there's no money to be made in interoperability. did you RTFM? they clearly state they are not getting support on the core services while third parties just build out bridges where they see it beneficial to them.
Who better than the US government to understand how social media can be used to manipulate the masses to support a specific agenda. Or maybe we're different :)
Why in the world would anybody use Matrix if you made it closed-source (as you've so cleverly disguised it, """open""" core)? I use it daily to talk to pretty much everyone I know. It isn't as good as other open-core messaging projects. You guys based your entire value pitch on "OtherPlatform but Actually in the Spirit of Open Source."

You aren't as good as Signal at being secure.

You aren't as good as Telegram at being useful or comfortable, and you're especially not as good for groups.

Signal is in practice open core, given how little they do source releases of the server. Telegram keeps their clients open source, mostly, but not the server.

The value you provide is from the fact that it's open source and also easy to develop for, but you aren't even as easy to develop for as IRC.

Laying in bed with the wolves of capitalism is stupid for a project like yours. Bid on government projects and grants, fundraise based on features, or figure out projects that benefit from economies of scale that would leave you competitive (P2P Matrix dedicated hardware would be an easy sell to some governments and much of your audience) while not closed. Don't fool yourself into thinking destroying the thing that makes your creation valuable is the way to succeed. It's not.

If you've already started with layoffs, the damage might already be done.
I suspect that contract / tort law would cover this situation already in many jurisdictions. There's a contract to hire the OP and I'm guessing that contract didn't have language about rescinding the contract (my Amazon contract did not), only about being an employmee-at-will. Such a clause would probably allow an employer to fire the person once they are hired, but likely wouldn't let them get out of a contract to hire the person first. If I were the OP I would talk to a lawyer and get them to negotiate payment of all actual damages rather than the 1 month pay offer on the basis that this is possibly either fraud or breach of contract. I am not a lawyer, but I LARP as one sometimes.
Ahh, I guess what I meant to say was that in olden days the optical version of this was called an opaque projector.
You have it exactly backwards. Anyone who claims to be objective is either bullshitting you or so naive as to be unreliable. Neither case is a person you want to empower.

Anyone who claims to be "neutral" is in fact declaring their own apathy towards a topic, and when that topic is "should a specific group of people have civil rights" then neutrality is ethically disgusting. I'm personally apathetic regarding whether some money-collecting company wants to work for AI people, so I don't really care about Kickstarter's policy here, and I don't foresee myself caring in the future. Pretending that Kickstarter is a power broker of some kind is in my estimation some serious Chicken Little territory.

"Aspiring" to either objectivity or neutrality is not the same thing as actually manifesting either quality, and such aspirations generally involve disclosing conflicts of interest or other biases, which are things every living person has. Wrapping either concept in other weasel words doesn't really move the needle.
Correct. It auto copies the code if the TOTP secret key has been set for that item.

Google, with the monopoly profits it commands in search, can afford to subsidize everything else. A startup that does one thing cannot.
They already try to sell it as a subscription.
So you don't pay for the lightbulb itself, but for the service that there is light.
It is kind of a ridiculous concept for private customers. There have been some Phillips light bulbs with an app and subscription, that supposedly achieve this. I don't know what happened to it, but was in sheer disbelief, when it was explained to me. There are some other companies, which offer something similar.
It may make sense for big installations, that change quite often and I certainly would subscribe to some Christmas led light installation for some time.

But having ones home light based on a subscription and not actually owning it, is very strange to me.
Nvidia to Kill Off Gamestream
How do you keep Tailscale from destroying your battery on iOS? I am trying to do this but it always kills my battery and it’s a pain to only enable and manually sync Bitwarden.
Not in my experience. I've been using the same window manager and the same applications since before my current distro existed.
A bunch of mess, ha. Most repos are private since I use them as internals at my current employer. It does show daily pushes of new code, wether that counts or not. I feel weird leaving public repos there for any tutorials I have done and learning/practicing.
> in many schools parents are supposed to buy the Chromebooks that then get used during lessons. Your administrator is not always the owner of the device!

