If I were you I wouldn't build the frontend from scratch. There are like a million drop in dashboards that you can buy for like $100 that can be easily hooked up to your backend. Stuff like MUI and probably a bazillion others. Just change the styling a bit if you need to. But that's way less work than trying to build and maintain a bespoke system.

Space. The fins take up very little space on the boat and is worth 100x the value of the meat. So they'd rather keep one small shark fin than the whole shark.
I guarantee that someone like Zuckerberg does not have access to my data.

And the moment it became inevitable that Musk took over Twitter I deleted my account. And that was one of many reasons.

The only two social media sites that I partake in are HN and up to Elons acquisition Twitter and that is because I had/have a fairly high degree of faith in their ability to at least try to do the right thing. With Musk, Zuckerberg and several others I have the conviction that given the opportunity that they will do the wrong thing.

Would you bet that Musk has not already abused his position to gain information from private communications on Twitter?
The point is that given it is your child, being near you since day 0, if you give an adequate example of what you consider a good life, they will also be probably inclined to follow your example. Although it isn't a rigorous process.

There is a joke: how do you stop a 30 year old man from beating his wife? You hug him when he is 7. How do you stop a 7 year old from being a brat throwing tantrums for chocolate and YouTube? You control your chocolate/YouTube/etc. intake when they are 1 days old.
What would a bureau investigating crimes have any involvement in sifting through accounts looking for ToS violations?

Are they the TOS violation cops ala BSA?

What other companies were they helping in hunting down ToS violators?

This is not their scope of work and it has the appearance of impropriety by suggesting accounts that should be reviewed for suspension.

Imagine if you had the Trump admin suggesting whose accounts to review?

This would be cool, but likely too controversial given current emotions, maybe a good suggestion if/when things chill out.
Taibbi even presents clear evidence that Twitter did not take the FBI's reports as automatic cause for taking action.
I have regained a lot of focus by using the Unread filter. I don't think it's on by default, you have to go into settings. I use it to mark the events in my day where I go to slack. I just hit the unread filter, read through all that I need or want to, respond, and then decide if I'm going to be in slack for a while (e.g. A conversation that will be having a lot of back of forth) or if I can safely context switch back to whatever I was doing or something new. The Unread filter has keyboard shortcuts too, so you can navigate stuff quickly.

This may also be an opportunity to raise the issue. If it's not your style to be direct about it, consider just asking in your team channel for advice on this very issue. Maybe it's an important conversation to open up at your workplace.

The “professional video” category has quite a few
> I think the average HN users could do a lot more damage to society than the average Twitter user.

How so? How many HN comments have "gone viral"? How many news stories are about a HN comment? How many politicians and journalists and pro athletes and Hollywood celebrities are commenting on HN?

Any given HN comment can receive only a theoretical maximum of 250K upvotes, if (improbably) every registered user upvoted it, and those upvotes would be superfluous anyway, because they would only bring the comment to the top of a single HN submission.
They can't/don't want to monetize the pornography on their website because some of it is abuse material.

Normal people think it's not enough to not profit from it - you need to try very hard to remove it.
The meat is less valuable than the fins on a volume basis, and volume of the cargo hold/transport rate back to shore is likely the limiting factor on their harvest rate.
Are local LE contacting Twitter about possible ToS violations or rather reaching out for cooperation on suspected crimes?

One is none of their business the other is expected.
Were they coerced to vote for it? Why did they vote for it if they didn't know what it is? Honestly it's hilarious how systemd haters see conspiracies everywhere.

I believe we're still 15 years out from AGI, but I also think we could start creating autonomous agents right now that make people feel like it's almost AGI. I think Carmack could get something out the door that feels like that.

They do remove it. I've reported illegal pornography on Twitter several times and they removed it faster than any other kind of abuse report I made there. And it's not like I went out to look for it, if you're on Twitter long enough you will end up with DMs from the weirdest people.
> What you call a "suggestion" can easily be interpreted as a threat

Anything can be interpreted as a threat if you're paranoid enough, but the text of the emails (if you ignore Taibbi's commentary) is pretty clearly inconsistent with that interpretation.
If the FBI suggested to the various tech companies to shut down all your accounts and they complied, you'd be singing a different tune.

Last time I got near any sort of proprietary unix was probably AIX at IBM. It is still actively developed for their p-series POWER servers. But that was probably 7 years ago now.

Back in the 00s it was common to have to work on multiple proprietary platforms. I did a lot of platform engineering work for one product that ran across Solaris (Sparc and x86), AIX (POWER), HPUX (PA-RISC and Itanium), Linux (x86 and System Z) and Windows.

