I believe that the government is encouraging media monopolies in the US. It's obviously infinitely easier to work with a few dependent giant media corps than trying to play a bunch of competitive outlets against each other to get your message out. You can literally just flood the few giant media companies with your own staff; just route their government paycheck through Raytheon (as a "consultant") or promise them they'll be able to retire from media to a lazy job in higher education as the Harriet Foundation Endowment Chair at the Council for Democratic Innovation at Harvard. Internet media companies are filling up with ex-intelligence agency employees.
Practically speaking it doesn't really eliminate the need for a radio system entirely, since you would still want a control interface that isn't dependent on such a sensitive technology (ie you would want to be able to fix the satellite if some software or tracking error makes it unable to accurately target a Starlink satellite).

What this does mean is that the bandwidth restrictions for transmitting larger amounts of data become a bit looser and become much harder for adversaries to detect and track.
Argos here in the UK can. Same day delivery which is reliable (unlike amazon!) or you can actually go and pick stuff up usually immediately at actual retail stores. And it's mostly the same price as Amazon now as well.
I was wondering if that was possible actually. Guess that's the answer.
Ask HN: Do you use an Amazon fake review checker?
It’s well known that Amazon has a fake review problem. A few years back, Fakespot emerged to address that problem. It analyzes reviews and generates a letter grade for its estimation of how many are fake. After some time, I started hearing that Fakespot had either been compromised, gamed by sellers, or just stopped working. It still exists, but I stopped using it.

I switched to ReviewMeta, which seemed to work better. Granted, these are just algorithms, they don’t actually know which reviews are fake, but I like that it gives me some insight into otherwise inscrutable sellers.

However, lately ReviewMeta’s site has been going down frequently. And worse, it now says almost every single thing I check is free of fake reviews… which is basically impossible and means it’s likely also no longer effective.

So, do you use a fake review checker, and which one?

Signups are currently 50k+ people a day, and probably about half of the people I follow on Mastodon are people of a totally non-technical background. It may feel high effort to people, but it's not something which requires any more technical understanding than getting past the "what the heck is an instance?" issue, and I've seen people get comfortable on Mastodon before even understanding that and then had it click once they there.

That said, the proportion of people making the move who also want to set up a crossposter might well be much more technically inclined.

> This also doesn’t take into account risk analysis. Extreme likelihood of contracting a highly contagious disease with unknown severity and unknown long-term effects versus the unlikelihood of a blood cloth from Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine. Obviously any casual analysis would show that you’d get the vaccine.

There is a saying in aviation: if it hasn't been out five years you're a test pilot. How did you calculate the unknowns of using a vaccine never deployed widely in humans?

In addition there are other ways to avoid the virus, myself I moved to a less populated area. My interactions in public were limited to one about 3 people. Never personally contracted covid until about two months ago. In addition pretty early on it was obvious the high risks were to the obese and elderly. You could have prioritized a more healthy lifestyle.

The risk calculation for someone under about sixty doesn't seem that straight forward, and hedges primarily on how scared you are of the virus vs an industry that routinely kills it's customers and lies about it.
> Infamously, Twitter did not even remove reported CSAM until after Musk purchased the company and fired the director of Trust and Safety

Source on this?

Anecdotally, the reaction of everyone I know working in law enforcement to the Musk purchase and subsequent layoffs was "this is going to make it infinitely more difficult to get CSAM taken down from Twitter".

> That's how I lean too. I'm maybe just more leery of the long term consequences of censorship and proscribed ideas. I think they are ultimately poisonous.

Over the years, I figured that in practice pretty much nobody is truly willing to commit absolutely to their ideals. Everyone has a breaking point where if they have bad enough consequences, ideals will be discarded.

Musk is showing this on Twitter right now.

And I think most any sane person would do the same, because unyielding commitment can trivially be taken advantage of. Eg, if you open up your house to absolutely everyone, and hold steadfast when people start punching holes in the walls, eventually you won't have a house to offer anymore.

