is Karen about whiteness? I assumed it was about being entitled.

Nobody says "black Karen" they just say "Karen", right?

And "Male Karen" is a thing, but we should probably use the words we mean instead of making up new words to say the same thing.

But that wouldn't be "cool".

From the comment I responded to
Good question, thanks! I do regularly hesitate on whether an article should be used or not. I suppose I need to read and write a lot during this year to get more comfortable with that.
> This information is easily accessible publicly literally one search to get the aircraft registration number

Except it isn't. Elon's jet has been subscribed to this program for months:

https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/privacy

This was confirmed by Elon himself: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603803508087537665

So if Elon's aircraft identifier was meant to be publicly accessible even though he is using that program, why does this privacy program exist in the first place?
For me - it's massive churn due to newer versions generally being incompatible with the earlier ones, and being pushed out fast.

Whenever I do start using any kind of JS framework and go through the process of researching best practices, ecosystem of related packages, etc., in a year or two that is largely irrelevant. Thus, the next time I need to start a JS project, it doesn't matter to me whether I'll pick the same or a different framework du jour, I will have approximately the same amount of (re)learning to do.

Compare that with Django, where little changes in years (one data point, I recently upgraded a legacy SaaS from Python2 and Django 1 to Python3 and Django 4 and it was a few days' work). This means every time I work with Django, I learn more about the ecosystem and it's easier for me to just start new projects in it as well.
Like any distributed service, 'Mastodon' will have bad and illegal stuff on some server somewhere. However those instances will be blocked and defederated by any mainstream instance.

Using that as an excuse is like trying to justify banning access to the entire internet because of bad websites.
You can export your data and move it to another server. If you're banned on Twitter, you're done.

Also, complete failures like banning important stories, banning presidents, banning journalists etc. cannot happen on Mastodon the same way that it has happened countless of times on Twitter and will continue happening.

Mastodon is obviously superior when it comes to the freedom of speech. Elon is afraid, because he knows. Funnily enough, he is the reason why we will get the better version of social media faster.
I think Musk and his followers must realize that free speech is a marketing campaign, and Elon's hypocrisy on going back on free speech is embracing the reality of things.
Except maybe your 2 was previously stored in the LossyNumber(TM) format which can only approximate integers, and it turned into 2.033. You add 8 to it, send it to me in a less lossy encoding, and I see 10.033. My knowledge of LossyNumber artifacts lets me know you started with 2!
A giant public square where the rules are equal for everyone can coexist too.

We have that, with public roads and parks.

"Here's the rules: don't litter, don't get naked, don't yell and follow people"

What I'm saying is that you can be one or the other, but not both.

Mastodon doesn't pretend to be anything other than private property.

Twitter pretends to be a public place, like a park or a giant square.
Maybe try TiddlyWiki? Your block would be a Tiddler with tags, and if you want to see several blocks together, you can transclude them into a "larger" Tiddler.
Personal ID arent for free in Germany (though not expensive, ca. 30 EUR), they are mandatory to wear and you have to show if you want to elect.

No IDs in an election are a culture war issue in US and lefties argue irrationally on the topic. Btw, I am not a Trump supporter.
I use an Apple Watch. I start the “Mindfulness” Watch app (and then ignore it in favor of iOS Breathing) to force the Watch to measure HRV.

Of the apps I’ve tried, The iOS Breathing App’s audio and very limited visual is the easiest to get engrossed in. Google for “resonance breathing” for more about its breathing technique - though I didn’t know any of that when I first tried it.
> for his airplane while he's an active target for political assasination

Are you talking about the alleged incident that demonstrably had no connection to his jet tracker, and was so scary he didn't file a police report?

> an actual good reason/example for this statement?

How about him banning journalists for merely reporting the news and falsely claiming they doxed his address? Or him acting like a big baby and blocking anyone who doesn't stroke his ego?

Both

I'm sure GP meant /year, not month. Pricing's always (as far as I've ever seen) per year for one thing, but also it's not 120 (or more) unless your name's Ford or something. (Damn it.)
QBASIC was free and included with the most popular OS on computers at the time, as IBM-compatible was unifying the hardware landscape and more people than ever were buying PCs. And, as a result, it is what people commonly think of as "Basic."
Flawless in principle, but harmful slogans in practice because it fails to develop those ideas for the particular situation at hand.

Sure, medical regulation should exist - I specifically mentioned the "primum non nocere" principle as the basis for that protection. Things like access to source code and right to repair, some guarantee the device can be removed and won't become actively harmful etc.

But some of the specific kind of regulation this article argues for are unreasonable to the point of killing the prospect of a cure.

