Hmm I see your point, but I disagree. I think creating a Twitter developer account and getting an API key is MUCH harder than signing up for mastodon.

For example, I have a colleague who has been a big twitter user. They’re a passive listener on the site, and want to move to mastodon because people are moving. They created an account on mastodon.social and struggled to find their people. I suggested some tools that would help… and they refused on grounds that they were afraid the tool would abuse their twitter login information.

I wound up trying to explain oauth scopes. They didn’t get it and still haven’t tried. There is no way this person would sign up for a twitter dev account. But they are on Mastodon and putting some effort into figuring it out.
It means the rich and corrupt people (they're lawyers) use the EU's strong data protection regulations to hide from the public knowing the extent of their wealth, businesses and influence.
This headline appears a bit dishonest.

Actual headline should read, "Mastodon Crossposter hits Twitter's API rate limit".

The story here is the increase in Mastodon users using crossposter, not an artificial limit specific to Mastodon being implemented by Twitter.

DeSantis' actions are the will of the people. The only question is whether it's a violation of a corporation's free speech - and when does anyone ever really care about that.

Imagine a scenario where a corporation was talking anti-left stuff in a blue state. E.g. immigration, unions, etc. Would the people not be entitled to revoke their special privileges because they don't like what they are saying? This is the real test.

I'm actually not sure, but its interesting to flip the actors political affiliation to check for fairness.

This is covered in ChatGPT’s learn more section:

> ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers. Fixing this issue is challenging, as: (1) during RL training, there’s currently no source of truth; (2) training the model to be more cautious causes it to decline questions that it can answer correctly; and (3) supervised training misleads the model because the ideal answer depends on what the model knows, rather than what the human demonstrator knows.

To be fair, I think giving 10 to the “big man”, a unverifiable email but which was vouched to by another recipient of the email (do they have a copy with a DKIM signature? I never saw that asked/answered), was the more relevant claim than the son with nudity.

If you mean that some(all?) the particular tweets mentioned as censored by Tabibbi were about frontal nudity and thus reasonably censored I am not arguing.
People might speak in absolutes for the sake of brevity, hyperbole or rhetorical laziness, but still, almost no-one takes a truly absolute position on free speech when push comes to shove.

E.g. most free speech "absolutists" would agree that there should still be some kinds of laws against defamation, targeted harassment, and direct incitement to violence. That's my position.
>Twitter subsequently reversed the decision, saying that it had updated its hacked-materials policy and would not retroactively apply it to the New York Post.
I’m seeing a lot of that in the Fediverse right now. Stuff that worked just fine for years is suddenly overwhelmed by the usage spike. Lots of volunteers putting in lots of cycles to scale things.

Fortunately it seems to be mostly working. I expect things will stabilize over the coming months without turning too many people off the platform.

Snowden didn't hack the CIA, he obtained the information legally and chose to disclose it (which was probably illegal, but widely regarded as moral). Hacking a 3rd party to obtain information and then disseminate it is a different matter.
Maybe the point is people continue to be labelled 'conspiracy theorists' regardless of being actually, factually proven correct. Makes the arguing so much easier when you can just keep dismissing the 'other' rather than say sorry.

Yup. She doesn’t do all those gym reps, vocal runs and photo shoots out of the goodness of her heart. It’s a job, one which she’s at the top of the pile at the moment. Money might be dirty but it it’s useful, and you can see people’s character when they get too much of it.

She can always organize or participate in something that raises money for a cause as there’s a good tradition of rock/pop/entertainment stars doing this. Geldof’s still alive as I recall along with others who did this over the decades if she needs advice. Lots of needy causes. Lots of people would get on board with this, particularly if it felt more honest than mercenary.

Maybe she donates en masse without notoriety. Some do. Maybe it’s just a machine for her. It is for others (see Floyd, Pink). Ball’s in her court.

> so it's not like Covid vaccine has a provable lessen the symptoms effect.

That's not the result that can be inferred from seeing unvaccinated people having no symptoms. In other words, people having no symptoms without vaccine or even having side effects from the vaccine itself does not disprove the statistic of vaccinated people having lesser symptoms on average.
Yes, I can relate to that. Next to my Linux machines, I use an M1 Mac Mini with macOS, and I eagerly await the day I can install a Linux of my liking on it and run the Mac from there (looking at Asahi Linux's impressive work).

Also, the system update approach of macOS seems quite hostile to slow and/or metered connections.

> Our Amazon journey started in January 2018 when HyperVolt released the first massage gun on the market. We were so careful with this product that we began designing our patented design in February 2019 and launched our first massage gun on Amazon in July 2019

So this guy’s company (I may have missed it, but he doesn’t appear to mention what his own product is called) made a copycat product and went from design to manufacturing to market in 5 months? Sounds like they were just relabeling and repackaging someone else’s product. Hard to shed a tear as a grifter gets scammed by an even more unscrupulous grifter.