Now ... if I'm lucky I don't have to care about the platform at all, I just write lambdas in my language of choice and throw them at AWS. It's a very different world!
Can you cite an example of that? I've read all of the threads so far and none of them demonstrate an account being taken down at the government's request.
As enkid said, they're written specifically for the contest. I think you're supposed to assume that the "bad" novel that goes with them is mostly intended to be serious, or at least that it isn't made up of non-stop slapstick humor. Most of them are parodying genre cliches, and especially the fantasy ones seem to break the fourth wall and complain about made-up words and spelling. Many of the first lines would work if the entire novel is a parody, and if the rest of the writing doesn't run out of steam and become boring.

> The only reason people want to know about this stuff is some kind of morbid curiosity.

Nobody has a problem with the FBI doing takedown requests for that kind of content. It's about political content (labelled "civic misinformation") on accounts like @RSBNetwork. The FBI isn't supposed to be taking sides and potentially influencing elections by encouraging social media companies to ban accounts of political actors.

Personally I'm of two minds about this whole thing. While I have concerns, the right-wing in the US at the moment are an authoritarian movement and social media companies are doing not nearly enough in the way of moderation. Ideally the FBI would have stayed out of it and Twitter would have upped their game.

> You would have to decide on a case-by-case basis which requests can cause harm and which don't, which given the volume of such requests would add a fairly unreasonable burden on a company that was already cash strapped.

I'd put the burden on the FBI. If they want to exclude all clearly non-political content (e.g. suicide videos) from the transparency report that's ok by me.

And that's total emails, each communication on an issue is probably 3-4 emails at least, so 150 in that many years is incredibly small. It's more like one issue a month.
You could probably run a Plex server with something like TubeSync that would download offline copies automatically; pair this with a metadata agent and you'd still get all the playlist/thumbnail/description stuff.
I already am. The FBI just shut down the Z-Library with the help of Google and Amazon, which is a far more significant scandal over unjust power than this is. This is nothing more than chaff meant to distract from that atrocity. You are all crying about two dozen low-follower accounts while the FBI has successfully shuttered an immense knowledge repository.

At MegaCompanies, being right, having evidence, and trying to persuade just isn’t enough, as John Fucking Carmack figured out. It’s more like High School. You need to be in the right clique or have the ear of the right Very Important Person.

When you send that E-mail and say “We should do X because Y and Z…” people stop reading at “because” and just go look in the company directory for your name. If you’re high enough on the totem pole, they’ll respond to you. If you’re even higher, they might suggest a meeting to discuss X! And if you are really high up, they will stop what they are doing and do X right away.

What’s surprising to me is how someone like Carmack didn’t have enough totem-pole clout just from who he is! He’s practically a celebrity, and I’d have thought that would go a long way in the High School Drama Club but I guess not.
The FBI says "won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest?" while the majority party in congress is dragging social media CEOs to testify about content moderation isn't enough to make you at the very least, suspicious?
Every kid is different. I've heard of families who put locks on the refrigerator at night because their kids won't stop eating.

If parents solved all their problems with the kid by shoving the phone in their hands ["so that brat would finally shut the fuck up"] then of course.
That's not how it works. How it works is that they come across something that is either illegal or that could snowball into a problem and it happens to violate the TOS. This gives them enough grounds to ask for a removal. If it isn't against the TOS but they feel that they need to have it removed anyway they'll go by a judge and get an order, or, if contact is good they might first ask you politely.
For people who did a programming workshop maybe?

I guess they don’t value x1000 talent
Did the fbi ask Twitter to ban the by post story? I haven’t seen that evidence.
The central issue here is Musk's political leanings go against many here. Therefore, everything is Musk's fault. Nothing he does is good.
>It is simply stunning that the seasoned direction and counsel that someone of John Carmack’s caliber is capable of delivering was not being followed.

He worked for an Ad company that voraciously mined through their user's data. Unless he was able to find new ways to monetize their users or bypass iOS's opt in app tracking, I see no reason why they would even care.
> How do you protect your children from internet addiction?

Oh yes, AlphaCode could definitely replace some of the clowns I've worked with.
Yes and yes. As well as things such as suicide attempts, missing kids and so on.

To give you some numbers: I operated an international community with about 1 million members over the course of 20 years. During that time the number of requests were larger than the number of requests that have been detailed here regarding Twitter, which is one of the reasons why I believe that we are seeing a highly colored picture.
Part of the problem is that Oculus has all the overhead from Meta’s regulatory compliance burden, so they can’t escape some of the most frustrating pressures.

There are alternatives for grid storage that are being deployed right now. Sodium or Flow batteries, CAES and underground pumped hydro. As lithium prices increase, alternative technologies will be deployed in scale and come down in cost.
Corporate records and correspondence can be made public due to a lawsuit. So the risk of disclosure isn't new, and anyone should consider it whether they work at a startup or at a large company.

