debunk what? number of people visiting that weird website that includes `gs.statcounter` javascript tracker?

can we stop with macOS vs windows, it's clearly not the point

that was in response to:

> Comparing this to an M1 Mini is a bit odd since they're not competing with each other at all

to that it started with the evolution of the usages and why the OS/Machine no longer matter since the products target them all

so again, comparing both makes perfect sense

the people who add value, are using certain kind of devices

why did microsoft invest into Teams web interface first, and more than their native counterpart?

why was zoom the most popular product (it's a webapp), for visio conference, despite skype existing for years during the pandemic?

why is adobe investing into porting photoshop to the web?

why is microsoft investing into cloud gaming?

This was the strategy at the SomethingAwful forums. They seemed pretty well moderated, but definitely never hit the scale of Reddit or Twitter.
The only area imo where Obama outperformed was in resisting his administration's warhawks, like Clinton. That stance was also completely abandoned after the Dems left Obama behind, like I'm afraid Biden's antitrust moves will be abandoned once he's safely in the past.

I didn't mean that "a better education is one which focuses on programming". We'd like to improve education across the board, but have chosen to focus our efforts on STEM topics at the moment.

Humanities are by no means lesser, they're just not what we're focused on, presently. (Also, a really good humanities education probably looks very different from a really good STEM education setup. Different challenges, different problems to solve, at least initially.)
The company was cheap beyond belief. This gift card was just stupid.

The real problem obviously was that the company was so shittily run that heroics were needed to save the day. Also my buddy was junior enough to care and do it.

It's pretty sickening to see that people in this thread seem to focus on the moral hazard of thanking via a monetary means, where will this stop? One should not get paid? Not the management that led to this and also to the top level post of totally inept token gifts.
Last statement is actually the gist of what I wanted to mean. The moment you make a mass layoff that sends a message to all employees.

Please be mindful of measly 3% decrease in your salary, you wouldn't even see the difference.

The more open the management is to their employees the more they become loyal. It's all about honestly sharing burden.

You can always layoff not performing employees, a company has all the right to do so. We are talking about a mass layoff.

Signal is secure communications used not only by nerds but in situations in which privacy is a requirement for safety. In this singular case do you think its a greater security risk that someone may compromise signal and ergo your computer or that one or more of 97 different stores/repos with a multitude of different maintainers get attacked and used to first compromise your communications and then probably your computer as well?

Remember you are expecting the maintainer to not only be honest you are expecting them to secure his own machine as well.

> No, you canʻt solve it by making them anonymous, because then you will be accused of having an unaccountable Star Chamber of secret elites (especially if, I dunno, you just took the company private too). No, no, they have to be public and “accountable!”

This is bulls... Sorry.

Who cares what you are accused of doing?

Why does it matter if people perceive that there is a star chamber. Even that reference. Sure the press cares and will make it an issue and tech types will care because well they have to make a fuss about everything and anything to remain relevant.

After all what are grand juries? (They are secret). Does the fact that people might think they are star chambers matters at all?

You see this is exactly the problem. Nobody wants to take any 'heat'. Sometimes you just have to do what you need to do and let the chips fall where they fall.

The number of people who might use twitter or might want to use twitter that would think anything at all about this issue is infinitesimal.
Same reason people watch video game players play games. Seeing exactly how experts do things, in real situations, can be valuable if you're trying to attain your own mastery. And entertaining if not.
> I've always thought that slashdot handled comment moderation the best.

A limited number of daily moderation "points". A short list of moderation reasons. Meta-moderation.
That could easily turn out to be suboptimal for "decency" in the long term. If the company does not operate efficiently, it might have to lay off more than 14% of its workforce a year from now.
> I'm currently giving Capture One a shot

This is what I use, too.

I did a lot of side-by-side comparisons between C1 & DT on my raw files and I could not get DT to make anything that looked like C1's automatic adjustments.