> How would you write that policy for wikimedia, so your editors would know which articles could link to the website they describe, and which could not?

That highly depends on my position, the leadership structure, the state of the organization, and so on. As per the above I have some moral flexibility and will compromise somewhat for the greater good.
This strikes home for me. The witty jokes I make to isolate myself from a world I often can make no sense of. The isolation that hides insecurities and the lack of courage to take leaps of faith and participate in an imperfect society rather than hang at the periphery and judge it.

Whatever the reasons/excuses - genetics, upbringing, current social trends towards individualism, whatever - I can find no solution though. Whenever I force myself to get involved I end up disilusioned and eventually angry. Impotence describes it perfectly.

So in the end one must asume that whatever is lacking, be it wisdom or faith, or humblesness, it really is lacking and preventing me from making any significant impact. And being only clever is similar to being a clown.
> I'm not sure "hallucination" is the right word. I've seen it referred to as "stochastic parroting" elsewhere, and that probably gives more insight into what is happening.

It may give more insight, but it seems to me that hallucination is very similar: the brain completing some incomplete/random data to what it thinks is plausible and/or desirable.

I think the thrust of your argument is really the only meaningful story here, but I don’t think it’s an especially good example of it. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that influential people and orgs have more direct lines into channels of influence.

Sigh, this is why discussing politics with Americans gets exhausting. It's difficult to get a serious answer out of someone, because all they really care about deep down is making their party look good and the other party look bad.

So often they'll reach for "it's different when my party does it because the other party are nazis/communists/russians/pedophiles/etc." It's just so tiresome and anyone outside the circus can see how unproductive it all is, but people in the thick of it really do see it as Marvel vs Thanos.
There are different flavors of not wanting to be a manager.

The good kind Jobs refers to are people who see the necessity and that no one is doing it (or doing it well). They aren't the kind of people who don't understand people and fall into the trap of simply controlling and micro-managing people.

Let me give you an example of the bad kind. Google's SWE ladder goes all the say from L3 (new grad) to L9 (ignoring exceptions like Google Fellow and execs). There is an expectation of growth from L3 to L5 (Senior SWE). There is a lot of reward if you can get promoted to L6 (Staff SWE) but it is incredibly difficult. It requires a lot of luck (eg being on the right project that doesn't get cancelled). Getting to L6 now is much harder than it was 10-15 years ago.

One of the things Ruth Porat did when she came in was to control costs by reducing the promotion target percentage because it wasn't visible to people (there was a leaked memo). All promo candidates go to committee and effectively get stack ranked across committees. There is a quota ("target percentage") of who gets promoted. This creates a backlog and raises the bar for getting promoted. It gives more time for your impact to dissipate or your project to get cancelled (which was your promotion case).

Compare this to getting promoted as a manager. Your manager level (M0 to M2, which is the same level as L5 to L7) is effectively a function of your head count with the added requirement that M2 requires you to have managers as reports. So if you're an M0 (which is rare), getting to M1 is typically as easy as getting to 10-15 reports (as long as you don't screw up so badly).

So there is a breed of SWEs that bridge these worlds. They're half an IC and half an EM in the hopes that this gets them over the line.

In my experience, these managers were generally the absolute worst. They had no interest in ever being a amanager and were just ticking a box for an L6 promotion case. Career development tended to be zero. Everything was seen through the lens of what helped them get promoted. If that means throwing someone under the bus, so be it.

I think one of the best things Facebook did was they effectively didn't allow this. Having reports as an IC generally wasn't allowed. Being an L5 with reports was mostly not allowed. I mean there were some exceptions in some orgs and for some people but it was exceedingly rare. You'd see people ask "why can't I be a manager at L5?" and you heavily suspected the main motivator for this question was an inability to get promoted to L6 as a SWE.
I'm not really following this part:

"When we deeply researched this, we f"ound that this person hijacked his listing with a dummy seller account and offered 95% off on Facebook groups, and he sold over 5–6K every day for a week ( this is our estimate based on Jungle Scout, Helium10, and his best seller rank).

