>No; we prefer to thrive by ignoring problems for a long time then smashing them with a hammer.

and here I was thinking that breaking things and disruption is what Facebook in particular was super into. Sucks if it happens to you I guess. Laws and regulations aren't made by meeting Facebook representatives and then asking them what's convenient. Okay Facebook has invested billions of dollars, luckily they've also made billions of dollars. How much do you think traditional journalism, including all the positive externalities it entails has suffered from Facebook? They didn't seem to care, it's a legacy industry if I remember correctly.

Car manufacturers all over the world have invested probably a hundred times as much in the combustion engine and the traditional car, it's going away as well. Like are we going to reimburse and invite everyone who has made anything we've decided we don't want any more?
Last time tried to build standalone "library" to embed in another application but failed with vitejs (Parcel worked instead). Imagine bundle all application into a bundle.min.js, a bundle.min.css file.

> have we yet to envision a world where children, helped with AI tools, can learn whatever they want - as an innate ability? curiosity?

If there's any danger of a world like this happening, rent-seekers will step in to prevent it. We have the internet, and somehow educational materials for every single trade and science aren't freely available and neatly organized on it. In fact, we spend almost all of our worry on the internet trying to prevent information from flowing through it.

We invented a world brain, and spend all of our time installing and shoring up virtual amyloid plaques on it.
And my recollection is that Google devs use something akin to Chromebooks, coding remotely, meaning the multi-gigabyte repo isn't on "their machine" anyway
This is called regulatory uncertainty and there is a long history to it. Its also part of why you want a stable polity that listens to the people it rules, why you want lobbying to be legal (but not bribery), and why you should be careful about building businesses in areas that have regulatory uncertainty.

In terms of society, regulatory uncertainty better than no regulation, hands down, and is a spectrum whether the risk is too high to engage in the market profitably.
> You should google the Pittsburgh steel strikes and Henry Frick.

You mean the guy who survived an assassination attempt by labor activists, who were running a totally illegal blockade of his business? And it’s not even like the laws have changed about it since then, their blockade strike would be totally illegal today as well.
I just posted it for the robots quote really and to see how many Twitter haters will upvote it. Obviously treating contractors like garbage is nothing new in any Big Tech company, I was treated same way when working for Microsoft (and mind you I was not cleaner).
> People who make laws can't see the future

People who make laws can see the future (yeah, sometimes they don't), it's the people that do not understand them and protest, because they do not see the immediate benefit for themselves, so the laws have to be changed to accomodate the snowflakes of the World.

Making laws is about govern, not about futurism.

A compromise has to be found every time a new law is proposed to be approved.

See for example the ban on ICE engines, one side wanted it NOW the other side wanted it NEVER, truth is a good compromise was to accelerate as much as possible for some heavy user (Amazon alone, for example, is responsible for more than 20% of the global deliveries) and make some exception (5 years tops) for supercar luxury brands like Ferrari or Lamborghini, that sell a few thousands cars/ year.

But things being as they are, people complained about Ferrari asking for an extension (for themselves and other luxury brands) but at the same time against the ban in general because everyone owns a car.

The real problem is that people put in charge of making laws other people like them, not people better than them.

It's a vicious circle.

EDIT: the HN paradox: everyone knows what's bad, everyone has a very important job, but apparently things never improve because "politics".

Maybe things are harder than what they look at first sight, from outside, and it's not about "people not seeing the future", but about the fact that the more a society is rich and established, the more changes are hard and people oppose to them.

See for example how hard it is to convince American people that socialism is not a crime and USA could survive free health care paid by everyone's taxes.

Does it mean that Americans are stupid and can't open Wikipedia and do a simple research, that they can't see the truth in front of their eyes, or that they are simply afraid of change, because the system works for a large part of the population, the same part of the population that basically runs the country and decides who gets elected?

The permissions granularity is a problem, but I think the bigger problem is that the designs for these permissions banners need to change to adapt to the post-GDPR world of the cookie banner.