The best I could determine is that the out-of-the-box adjustments made by C1 were somewhat complex (e.g., it wasn't a 'simple' transformation of rgb values).

Obviously, it's preferable to know what's happening under the hood instead of relying on black-magic, but I just didn't have the time to invest in trying to figure that out.

C1 is really nice. I also compared it to Lightroom and I didn't like those results as much as C1.

edit: Although C1's masking features are excellent, I wish they had more parametric masking features. That's the one thing I miss from DT.
How do I turn on this feature?
It's quite interesting that the USSR collapsed in 1991, which removed the biggest external "us vs them" actor.

But on the other hand there are also countless other factors that are going to affect society at scale: rise internet, rise of pharmaceutical psychotropics, surge in obesity, surge in autism, declines in testosterone, apparent reversal of Flynn effect, and more.

With so many things happening it all feels like a Rorschach test when trying to piece together anything like a meaningful hypothesis.
Indeed, I've seen several subs put in new rules where certain topics aren't allowed to be discussed at all, because the administrators told them that the sub would get banned if the users went against the beliefs held by the admins (even if the admins had a minority opinion when it came to the country as a whole).

Then there is just arbitrary or malicious enforcement of the rules. /r/Star_Trek was told by admins they would be banned if they talked about /r/StarTrek at all, so now that's a topic that's no longer allowed in that sub. But there are tons of subs set up specifically to talk about other subs, where just about all posts are about other subs (such as /r/subredditdrama), and the admins never bother them.

I don't think we can have a conversation about moderation when people are pretending that the current situation doesn't exist, and that moderation is only ever done for altruistic reasons. It's like talking about police reform but pretending that no police officer has ever done anything wrong and not one of them could ever be part of a problem.
Adding third-party repositories is actually dangerous because they can replace packages on your system (for example, bash) and run scripts with root privileges during installation.

Sadly many Linux distributions do not have user-friendly ways to install third-party applications and as a result we see instructions on running curl via sudo bash.

Why is this such a hard question? You would think a question as ubiquitous as "What should I eat?" would have more consensus.

Some studies show extra mortality in normal to underweight people, including from common causes relevant to average people, but there's also a ton of work on calorie restriction?

Is low BMI dangerous, or does it just commonly go along with a lifestyle that might lead to injuries and rhabdomyolysis and a case of diarrhoea in a place without hospitals?

It would be interesting to see adventurousness treated as a separate category for controls.

In the past there was no fridge, people stored their own energy, and there was no pepper spray and cops and forklifts, exercise programs had the extra constraint of physical activity being directly needed to survive.

What amount and type of activity should a modern person who has reason to believe they'll probably never be in a serious fair fight with no weapons or need to walk 3 days to get help do?

How much should someone eat when they do not ever plan to drink untreated water or go somewhere away from medical help if they catch some parasite that causes rapid weight loss?

Is the ideal profile of nutrition changed for someone who will not be exposed to woodsmoke, bacterial illness, etc?

And then furthermore, if higher BMI isn't helpful by itself, what should people who ARE in poverty or otherwise exposed to more stresses do?

Is there a subgroup that needs a metabolic reserve? Should those people eat less to save money and be able to DoorDash if needed and have external reserves like people without poverty or adventurousness?

Or is there a real independent benefit to some level of fat?

> but this "we interrupt your tweet thread for sponsored content" style tangent is a bit annoying

I found this hilarious. I don't use Twitter and so was unaware that these annoying tangents are common on the platform. As a result, I thought Yishan was using them to illustrate how it's not necessarily the content (his climate initiative) but a specific pattern of behavior (saying the 'right' thing at the wrong time, in this case) that should be the target of moderation.

In real life we say: "it's not what you said, it's just the way you said it!" Perhaps the digital equivalent of that could be: "it's not what you said, it's just when you said it."