The point of the crypto example is not that regulation is harmful, but that people respond to incentives - exactly the same investors have a choice between some sort of a MMORPG poker that is crypto versus a medical start-up. And guess what, they choose the "investment" where money is moved around and they have the chance to earn something at the loss of others, as opposed to the medical startup that could cure people but is - due to dumb regulations - more likely to lose money in the average/EV case. It's not me who brings the crypto madnesses into the medical field, it's whomever bombastically claims some irrational behavior from investors, while expecting them to foot the bill for medical innovation - that was the premiss of the comment you replied to.

Loud minority.

The average user's exposure to any of that is minimum, and they're not about to abandon their twitter clout for some unknown platform.
Why do you think it's a problem? I see it exactly like: "I like pancakes but not waffles. When I was younger I liked waffles more." Tastes change. Available options for food and games change over time too.

Also depending on when exactly you were younger, maybe the multiplayer games simply weren't good? For my timing, they first didn't exist, then they weren't good, now I'm not a huge fan of them, but they exist as a reasonable option.
Every other notable person who is genuinely at risk of political assassination implements actually useful methods to prevent it, such as using good opsec, having a solid security team, not flying on the same three private jets everywhere, not travelling in rare and easily identifiable vehicles like prototype Cybertrucks, and not revealing their own location through tweets. There are companies that specialise in helping with all of this as a service, including booking charters, hotels, and other tickets through difficult-to-trace intermediaries. They also work closely with law enforcement.

Musk has not been carrying out any of the practices of someone worried about assassination, and the idea that @ElonJet did anything to increase the risk of him or his family being attacked is ludicrous. The account wasn't even active at the time of the alleged attack on his child.

The extent to which people will defend the baseless claims of Musk just because of who he is blows my mind.
There's a big difference between calling Reddit as a whole a strict leftist place, and a sub community of the site banning discourse on an incredibly divisive topic that attracts pure vitriol from both sides of the spectrum every time it comes up.

If you want to discuss the topic of transgender athletes there's plenty of places on Reddit for you to do so.

The topic is not too dissimilar to discussing crypto here on HN, it's definitely possible to do so but the topic so frequently erupts into name calling it forces heavy handed moderation that pleases nobody.
Your elephant foot argument is a good summary of what you get wrong: in a nuclear plant there are tons of radioactive material, but even in the scenario of an accident, most of it stays inside the plant, and only the elements that are light enough to get vaporized by the accident's temperature are actually going to the atmosphere. In a nuclear bomb detonation, even the uranium or plutonium itself is vaporized and spread over the area. And the heavy material falls out much more quickly than the light one, so the dispersal is actually lower than the small fraction that leave the site in a nuclear accident. That doesn't mean nuclear accident are harmless, quite the contrary, because iodine for instance is being spread very far away from the plant and it has the nasty effect of being at the same time very radioactive, and very easily metabolizable.

Also, you're confusing radiation (rays hits you when you just stays here) with contamination (you've ingested a radioactive particle and now it's going to release it's rays inside of your body, eventually causing cancer). Radiation is really unlikely to cause trouble unless you're really close to a highly radioactive source (next to nuclear bomb detonation, inside a criticality incident, or a few very rare scenarios like that). That's a common mistake to make but that highlights your misunderstanding of the topic.

> The immediate vicinity of both Chernobyl and Fukushima will in fact be uninhabitable and restricted for at least many centuries, if not thousands of years.

Maybe the few square kilometers around it, but this is also the case for most heavy industrial activities (heavy metal levels are typically way off limits in these places) but the exclusion zone as a whole will not.

In fact, in Fukushima it was already safe enough back in 2016![1], and in fact it has been slowly re-opened for people to live in, Futaba[2] being the last city to reopen[3] in 2022. So much to the thousands of years! And you can even visit the Fukushima Daiishi power plant itself today[4]. Growing crop or raising cattle there will stay ill-advised for a few more decades though, because the only real risk at this point comes from ingestion of Cesium 137.

The two reasons why it stays restricted for longer than needed are:

1. nuclear inspires a deep irrational fear that other carcinogenic pollutants do not, even when they are in fact much more dangerous.

2. Neither Japan nor Ukraine really have need for these land since they've had an anemic demography for decades, unlike in 1945 where abandoning the land of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have been impossible.

> It was Oculus Go, and by every metric is was a commercial, financial, and technical, disaster.

It was the second best selling VR headset at that time, only behind PSVR1. The only problem with it was that it came too late. GearVR had been around since 2015 already, Go was essentially just a standalone version of that, but it took until 2018 to release. That was simply to late, as a year later it was replaced by the Quest1 and 3DOF VR was killed.

Another problem with the Go was that Facebook didn't put effort into good 3DOF content. They never released a VR180-3D camera. Never build their own VR video platform. And finally they made Quest2 deliberately incompatible with Go, despite Quest1 still having some compatibility.

