In the early 00s forums dealt with “trolls” as we labeled them. Moderation was used to keep things on topic and deal with people who did not add to the community, made threats and really made being a moderator annoying. Total free speech gives you 4chan or kiwi farms. There needs to be a balance of content moderation to keep off literal hate speech and threats to prevent that. Twitter would not be a billion+ dollar company with out moderation. So if Elon wants to make the process more open I am all for that but really any one who has dealt with the cesspool forums and social networks can become knows content moderation is needed and moderators are human in the end. Sometimes you simply can’t have a conversation with a troll to correct the behavior.
Good (Edit) point! It's good that the web accepts dead links by design, we can't expect perfection from our distributed information, but it seems that the bitrot of information is too high compared to the information storage technologies available.

2 spinning rust drive can store the library of congress. ~ 2,000 drives would store the web (1). How many millions of these drives get manufactured per year? Our technology systems are failing us - all those words are being lost, like tears in rain.

(1)Back of the envelope estimation:
https://www.worldwidewebsize.com/ ~ estimates 50 billion websites, with some estimates ~ 6 pages of information per website. Let's say 1mb per page on average. So ~2,000 drives would store the entire web.
I personally think of it as a pure human need to somehow feel superior to their peers. Sure, they have the same amount of money, but are how did they get them and can we make their status lower ( and at the same time ours higher ) by pointing to that. The in-group/out-group dynamic is at play for everyone including apparently people, who have a lot of money. If I was a more charitable person, I would say that is a good thing. It means they are still connected to the human race.

Note. By rich here I am talking upwards of 100MM although it would appear B would soon be replacing M as the place to be money-wise in terms of wealth recognition.
> In practice, the longer a language has been around and the more likely it is to stick around.

I think this is called the Lindy effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect

> The Lindy effect is a theorized phenomenon by which the future life expectancy of some non-perishable things, like a technology or an idea, is proportional to their current age. Thus, the Lindy effect proposes the longer a period something has survived to exist or be used in the present, the longer its remaining life expectancy.

Obviously you don’t order it. You play up the cruelty of the enemy tortourers. This probably is not hard, every secret service probably have enough nightmare fuel on hand to do if they want to. And then you provide the means and let your agent know they can use it uppon capture.
Well said, I wasn't sure how to communicate it like you have. Any time it is anyone vs a megacorp HN comes out siding with the little guy, but here, vs Microsoft of all people, the original evil-tech, they are blaming the little guy.

I've been an embedded developer for decades and while I have heard of oauth, and I'm a bit wary of "sign in with X", I really have no idea what oauth or oidc are and expecting such broad and poorly named permission categories to be understood by average GitHub users is unreasonable.

It is a common problem for identity providers and their users that they do not have a strict definition of claims aside from a generic read/write.

Otherwise the user would get a giant prompt upon first use about which claims are needed to proceed. If that takes hold, people will just click away the message and third party logon would be as vulnerable to phishing than conventional logins.

Otherwise it is nice to have an API that almost can do anything. I think this is the strategy of GitHub, to provide a service beyond the user login and also serve as infrastructure.

So it's 30% charged by Apple with monopoly and no possibility to use something else vs 8% charged by Stripe. And you can also switch to anything else. Sure, it's more work than Apple, but freedom is also more work than being told what to do and how to live.
The video title is based on real sentiment from people in Taiwan. Asianometry is a treasure trove of easily accessible information on semi-conductor manufacturing, and business in Asia. I highly suggest you watch the video before passing judgement. Asianometry videos are no nonesense, no filler, and very eloquently explain current and past events and businesses.

Speaking of shoehorning things, it doesn't look particularly "Open" to me that website owners are free to pick a limited number of authenticating authorities, instead of letting the user to pick their own.

(Imagine if e-mail adresses were considered "invalid" in forms if not from Gmail or Outlook !)

It was especially bad with last years Advent of Code, where going through OpenID (or was it OAuth ?) was the ONLY way to join, and with only 3 options listed, none of which I wanted to use !

