also check out Metatext on iOS. seems to have solved the strange quirks i had with the default app.

disclaimer tho, 99% of my mastodoning hasn’t been on phone app. mostly desktop on the advanced web page.

after finding about 2/3rds of the people i followed on twitter i just rebuilt my lists again—using the advanced web and creating multiple columns from lists i had on twitter it’s pretty close—maybe better considering conversations are happening without all of the confrontational/contradictory weirdos inserting themselves.

What is ‘merit’ exactly?
Wow, super cool, I was in Kenya and Cameroon last year on two different projects (one tech, one traditional consulting doing market research) and there are so many problems still to be solved. If you're thinking about impact/scale for problems to tackle over there, what would you be working on? Somewhat crazy q, given how bad traffic and roads are, what do you think about dirigibles for goods transport between some major cities (or even regions like cobalt mines in DRC to Zambia)?
Agreed. Tumblr is Niche Capital.
Don’t understand this. Paris has the best e-scooter model in the world. Designated parking zones, geofenced speed limits, proper bike/scooter infrastructure. I and my French friends love them and use them frequently.
But from space, there are no rules. You are not in this country. So it's kind of legal.

A tyranny exercised with good intentions "may" be worse than all possible ones? Weak.

So, that includes all possible versions of good intentions? All good intentions lead to torment? There are no sociopathic tyrants lacking conscience?

Anyway, I doubt Yahweh considers it a sin to install tracking software onto people's phones.
As someone who puts tremendous value in technical mentorship when considering a role this is about the worst possible advertisement for being a swe in genomics as it amounts to "all our code is awful- come fix it!"
It's a full size car. I'm seeing 5.7-6.3" ground clearance, too, and they can be fitted with 20" wheels which may be the reason for the 6.3" or maybe it goes higher?.

I really do like this car. I just wish I didn't live in fear of being side swiped or rear ended by massive trucks/SUVs. Benefits of living in a rural area with lots of retirees.

Notably we also can get snow that shuts the place down in May/September.

The fact Elon paid 44b for it doesn't say anything about Twitter's actual value.
Stopped? I saw a bicycle get ticketed recently. Seemed rather strict.
Yeah I think this is fair enough after reading it back. However, that was not exactly my intention here, and I think this is a case of me needing to be more careful in my wording.

When I said that software engineers add in the speed and reliability, I didn't mean they _only_ add in the speed and reliability: just that these two tenants of good software engineering where accounted for in this "correct" way of doing things (as opposed to the state of most genomics software that I described above).

However, I can see how my phrasing can give the wrong impression about the contributions an engineer makes when the biologist and engineer sit down to do create the real thing together. In a positive environment, both sides (biologists and software engineers) share enough information with one another that the either can make contributions to the scientific/software engineering domain.
I was in Kenya and Cameroon for projects last year and went to Uganda on holiday, Kenya is far ahead of Cameroon, Uganda actually had decent infrastructure but it was all two lane highways so when you get heavy freight there can be huge delays (ditto for much of Kenya, but they built a rail line at least). Power was a bit better in Kenya than Cameroon, but in my apt (in a nice part of Nairobi) it went out about once a day and had to switch to generators for a bit.
Lexus is Toyota's luxury brand, so the two have a fair amount of similarity. The connection to Mercedes is far more tenuous.
A Godwin in two comments, that's pretty wild considering the topic.
Why do you think that GNU Hurd isn't working? The Debian Hurd port is completely self-hosting and makes regular releases.
So just move to Matrix clients (Element, Fluffychat) or Wire, Session, Tox, etc.
Even running on AWS is not completely isolating you from hardware related changes. For example AWS is retiring both old instance classes for databases and Aurora 1 soon. This is a multi week migration project with a hard deadline for me and it's not even a huge company/service. For Twitter I suspect that kind of deprecation would take month(s) to fully roll out.