Just another incentive to act with integrity and keep personal correspondence out of corporate systems.
To expand a bit more on this, one consequence of increased transparency is fewer back-room deals. This means that instead of one backroom deal getting support for bill A in exchange for support for bill B, and another backroom deal getting support for bill A in exchange for bill C, they now need to comingle bills A, B, and C in order to get them passed in a single transaction.

The short attention span of the electorate and the sound-byte focus of most media means that politicians have a very tough time explaining that they only supported bills B and C because it was a necessary compromise to get A passed.

Transparency is a net positive, but it seems spaghettification of bills in an unforeseen consequence.

Based on Taibbi's reporting it sounds like they were nonsectarian in the priests they complained about.
Insider leaks would be a higher risks given Twitter is still in SF. Typically the public benefits from leaks and whistleblowers, right? Unless you mean purposeful 'hacks' with a specific agenda that only leaks private DMs of a select group? Yes, that would be bad.

A hacker pulling off an exfiltration of the entire DB of any major tech company I'm very skeptical about that happening.

When a doctor is speaking with a trans person about their body, it's an appropriate time to speak about their biological sex. That is certainly not hate speech.

When a stranger is yelling at a trans person about their biological sex, it's done to inflict emotional harm on the trans person. They transitioned away from that gender to reduce harm (that is the definition of a trans person), and the stranger is intentionally trying to bring that harm back.

Imagine shouting at a woman about her "biological breast size" because she is wearing a push-up bra, or had surgery to enlarge or reduce her breast size. Would that seem like a normal, harm-free way to interact with another person you don't know? Obviously not.

> Combined-cycle gas turbines are fine for backing up renewables and storage.

So are plain steam turbines, if you have cheap steam.

> Steam turbines, by contrast, are expensive to operate, and slow to start up and shut down.

Huh? Combined cycle setups use steam turbines as part of the system. Steam turbines can ramp up and down plenty fast. It's traditional heat sources that don't ramp well.

> By the time much storage is needed, it will be very cheap.

That would be nice but I'm not depending on it, and I'm definitely not going to assume that long term storage will ever be cheaper than steam turbines.
The study directly tackles this question in section 3, including why it is very rare in hunter-gatherer societies.

> We suggest that one reason why the prevalence of psychosis among people with hunter-gatherer and traditional lifestyles is so much lower than in people with contemporary western lifestyles is due to chronic stress and low-grade systemic inflammation caused by western lifestyle.

Why is chronic stress important? It brings impaired immune response and chronic inflammation. This lets a number of parasites through the door, one of which is _Toxoplasma gondii_, the mind-control parasite that causes mice to not fear cats.

> In light of the parasite x genotype x stress model, a probable explanation for why living in cities increases the risk of schizophrenia is increased chronic stress caused by urban living (see Lederbogen et al., 2011). City living is associated with increased amygdala activity and affects the perigenual anterior cingulate cortex, a key region for regulation of amygdala activity, negative affect, and stress (Lederbogen et al., 2011). Functional magnetic resonance imaging research has shown that city living and urban upbringing are associated with altered neural processing of acute social stress (Lederbogen et al., 2011). There is also substantial evidence indicating that visiting green spaces and being exposed to natural environments reduce psychological stress (Ewert and Chang, 2018).

> Living in cities can increase contact with Toxoplasma gondii through domestic cats because cats have a more limited choice of defecation sites in urban areas (Torrey and Yolken, 2014). Likewise, it is possible that the high prevalence of schizophrenia among people with contemporary western lifestyles compared to hunter-gatherers might be caused by the higher prevalence of domestic cats and diseases associated with them. It is also possible that contemporary western lifestyles and living in cities negatively influence gut health and gut microbiota (Fig. 1). Further evidence for this hypothesis comes from findings showing that people with hunter-gatherer lifestyles have more diverse microbiota than people with contemporary western lifestyles (Sanchez-Quinto et al., 2020, Segata, 2015, Singh et al., 2019, Yatsunenko et al., 2012).
Afaict this is just a rephrasing of what I said. Preferential treatment is exactly what happens when you choose to "not waste a bunch of [your] time on leads that cannot yield a net-positive relationship". In effect you're only focusing on the people that you think matter the most.

My assessment probably sounds overly pessimistic, apologies.

Not since 2012. Company ran on a big Oracle DB on very expensive Solaris machines. They started in 98 or 99 so this was a vaguely defensible choice.

Several times we looked at moving the DB to Linux/x86 but Oracle's pricing made it non-economical, or so I was told. All the app-tier servers (Java) ran Linux.
