Yes, there is at least some automatic anti-duplication stuff going on. The easiest way to see this in action is to re-submit an existing URL with the exact same URL within a certain period of time, and notice that your submission just automatically becomes an upvote on the existing submission.

That said, the anti-dupe mechanism doesn't catch all dupes, and from what I can recall of things said by dang, pg, etc in the past, I think that is intentional. In particular, dupes are explicitly considered OK after a certain period of time. You can see this by noting that certain links have been submitted to HN, and sometimes discussed in detail, on 5, 10, or even 15 unique occasions.

I believe it is the case that whatever automatic anti-duplicate detection they have doesn't do much besides look for an exact match on the URL though. It was known at one time that you could submit a dupe and get it to go through by just adding some extra stuff to the query string for example. What I can't speak to at all, is how much effort (if any) the mods put into manually detecting and remediating dupes. I can't recall any of the mods ever addressing that point explicitly, but my suspicion is that they do spend at least some cycles on doing that, but I can't prove it. And I may very well be wrong.

All this is totally unofficial mind you. It's just based on my recollections from various times this topic has been discussed in the past, and my own empirical observations. YMMV.
Something similar, though not as grim, happened to my childhood best friend; physics PhD, assistant professorship at a regional university, a wife and a house. Something early in the pandemic fucked him up, and he went off into a long series of paranoid delusions about nanotech, a Zionist conspiracy, vaccines, and 5G. He started sleeping in his basement "grounded" to electrical outlets. He went off on weird racist rants on Twitter. He gave a plandemic-style lecture on a faculty Zoom call, and lost his job. His wife left. He's a short-order cook now.

Like the people in this story, the signs were there before the pandemic. A decade before, I watched him give a eulogy at his father's funeral, which dipped weirdly into a conspiracy in the Chicago Police Department. He was at the time otherwise completely rational-seeming; it seems to have taken the pandemic (and pandemic conspiracy culture) to completely derail him.
His associate Salame gave so much to the Republicans that he was their 10th largest donor.

It's interesting that searching for "xemacs" doesn't suggest "emacs", which wouldn't be cute, but actually useful.

XEmacs has long been obsolete, so anyone finding old references to it & searching it out is almost certainly helped by being redirected to GNU Emacs.

Funny you say that. Now that Mastodon is gaining some popularity, people are finally starting to realize how chatty the servers are, and some popular bloggers are already complaining about being DDOS'd by the mere fact they got post with a link triggered a cascade of simultaneous requests from +1900 servers.

Personally, I started to look at nostr [0]. It gets rid of this idea of decentalization-by-federation and makes nodes mere relays of information. The architecture is infinitely simpler and it a lot easier to scale. I'm wondering how easy it would be to fork an Mastodon/ActivityPub client and make it work with a nostr relay, and I will probably take the christmas break to add a nostr relay to communick.

Exactly. There is also the matter of efficiency: it is easier to know why something must be true than to know how it's true. Constructibility in mathematics usually means proving things the hard way.

For these people who have severe mental illness, free housing with assisted care on location looks a lot like a mental institution. Without oversight they are liable to walk out of care and be back on the street. For some homeless, that's how they are on the street today. They might have gotten a delusion that leads them from disappearing from their families, and sometimes they find them years later living on the streets in a state of complete dissociation with reality, other times they never find them.

Well, sure, they don't have to be. As a team you can come to an agreement on policies, and if you have the time, you can set up linting or configure your tools to make sure that they are enforced in CI. We use Rust and TypeScript at work, and for the latter we've made some effort to make it as strict as possible, and even added some eslint rules to enforce things more. But it sure is nice when the language itself does that by default for you, so you don't have to advocate for lint rules or tsconfig options and spend time setting them up. Plus, if it's built into the language, it effectively means that even people outside your organization are following the same policies as you.

All that being said, your point is a valid one. It's a tradeoff and depending on what you're used to, you'll feel the pain from one approach or the other more strongly.
Everyone just pretends there wasn't a time when people were spending years of their life in an MMO.

That was ruined by games trying to appeal to more mainstream people (with less hardcore Features like losing all your possessions upon death) and the micromonetization strategies that everyone hates.