There is some rehabilitation, but obviously not what we'd like to see. I work with formerly incarcerated individuals that have ended up going on to do quite well.

There's also a phenomenon where gang bangers and the like "age out" — they just seem to stop. Unfortunately for many, this realization often occurs in the middle of a very lengthy sentence (they typically drop out, debrief, and enter protective custody).

Sadly, for many rehab isn't just a matter of wanting to do better. Very large numbers of the incarcerated can't do something as seemingly trivial as parse a bus schedule. Aside from undereducation, a fair amount are objectively unintelligent. When all you know is crime and you have a massive uphill battle just to be what many would consider a functional adult, recidivism seems inevitable for some. What makes it worse is that cultural reasons prevent many from reaching out for help while they're behind the wire. It's frankly sad to see, but we're getting better —the investments being made in tablets and the like will hopefully bear fruit in the coming years.

I left, too. I don't really like social media, but I had just found the right mix of stupid but funny accounts to follow. I was checking Twitter every day. But I deactivated my account the day after the deal went through. I'd rather move on than patronize something owned by Musk.
Ask HN: Parents, did you have to quit your career to raise a family?
I’m looking to hear stories of parents who wanted to keep working, and enjoyed their career but due to high childcare costs/lack of work flexibility/other reasons, your only option was to quit and become a full-time stay at home parent.

If so, was a part-time job ever an option? What other scenarios did you consider to try to continue your career? Are you the mom or dad?

The AWS jobs aren’t even related to genomics. They just have genomics in the description of types of workloads performed by customers of AWS. The jobs are hard core CS automated reasoning jobs.
The official reason stated in the article:

"Because of the current state of the configuration, there are [International Traffic in Arms Regulations license] restrictions and photos are not permitted at this time"

So it may or may not be related to damage, but there may be ITAR controlled tech visible. They are obliged by law to not leak that tech.

They're literally the same species. You might still need a license to produce hemp, so they could plausibly consult the license list, notice your cannabis, see you're not on the list, and get a warrant either way.
Wait ... what (?) ... 'good intentions' are not very relevant here.

I don't care what Koch's other objectives might be, this is an ugly transgression of people's rights.

Arbitrary government surveillance is an incredibly bad thing and a very slippery slope.

We're witnessing governments around the world establishing '360 Surveillance' for all sorts of 'socially positive!', but ultimately dubious reasons.

If the government had specific reason to grab information about a specific person and a lawfully obtained warrant given a specific set of circumstances - then yes.

Or if we're talking the government buying generalized anonymoized information that is publicly available otherwise - then yes.

But slipping spyware onto phones is straight outrageous.

I'm generally a communitarian type person who believes we ought to step up and do the right thing as citizens but even I recognize this as the slipperiest of all slopes irrespective of their reasoning, and I can't fathom the tone of the comments here given that this is HN with usually a distinctly more libertarian-ish leaning.

"Not everything requires a good guy and a bad guy. "Everybody Sucks Here" applied here. "

Sorry but the 'Government of Mass' are the 'Bad Guys' here and the 'Koch Brothers' (or whoever is paying for this, I don't care) are the 'Good Guys' for going after them. That's it.

This will hopefully be resolved in the courts.

The maple syrup cartel is only for quebec, so while it does influence the price to some extent, producers in Vermont and Ontario are in no way required to match the price.

It’s expensive because you need a huge amount of land, it only produces for a few weeks, and you can have years with almost no production. The cartel was created to protect producers against those huge variation of supply from years to years.
For me it's essentially being my own journalist. I cringe writing that, as 'being my own journalist' is basically what every extreme-wing lunatic says in just about every conspiracy group. But of course I like to think I'm different.

That means that whenever I want to form an opinion on something I try to seek out information to construct my own arguments, based on premises, based on facts, to eventually get to conclusions.