Regardless, this shows the dangers of violating one of the golden rules of business: never depend on a single customer. They’ll own all the leverage when negotiating price and terms. Wal-Mart exploited this for years situation for years, pitting vendors against each other and providing and preferring knock-off alternatives (sometimes its own) when available. Now Amazon does the same.

"The conservative radio host Wayne Root claimed without evidence in a tweet shared tens of thousands of times that Hunter Biden's laptop contains videos of him sexually abusing Chinese children."

That's just one article, I remember seeing many YouTube comments and 4chan posts about it, which could suggest they were bots pushing a narrative.

I'm no Musk apologist; I find him quite an unsavory character, in fact. I also think some - if not many - of his initiatives thus far have been wrong. But I do have a sense that he'll turn things around. He's breaking things at breakneck speed (the blue check fiasco happened in what, 2 weeks after coming in?), but also correcting course just as fast, and many of his detractors are not giving him credit for that.

I think in a year or two Twitter might end up a better-governed org and a better product, unless a newcomer splits the market - I am 100% convinced Mastodon ain't it, but maybe Dorsey's new idea...

Anyone else share this sentiment?
Hunter biden laptop story isnt really a right wing view and clearly benefits Biden. There is a performative aspect to banning "extreme" views that certainly domt help Republicans.
How big is the probability that Twitter will implement ActivityPub during the next year or two, and interact with Mastodon natively?
I really tried to analyze my thought process before/during/after seeing the problem, trying to solve it, and then seeing the solution.

It seems to me that a lot of our thought process isn't under fully conscious control. We're pattern-matching machines, and math and logic don't come naturally to us. To apply math or logic, you have to train your brain to look at a problem without any shortcuts. Even then, you sometimes need to look at a problem from another angle. For instance, I think that people who read this problem out loud, slowly, may spot the trick more easily than those who just try to reason about it silently in their minds.

> A healthier starting point is a philosophical and systems examination of transparency, censorship, and how information proliferates, followed by systems and mechanisms that facilitate a favorable outcome.

I mostly agree with this, but the rest of your comment reads to me as "everybody else does it so it's fine", which is exactly the mindset that leads to this conversation not being had. A sensationalist story might lean the narrative one way and might be "out of touch with reality" but it's a much better starting point than nothing.
> it up into "social" policies and "economic" policies.

I understand that inclination but you cannot separate economic and social policy.

Example: consider post-WWII development in the US. The GI Bill gave cheap loans and college education to returning servicement but not if you're black. The rise of the automobile lead to the explosion in suburbs, which became completely car-dependent. These suburbs and the required infrastructure (eg roads) were government subsidized. This allowed some to build up generational wealth.

In building those roads (and the Interstate system) these tended to divide communities along racial lines and in many cases wiped out minority communities.

Further you had redlining.

Once segregation was officially outlawed you had a bunch of communities that became effectively segregated because black people couldn not afford to live there (because restrictive zoning drove up prices) but black people had been denied the ability to build up wealth.

That's an example of what people mean by systemic racism.

Likewise, economic policy creates over-policing and mass incarceration that predominantly affects the poor and economic policy has made sure that black people are disproportionately affected.

> Democrats are a socially very left

I disagree. Biden was the architect of Bill Clinton's 1994 crime bill that ushered in mass incarceration and over-policing shows where Democrats stand: in the same place Republicans are, which is protecting capital and capital owners.

Literally the only reason people accuse Democrats of being very far left is the support of trans people. I would urge people to really examine their feelings here and really ask themselves why they think not being transphobic is an extreme position.

Or, like, Twitter? I mean it's interesting to see the white hot outrage and political concern burning everywhere over 'rich billionaire owns social media platform.'

I mean Zuck must be the devil himself by now then... Or is it Musk's ideological views creating such consternation? In which case, also interesting to see the federal interest.
> The relationship between perceived brightness and physical amount of light is approximately quadratic (~doubling amount of light is perceived as one incremental brightness step), which is called the gamma curve.

The letterhead: "Ofcom: making communications work for everyone" is pretty priceless here.
Your comment is wrong.
Snaps don't actually work that way. Snaps are squashfs images, which imposes the contract of requiring to unmount the old image before mounting the new one. When files are in use, you can't easily unmount. (Yes, you can use a lazy unmount, but bad things happen on the system with those, so it's not a good idea to rely on it!)

I think you're thinking of Flatpaks, which are basically hardlink/reflink farms with symlinks used to control the pointers to the current version (OSTree).

