Just turn the clock back to before the protected class was declared and their example is valid. If you don't like that, imagine a hypothetical future protected class that is currently not yet protected for surely there will be one.
Yup, UX is more important than T&S, because without good UX, folks won't use an app in the first place, making the role of T&S moot. The role of project lead (if executed well) is more important too, in terms of keeping the project alive and trying to lead the overall project in a coherent direction rather than drifting organically.

That said, T&S is a core pillar of the project, because without sufficient moderation and anti-abuse features the network will obviously rapidly hit a glass ceiling (which you could argue that it already has). Which is why the T&S team does still exist going forwards; just not in the same shape. It utterly sucks to have been forced into this through budget constraints, though.
It really doesn't look like the US Gov had unilateral access to ban people. Just to flag accounts for consideration by Twitter, differing from what normal users can do only in that the flag comes from a "trusted" source and moderation is expedited.

If a tweet didn't violate Twitter's terms, it's been shown the Twitter team wouldn't remove that tweet despite being flagged by the govt
I see some serious red flags on their homepage:

* "Partners" just seem to be logo-hijacking potential hosting platforms (not actual partnerships)

* Most of the links in the footer don't work

* The testimonials use fake names + stock art

* API keys checked into a public repo

* Seems to be built by (or somehow associated with) this company (hhttps://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/312911-47), but with no links back

Please be careful using this product. Not trying to be insulting; but if you're going to use it I'd make sure you install it locally.

That being said, I love this as a concept. Airtable is so so nice as a backend/DB for simple sites, and I'm intrigued by an open source competitor!
depends on materials and environment, most people can fingernail them out and push a new one in.

they can vary from self destruct, to immortal service life depending on material, and use.
None of the phones I had to toss in the last few years were due to battery giving out. It was because they become too slow or weren't updated by the manufacturer.

Well, one stopped charging and wasn't popular enough for local shops to have parts for it. But that was likely wiring/port, not the battery itself.
The average Joe is probably against too much immigration

"The biggest impact comes to industries like construction, agriculture, and especially hospitality"
The average Joe probably just wants a raise instead of more competition around these. Competition keeps wages low.

I don't really know what I want to say here, except that the average citizen is too busy to be concerned for these poor industries
Zoom at least has the excuse that its more convinent if you are possibly dropping frames and need random access decryption (still really not acceptable). LastPass does not even have that.
- It's going to be blissfully boring

- Almost nothing of note will happen

Side note: love that the instruction for how to write predictions as a list misformatted the list the same way I always do. Would it be too much to wish for HN to support natural list formatting?
Citation needed on "biggest". 1Password appears to have comparable revenue to LastPass, but it is hard to pin down clear sources. Since you seem to have sources, it would be nice to see them. Number of users is even harder to pin down since you never know what a company counts as a "user". Someone who forgot to delete their account from years ago could easily be counted if the company is looking to inflate user counts.

Even if they were 100x the size of the next competitor, they would not get a free pass for the obvious technical failures of their implementation, which have nothing to do with the number of users. The entire vault should be encrypted, end to end. The number of PBKDF2 "rounds" should automatically have increased, even for old users. These are huge oversights that fundamentally undermine their credibility.

As far as coverups at other companies go, that would be some coverup to avoid any whistleblowers leaking things. Unless it was very recent, this is very unlikely. People take cybersecurity seriously, and counting on every employee to participate in a coverup of a serious breach is unlikely to go well.
Ye no. I would certainly worry alot more if FBI sent me an angry letter compared to say Pizza Hut? You always have an implied threat when a government agency is involved.
> their android app was found to have tracking mechanism purely used for marketing purposes

I'd be curious to read up on this. Would you happen to have a link to some coverage of this?
This is just plain wrong. The whole article.
What kind of content farm puts those articles out.
Exactly. What does anti-democratic mean? A brief reminder that North Korea's full name is Democratic People's Republic of Korea and East Germany was German Democratic Republic.

The reason we would usually go for the fullest amount of protection for speech was precisely because most of those issues are not simply a matter of "these people are democratic and those aren't".
Eh, mistakes happen. For me it's all about how they're handled.
Depends on how you look at it.

For actual verification, unless there's a bug my understanding is that very trustworthy. But by that point it's already too late. Okay, you know something is broken, but that won't give your good data back.

But that only tells you that Git data is intact and that all the hashes match. If git got a corrupted file to start with, then correctly hashed it, everything will verify 100% and still be broken.
I believe your comment represents speech that puts the well-being of society at serious risk, is harmful, and possibly even extremist.