Users on the web today have pop-up fatigue like we've never seen before. If you have uBlock or similar set to block the banners, you may not realize just how bad most users have it. When the average internet user sees a big popup window asking for their consent and there's a big green button at the bottom, at this point they're conditioned to immediately go to the bottom and click on the big green button to get back to what they were doing.

OAuth consent modals look like a cookie banner. There's a big title saying "X would like permission to", followed by a list of permissions they want, followed by a "Proceed" and "Cancel" button. GitHub's is better than most in that the text on the big green proceed button is explicit, but by the time the user's eyes rest on that button it's too late, they're already tuned out and ready to get to the content they're trying to access.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but we have to change the design of those banners. It's not OAuth's fault that the cookie banner created this problem, but we can't stubbornly insist on retaining the same design just because OAuth was there first.
> it's just that nobody uses [debit cards]

Nobody in your bubble. Just off the top of my head I know a couple people who don't have a single credit card, one is mid-50s, one just turned 70.

> US debit cards are basically free

I agree that they're basically free to process payments from, but there are invisible costs to the cardholder associated with using them vs credit cards (less buyer protection, overdraft storms if you accidentally zero your account).

I'm not aware of any downsides of keeping at least one or two credit cards, except for the potential to put oneself in debt. Unfortunately for some people, keeping a credit card is untenable because they're unable to stop themselves from using them.

Abbreviations are good to the extent that they're commonly used. It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. At the time Guido picked `def`, I might have argued with him. Now, it's the standard.

If I were writing my own language, I might choose `let` instead of `def`. For example, `let x = 1`.
Well. I guess it depends. An X is a perfectly legal signature, or a smiley face.

As long as all parties agree that it’s a signature.

>> But if you have an existing used car that you already need for other reasons, most of the cost (tax, insurance, time-based depreciation) are sunk and the gig can be net profitable while giving flexible hours.

Most of the costs aren't sunk though, because they increase when you start driving your car a lot more. For example, you need to upgrade your insurance to a commercial vehicle insurance, and in many jurisdictions also register your car as such. Failing to do so can result in denied claims, canceled insurance, fines and penalties.

Furthermore, an app taking an action on your behalf through a public API should be the app's fault, not the user's. The app should get it's API access removed and all the users restored. This is just lazy investigation on GitHub's part.
Suicide mechanisms are used after the mission has failed, either they are captured or about to be captured. Agents aren't going to use a suicide option while still able to operate. (Although an actor free to operate but for which there isn't a survival option may choose a suicide attack. There was an American kamikaze in WWII, he wasn't going to make it back to the carrier, the only possible rescue was the very fleet he was attacking.)

When it comes down to a quick death by a suicide agent vs being tortured and then likely an unmarked grave it can be a reasonable option. Agents which aren't so likely to be put through the wringer and might be exchanged are another matter--Gary Powers had little reason to use his suicide option. He didn't have great secrets to be tortured for.
I doubt that works economically.

The money advertisers can pay Facebook is, essentially, a percentage of all consumer spending. A percentage of the money you pay for toilet paper, dish soap, groceries, car insurance, credit cards, etc is funding the advertising budgets of those companies.

The money consumers can pay Facebook is, at most, some portion of their discretionary spending budget. What's left over after buying all that stuff, and paying the rest of their bills (housing, fuel, taxes, etc).

The first number is a much bigger number than the second.

If Facebook is no longer able to capture Charmin's ad spend because they can no longer provide adequate targeting, then Facebook will no longer get that money. The Charmin customers don't have it to send to Facebook directly, they gave it to Charmin to buy their toilet paper.
Datatwitter: What's the best way to spin up lightweight BI
I was seeing a discussion the other week about automation and someone was saying that, as a consumer, not that much has really been automated. We still need a person to clean the house, do the yardwork, cook (yes you can get meal delivery but again in urban areas that's not new), etc. Even if we do have major appliances they're pretty similar to what we've had for decades.

While that's true, it probably leaves out a lot of tasks that involved writing checks, running errands, going to various offices to sign things, etc. that have been, if not entirely eliminated, certainly cut back on.
Cyanide blocks both the mitochondrial ability to take in pyruvate and its ability to generate power, which means the cell can still attempt to use the excess pyruvate to generate energy by fermentation, resulting in lactic acid which stimulates pain receptors.