Likewise. It’s scary how easily you can just fall into a phishing trap. I almost gave an attacker my GitHub login due to a (Very very good) phishing email impersonating CircleCI.

The email was really good (not in junk), the domain was close, pixel perfect UI and is just finished a reformat so entering in my feeds again made sense. Unfortunately for them, they sent the email out prematurely because after pressing the button I got a JS error.
An other thing which would be interesting is a 6502 in a modern process, the 6502 had already had such an update in the 8502 (a smaller and less power-hungry 6510). Or possibly a machine-code-compatible version, if the die shots have revealed known issues which could be fixed by redoing the logic.

Or at least an FPGA with a 6502 burned in (like the 65F02) but I'm not sure it would be smaller as i assume the FPGA has a lot more hardware than the 6502 (even needs).
> I find these kinds of comments hard to respond to. I want to respond in a way that's constructive, but it's hard. It's hard because many Republicans are pushing the US in a direction that will harm ...

Just realize you bee-lined straight into partisan politics. Speech policies need to be above that.
You don't know what they need, you don't have any useful information.

The only reason you think they are over staffed is because you don't like the political views of the majority of employees and you disagree with their content moderation policy. That's it and it's so obvious.
This is essentially Spherical Mercator (EPSG:3857), except that instead of meters at the equator, planar distances are scaled so that the Earth's circumference equals 2^32 units (the maximum range of a 32-bit integer). This simplifies indexing, and also allows coordinate operations that cross the Antimeridian to wrap naturally. We chose this projection because it preserves angles and shapes at local scale, and it is already familiar to OpenStreetMap users. There are API methods to convert coordinates back to WGS-84 (degrees longitude/latitude) and obtain distances in meters (scaled based on latitude). For operations for which Mercator is not suitable (such as measuring the exact area of large landmasses), users can re-project the feature geometries using a library like Proj4J.
That congresspeople use insider information gained from sitting on various committees to execute suspiciously-timed trades [1], such as:

-heavy buying of semiconductors in the lead up to passage of the CHIPS act

-mass sell-off by members and their families within the day of the first briefing on the coming COVID policy mandates

-purchase of defense stocks by members who were briefed on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. One member was particularly brazen, purchasing Lockheed Martin a day before the invasion, then tweeting "War can be profitable" in an attempted swipe at media [2]

-regular returns exceeding 100% on companies that directly stand to benefit from policy decisions made by Congress people, on purchases usually executed shortly before public policy votes are held

This is not normal

Ask HN: Why don't you like Dart?
Earlier this year I was looking for a language that was truly cross platform: mobile, desktop, web; across all the major OS's. I was put off by hybrid apps due to (from the outside in) complexity and the huge amount of frameworks; which ones to use? What one is the best?

This is when I became aware of Dart and Flutter. To me it seemed like a no brainer. Truly cross platform with JIT and AOT compilation. Hot reload for development. Just to name a few things.

Since then I've come to realise that whilst Flutter gets a lot of love, Dart is mostly universally dismissed or disliked. In a recent Show HN post [0] about replacing Dart with Closure for Flutter programming I replied to another comment, dismissive of Dart, asking what was so back about Dart [1], this lead to some good discussion about its pros and cons. There's appears to be a push to replace Dart with multiple other languages in relation to Flutter. So, again, what's so bad about Dart?

I thought a dedicated discussion would be good so more people could voice their opinions.

I'm not a full time developer, or what I would consider a developer at all. I just create personal project apps. For me Dart/Flutter is a good work horse for least amount of work most amount of benefit.

...and to a much greater degree then people realize, really. As a simple example, WW2. There where several polls over the decades in Germany which country contributed the most to the fall of Nazi Germany.

In the beginning, it was mostly attributed to Russia (something like 80%) with the USA mostly protecting Europe from getting integrated into Russia after the fall. But over time this opinion has been overturned to being mostly the USA with Russia playing a minor role... And the fact that Russia could've likely just taken over Europe completely has been forgotten entirely.
RHEL is not a bad choice for desktop these days. The desktop is reasonably fresh, basic tasks are well-supported (office, browsing, etc.), and it has even better short-term and long-term hardware and software compatibility.

The RHEL desktop is quite a bit better with RHEL 9 than it was in its predecessors.

I'm not sure why people are so downhearted by this kind of thing. It's well known that anything controversial on Wikipedia is going to have a lot of edit warring and people trying to control a narrative. What Wikipedia is best at is non-controversial topics. And that has always been the case. Even for controversial topics it's honestly surprising how more or less correct the articles tend to be.

Wikipedia is not where you read up on the war crimes that may have or may not have been committed by some country or the views of a politician on immigration. Wikipedia is where you read up on Mars's atmosphere or how solar wind works.