If I manage to convince 50.1% of the population of the same, should we be permitted to censor your speech, and enforce prior restraint on your future speech under penalty of law?
It’s because they use AMD CPUs now (already in the 21 models). The trade-off is that those CPUs have worse hardware codec support than the Intel ones they previously used, if you want to do video transcoding.
Because Arch is close to upstream.

OTOH, Debian exim config is the incarnation of evil.
> why does everyone use cases, but there are no options to buy a phone that is less sleak but robust enough not to need a case?

I don’t use a case, and I resent you supporting the use of government power to force me to make a tradeoff that I have chosen against.

Cases as an option mean the same phone can serve everyone, and people can choose to use a case or not. You are literally asking why phone manufacturers choose to serve a bigger market rather than a smaller one.

As someone else asked, what other purchasing decisions that I make should be illegal in the name of forcing every product to conform to your personal preferences rather than letting consumers like me decide what we want?
Why not have Apple replace the battery? Surprisingly, it isn’t that expensive.
> Is there any production ready language that isn't conservative with its decision making?

There's variations of degree, but probably not. Part of being production-ready is stability.
Well folks seem to keep pushing the boundaries and pumping out crap that's wasteful, unrepairable and just shit designed to appease to some kids fishcher price kids toy aesthetic. Then yes. We need these laws. If your so thick we have to spell it out one by one a law at a time then so be it. I have no problem with this.
There’s a limit to this though. What about shipping and billing addresses? Credit card numbers? Do you just not buy anything at all online?

Your implicit claim that consumption is jusified by the fact that it is consumed is wrong. No good or service can bring happiness. The only consumption that is justified is that which is nessesary to live or improve general well being such as food, shelter and medicine. Other goods, such as art, are a distraction from life.

>More importantly, art can be an end to itself.

Is life itself not the greatest art? One who lives for art is already dead.

>The idea that everything has to be a means to some end can devolve into treating all human endeavors as inputs into some global maximization functions

Even if all basic needs were fulfiled, art still would not have true value.

>reducing humans to cogs in a machine

Are artists and thier consumers not cogs in a machinine maximizing their pleasure? Not that this framing means anything on it's own.

>That feels a bit philosophically bankrupt

Many philosphies have taken the stance given above, begining in ~500 BC in Buddhism, and reappearing independently multiple times such as in Mohism in 400 BC and still existing in modern philosophies such as some forms of utilitarianism and nihlism. No serious philosphers, meanwhile, beleive that the meaning of life is to look at art.
Digital personas already exist, see eg VTubers, vocaloids, Charlotte Fang, etc

The median age in Japan is 48 years, Europe at 42, US and China at 38, India, 28.

I would not put any faith in the Canadian telcos at this point. They feel quite outdated, charging insane prices for subpar quality service. (From my experience with Bell and limited Rodger experience).

There are many things they could improve on and I think dealing with spam is probably low on their list.
Yuri, After reading about your visa situation, a wrongful dismissal lawyer can claim for the extra expenses because of your visa situation including returning to home country, temporary accommodation, possibly being forced off employment market for an extended time until your visa situation is sorted out, extra travel etc.

Wrongful dismissal law (precedents) requires you to make reasonable effort to mitigate damages;so keep up your job search.

Remember that once you have a new job offer, any delay in beginning employment while waiting for a new visa can be claimed against Amazon.
I'm not a full-time nixpkgs developer being paid for that. I'm willing to make occasional contributions but won't if it costs me too much. If it's cheaper to maintain a private fork I would do exactly that.

Institutions drift in loyalty and direction, but corruption and lack of accountability fester regardless. Is it difficult to believe that it continues to abuse its power, and will ally itself with whichever party endorses that abuse?
In a city you’re not likely to be farther than a mile away from a high speed charger. It’s perfectly reasonable for a small city car to “fill up” occasionally to cover the short mileage they’re likely to see between charges anyways.

I don’t have an EV or a car at all, but if I did my charging regimen would be “plug it in at the fast charger at the grocery store and charge it while I shop”. It’s just not a big deal.

We certainly don’t need to make our residential streets more ugly than having a bunch of cars parked on it already does by stringing up charging infrastructure all over it.
> You’re cool with designers, e.g. Apple, shipping EU models that are less waterproof, bulkier, less reliable, and cost more? In the name of reducing e-waste?

Regulations act as pressure. If this results in less waterproof devices and I as an user still want waterproof, I'll keep on looking for companies that do the best job under this constraint. That will further push the industry to figure out the replaceable battery + waterproof combo.
I don't find it incredible that Russia and China conduct disinformation campaigns via social media, regarding our elections and all manner of things. The accusation that they have used social media to inflame groups on both sides of the political divide in the US seems credible to me.