Which should be illegal. If the parents have to pay for a Chromebook, then the parents should have final control over it, not the school district.
I truly don't understand this argument.

First of all, people post extremely niche and personal content on their social media feeds. Heck, my own Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram feeds are mostly comprised of stuff on the same level of quirky ingenuity of the early web. So if your issue is with the presence of this type of "content", then I really don't see it.

Secondly you might argue, like many others, that the true problem is not that the content is here, but it's not the norm. It's not the norm to have a website, it's not the norm to be fragile and personal and quirky online. But even if that were the case, why do you care? There is more "90s-style" content today that there were in the 90s. You don't have enough time to live on this earth to read it all. Do you care if "in proportion" they don't make up the same share of the total webpages like they once did? Doesn't the sheer number of them not satisfy you enough?

That I am going to have an awesome year and do everything in my power to make it so.

I am not sure exactly how or what yet, I haven't managed to wrap my mind around what that means, but I am just going to go for it. Not in a way that I have too much pressure on myself but in a way that when the year ends, I will know I did everything I could to make it awesome and did everything I could to grown and improve personally.
Do the practitioners agree with that?

(I don't know, and I don't have a dog in this fight, being neither a practitioner nor a logician. I'm asking because, following the thread of the discussion, I could easily see a logician saying "Of course this will make it easier for the practitioners" about something that, in actual practice, the practitioners don't care about at all.)
So, is your view that there are not enough rug-pulls and scams on Kickstarter already so we need this pseudo-decentralization?
I think Nivenkos did a better job than most, but actually I think alkonaut did a bit better from a quick skim: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29747250

* Nivenkos predicted that Omicron would create natural immunity to COVID, but I think alkonaut's prediction was more nuanced/accurate: that organized responses end and there are new variants that we live with (although there has been a greater level of immune escape than expected, nothing has run away... so far). Note, that while down dramatically from the peak we are at a steady state for most of the year where 500 people in the US (and about the same number in the EU) die every day from COVID [1], just no one cares now.

* alkonaut's Russia prediction correctly covers Russian annexation of Eastern Ukraine, intense conflict w/ many more Russian casualties than expected, the SWIFT and petroleum price responses and the huge role that UAVs would play in the conflict. What he missed was actually just how well Ukraine would do (no Russian victory in sight) and how successful/effective Ukraine's infowar/strategic game would be. That, the scale of Russian losses, and the huge amount of OSINT has prevented Russia from any of the narrative control people might have expected.

* Republicans by all accounts should have curb-stomped Dems during the mid-terms, but Roe v Wade ended up being a big own-goal that prevented that.

* alkonaut's prediction that "Boris Johnson is ousted as prime minster. He is replaced by a either a man of some charisma or a woman without charisma, as that is the requirement" was also quite insightful.

You are not the one making the trade offs. The manufacturer is. When they realize that certain anti-consumer features that are not readily appreciated at the point of purchase are possible, they get implemented, even if the benefits you get in return are minimal and often more fig leave than anything else.

Replaceable batteries and SD Cards are prototypical for features that extend a phones useful life, but whose absence doesn't get punished because our purchase decisions don't factor in things we might wish to have in two years time.

And manufacturers have no incentive to extend useful life.

If long term consumer preferences really would drive phone design then 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?
Even if flagged, isn't that just a -1? I've seen grey posts return to dark after an upvote before.

Markets and business economics do not change that fast where there should be a need to rescind offers in a properly managed company. Amazon clearly has major management problems.
> the effect is that companies have to be slower to hire when firing is that much harder.

Sounds like EU labor policy causes a set of effects resulting in a kind of equilibrium, perhaps a Nash Equilibrium.

Are you aware that the paradox of tolerance is a PARADOX? Most people quoting Popper online to promote censorship forget that part.

What to Expect When You’re Expecting GPT-4
On a simpler level everyone "gets" that their work email ends with @company.tld and their personal ends with @gmail.com. Heck we all say "at" for @ so it's easy to grasp that signing up for that involves going to these domains.

Hell I explained this to my elderly mother and she got the idea straight away. So no I don't see how the confusion is obvious.
I think the metaphor still works.