But since his offer was fulfilled by the merchant, this dummy seller account didn’t ship any massage guns to buyers, but he still got the best seller badge, so he activated his real FBA ( fulfilled by Amazon ) offer on the main account."

Could somebody rephrase this for me in clearer language?
That would be difficult to pull off without collusion with an insider doing an end run around the support platform. The support platform is heavily locked down (to a degree I've never seen with other retailers) and surveilled.

> Innocent until proven guilty. And again, the laptop is meaningless.

Innocent until proven guilty doesn’t mean the public cannot discuss the matter or present it’s opinion on the legality.

The laptop isn’t meaningless. It’s a data dump of evidence of guilt. Everything from brandishing an illegally obtained firearm while under the influence of narcotics to admitting to taking a cut of deals on behalf of his father (“10% for the big guy”).

> Hunter is being investigated by the FBI. If the house wants to spend it’s time investigating a single individual fine I guess.

The House absolutely should look into these allegations. Because till now nobody had taken them seriously.

> But if influence of someone not in office being investigated is going to open the door wide to Trump and his kids.

The Trump hate is so strong that the left cannot even admit an investigation of corruption should be done into a meth addict who was clearly selling influence to his father without some kind of whataboutism.

If there was actual Trump corruption, him and his whole family would be in prison by now. They’ve been investigating him non stop since 2015. But they haven’t found anything worthy of charges.

Realist: I wonder how long the military has been playing with such shapes and if that explains the flying saucer phenomena of the 1950s UFO mania.

Conspiracist: I guess they’ve finally started to figure out how the flying saucers that crashed in the 50s worked and are incorporating them slowly into designs to hide the alien influence.

The realist interpretation seems more sane but it wouldn’t surprise me if the conspiratorial interpretation is bouncing around corners of the internet.

The article obliquely addresses this. They mention that the company could agree to a 24% pay raise (over time) because using they had already reduced employment by 30%. It's still a net positive.

What they can't do is reduce staffing further if they're already operating with a skeleton crew, which is what additional time off would do. This appears to be one of those cases where efficiency and resilience in a system are at odds.

And browsers, too, are only semi-reliable at restoring any sort of more complex page with significant dynamic contents, because that requires the cooperation of the website itself and in practice relying on that is a crapshoot.
Part of the foreign STEM graduate degree phenomenon — not all of it — is that foreign students bring in more money to universities. This is one reason why universities were worried about the sky falling during the pandemic, because they wouldn't be able to fill their seats due to the foreign student flow being cutoff, and even if they did refill the seats with domestic students, it wouldn't be at the same net 'profit" level in many cases, as they usually end up paying more in net tuition per credit.

>I wonder how much of it is also due to technologies making this possible. The centralisation of a huge chunk of communications via a few massive actors makes this kind ideas enforceable.

At the time of the US revolution most communication was centralised in the postal service, monitored by the British. That's one of the reasons for the first amendment.
Ugh, it's like we are living on a different planet. SW engs seem to be now commoditized, all the money and hiring is in the ML space. It's fairly straightforward to get a 2x rate as a ML eng compared to one would get as a fullstack SW eng.
TL;DW: the "cloud" that everyone is up in arms about is just a rendezvous/temporary storage for mobile notifications.

Facial recognition identifiers are not uploaded if you turn the facial recognition feature off. Identifiers are not known to correlate across accounts, and so potentially obfuscate instead of correlate.

This is likely a reasonably private system that any one of us could have designed. It all comes down to the retention policy (which is not known).
Britain? All major media outlets and social network platforms worldwide now have established censorship as "the new normal".

The only mainstream platform now setting itself up to become the exception to this is the one platform that since a few weeks gets consistently attacked by the establishment: Twitter.
> why does the CCP not simply regulate them using the same rules as is uses for homegrown companies like TikTok?

They do, which is why TikTok is blocked. Only Douyin, a separate content silo with shared codebase, is allowed to operate. Products by American companies like Facebook or Google Search that are now blocked used to censor the content they made available in China, but then stopped.