However I'm not okay with unilateral censorship as a response necessarily. But I'd be okay with a tag on postings and accounts maybe. I'm not sure what the solution is, despite concerns over both foreign influence and domestic censorship.

For now, if an item seems to demonize Americans or Westerners on the right OR the left, I try to be very skeptical.
Really the black Swan gave you so many applicable ideas? I wonder how to translate even the concept to limited data driven analyses! Seriously.

They seem to have no issues earning money offering a cheap smartphone (much cheaper than Apple), creating a waterproof smartphone with a user replaceable battery.

How can that be?
If storage space is a consideration checkout the range of “Tiny Epic Games” by Gamelyn Games. I have about 20 decent games taking up the space of 3 or 4 “normal” size ones.
"most people" cannot disagree with them about the story's importance, because "most people" haven't heard about the it thanks to the suppression campaign. That's the whole issue you are trying to downplay.
Phones have been getting better every year, and with it, new features and utilities enabled, throttling or not. No one (few outside HN) wants an old phone. People want the new features that are enabled by new hardware. The effective life of a phone is not limited by a battery but the remaining hardware.

The entire PRC economy slowing down hence need to rely nationalism from west is more projection than reality.

Even pessemsitic estimates of 3-5% growth is plenty to maintain visible QoL upgrades YoY. PRC isn't going to be west for the foreseeable future where decline in standards is much more pronounced. More PRC citizens in T3/4+ cities (where majority are) will be buying their first cars or whatever fancy domestic gadgets are and feel their life is getting better. There's still huge visible improvements happening.

Or that perhaps the directionality of "eating own creators" prediction is wrong, sometimes war is strategically desirable, and if so, it's prudent to prepare population by cultivating nationalism. Which really there hasn't been much despite western reporting, it's more natural generational awakening among younger cohorts who grew up in richer regions of PRC that west isn't all that, especially when they are now trying to contain PRC prospects. By my estimate, right now state of PRC nationalism is more like 6/10 vs most Anglo countries are 8/10s. Fervent nationalism voices are still largely repressed from PRC mainstream narrative while the other "indicator" of PRC nationalism in western rags are some cosmopolitan kids starting to renfaire hanfu costumes and preferring domestic brands. It's nothing. Just like these exercises in response to new US TW policy act.
For a model trained exclusively on the public domain, I would still be unhappy about the prospect of a world where a lot of low-level gigs that keep artists alive have been replaced by spending a half hour fucking with prompts. It would however be free of the "this corporation abused fair use to create a training model which it is selling to people" problem.

And no, it's not infringement if you work in someone's style - but it's also not professional to do this for too long, especially with a living artist. One piece in someone else's style is a homage, several years of pieces in their style starts to get you labeled a "clone" or a "style thief". Unless you are their assistant, in which case "working in their style" is exactly what you are being paid to do.

If you would like an example of this happening, read the 'controversy' section of Kieth Giffen's Wikipedia page, which sketches out the way fans and fellow artists took Kieth Giffen to task for doing a complete style swipe from José Muñoz' shadow-drenched crime comics for several years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Giffen#Controversy
> Then wonders if Mastodon, lacking Quote Tweets is unethical because how can black people communicate then

He wonders if migrating to Mastodon without crossposting might be unethical because it cuts people who are stuck on Twitter off from the group who has migrated. You have deliberately misinterpreted what he said. Consider why you might have done so and why you think he wants to "fight racial equality [sic]." You've been hoodwinked into fighting a culture war that only one side is fighting. The same duped culture warriors who have been fighting against teaching about American history from the perspective of native Americans and slaves and have been fighting against some "war on Christmas" for the last two decades.
Not so popular one. Doesn't really matter because the annoyances happen on regular basis.
Just goofing around with it, ChatGPT does pretty well at that, I'm really impressed with this: https://imgur.com/a/lVcWbAH
Right but that doesn't mean they can't rebuild the engine for each race weekend.
I guess Twitch needs to die in a fire then because it's entire premise (live streaming video games) is doing exactly that. Showing off artists work without their explicit opt-in.
> If you did this in a randomised controlled trial, you might recruit 1000 patients, and randomise 500 to this new drug and 500 to placebo. If you ran the trial for a year, you might find 1% of the placebo arm died, and only 0.5% in the control arm. This demonstrates a risk reduction of 0.5%, or a NNT of 200.

That's because the only thing you've learned during the above trial is that it halves the death rate for one year. You have no idea what happens after that year. It could get better, worse, or the adverse effects would be worse than the cure.

