17% of Americans that are over 7' are or have been in the NBA.

They only need to be better than a few dozen or hundreds of others at the required skills. The average 7 footer in the NBA is a way better shooter than the average player in the general population and probably better than any average college player. But shooting skill is inversely proportional to height in the NBA for the exact reason the GP stated.

To be something like 6'3'' or shorter in the NBA means you need to be an insane outlier in other skills, better than literally millions of others at your height and hundreds of thousands with your general athleticism.
But aren't preconceptions about gender stereotypes implicit in "coming out"? How would a man realize that he is, in fact, a woman, without the idea that there are certain feelings only a woman can feel?
Holy f**! I assumed the description of the video was a joke before I watched it. Now that's an amazingly specialized, if somewhat disturbing, hunting strategy.
I suspect part of what causes the hallucinations is withdrawal from alcohol combined with opiates. When you need emergency care nobody asks or seems to care if you are dependent on alcohol, they simply put you in the ICU and wait for you to wake up, going cold turkey. Maybe there is nothing they can do about it, but it seems like they should at least be aware of it and perhaps working on a solution. That they have not seems to be due to moral judgements (you shouldn't have been drinking so much in the first place.) Perhaps small intraveneous doses of alcohol would help (although the opiates would make that complicated since they interact with alcohol.) Maybe some type of blood cleaning would help. Ignoring it seems like the worst choice, particularly since it can cause physical effects besides hallucinations. This is one of a number of areas that medicine ignores. Another is environmental causes of diseases; when was the last time your doctor asked for air, water, soil, and food samples from your home as part of your regular checkup?
Most of the time you see complaints about "changes", they were approved by the original creators, actually asked for by them, or necessary to sell the game (console cert or legal requirements).

Sometimes, it'd just be really weird if you didn't change things. A lot of Japanese otome/romance tropes seem either rapey or childish in English, and only weebs would appreciate it while the average American woman would just wonder why the male characters are kabedonning or head patting you, so it wouldn't sell. Which is what the creators want it to do.
The number of ads you are seeing in your feed is them freaking out for the exact reason OP mentioned. The major advertisers who were previously spending millions per year in what was essentially guaranteed revenue.

The ads in my feed have gone from things like my bank to magic brain pills that you might find on Alex Jones almost overnight.

They are in deep trouble here.
What in the world? Are those USD?

I pay $1200 a year to insure my Tesla Model S at the max liability coverage, with comprehensive and collision. Admittedly, I've filed that I drive a max of 6k miles a year and I have the highest deductible set on both comprehensive and collision, but I have strong doubts it'd quintuple in price to insure if I went and set those to more typical settings.
Why does Twitter need so many developers?
Your name is Elmo Mask, and you just bought WhatsApp for $44, how do we change WhatsApp so that it works like Twitter? Let's build TwitsApp.
Coming originally from Fedora, anything non-declarative (like NixOS or Guix) feels incredibly clunky for servers. There is an incredible value in writing a server configuration once that is fully reproducible and results in systems that don't have drift.

For desktops there is that value as well. However, I have usually set up my macOS environment in two hours or so, the pay-off is a bit less for me. However, setting up a dev environment for development projects is awesome, especially if a project has dependencies that are normally considered system dependencies (e.g. native libraries).
To me this whole thing is pretty simple if you understand Elon’s history. He’s a master pumper/promoter much like P.T. Barnum. He’s currently attempting to inflate twitter’s perceived value after being forced to buy it by going on and on about how “alive” the site is now (despite no real changes) with much higher engagement.

I’m betting he takes the site public again in <6 months. What’s amazing though is the endless obsession with Elon by people who should know better and how they will blindly believe any and all things he says. Not even a hint of skepticism. So I imagine the IPO will garner a ton of interest and buyers who will overpay. Still Elon will probably take a massive loss on this deal unless the market recovers a great deal by then.

Both things can be true by the way- Twitter was a massive dumpster fire due to having no leadership for a long time AND Elon could be trying to pump and dump it. I think in general Twitter’s value is overestimated by its users by a huge factor. If it vanished it might leave a void in people’s day but it would not have any meaningful impact on society.

FWIW I don’t think it will vanish because while it’s a relatively small portion of society who use it regularly those users are incredibly sticky and aren’t going anywhere. After all this is over and it’s taken public again I suspect it will be largely the same site.
open block definitely uses some of appsmith and retool's code. You can use the IDEA to do your own the functions, but please do not COPY & PASTE. Don't be copycat.
I never could JOIN Twitter for that reason. I tried to use it a year ago and I couldn't turn off all of the annoying inflammatory and inciteful comment not only in my feeds but in my NOTIFICATIONS. I just found it unusable and never became a regular user.

But no, Hideo Kojima and Tetsuya Nomura are just inane writers and there's a lot of pressure to make games unnecessarily long by padding cutscenes out.