Read HN through Serializer.io, HN homepage is heavily brigaded for years already, completely unusable full of nonsense. You would be better off even reading TOP 24 hours posts through besthackernews.herokuapp.com though I prefer chronological order at Serializer to see new items and it can also sync through unique URL across devices
I suspect the vast majority only read HN, some comment, and a much smaller number actively vote in new, and an even smaller number vote on individual comments absent a slapfight in the comments.

I found my participation got more... contentious when I started voting and submitting, not just occasionally commenting.

I mentioned during my Wikipedia privacy engineer interview a few years ago that I think many sites have a false promise of wanting feedback and HN is a great example.

(I told Wikimedia that if hired, I'd implement a dot onion on their site to reduce the load on exit nodes plus help their users avoid the chilling effects they've discussed on the policy side and I think HN should as well.)

For context, I had to temporarily abandon this nym for years after I was physically assaulted in the midst of taking a break from an OSCP study session to engage in some legally protected free expression... that librarian no longer works for that township, but dear lord -- when it comes to so called "free speech" some folks seem to only support it when it's being used to increase harm to vulnerable people or line their pockets.

Now that I understand the guidelines, I find HN to be what Slashdot strived to be though obviously the Eternal September 11th of folks showing up to demand an end to encryption and/or democract (the two are intertwined) or relentlessly argue until you break some rule of decorum will always be an issue.

I pay 15% fees because of a very low subscription fee ($2.50).

It's literally in the same thread!

I guess you're reading this and saying that "indirect" violations are the same thing as direct, i.e., defined, violations? Is that what's happening? People downvoting me are being absolute pedants about the definition of "shadow banning," and then just give this part a pass and say it's fine?

I guess this is the world we live in now, in every respect. There's so much STUFF going on, and so much written about the stuff, that people can choose to focus on whichever half they want, and find plenty to support their position. But I still live in a world where the general IDEA is the main thing, and Twitter has been shown to do things outside of their stated policy. And, sure, as someone else pointed out, they're allowed to do whatever they want. But they didn't have to hedge and lie about it.
I know what you're saying but it is regrettable. The problem lies with people who want stuff for absolutely nothing, even if it's valuable to their work. Short-termism at work.
Am I missing something, why wouldn't a non-homogeneous array literal pass?

The sound effects are not loud though, and you don't have to look at the video to get the information. Some zooms aren't the kind of visual where "eyes bleeding" is a hyperbole of the actual problem, either.

There are valid criticisms that can be made, but they are different from the criticisms joe_the_user actually made.

Idk about the propaganda, but the US is really really bad at waging war. The US just has a ton of resources and willingness to spend outsized amount of budget on "defense."
Why are they charging you for something that doesn’t exist? Is it a mistake on their end?
That's false. Perhaps the author would not have bothered to write the article without securing economic compensation of some form, but advertisement is not the only possibility.
> Fintech space is a big joke.

Almost as if all the "meatspace banking" regulations had their purpose, born out of decades of experience with the many, MANY, M A N Y weird edge cases that crop up sooner or later.

Not to say that the meatspace regulations and practices are fine (from an European POV, the fact y'all still use literal paper cheques instead of bank transfers and credit cards instead of direct debit because consumer protection is way easier on CCs), but still... it's amazing none of the fintechs ever really got hit hard by regulation agencies despite the continuous complaints.
The project is fair use due to not benefitting anybody financially, hence contributions in theory should fall under the same fair use laws.
Your last para: beautifully put.
There are two different DMCA claims. The other one comes from a solo dev it seems - https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/a16b28b081e2302d4212caa7....

> So let's get this right, a Swiss company abusing the fact that Github is US hosted is using a Copyright claim mechanism for US based copyright holders (DMCA) to claim that the entire app is 'illegal™' because someone found a way to get their weather forecasts without a paying subscription.

An european copyright claim would result in the same thing. Just because GitHub want DCMA takedowns doesn't remove the fact that this would be taken down no matter what.

It's not that someone found a way, it's that they're sharing that. Pirating software from small companies and single developers is a massive low.
I use Vale and it’s syntax highlighting plugin for sublime text to do just this.