Your assumption that that drug cuts the death rate beyond that single year is an assumption, not a fact.

> An NNT, by conventional teaching, is underwhelming.

As it should be. That's the only thing you can conclude from the trial.

> Is this the right way to think about it? ABSOLUTELY NOT! The high NNT is a consequence of a low event rate, NOT an ineffective therapy.

Yes. The absolute proven benefit is miniscule.

> In preventative medicine, where everyone will EVENTUALLY die of something (and 25% the thing you are looking at), it is the RELATIVE risk reduction (50% here, not 0.5%) that matters.

But you've only had a 1 year trial. Drugs often have long term adverse effects that dwarf the benefit.

As an example, when steroids were first discovered they were viewed as miracle drugs and given in massive doses. It didn't take long to understand the adverse effects were far worse than the symptoms it was treating. Today we are far more careful with steroids.

Similarly with Aspirin, or any number of very useful drugs.

So the question is what gives you the confidence to make any claims beyond what the trial showed?
I thought Musk and co did a decent job showing that both the Democrats and the Republicans both had access to the tools of censorship and used them at regular intervals. This should have been a nice time for everyone to come together against tool misuse - if everyone is guilty, then there is no need to pass judgement. Instead both sides are blaming one another (justifiably) while ignoring their own misuse (unjustifiably).
> Constructive logic is logic without the Law of Excluded Middle. It is the part of mathematics that is actually relevant to computing.

How so? How, specifically, does computing need the absence of the Law of Excluded Middle?

Just some light trolling, hopefully no GRRM fans get too mad at me for that :)

But yeah, Knuth's legitimate excuse is that he started writing the encyclopedia in the 1960s, when it was still conceivable that one multivolume work could cover all of the (at the time) small field of Computer Science.

But the 1970s and 1980s explosion made that fully impossible. We're lucky to get the chapters Knuth has written so far.

I strongly agree about the CRISPR babies. I'll eat my shirt if there aren't already hundreds if not thousands of CRISPR babies already, modified in secret.
As you're portraying believing in the hereafter as a cope for existential dread, you could say the opposite.

The disbeliever tries to ridicule the concept of an afterlife as to allievate the dread of being held accountable for their deeds on the day of judgement which would likely lead them to an eternal and painful hell.

In Islam, it's very clearly mentioned that each individual will be judged according to their deeds. There are two destinations possible paradise or hellfire.

Other religions that came before have often tried to tone down this reality by either removing accountability like Chrisitanity with the concept of Jesus (peace be upon him) having died for our sins or by simply removing the concept of an afterlife all together.

The Quran clearly tells us that many prophets were sent in the past with revelation but as time passed on they were falsified by people. In light of this, one could easily see how polytheistic religions came about.

In the end Islam is the last religion and it was intended to be preserved which makes it unlike any other religion in the world today. It has one book there a no multiple different versions. It is perfectly constructed and there are 0 inconsistencies and errors. No arab linguist can deny that.

Allah sent the previous prophets specifically for their nations however the last prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was sent for all mankind until the end of times.

Give the quran a read. https://quran.com
Do some research on the topic. YouTube is a great ressource for this.
Make your own opinion.

In light of this, I still want to invite you to become muslim. Islam answers all the questions Chrisitanity and other religions couldn't. Most importantly it will save you in the hereafter. I'd suggest putting your hand on a hot stove (not too hot) and ponder. Do you really want something like this for yourself and for eternity?
We've got a server that keeps rebooting due to a bad ECC DIMM chip. I thought the whole point of ECC was to keep the server going until we can replace the DIMM?
Your misrepresenting the actual content of the guide.
Mismatch in incentives and priority? My impression is that the FBI only has a team or two dedicated to these searches. However, it is much closer to their mandate to keep an eye out on election misinformation and otherwise "protect our democracy"
This is a satisfying and well-considered answer. I apologize for being a bit rude to you elsewhere in the thread; I do want you to succeed, but your avoidance of pointing out the missteps in leadership that caused this to happen or explaining why you laid off who you did for which reasons and how it won't ultimately hurt the project in the post & initial comment was a communications misstep.

It's still not as easy to develop for as IRC though.
Sveltekit will be big and will eat considerable React's share, at least for new projects
Replaceable batteries and "right to repair" features in general for consumer electronics are things a relatively fringe group of consumers actually want. Most people would prefer to simply replace a broken device or take it to a tech repair shop and have them do it: they aren't hackers or electronics tinkerers and simply don't care to do it.
Seems like the naming should be its own CI check (or a comment bot or something) rather than result in rejection by a human.