Other products by American companies, like Microsoft's Bing and Google Ads, continue to censor and continue to operate.

People on the English-speaking internet often seem to think that American companies' difficulties operating in China stem from them being specially and unfairly singled out, but the thing is that Chinese companies operating in China have to fight the same obstacles. And the majority of companies trying to make it big in China are Chinese, so they bear the brunt of the burden.

When a company building a platform for user-generated content gets more users and more content, that would usually be something for them to celebrate, but in China it also means they need to spend more resources censoring content to remove everything that might displease the government.

E.g. HelloTalk, a language-exchange app made by a Chinese company, restricted their Chinese users' accounts in 2020, most likely because some were using the app to talk about censored topics: https://www.reddit.com/r/languagelearning/comments/glf14q/wh...

Other Chinese companies abandon the Chinese market completely and focus on the rest of the world while blocking Chinese users from accessing their product so they don't have to fear getting shut down by the government over lacking censorship.
For some it's a way to have a foot both places until they feel secure enough about moving over without losing a lot of connections and engagement.

It'll change. More and more people (and I see it myself too) report far higher engagement even with far fewer followers on Mastodon - our Twitter accounts have acccumulated so much dross and the Twitter algorithm also means a lot of people simply won't see your stuff even if they follow you (as I've run Fedifinder [1] and connected to people I follow on Mastodon, I've many times realised they're someone I haven't seen tweets from in ages, likely because they're people I used to enjoy reading the tweets of but rarely liked or commented on, and so they gradually just fell off my feed).

A lot of the people I follow on Twitter even with quite significant following appears to be tweeting less and less and focusing more and more of their time on Mastodon. Of course this will differ greatly for different interests and demographics.

This is cool but are there any benefits to this over Obsidian other than it’s open source?
It’s useful to read what the media actually wrote at the time rather than how Republicans portray it. I’ve included a number of links below but the main thing which is obvious is that coverage was dominated by the questions of authenticity and especially the challenges of not having a forensic trail which wasn’t tainted by Giuliani, who was so unreliable that even Fox News warned reporters not go trust him. A lot of that coverage also focused on how Fox and the WSJ passed on the story because they couldn’t verify key details, or how the Post’s own journalists had reservations because they couldn’t verify details such as whether an email ever got a reply or particular meetings actually happened. Years later, the story remains the same: some relatively boring details have been confirmed but nothing explosive has been found and evidence of tampering likely means that if something was buried in there Giuliani would have helped Hunter Biden by tainting the evidence to the point that it wouldn’t stand up in court.

The tech angle was just an excuse. The real reason was to protect old European money scared by the newcomers.
Just a note for other readers who are not quite so far down the rabbit hole: no, it wasn’t obvious that all or even most or even just the “relevant” bits of the laptop contents are authentic, and it’s still not known today.

Some emails have been verified, many others have not been, and we still don’t know the origin of the laptop itself. Allegedly Hunter handed it to a blind computer repair man (no video!) and said “I am Hunter Biden.”
For my daily browsing I use Firefox with an Extension called Sidebery (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidebery/). The ability to logically sort tabs (by default by the tab they were opened from) makes it much much easier dealing with a lot of tabs.

My primary (but not only) use case is researching something and opening every relevant-seeming result in a new tab, afterwards closing the ones that seem the least relevant and keeping the still-open ones around for reference. Then when I'm doing something else (in which the open tabs aren't immediately relevant anymore, but may become so at any time), I can collapse the tree and focus on whatever else I'm doing. Should I then decide that sub-tree isn't relevant anymore, I can close all of the contained tabs at once.

I can't really work with a browser that doesn't have this now. It's so convenient and natural.
> Worse, this isn’t even intentional.

Of course it is intentional. It's about manipulating the population. It's simply about the control of the people.
Get a PhD in ML if you are serious, otherwise all you'll be doing is data engineering/cleaning. Eventually, take at least online Stanford grad courses for credit to have some credibility and to be able to stand out.