This ^^^ We weren't drilling core for todays mining. We were sampling to see if the mine was viable years ahead and where underground would be directed over the coming months. The deeper you are or the further you are from the pit or underground path the further into the mines future you are looking essentially.

If the line were "Firefox's development needs orders of magnitude less than it's current budget" your reply would make sense, but it didn't. It's merely stating Firefox's development needs orders of magnitude less than Mozilla's budget (which is explicitly not equivalent to Firefox's budget - that budget isn't public knowledge)
I think the number of follows does not represent the number of actual readers. E.g. I know you from your long-form posts on Django and such, and considering current buzz might log in to Mastodon just to give you a follow and go back to never checking it.

That, plus Mastodon does not benefit from central spam account squashing authority.

Of course, the discrepancy of follower/actual reader numbers also exists in case of Twitter, but if I had to bet I'd say it has the potential to be stronger on Mastodon.
Vox bot, vox dei.
In the first novel written by Ernesto Sabato, The tunnel [1], in one of the novel's tangents, there is a twist on the common fairy tale of the knight, the princess, and the dragon. For Sabato, the moment of clarity, of truth, is to realize the princess is the dragon.

The monster, the technological golem foreseen in the works of Lev Shestov, Martin Heidegger, Jacques Ellul and more, is that because our tool-making inclination is both our salvation from nature's whim and our damnation (environmental mayhem and others), the princess is the dragon, we are not able to purify the technological pursuit in order build a bridge between intelligence (how to achieve a goal) and wisdom (why to pursue a goal).

A historical factoid: John von Neumann, whose ideas we exploit every day by turning these very devices on, has a quote "If you say why not bomb [the Soviets] tomorrow, I say, why not today? If you say today at five o'clock, I say why not one o'clock?" [2] Apparently, von Neumann wanted to nuke the Soviets in 1945 or soon after, before they had the nuke themselves, in order to establish dominance. The Soviets collapsed themselves, half a century later, in the meanwhile and in the aftermath torturing and maiming the lifepaths of hundreds of millions of people. Who's to say what course would have been better.

[1] Sabato wrote only two more novels, On Heroes and Tombs and Abaddón, The Exterminator, all three are masterpieces of universal literature.

What is your goal? Is it better markets, or getting rid of market makers?

You seem fixated on the latter, to the extent that you will define away the quality measures of a market to get there.

The vampire/victim labelling you use is unreasonable. Market makers rest liquidity on the book and then other participants choose to interact with them. Both participants have chosen to enter the deal.

You propose a market without market makers. If you set up such a book, I expect you would find that nobody would want to trade there because they will get better prices and more liquidity elsewhere. If it was a good model, then all the exchanges would be doing it.

You misuse the term front-running here. Front running is when a broker has an order from a customer, and places orders on their own behalf before processing the customer order. In doing so they would put their own interest ahead of the customers. Rules about front running are a form of consumer protection. On-exchange market makers do not have customers, so the concept of front running is not relevant there.
These are rarely problems, really.

I agree with the author, at the end of the day Twitter is not going to make it and it’s time to consider alternatives.

They have in just 3 weeks:

- Become one of the least desirable tech companies to work for.

- Poisoned (probably beyond repair) their primary revenue source which I think was as high as 90% of their incoming cash.

- Developed a reputation as being a new home for the worst people on the internet.

- Lost many of their biggest content creators.

- Lost a huge part of their critical workforce with lots of incredible hard to replace people.

- Attracted a lot of attention from lawmakers around the world about their supposed non compliance with various laws.

This isn’t the kind of situation they are going to magically just “hardcore” their way out of. These were almost certainly fatal mistakes.
This idea is outdated by about ~5-8 years.
You’re unlikely to match the efficiency of a CVT with a 5 or 6 speed manual.
I have used rss2email for ages (https://github.com/wking/rss2email) for all my RSS feeds. That way I can use an optimal UI (to me) which is email (mutt) to read all my content.
Even adults have a hard time stopping that kind of thing. Especially when it's non violent.

Also it wasn't like he was just bullied and shunned, he hung out with those guys too. I even did a road trip with that group. So it was a complicated thing that probably also evolved after school ended.

I don't think I ever thought about quantity of friends as a thing. It's not like it's binary whether someone is your friend.
Yes, and it's hot enough that your drill starts heating up and getting the same texture if you're not cooling it aggressively, which is hard to do so deep down.

I find the general negativity towards Mastodon in HN quite intriguing, considering that:

- ActivityPub is basically a two-way RSS (which is the most beloved tech in this community)

- It's open source and you can setup your own server in one afternoon

- No sorting algorithms, no tracking, no ads

- Relatively easy to customize/hack

And to add to this, during this past month I have seen the majority of the infosec, astronomy, psychics, maths, biology, ecology communities migrating to Mastodon and for whatever reason my timeline is currently way more interesting and engaging than what Twitter offered to me.

