do with elites.
Very cool map, but wow that is a lot of advertising cookies to individually choose!
> This is a common misconception.

This is vague.

> Major OS updates always introduce more bugs than they fix.

This was my major point.

> Bertrand Serlet put up a "No New Features" keynote slide for Snow Leopard, but that was highly misleading, because Snow Leopard had many big under the hood changes,

But no new features. The major goals of Snow Leopard were to improve performance and reduce its memory footprint (by removing a lot of PPC code). What was nice about it, and what my point was, Apple had 2 years for bug fixes.

> and the early versions of Snow Leopard had some nasty bugs. You can go back and look at the old Mac OS X release notes to see the descriptions of the bug fixes. What was different about Snow Leopard than today is that it received a full 2 years of nothing but bug fixes.

Yes, thank you, this is the entire point of my criticism of annual upgrades in that a year is not enough time to fix bugs before introducing instability and new bugs in a major release.

> The Snow Leopard people remember fondly was 10.6.8 v1.1 not 10.6.0, which was much buggier than its predecessor 10.5.8.

Thank you for the straw man, but, in fact, this was my entire argument against major annual releases. I'm not sure who expects point zero software to be bug free. I would actually prefer that major releases stop entirely unless there are fundamental changes, such as a new platform.

> The current yearly major OS update schedule is death for quality, because there's never enough time to fix the bugs. The engineers always have to turn around and start working on the next big thing, never fix the current big then. There's no solution except more time between major updates.

>< This is like Scooby Doo. Thank you for making me into Thelma, Fred.

> The other difference between now and the past is that now Apple is immediately pushing everyone to update, whereas new major Mac OS X versions used to be paid rather than free, so there was a lot more lag, you had to go to the store and purchase new discs in order to upgrade, and a lot more users were sticking with the older versions.

This is a fair point, except for the part about Apple pushing upgrades. Unrestrained users push themselves with no regard to what they're using continuing to work. Though software updates can be configured automatically by the user, and security updates are pushed, Apple isn't pushing upgrades, and I don't think the OS can be configured to upgrade automatically, only update.
You guys have all missed the point of the comic.

We still have social problems despite having a printing press, or radio, or internet. In fact, at root, we have the exact same social problems as existed prior to Gutenberg's birth. Poverty, war, man's inhumanity to man, tribalism, etc.

Why have they not been solved? Because they are human problems. The problem is within us and the problem is us. It's who we are on an animal behavior level. This is the reason the boy believes we must also be "stupid". Because surely we don't think an information transfer protocol would change the animal instincts of a human being? Let alone billions of human beings?

That's really the point of the comic. Wherever we go, there we are. It's still just us in a new place.
That's a major overreaction.

And most of those servers stopped registrations when the exodus from Twitter began.

People do not have access to all sorts of information. They have access to plenty of cherry picked fact-less divergent opinions, a lot of it even counterfactual. But nothing with any quality.

Atntivaxers can't go read all the studies unless they are willing to push some tens of thousands of dollars into it or break some law.

They gave a great post-mortem at GDC one year:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s_I07Iq_2XM

What was great about it is they fully admit to wanting to give up at one point. They simply couldn’t make the game fun. They stuck with it and eventually made it a great game, but it was persistence that led to success.

Game designers with a lot of success get put on a pedestal and labelled “great”, but they fail as much as anyone, they just push through it. Or they throw their games away, case in point Edward McMillen and Meowgenics.
Sure, he is still among the richest, for a reason. He is not bad at doing tricks with money.
Don’t forget tax liability. By living in a house you own you get to keep the money you would have paid for rent and you get to avoid paying for that rent in post tax money.

It’s kind of a complicated thing to wrap your mind around but owning the things you use (car, house etc) pulls those transactions out of the taxable economy thereby becoming a tax advantaged incentive.
Does the effect fall off with the square of the distance? Is it linear? Is there a threshold?

Does adding a third person (or more people) affect it?

How is it different from, say, sitting in a cafe with another person? Do you have to know each other? If there is a difference what criteria determine that difference? Can one "pretend" that one is "body double"-ing with a unknowing stranger? Or does each person have to know they're doing it?

If you really want to investigate this IMO you're going to have to look at everything from near-field EM to Ramana Maharshi (who often taught in silence), you should study Cybernetics (by which I basically mean read "Introduction to Cybernetics" by Ashby), you should take high-speed video of people doing this and then analyze it for e.g. unconscious synchronization, etc...
Note: to make it clear as I have commented in the other thread, I believe that people should speak English in a discussion that involves people that don't speak the language(meeting, discussion that involved other people). However, they should be free to speak their own language if they want to communicate to each other in a private setting.