I have it open all day use it to compose anything more than a few sentences long.
Same. Oh hey these scammers are asking for money again? Wait, I haven’t given to IA in a while.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree that relying solely on per-provider integrations would not be ideal (for us as maintainers, or our users). But for now, we are using Passport.js just to help us quickly bootstrap maybe a half dozen social logins to get our users started. In the long run, I can imagine deeper integrations with Auth0 et al. and possibly building out some of the other mechanisms like you describe!
When you move to said small town and discover that being part of the in group depends on not straying from norms, going to the same church as everyone else, etc. you start to second guess it.
Kind of interesting. But I guess I’m more so asking whether people need to do a lot of writing in space. I would assume no?
11 other authors with no financial ties. The conflict of interest was expressed up front. The authors appear to be very aware of the limits of the study, including noting that they see no difference in subjective sleepiness, nor do they attempt to make any claims that the result will hold over long term use.

Frankly - The parent is right. This is a lazy fucking argument.
Maybe it will come with a sticker saying "spray inlets with alcohol periodically".
I mean, I don't know what types of prices we're talking about, but running schools is expensive, so when you aren't government-funded you have to charge a lot.
Problem being that the credit card processor already takes 1%, so that won’t happen.

Asianometry does some of the best, most in depth research for any YouTube channel I've watched.

I'm more convinced you didn't watch the video than the video being click-bait.
I think we are going to move toward a world where many jobs have a co-pilot and some abilities will be democratized in that less personal investment will be needed to become highly proficient from an output perspective. In the slightly longer term, I think we will move toward interacting with machines similar to how people interacted with "the computer" in Star Trek TNG, which really seems like just a really advanced co-pilot.
Wow. As far as trust signals go, this seems really bad.
That's the first thing I thought. They should be able to see which actions were taken by the app and undo them when cleaning up the abuse. No need to ban accounts.
I believe that the individual responsible for these bans should be transferred as punishment: working on the weird photo editor in PowerPoint, or the msvc++ compiler.
A european host would take it down too. Europe has copyright laws too. And they have their own versions of DMCA.

UK house prices set to plummet by 60%
The UK government has flat out refused to get involved in the private mortgage markets, despite calls from housing experts and economists to intervene in the face of the predicted downturn in house prices.

According to a report by the UK Housing Association, house prices in certain areas of the country are predicted to drop by as much as 60% in 2023, with the South and North West set to be hit the hardest. The report has sparked concerns that the middle classes, in particular, will be hit hard by the downturn, with many facing negative equity as a result of the falling prices.

However, despite these concerns, the government has stated that it has no plans to intervene in the private mortgage markets. In a statement, a spokesperson for the government said: "We believe that the private mortgage market should be allowed to operate freely and without interference from the government. Intervention would only serve to distort the market and could have unintended consequences for both homeowners and the economy as a whole."

The decision has been met with criticism from some quarters, with many arguing that the government has a responsibility to protect homeowners and prevent a potential economic downturn. "The government's refusal to intervene in the mortgage market is short-sighted and irresponsible," said Samantha Jones, Chief Economist at the UK Housing Association. "If house prices continue to fall, it could have a devastating impact on the economy and on the lives of many middle-class homeowners. The government must act now to support the housing market and prevent a potential crisis."

Despite the criticism, it seems that the government is unlikely to change its stance on the issue, leaving many homeowners in uncertain times ahead.
that's why the later OS releases after amiga/commodore imploded extended some of the memory APIs to say "This needs to be globally visible". That way you'd allocate message memory in globally accessible memory and the MMU could do "things".

(Not that I'm a fan of that solution, just saying, they had to hack around it.)

The Amiga was ultimately tied to its m68k architecture. No matter what Commodore did, it would have become unviable as the m68k died and was no longer developed. There were other very interesting computers back then, including the ARM-based Acorn Archimedes. But they weren't the Amiga; if anything, they didn't have anything like its huge software library.

Does the USA recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state? No.

Does the PRC recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state? No.