I'm not a big social network user and I guess that's why I don't understand the sentiment in this comment section, but I do enjoy using Mastodon at the moment and I hope it stays as cool as it is now :)

Being from Eastern Europe myself (I confirm that it's not very popular), I never understood the appeal of Twitter in the current form (I'm not talking about the original idea of just posting your current status). It's like a forum with a very bad UI: a post is divided into dozens of subposts and the rest of UI leaves a lot to be desired (mostly about navigation). Before the modern social web era, we already had specialized forums where you could have deep discussions with experts on all sorts of things and those servers were already self-hosted/decentralized, while also having a decent UI with search and all. I myself used to frequent a forum which specialized on linguistics - hosted by a Ukrainian guy in Israel, you could have very interesting discussions with professors, students, amateurs on all kinds of linguistics topics. There was also a sense of community. Then people flocked to centralized big tech social networks and old-school forums started to die out but the desire to have meaningful discussions around some topic stayed so people started retrofitting existing social networks and I think that's how Twitter threads/discussions were born - same old discussions but in a very weird unergonomic format. I think reddit comes closest to the old forums, although I miss the old forum's hierarchical tree structure (for example, a subforum to discuss a subfield of linguistics).

What would be awesome if we had those old-school forums back but if they also had some kind of interoperability (same login, search across a fleet of forums, etc.)
baby steps.

Agreed. He has explicitly said he intends to take it public once it starts making money at the same levels of other tech companies (I.e. via reducing headcount and increasing income from users)

I don't think he is worried about any loss it might make if it doesn't work out, people are putting too much value on that but only as it would impact the ability to get funds for future endeavours.

Can't speak of anyone else, but personally I decided to close my twitter account because the amount of "twitter drama" has just gone through the roof. Twitter has always been a bit too much of a egg-throwing contest. Which I have been mostly been able to avoid by choosing to not follow people who's feeds is not quote tweeting people who the hate. But that doesn't work anymore, the drama slips through from sensible people too.

I don't think mastodon will be any better, the whole microblogging idea just encourages stupid hot takes and misunderstanding others. It's just not good for humankind, and I'm glad I was able to get over my addiction.
I'm curious what would define hovering as if it is not "ground speed zero"?

Honestly both names are really terrible. It took me an embarrassing amount of time to understand what a closure is just because "closure" and "closing over" are hilariously obtuse names for what is a very simple concept.

It would be clearer if people just called them function objects. They are effectively the same thing, just with nicer syntax for declaring them. Or even just "anonymous functions". I'm not sure the fact that they have data automatically attached to them is really enough to warrant a completely different and confusing name.
Great post - which contains the answer to many of the questions raised in this thread. I am working in this area as well. There is "next to zero demand for tool development" because there are great open source tools. Only in rare cases (e.g. Illumina Dragen), a commercial software adds significant value that the audience is willing to pay for.

Doesn’t AWS offer this with SageMaker? Or huggingface auto train.
The problem for Twitter though is that they are very bad at hooking people. They desperately want to be like Instagram and tiktok in that regard but just will never have those types of numbers. I suspect the reason they can’t boils down to two things- poor engineering and just a lack of content. There just isn’t enough interesting content on the site to suck people in.

I strongly disagree.
Also what would he replace it with? You seriously don't think his alternative revenue sources meant to be anything but supplementary, do you?
Nobody needs it to survive now. I don't get your point.
People expect e.g. their "daily power consumption" to end at midnight local time. When they zoom in on the daily aggregates, they don't want a spike to suddenly disappear just because it belonged to the next local day and you only stored UTC-day aggregates. Even more so for billing.

In this aside, you just described most artists. Picasso and Warhol are the two biggest pop stars in art history, and the worst possible examples of what constitutes the average artist.
Congrats!

Contributing to an open-source ecosystem with alternative tools is a great approach. Having a built-in support for other open source tools is the best practice ever.I hope you guys will grow rapidly.

We are running an open-source project too. It’s a React-based headless framework for building CRUD apps.

As being an open source project, we would like to get feedbacks:)

Repo:https://github.com/refinedev/refine

We are not offering drag-and-drop building blocks. However, you can build complete CRUD apps without needing to lock into the tool.

You can change to chronological order in timeline settings. The interesting thing is that if you do that you’ll quickly realize that most content is shit and you’ll still get suggested tweets filling the void
I mean, I was member of sports teams. Sometimes lifelong friendship evolves, but it is not nearly automatic nor super frequent.

Way more likely is that when people stop going for whatever reason, the relationship ends. Getting injured or sick or having new kid and less time or whatever all means you disappear.
> Lots of hills. Hills everywhere.

> For my city's topography, EVs make a ton of sense.

I thought your conclusion would be the opposite. Hills kill EV range.

I've had a few Fiat 500e EVs, with a flatland range of about 90 miles. But commuting here involves some good hills (~2000ft elevation change) so the true range was more like 40 miles. Which was just about barely enough to get to work. Good thing there was free charging at the office.