You are talking from only 1 perspective. Have you ever try to understand from the other side why they speak their own language?

I have been in both situation (people speaking a language I don't understand and I speak to other people in a language I don't understand) and almost 99.99% of the time it is not about YOU in the conversation. They speak their language mainly out of convenient. They can communicate/connect more easily with their peers speaking their mother tongue. Of course, there should be some courtesy apply here: don't speak too loud, make a lot of noise. But I guess it applies the same when you speak the common language. If they really need your input, they will switch to English and ask you to join the conversation.

> If you are "out of range", or in another room, then by all means, go nuts. Speak Elvish or even Klingon if that's your fancy.

So you are saying that speaking another language in public is forbidden? How inclusive is that of you? It is like British school in 19th and 20th centuries banning children from speaking their mother tongue in school. Does that sound good to you?

> when others will start assuming the worst about your conversations, than that'll be your fault.
And you don't want other people to speak their own languages to their peers just because of your insecurity?

>not HR—which sooner or later is going to be brought into the conversation...
Do you have any cases where HR involves in this? I really want to know how it goes.
The uptick of interest in Mastodon due to Musk buying Twitter doesn’t make sense. Only the left is angry about the acquisition. The right is gleeful. What the left is angry and the right is gleeful about is the idea that Musk is a “free speech absolutist” and might unban Donald Trump and other right wing / fascist media personalities.

Guess what: in the fediverse, it would never have been possible to ban Trump in the first place. Sure, leftist servers could have stop syndicating his posts, but this would not have had much more of an effect than individuals blocking him on Twitter if he had never been banned there.

Further, Musk hasn’t actually unbanned him yet. If this mastodon push was somehow successful, and everyone switched over, then Trump would be truly unbannable. He would run his own instance, and it would syndicated to all his fans. The people who are mad about Musk might not syndicate Trump’s posts but this wouldn’t matter.

Similarly, “Session” beers (4% and below I think) have helped me moderate—I don’t consume quickly enough to start getting buzzed so it never progresses past that. In fact I’ve been surprised to find that I forget about the session beer before I’m finished.
Rich text posts in HN constantly recalled this personal story that I am waiting to happen (e.g. be developed by someone else).

Since the use of an early Palm Pilot [1] I wanted to have a personal wiki. It was a little awkward in that moment comparing to something like a Squeak Wiki [2]. So when the iPhone 1 appeared [3] there was another call.

The first versions of iOS didn't include text selection and copy and paste to generate links to new pages. In this context I did a basic reverse engineer of the UITextView and could advance this towards the "wiki dream" but it would never be accepted in the Apple Store so I abandoned the idea that was basically without a business perspective.

As tptacek [4] said recently: "For several years I just use Apple's Notes.app. It's honestly pretty great; it's frustratingly good..." [5]. I would add: but it will be more great if they add native hyperlinks within the internal notes.

I didn't say that a signed int would be fine. I said that a signed 64-bit int would be fine.

Moreover, it is trivial to convert from a 32-bit signed or unsigned type to a 64-bit int, so you are not constrained by the size type of Java.

Why buy 5 Windows laptops for the price of one Mac when one PC laptop can be supported for 2-3 times as long? You can run Windows 10 on a ThinkPad T60 from 2006. Windows 10 will get support until 2025. That's 19 years support from one machine. Use a Linux distro and get even more.

Why spend more for a Mac if you get less useful life and are constantly having to repurchase software from OS upgrades breaking stuff?
Consider me cued. Not queued, that's something else.

I just dislike looking at the weak copy of Helvetica that Microsoft calls Arial, so I will replace it with some neo-grotesque that is close to the designer's intent. Helvetica is an easy choice.

(Note that Arial itself was intended as a replacement for
Helvetica when Helvetica is not available. Now that design in Arial is more common, it hardly feels wrong to replace Arial with the original -- and more-pleasing -- Helvetica. Personal preference yes, but what higher motivation is there?)

Don't get me started on Verdana.

But they did a pretty good job with Tahoma at least.

Lol the lack of finance education on this forum is a daily source of mirth for me. We were absolutely staring down a hyperinflation apocalypse in 2008. There were hundreds and hundreds of self congratulatory articles written about how the people at the top saved us. Please, for a moment, use google and read something.
One comment, re: tools to build tools. I've seen animals use rocks, in videos, to debark sticks, to be used to perform another task.