There was no pre-mining in Bitcoin. There were early adopters, but I think we're all early adopters still at this stage. Really, it might not be CPU mine-able and $1/coin but it's still nowhere near final value if it managed to actually survive and win dominance over fiat. Clearly no one centrally controls it. Satoshi is gone and his money never seems to move.

I think the new owner has certainly been the spark here but there are real benefits to moving too that people are starting to notice. Replies here already cover a bunch of them but I’d like to echo the “algorithm” point too: so far my experience has been substantially less toxic and I put that in large part down to not being fire-hosed with content designed to enrage me every time I log in.

So far my experience is reminding me of 1990’s style connecting and chatting with interesting random people from around the world who are friendly and quirky, and I find being there a “nice” experience.

As a business owner in the EU I disagree.

By incorporating, I am publishing my identity (but not my private home address) in return for being granted a legal entity to do business as and which I can control and use to store surplus value or debt. Controlling the company acts as a political power multiplier, especially if I own multiple companies, layer them or use them to exert influence on other companies.

It's entirely fair that the public should have access to this information about me although there needs to be a balance between this right to transparency and my right to privacy, e.g. exposing my home address could put me in personal danger so I have a stronger interest to keep that private as long as my ownership of different companies can be correlated.

Consider that even Germany, which is one of the strictest countries in the EU when it comes to privacy, has implemented the directive[1].

The ecology of a primary forest, and a tree farm, are not the same. Besides material use, forests also provide a number of benefits. There are a number of floods which have occured recently in over logged areas which highlight this. Saplings and young trees will not provide resilience to these kinds of natural disasters without being left to mature. Clean water provided by watersheds would be another example of a benefit provided by a healthy primary forest. It is true that natural events also impact forests, but in different ways then logging or damage created by industry. That is why many foresters implement controlled burns. Controlled burns leave nutrients that are required by plants in the understory to mature. Some species of plants actually require the heat to realse their seeds. Forests are also more then trees, they are a system with a number of symbiotic relationships, and modern research is revealing those relationships are more complex then once thought.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Un2yBgIAxYs

I do understand that as a material timber has a number of uses. I just don't know if I agree that the way way industry manages forests is sustainable, at least in Canada. The best mills I worked with were aware of this and were making efforts to find sustainable ways to manage their resources, so they could continue to both keep their natural resources healthy, and their businesses. One of the issues has been the demand for timber often outpaces the amount of time it takes to grow new mature trees, for either ecological or industrial use.

Just as some background regarding my experience within the industry, I have provided a presentation below which is based on the presenters book. The presenter was involved with colleagues I worked with. People within the company I worked with were also involved changing how trees are planted in Canada.

You mentioned you were also involved in the industry. If you feel comfortable talking about it, could your provide some information about your experiences. I am open to other perspectives.

If your laptop's USB ports will provide enough amps, that could work.

Doesn't the Pi 3 expect up to 2.5 amps? I imagine some of that is for powering USB ports, so you could probably get away with 1.5 amps if you're not using them, but even that's a lot for laptop USB. I'd be surprised if any offered more than 1 amp.

I think most here on HN agree that ideas are cheap. I mean I have an old school project from 7th grade where I came up with the iPhone in the mid 90s, that’s how cheap ideas are. Hyperloop was never more then an idea (and not even a novel idea), and Elon Musk never took it further. So giving him any credit for it as an attempted invention is still giving him too much. Now that we know the reason for this idea, I think we can safely call it sinister.

I tried two burgers 1-2 years ago: when I opened the package I smelled alcohol, the same while frying them in the pan and while eating them (I cooked them "medium/well done" without cheese nor anything else as I was curious and just wanted to try this stuff out) => is this normal?

Asking because I never read anywhere anything that mentioned this... . (btw. I'm in Switzerland, so maaaybe here the product is "different" to comply with the country's regulations..., just a wild guess).

In the end I didn't like it because of that smell (I'm in general ok with alcohol, I'm drinking a beer right now), the texture and taste was acceptable/good.

Yes, policy debates are amazing, so fun, so productive. And nothing funnier than having to discover completely new and incompatible policy when changing company, or trying to change policy.

That's one of the few good things I have to say about Go, they considered policy debates and went "fuck that". I think they went too far and wrong in lots of ways, but on that front I can't fault the heart, even if I hate the language.
