This is what makes it so dangerous for almost all major social media platforms to be controlled by the U.S. This is digital imperialism, American ideas and values are inconspicuously spread through memes (in the original sense of the term) and foreign children, teenagers and young adults are raised on them.

Any nation that wants to retain control over their culture and values should have social media sovereignty.
I find it astonishing that you thinking the current employer of the BDFL isn’t public knowledge! But even more astonishing that you alluding this can have an impact on the PSF. GvR working for Microsoft isn’t the same as Microsoft acquistion of GitHub.
For how much FB subsidized VR headsets, they should have double down on Android phones with their own appstore. At least they seem better positioned than Microsoft who had to get OS to comport with Windows and Amazon.
For one, an organic network (for the sake of the argument I'll play along if you want to reduce a human to this) has rights, freedoms and ethical values and is not controlled by a single entity and has not specifically been instantiated to generate profit for such.
Or you can get great conversations going, help struggling strangers get up and become pillars of their communities. Which sometimes requires deleting snarking comments, ban aggressive repeat rule offenders and deal with occasional personal attacks.

Moderators have powers, use power and are often not at liberty to reveal all what went into their decisions. Moderation on any scale is however a team effort and is then subject to scrutiny, discussion and review. Power tripping moderators will be removed by the team and in communities with a sole moderator who is on a power trip it will not thrive.

I think he means software product company. Anyhow, regardless of that his statement is inaccurate because Zoho IS NOT an Indian company. Majority of its employees are in India (and the founder is Indian) but that's true for a lot of other international companies as well, that doesn't make them Indian.
You criticized Chinese tech companies for being incubated in a walled garden but then criticize TikTok for being subject to US government regulations in the American market? Shouldn't you also give Facebook the same criticism? The only place where Facebook is still experiencing substantial growth is India where their government banned TikTok. It seems to me like TikTok is the real international competitor.
> The other important reason is that the "Not interested" action is seamless and TikTok actually learns from it.

Have you ever used it? Because is doing a "decent" job but not a "great" job. I've been suggested videos that I constantly flag as "not interested" all the time (and since it has no "block" functionality you gotta suck it up if it comes back again)

The algorithm is great but is more about where are you located than anything else. You don't get to see a lot of the content created in the first place just because you're not in the right region (eg. I never saw a Charlie video for example)

Overall I think it might apply a weighted approach on what to show and based on your engagement double down on what you are likely to watch more. Then you've trends, top creators etc that get featured more often.

The only thing I love about TikTok is the non-existing advertising. There's some, but is rather seamless and non blocking that sometimes you are even going to watch it.

Nothing to do with YouTube where you're basically in a worst situation than the classic TV (ads every now and then)
Well we know how that goes because Microsoft essentially did that.
Good question. Same origin policy always applies so if you aren’t going to backdoor the browser as a bypass you need to in the same domain. The primary limitation then is that you must own the site you wish to automate, or run a replication of the site from either localhost or a domain you own.

I recommend running the site from an aliased subdomain. This will allow ownership of https certificates with a wildcard to your primary domain and that subdomain can point to the environment that contains your site database or services. You can also have a subdomain that uses production https certifications but resolves to a loopback IP like https://localhost.example.com pointing to 127.0.0.1 and/or a AAAA record pointing to ::1.
> Copyright was originally intended to protect the creators of a work.

No, it wasn’t. Copyright was originally intended to protect the publishers of a work. It was later transformed to nominally focus on the creators, but even this was lobbied for by publishers in their own self-interest after the old law directly protecting them was allowed to lapse, and because it still had the same net effect since realizing value meant licensing to a publisher in most practical cases, so the publishers were still major beneficiaries.