There was and still is a lot of unnecessary fracturing going on in the VR space, even among Meta's own headsets. I think the Go line should simple have been continued with a stronger focus on movie instead of gaming. The Nreal Air shows what is possible when going that direction and Meta with an 8 year head start should have an easy time matching that. Instead we only got Quest2, which is much more heavy and low resolution than it needs to be for a movie headset.
Later standards use more efficient codes that map longer symbols to DC-free codes, and thus are more bandwidth-efficient. (8b/10b, 64b/66b codes, where manchester is basically a 1b/2b code)

Not sure I understand your point. There are pros and cons to open sourcing something - should we begrudge the Obsidian team the right to make money from their software, particularly when they’ve taken steps to ensure data portability? And saying that the advanced features the Obsidian team built won’t work without Obsidian is sort of circular, isn’t it? I reckon being able to walk away with your data gets you 90% of the way there.

Nobody owes you an open source text file-based note-taking app with advanced backlinking features, etc. Perhaps you’d like to set up an open source project yourself supporting Obsidian-like advanced functionality?
I only learned about this when buying a house and the inspector asking if I wanted to pay to have the test done. It came back positive and I disclosed the results to the seller, and in my state it requires them to mitigate before selling. My second house already had a system installed, but we also sleep on a second floor. I have always wondered how good the mitigation is; is Canada behind on public safety of this issue? Are Radon-related cancers on par in states with more regulation/mitigation?

How to Use Mastodon, Social-Media Platform Blocked by Elon Musk’s Twitter
> Crappy DNS servers basically only know how to "make the web work" in the sense it worked in about 1995. They expect questions like A? some.web.server.example and they reply with an IP address, it might be the right IP address, but not always. These servers of course have no idea DNSSEC exists.

That's not a good reason not to deploy DNSSEC.

If DNSSEC/DANE is deployed, and some clients cannot make use of it because they are shitty, why hold back the non-shitty clients that can deal with DNSSEC/DANE? Just because 100% coverage for all clients isn't possible doesn't mean we shouldn't try to move the ball forward.

The perfect is the enemy of the good (/improvement).
this post title talks about "year-long journey" but I don't see anything related to it in the post itself.

Eh, perfecting one's language use could be a journey - but what exactly would make this process an actual journey?

How do we distinguish between journey and non-journey?

I have been learning German ( via Duolingo) for the last two months. Does it count as a journey? So far it feels like a walk in a wood without a map.

Privilege plus power. If we can't agree on a definition, substitute my word for another that more closely fits the meaning. I don't care to bicker about definitions, but I hope we can both know what is meant.

This is one of the uppermost citations on the Wikipedia page for the term.

"Marginal immunity" is also looking at it the wrong way. One should instead consider how a nonwhite person would be treated in the same situation. Let alone any incident involving the police in the US.
After reading that: I am not a fan of how wikipedia calls Karen ageist, sexist & racist but the wikipedia page for mansplaining says that it's "one of the most creative new words in the last decade".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansplaining

To me these two terms are basically identical: Take a behaviour (Entitlement, Obnoxiousness) and genderise/racialise it.

It's stupid and divisive, but what I find is that right wing people are happy to use Karen and get mad about Mansplain, but left wing people are happy to use Mansplain but get mad at Karen.

> I'm exactly in the target demographic that desperately wants a a return to the old, decentralized, protocol-based internet. We need working alternatives to Twitter to prevent a single mentally unstable billionaire from having this kind of power. But everything about Mastodon seems badly designed and engineered. The focus on "servers" seems technologically anachronisticm.

I don't understand what decentralized internet service you would prefer then? The ability for anyone to host their own decentralized instance is exactly what a return to the protocols of old would look like. They may not have had anime avatars, but you were just as susceptible to the whims of your IRC admin. Either you trust in the faceless centralized conglomerate or in your smaller devop.

Right, I forgot storage. Yet in the context of "a model (spreadsheet) with bounded storage and bounded computation steps count is TM complete when looping is externalized", one can externalize storage as well, or encode storage in DFA states and use bigger DFA when storage of current runs out, or handwave storage unboundedness as in argument about spreadsheet.

Also DFA has no looping as in "doing infinite computation steps over finite input".
Yeah, having two fire escape routes in a large apartment building is not some sort of mistaken regulation.

Also I very much doubt your characterization of properties in Germany. I'm sure there's a wide variety that broadly resembles what we see in all developed urban areas.

The US uses wood construction a lot because it's a cost effective local material. Fire safety standards in the US are generally quite high. Building with wood is not some sort of problematic thing as you imply.

Seriously, the weird chip on the shoulder some people get about the US is tiresome. Sure we have some stupid laws and bureaucracy like anywhere, but we're not aliens with pokadot skin or anything. I assure you people are pretty much the same everywhere.