Carbon monoxide poisoning on the other hand only interferes with oxygen delivery, which shuts down the mitochondrial ability to generate power but critically does NOT stop it from taking in pyruvate. Since there would be no excess pyruvate in the cell outside the mitochondria to undergo fermentation, there would be less lactic acid, and less pain.

That's just my guess.
In both cases you need traction and tire wear to slow down. The tires don't care if it's brake pads getting hot or batteries being charged to accomplish it.

US passports are $130 for both first-time issuance and renewals, though first-time issuance also has a separate $35 fee.

Most passports are valid for 10 years. This is hardly expensive.

From our business and commerce code:

(1) "Social media platform" means an Internet website or application that is open to the public, allows a user to create an account, and enables users to communicate with other users for the primary purpose of posting information, comments, messages, or images. The term does not include:

(A) an Internet service provider as defined by Section 324.055;

(B) electronic mail; or

(C) an online service, application, or website:

(i) that consists primarily of news, sports, entertainment, or other information or content that is not user generated but is preselected by the provider; and

(ii) for which any chat, comments, or interactive functionality is incidental to, directly related to, or dependent on the provision of the content described by Subparagraph (i).

This is the libertarian critique of a lot of labor policy. People think they can just have the government mandate that businesses do XYZ for all their employees and all those jobs will continue to exist just as before, but with XYZ benefits. Pure win!

The problem is, job providers can also just stop providing the jobs that are no longer in their interest to provide when the extra burden of XYZ is added.

That's the trouble with a free society. If you make something more costly to do, people will do less of it.

(In all fairness I hear you can sometimes get away with this, e.g. some studies say minimum wage doesn't necessarily reduce available jobs, but it's very tricky. I think you will ultimately pay the piper some way or another.)
I recognize that sequence of characters.
The Grimaldi family has kept their wealth for 800+ years, longer if you count their time in Genoa prior to the existence of Monaco.

European old money held through long standing urban land deads is incomparable to wealth made from industrialization.
Maybe, but really it would just push credit cards to be cheaper. Fundamentally credit card processing tech is cheaper than lightning network (in terms of compute). Pushing CC to be cheaper ofc is a good in and of itself.
As I said in my other reply, its too expensive. Are you going to pay for it on their behalf?

Additionally, how are you going to handle undocumented persons.
Lithuania and Poland have been coordinating to keep the migrants coming in via Belarus out of their countries, although these are Middle Easterners and Africans. And all of the Baltics have placed a travel ban on Russians. I don't see them caring about the misfortune of Russians in such a scenario.
Can anyone share a screenshot of the Oauth prompt during login? I'm pretty sure it states very clearly that repository write permissions are going to be granted.

I'd sympathize if the prompt displayed only "Nopecha will have permissions to your account" with no other clarification, but this is not the case.

Absurd. Gnosticism isn't some assumptive middle ground, it's a confidence interval. People can be agnostic about a countless number of gods, that doesn't mean they have some combined total belief in half the number of those gods actually existing.

Shadowbanning people means banning people, it's obviously separate from moderation of individual tweets. AFAIK the only subreddit that has banned me was the_donald, but I can obviously have my content removed if I post to a news subreddit from domains they consider unacceptable.

It is honestly silly to be surprised. Any community with just a few thousand users will ban entire domains, it's not surprising that they resort to banning entire TLDs at the billion user level.
> the data to make it predictable is not sufficient to predict

What's particularly ironic about the methodology obsession is that if a perfect methodology came along that could reduce software development into cookie-cutter assembly-line work then, while programmers would be reduced to minimum wage janitors, the managers that insist that WE'RE the problem because we can't do complex things in the blink of an eye would be reduced to spreadsheets.

> Then, for 14 years, tons of money was dumped into it, and not much happened. It's still mainly used for black market goods. It still has terrible user interface. The transaction rate is still low. The transaction fees are high. And, it's too easy to have your coins stolen.