And, of course, US copyrights under the Constitution do not exist for the purpose of protecting creators, instead a private benefit for creators is a mechanism but the purpose is expressly to “promote the progress of science of useful arts”.
Are you really unaware of this? It was the top story in the country for months. A documentary about it even won an Oscar. As someone else has already replied, we are talking about the vast domestic spying apparatus that Snowden revealed, including the PRISM and xkeyscore programs. They are unquestionably unconstitutional and illegal. Anyone that suggested they existed before the reveal was an insane paranoid nutjob. Furthermore, the fact that there was virtually nothing done about this severe crime by the rest of the government indicates that the entire system is a farce. The NSA is still doing the same thing as before, and probably more.
I don’t see Multipass mentioned here. We switched from Docker desktop when the license changed and it’s been relatively smooth. The installer is friendly, there’s a vm with docker preinstalled and all we had to do was configure network bridging.

I'm on a project that breaks even + some pocket money. Main problems is the code base which needs a major overhaul in order to reduce cost of change & maintenance. I don't see a meaningful way for incremental ( = over a long time) refactoring, because that would increase code complexity for a long time until the incremental refactoring is finished while we'd still need to implement CRs and fix bugs. Any refactoring has to be done in a big-bang approach, but the project isn't generating enough money to fund that downpayment.

Anyone who understands cryptocurrency understands how it doesn't make the old financial system obsolete. If anything it reminds people how good their day to day life is because their government is relatively competent at managing the national currency compared to an unregulated currency.

The fact that 99% of cryptocurrencies have no reason to exist including Bitcoin is visible in RAI. RAI is the Swiss franc of cryptocurrencies among hyperinflating nonsense.

What RAI represents is effectively a currency with an entirely computer controlled central bank just like Friedman dreamt of. Now that is possibly the greatest invention of this century. It is battle tested in one of the harshest environments. While every other currency(crypto or not) is dropping like flies, RAI is only dropping as fast as the Swiss franc which is hardly losing its value.

It also represents in some ways how technology has made all sorts of institutions and paradigms obsolete. Those who are profiting from these previous paradigms and/or are less cognitively adaptive subconsciously are threatened by these types of changes.

I don't know what is going in your head but I could easily accuse you of the same. RAI represents how technology made the old paradigm of hypervolatile currencies obsolete. Bitcoin traders who were profiting from this paradigm or people who are unable to understand computer controlled monetary policy are theatened by these types of changes.

By the way, mining rewards are not a monetary policy because they don't take the supply and demand for Bitcoin into account, nor is there a way to get rid of excess Bitcoin.
> Which doesn’t explain why other countries, where the government didn’t dump a shitload of cash, are seeing even higher price increases than the U.S.

Wheat is a global commodity, and the Chicago price is what the world works off of.

> but the dollar is historically strong at the moment.

As compared to what? It is historically weak compared to wheat, but presumably you mean compared to other currencies? Global transactions largely take place in USD, oil in particular, and the increase in monetary supply ended up in the hands of Americans first, so they have more of it to spend while the rest of the world does not, leaving those holding other currencies trying to buy up more USD all while Americans are trying to hold onto it over inflation fears.
Woah I found this article:

https://www.vice.com/en/article/jgpkw4/rotisserie-chicken-gu...

"Did you start to get really sick of eating the chickens at the end? And how did it impact your body? Oh yeah, my body was affected. I had constant cramping and my stomach was bloated. Like, you can kind of feel the pulse? Like when you run and you feel the pulse of your heart, it’s like my stomach is constantly throbbing and then my oesophagus is kind of like raw from the salt. I also lost about 14 or 15 pounds, which was weight that I didn't need to lose."

How did we miss this story? That's the Real deal.

That first experience was the same for me, it heavily depends on the game you attempt too play wherever you're able to get used to it or just keep getting KO'd.

If you give it another try I'd suggest games such as SuperHot, beat saber and pistol whip, as youre only controlling your camera perspective, which makes it much more tolerable.

But yeah, one frame drop and it's gonna feel like someone bashed your face in without leaving a bruise.

A popular theory I’ve heard is that it’s quite common for social media platforms to “turn up distribution” in the early years to attract content creators, but that they’ll inevitably turn it down later once they think creators are significantly reliant on the platform. I guess the idea is that this short of rapid distribution of content across the network and learning what consumers like is potentially at odds with maximizing revenue?

Sure you could. Of course no serious investor would make the acquisition.
Certainly.