It depends on how you set up your billing and subscription management. If you're locked into stripes subscription management, this isn't really possible (which is one of the reasons why Stripe built this :))

Otherwise, you can pin certain accounts to specific payment processors.

Or even better if you're dealing with larger enterprise subscriptions, or even smaller subscriptions, move to ACH/Wire/Invoice model with yearly billing. Saves money on credit card fees and moves away from middlemen that can hold your money hostage.

I'm hopeful about FedNow as a strong competitor to these middlemen and enabling instant, easy, low-fee payments.[1]

Said friend of mine uses his van more like folks would tent camping; just for a day or three at a time. Or he'll sleep it in and shower at truck stops while driving cross country, but then have a destination where he stays at a rental place.

It works out quite well and he can afford it, so it's a great solution for comfort while traveling (no single night motel hassles) and is still fine once he gets there.

phpBB forums have always been notorious for capricious bans based on the whims of mods and admins, it's just that getting banned from a website wasn't newsworthy 10 years ago.
Weird to put that on the employees if you ask me. It's not like there is exactly 13% of bad employees. Or 25% of bad employees but they decide to just fire 13% for some reason.

To me, it seems quite evident, they need to reduce the spending for any reason, so they reduce the workforce. Nothing to do with useless employees. You can be shit at your job or very good, they will have a metric threshold telling them you need to go. Same at Twitter, Meta, Google, whatever.

Stop putting that on the employee who spent 3 months to get a job just to be told they wasn't useful. That's 'bad' managing all the way down, nothing to do with the employee, at all.
> Server-side: If userA always 'up votes' comments from userB apply a negative weighting to that upvote

This falls down, hard, in expert communities. There are a few users who are extremely knowledgeable that are always going to get upvoted by long term community members who acknowledge that expert's significant contributions.

> Being able to block all content from specific users and the replies to specific users.

This is doable now client side, but when /. was big, it had to be done server side, which is where I imagine all the limits around friend/foes came from!

The problem here is, trolls can create gobs of accounts easily, and malevolent users group together to create accounts and upvote them, so they have plenty of spare accounts to go through.
This is not secure at all because you just gave Signal root access to your system. By adding their keys you also have granted a permission for Signal to replace any packages on your system.

I would instead manually download and unpack the app, create separate user for it, and run it in chroot. Much safer than your method.
That’s not true, you should try it. My full attention is on the call. Walking the trail, as it’s also the same trail everyday, is fully on autopilot.

Do you have more info on why you believe this?

My experience has been that Google successfully filters spam from my Inbox, consistently.

I get (just looked) 30-40 spam messages a day. I've been on Gmail since the invite-only days, so I'm in a lot of lists I guess..

Very Very rarely do they get through the filter.

I also check it every couple of days to look for false-positives, and maybe once a month or less I find a newsletter or automated promo email in there for something I was actually signed up for, but never anything critical.
If possible and reasonable, it would be great to get a short post-mortem on this (because they shouldn't always be for technical issues!)

When the things you think are banworthy get banned then you are fine with it, yes. Upthread you listed slurs as one of these reasons. A large number of people complaining about "censorship" do not think that using slurs or even calling people slurs is banworthy. So you'll run into that problem.

We already see people complaining about bans "based on the type of content." The idea that somehow other kinds of moderation are the problem and that if we only stop that kind then everybody will be happy is simply not based in fact.
An interesting time, imho.

The costs to explore a startup are pretty low these days. You can live anywhere (move somewhere with relative low COL), you can develop just about anything cheaply (open source, plus easy frameworks). You can work with like-minded people all over the world easily (remote work for '20-'21 made big inroads in that department).

And we may suddenly have a few tens of thousands of talented developers looking for work- maybe they'll make a startup, or maybe they'll join one where they get paid mostly in equity.

Interest rates are high, which means that investors into startups will want a bigger cut, but still have their money that they want to invest.

Overall, it sounds to me like a great time to be investing in startups.