Does Taiwan recognize itself as a sovereign state separate from mainland China? No.
Nope, our Android app has caching, both for building APKs/AABs, but also for test suites. PRs run the entire test suite (on too many variants, even, I forgot to remove some unneeded stuff), what hasn't changed or hasn't been impacted by said changes simply gets a FROM-CACHE and isn't reran.
We don't have an uninstall script at this time, but the install is pretty localized. You get a directory called wasp-lang under ~/.local/share and a binary called wasp in ~/.local/bin.
This reminds me of Bill Ackerman coming in cnbc at the start of Covid yelling the world was ended at the same time he was massively shorting the market. So I always ask what is black rock doing and how are they making money as they send out this information. In the past you could load up on metals and push the coming decline to push people into those.
Because they built the app... They aren't copyrighting the data. They're copyrighting their app.
Isn't that the same system we use to determine the age of racehorses?

This is typical behaviour for companies like these.

The app here is just another weather app taking data from the european weather models and national weather services. This data was created by taxpayer money and is most of the time available for free via APIs from national weather services (although "API" often means "a daily file dump on an FTP").

Then these companies take this free data, build an app around it and monetize it.

https://www.dwd.de/DE/presse/pressemitteilungen/DE/2020/2020...

In this recent court case in nearby Germany, ad-supported weather apps sued the German national weather service to take down the official free weather app. The national weather service was forced to make their app paid due to this ruling.

The APIs and data dumps for corporate customers have to remain available, though.

Nowadays I refuse to use any private weather apps. Private weather apps take public data, fill it with ads, and then sell it back to us. I say: Fuck them.
yup, the community is really coming together over this. I'm shocked and happily surprised. :-)

There are gary / buster drop-ins now too. Super Buster has been talked about for Zorro-III, but yeah, the AGA and A3000 glue logic stuff hasn't yet been dropped in.
The team or creator credentials are also a skip for me. If I am on the fence too much fluff is a deal breaker.

... as the OG author of this thread I should say I /did/ drop in a memory upgrade into my Atari 1040STF. :-) I should write a blog post about that too if I haven't already.
I have no access to what the patch content is (As it has been taken down).

But if indeed it is a key/crack to access the companies' weather forecasts it is still a massive hyperbole and overreach to claim that the whole app is _illegal_ as it is claimed.

Just remove the patch and bring the repo back up.
Here's a single bit of anecdata:

I'm currently working on a computer vision pipeline. Some pipeline components test and build in 3-5 minutes, which is the absolute upper limit on my attention. Other components take 10-20 minutes, and I always switch away to something else.
(ah crap i'm on hackernews!)
It's nice they handle that case well, but Amazon has similar arbitrary account lockout issues. I tried to buy an Amazon gift card for a friend, and I got locked out of my Amazon account entirely, including all of my Kindle ebook purchases and my AWS account (which had some backups in S3). Their system thought my account got hacked and was being used by a hacker to buy a gift card. It took a lot of back and forth interactions with support before I could convince them that there was no hacker involved and I wanted my account back. It was only once I mentioned the large amount of Kindle ebook purchases I lost access to that they finally budged. I even had 2fa set up and my phone number connected to the account that should have been able to verify my account. Thank god it didn't go worse and I wasn't using AWS for anything important at the time.
I have just asked it the following: Suppose we have the set of all n x n Matrices denoted as M(n,n). Further we define the operation ・ as Matrix multiplication. Is G=(M(n,n),・) a group?

It incorrectly stated that G is a group and has given me the list of group axioms that must be satisfied. Since not all n x n Matrices do necessarily have an inverse G is not a group. So this answer was wrong and I've "explained" why.

2 hours later I've asked the very same question again (with a slightly different wording) in a completely new session. It not only has given me the correct answer it also deduced why G is not a group and how the set M(n,n) can be restricted to only include Matrices with non zero determinant, so that G becomes a group.

That pretty impressive!
Thankfully I had young kids and live near the Toronto zoo.. so i did get to see them ;)
> but the free content is still going to be there

Debatable.

For tech content this might be true but for general news, investigative journalism, reporters, etc. that probably won't be the case as the activity itself implies fixed costs.
Yes, but you’re not answering my original question: How does UBI avoid contributing significantly to inflation?

Your response of inflation adjustment doesn’t address the concern of high, unchecked inflation caused by injecting more money into the economy: If everyone has more money, then prices will creep up as businesses realize they can ask for more.

My primary concern is that program like these makes everyone (especially workers) other than the very wealthiest, extremely poor.

We already see the effects of this from Trump’s Covid payments.