That's a tool to make a tool, and I bet there are other cases.

In fact, I recall a video of a monkey, using a sharpened stone, to break the window of its habitat. To sharpen the stone, it used something else (the video did not say anything other than the monkey sharpened the stone).

So that is another case.

I grabbed some high temperature, high-CRI LEDs from http://waveformlighting.com 2 years ago and they have helped a lot. I love them because the CRI make the colors in my house look fantastic.

I put some strips around the window in my office, and plugged a bunch of A19 bulbs into a string patio lightbulb strip in my living room. Many of the bulb lights burned out quickly though, I think because they have cheap power supplies and were interfering with each other? Kinda stinks.

At the end of the day though I wish I had lights that met 3 conditions:

• Give off high CRI, full spectrum, high temperature light

• Contain simple electronics controlled by a dimmer rather than wifi-enabled

• Gradually turn on and off with the sunrise/sunset

Is there anything in the market right now for that?
Our Problems Aren’t Procedural
I avoid updating my software like the plague. Actually, the reason I switched to Firefox is because Chrome's updater snuck past my firewall. That is literally the only reason why.

I am considering switching back after seeing how terrible Firefox is. For example, it has a memory leak that causes a crash after 3-4 days of uptime.
I’m in the field. I likely know more about it than you ever will. So yes, trust me bro. Or don’t. It’s a free country.
The funny thing is I tried to setup and Arch Linux box. I can setup OpenBSD with thinking with all the partitions and such, but that Arch Linux install was just a bad time. I'll try Debian when I get back to work. We are replacing our Samba server and the BSDs aren't real current given some changes the Samba team made.

>Millennials just have to snap them up before investors do.

Um, have we forgot 2008 already with banks pulling dark inventory shenanigan's?

Also you're assuming mellennials have any savings and it's not been destroyed by inflation and rent increases over the past few years.
And, non ironically, along with the platitudes of providing internet to the poor little child in the Ugandan bush, it’s a big driver for Starlink.

To be clear, if you really suffer from alcoholism don’t follow random advice from internet strangers on how to manage it - seek out qualified professionals.

For what it’s worth, this might be good advice for drinkers, but I don’t think it’s good advice for alcoholics (but again, please seek professional advice).
Until very recently, I did not believe that there is any chance that China will attempt to invade Taiwan in the near future.

Nevertheless, after USA has not remained content to try to cripple the Chinese semiconductor manufacturing industry, but now it pressures Taiwan to stop manufacturing integrated circuits for China, I have become worried for the first time that a Chinese invasion is no longer impossible.

If Taiwan does not manufacture Chinese ICs any more, then Taiwan is no longer valuable for China and they do not have any reason to care whether the Taiwanese industry is destroyed, because such a destruction will not change anything for them. This removes one of the most important costs of an invasion decision.
I wish apple would do 'best effort' support on older macs. Meaning, it'll let you install after you click thru two pages of warnings, and might work, or might not.
Yeah, that's all true. This might lead to a revival of professional journalism and actual reporting, however - i.e. if a known reporter with a good track record writes, 'today this presidential candidate said X, and I heard it myself', then that might become a more reliable information source than any audio or video clip.
Interesting.

Think this and a few other people are helping me make the decision to set up on Mastodon.

The trend seems to be going that way.

So it's all about actual numbers (supply and demand curve). The case of energy (and other industries like transportation and construction) shows that this supply-demand curve be weak enough to lower employee salary. Is there any argument that software won't behave similarly?

in all probability, i've been reviewing all the evidence for a lot longer than most. i appreciate the sentiment, but remain unconvinced. certainly condescending, tarring other belief's with "nazi" for disagreeing, etc. isn't convincing me more.

but you also miss my real point, even if you believe strongly that this must be solved: you can't fight big oil when you are a dictatorship

you can't fight anything unless you have a strong majority that all agree "if we do a majority vote, we'll all be 100% behind whatever the decision is because we trust our imperfect democracy to be good enough".

what we are normalizing is a society that says we'll all be behind the decision, unless it's not what our special group said was the right one otherwise we'll have a tantrum. once nobody trusts that system or anyone else in it, guess who wins and "unites" everyone? mau, stalin, putin, etc. not mr. snuggles who will save us all from houselessness and oil.

divisive and illegal tactics are incredibly harmful to both society and your own cause. the group of people who watched the private plane owners inconvenienced said "ha ha - great! serves them right" already believes your argument. the rest of the people, those who you need to convince, said "yikes these are dangerous morons throwing a tantrum" and aren't ready to listen to anything they say.