Nevertheless, this is without doubt one of the most promising news about batteries ever published.

It was well known that an aluminum-sulfur battery could have very high performance, but previously nobody was able to make one that could be recharged without damage.

The point of this announcement is that at MIT they have discovered a molten salt electrolyte that not only allows recharge without damage, but it also allows the recharge at a very high current.

An aluminum electrode is among the best materials from the point of view of the ratio between electrical capacity and mass. It is worse than a lithium electrode only in the ratio 9/7.

However, in a lithium-ion battery, the electrode that stores lithium also contains other materials than lithium, so it is much heavier (and also much more expensive, because the other materials usually include nickel and/or cobalt). So an aluminum-sulfur battery should be both lighter and much cheaper.

This aluminum-sulfur battery will never be able to replace lithium batteries at small capacities, e.g. in a laptop or mobile phone, because it must be operated at a temperature high enough to melt the electrolyte, so it requires a thick thermal insulation, which would take too much of the device at small volumes.

On the other hand, at big capacities, such as for a car, it has extremely good chances of replacing the lithium-ion batteries.

The longevity of such a battery might be limited not by the number of recharge cycles, but by the time of operation, because the molten salt might slowly corrode whatever materials are used for making the battery. Nevertheless, there is a lot of experience with making enclosures and electrodes resistant to molten salts.

Moreover, this battery uses very low-temperature molten salts, which are heated only a little above the boiling temperature of water. Such a low temperature diminishes a lot the risks of corrosion and it allows the use of reduced thermal insulation.
Just ask for your PD. Nobody cares. I'be never heard of anyone sleazy enough to not give this information out.
That’s still a small number of players dominating the market. That’s the definition of an Oligopoly, and the Disney/HBO offerings very much fall into that.

They certainly have the ability to uniformly raise prices (tacit collusion) with no viable competition to enter the market and fill the gap (as even the vast sums others have thrown into it have shown how hard it is to produce good original content).

This is probably due to the characteristic that producing goods (decent original content) in this market is a big barrier to entry - which naturally leads to a small number of players. Natural monopolies and oligopolies are common - but do require closer regulatory attention to ensure desirable consumer outcomes than just letting the free market decide.

It may not entirely fit all definitions, but the general economic theory and applications/implications are relevant to consider this market.

The original post that you questioned was related to vertical integration - you could effectively find and replace it to “so you’re saying producers of operating systems shouldn’t be able to make their own web browser?”

Cable was never intended to be ad free. It was originally a method to rebroadcast over the air content from the broadcast stations in areas that couldn’t get a signal. You’re paying for the infrastructure to make that possible - not the content.

Complaining that cable TV isn’t ad free because you pay for it is like saying all content over the internet isn’t Ad free because you pay for your internet connection.
... you're going to have to run that past me again. If my cost of producing a gubbin is X, and I sell it for X + 5% margin, then start selling it for X + 15% margin, then the price will increase. Seems straightforward, what am I missing?
No, I don’t think those things.
A declaration of extinction is a statistical statement - we can’t check under every rock in the world. If we have done a bunch of checking for a species under a bunch of its favorite rocks, and found nothing, the odds are high that it is extinct. But sometimes species beat the odds and a later rock-check finds one after all.
My understanding is (please correct me if I am wrong) people/companies need to charge maximum amount they can to actually control the inflation in the long run. Assume everyone charges exactly the cost of a product without any profit margin, which would result in more savings for people with money. In return, they will buy something else with the extra money (including assets) increasing demand somewhere else.

In this scenario, if no one increase prices, either something will go out of stock or we need to have enough supply to meet maximum possible demand.
I think companies are increasing prices because it is easier than increasing supply. If demand is shown to be persistent they will increase supplies too. This is similar to chip shortage we had. First prices increased, now they are trying to increase fab capacity. No need to invest in manufacturing capacity if this extra demand is just an anomaly which will disappear soon. Reducing prices later is much easier in this scenario.

I recognize people without means are squeezed in all of this but I also don’t see any easy solution.
I’d like to try it as well if you still have any invites left. Thanks