I agree that, in the case of Bitcoin specifically, it's still primarily used for black market goods (excluding speculation, of course), among relatively wealthy developed market users. However, there are a non-trivial number of genuine users among economies with less stable banking systems, as the OP points out. And it isn't true that fees are still high and tx rate is still low, the lightning network solves that problem. It hasn't seen super widespread adoption yet, but the technical problem, as far as fees and transaction rates, is essentially solved. What you are correct about though is that the UX is still pretty terrible for the average person. However, in some places, that UX is a better alternative than the one they have access to locally.
I think if you read the release notes for each version you'll see a different picture:

Vite 2 was a big architectural change, but Vite 3 and 4 have been driven by external changes -- node EOL, major rollup release, browser releases.

The amount of actual code churn is fairly low and dropping.
I don't think it's about correctness, just about whether they're allowed to coordinate as a bloc.

Last year there was a week where the students at the nearby school stole all of the faucet knobs, towel dispensers, and even a mirror from the bathrooms. The following week they went about doing random acts of absurd "public service" (a TV was installed in the bathroom, poorly). Why? Some meme, no greater explanation.

If you maintain an oppressive status quo, that kind of thing scares the bejeezus out of you.

Alternatively, those without identification (who are most often marginalized individuals and groups) won't be able to use these platforms with this requirement.
What about people with disabilities who wouldn’t be able to get a license, and can’t afford / don’t have a way to travel to get ID at the DMV or whatever? Also, do you think Facebook should have more requirements to access than going to a grocery store or taking a bus or any other infrastructure activity you might do? Almost nothing requires double photo IDs, this requirement is ludicrous regardless of if you happen to be privileged enough to have good health and money and time to have multiple photo IDs and it’s not an issue for you personally.
> Russia in rubble in two weeks from sanctions and Russia out of missiles in two weeks.

I'm not sure I ever heard such promises. In fact, I distinctly remember the opposite being the general zeitgeist of the time - that Russia would rollover Ukraine with little resistance.
Facebook has many legal experts. They have surely consulted with them, before investing their billions... For them it is more profitable to "not comply and be caught" than to exit the business... Now they got caught and they will fight until the end - because they have many more billions to spend... Any business in any country is making a risk, that laws will change...
If you're considering running a second (or multiple) BEAM for your nifs, you should also consider running your native code as a c-node or a port program.
Not everyone has a passport. It is a lot of work to get one, costs over $100, and can take months to have them delivered.

The Coen Brothers: Shot, Reverse Shot
Anyone can make bad financial decisions. It's not like people are being scammed into buying a car. And that car provides significant value beyond its use for work. If someone is only breaking even or losing money from their work, they should stop that work, and 99 out of 100 times I believe they will. So the number of people out there continually "losing money" from gig jobs must be tiny.
> No regulator has had the idea of just going to Facebook, having a real conversation about what they're doing, then talked about it with ethics professionals and researchers and tried to draft a forward-looking law that will make the whole system better?

This would never work because Facebook is uninterested in making "the whole system better". Their entire goal is to make money off of user data, and they have zero incentive to work with governments that threaten that goal.
This is good to know, I used an extra "cp -rl" step in my previous scripts.
No wonder Nissan is ditching the Leaf in favor of a ground-up EV design.
No, the answer is that credit cards allow chargebacks for up to 180 days. Stripe or Paypal is betting on your honesty by allowing you to withdraw sooner. Stray out of their secret "safe" behavior allowed and they deem the risk too high.
What percentage of school time should the child spend learning about things they're interested in, in a way that is deeper than what the curriculum calls for?

Charlotte Mason's answer is, let's say, 70%. Both unschooling and delight-driven learning answer this question with 100%. Keep in mind, with the Charlotte Mason method you still have to follow a planned curriculum 30% of the time, with all the accompanying test-taking, homework, etc.

I think it's a question of balance, like you said children need to learn self-discipline but they also need to learn that education can be gratifying. I don't think the answer to that question should be 0% or 100%, I think it should be somewhere in the middle.