That limits the range of topics I can draw reasonable conclusions on given I have limited time. The result is that on most topics I don't actually hold any firm stances because I simply don't know, despite knowing quite a few facts about said topics. And I'm okay with that, I'd rather be not sure than to be wrong, and outside of some political or health or work decisions I have to make every now and then, it's not really necessary to have to draw a correct conclusion all the time.

For example I really don't need to predict with a great degree of certainty whether Tumblr or Twitter is going to succeed or not over the next 12 months, and for what reasons. It's interesting to follow the facts, but concluding a trajectory from that is not necessary.

And I find that 'the news' is still pretty good at reporting facts. Not so great at drawing conclusions from them, always. But just getting facts is fine for me on a whole range of topics. Then I pick the few topics that I want to really draw conclusions on, and research it myself. (which usually involves seeking out prior research by others btw, in a non-news setting, often academic).

You're definitely on to something here.

The root of the worrying pattern is that you and your team are not aligned on what Technical Debt is. Do you have a design/code review process? Do you have a coding standard? (I think these are prerequisites to alignment)

Using the unfamiliar library example, there could be a review process that happens before the rewrite that considers at least the following:

- code life: is this throwaway code or will it be used for the foreseeable future, have good enough documentation and tests to survive team turnover?

- team knowledge: what technologies are familiar/unfamiliar? What technologies should we all be learning?

- alternatives: what existing libraries are available? How well do they meet our needs?

Cautionary Anecdote: I once joined a startup. I remember the last bulleted line in the job description was "Preferred: Knowledge of functional programming languages such as Scheme". The interview process was straight C++ and no one mentioned a word about functional programming. After a couple weeks of code sifting and it became clear that a former team lead who'd recently been let go was a hardcore Scheme guy. He built and maintained a chunk of the build infrastructure which by the time I arrived had been obsoleted by a Python tool. No one else at the company understood or wanted to learn Scheme. (Nothing against Scheme BTW). The desposed team lead failed to bring themself and their team into alignment. That they were removed rather than leaving on their own indicates that they either failed to recognize the problem in time or recognized it and chose to ignore it.

You must be clear on the existing skills of your team members and realistic about what they are capable of and can be motivated to learn.

This should be one of the places where conservative "originalist" judicial philosophy shines: after all, that entire philosophy is designed to constrain government power based on what was reasonable and expected in the 1700s. You'd imagine that one could use this approach to protect citizens from government adoption of modern surveillance technology (which is capable of "searches" that track a user's electronic records, among other things.)

Surprisingly, that's not at all what we've seen. For example in Carpenter vs. United States, the Supreme Court was asked whether tracking someone via cell-transaction records required a warrant under the 4th amendment. Chief Justice Roberts and the Court's liberal justices said "yes, it is a violation because citizens should have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their movements." Meanwhile the most prominent originalists (Thomas, Gorsuch as well as Alito) filed dissenting opinions lamenting the decision, saying that the 4th amendment doesn't provide any protection for these records.

Anyway ordinarily I wouldn't respond to a political rant, but I do think it's important for HN readers to know what the most important judges in the country are actually saying on this point.
The most important work I've done in any company isn't obvious from some small snippet of code in isolation. It's a clever bit of modeling data or code architecture that would look completely unexciting without knowledge of the problem domain.
While those actions are indicative of a possible sting, they are also equally indicative of a scam artist. "She" might have been some guy (male) in a boiler room somewhere just trying to scam people out of their money. The avoidance of any form of contact where you could see that the person you were conversing with electronically was not the person from the photo, while requesting payment up front, fits the scam artist method as well.

I think its very funny how you note that you can get rid of half the employees at most companies with no effect and then attack “leftist messaging.” One would imagine that market competition would immediately eliminate such inefficiencies. I suggest you read some Graeber.
A lot of wifi/other wireless analog devices go through analogous training procedures. Things like timing and delays are pretty important to these types of systems and you don't have a clock edge to synchronize against like you do in wired protocols like SPI (though I imagine DDR initialization does have pins used for this or similar).