A lack of hammer implies only having a screwdriver.

The point is you should have a tool box (and garage and workshop and spare bedroom) full of tools so you have the exact tool you actually need.

What the Phillips head and pozidrive represent in this metaphor are left as an exercise for the reader. As is the adjustable spanner.
The FBI/CIA was censoring rando Americans for stupid jokes and everything in between that and real journalists covering real stories that the FBI didn’t want ran. It was bad.
Ironically, this data dump could prove particularly useful for me.

I have a Twitter account for which I no longer remember the username, and have lost the password. It is, and has been for years, impossible to recover the account, because of a circular dependency in the lost password / account recovery form. I've been tweeting at Twitter Support for years with no avail.

Looks like I can just search this data for my email address and find out what the account name is.
There are hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of people who do not regard Saudi oppression as "perfectly fine" regardless of which chemicals they offer for sale. I don't really accept this counterargument, since overlooking human rights abuses is one of the most common complaints about organizations like the UN, the United States government, and countless other political bodies.

As far as your second paragraph, in your framework society never really worked, which conveniently explains why there has always been war in some part of the world as far back as anyone can remember.
Cooperation here means that they were enforcing their existing terms of service. That’s very different from legal compulsion.
Maybe I'm dating myself...but how different is this, really, from stuff that was routine back in the days of J Edgar Hoover (FBI Director, 1935-1972)? Other than "with computers and the internet" instead of "with paper files and typewriters"?

Idealistic youthful utopianism, techno- or otherwise, does not change human nature. And ignorance of history is a really poor recipe for long-term success.

>Can China afford a slow economic burn while it blockades Taiwan for ambiguous gains?

Every year this becomes increasingly the wrong question to ask.

Who is going to blockade PRC? US?

Entire Malacca dilemma / anxiety / blockade scenario from 10+ years ago was underpinned by US having full naval escalation dominance with CONUS impunity because adversaries had no technical means to meaningfully undermine US homefront.

That leverage has essentially eroded with PRC ICBMs being able to conventional strike against CONUS infra in the last few years. PRC can simply run blockade and dare US to enforce by threatening to hit 130 refineries that sustains US existential viability. Fortress America era that has worked in US favour for 200+ years is over (vis a vis increasing PRC peer capabilities), if both PRC and US critical infra gets reset to zero, neither country has energy mix options or ag production (which depends on inputs derived from oil) that can even marginally sustain current society. The same ability to CONUS strikes also threatens major military capital projection assets.

The geostrategic reality when big bois have increasingly precise conventional long range strikes is US becomes Saudi Arabia, all the domestic production doesn't matter if you can't protect it against motivated advesary that has capbility to strike your extraction infra. PRC will guarantee continued SLOC access by guaranteeing US won't have access to any energy or calories if it attempts to to deny like access to PRC.

The pertinent question now is:

Can US afford an existential war with PRC for ambiguous gains? Medium/long term PRC incentive is stacked towards gambling an existential fightng US (using TW as proxy) to kick US out of PRC back yard, vs US who can afford to retreat to CONUS and pull strings as offshore balancer with intact navy and society at much less relative cost. US, by virtue of being hegemon has much more to lose if she gambles to lose everything versus foregoing something. VS PRC has everything to gain in TW scenario while long term game theory for worst case scenario is converging towards pyrrhic victory for US that would deter substantial US intervention at all.
That's equally true for PoW. Get 51% to make the change and your altered chain will even have the most accumulated difficulty.

Should have set easter at the winter solstice, as that's the traditional spot for rebirth festival (think Sol Invictus) and leave the regular birth in the spring with all the other fertility festivals. I don't know what they were thinking, but we're stuck with it now, unless someone wants to engineer another fork over this issue.
I'd say it's supporting artists! They're being compensated for training a dataset, instead of having their work grabbed for "fair use", which is a thing I feel needs to be redefined when you can scrape the entire Internet and do this kind of thing.
Whatever the goals they derive from previous, less dangerous eras, where there was always at least a hope that an oppressed or abused segment of the population could escape: migrate, revolt, strike, whatever

We are entering a dystopic regime where our famous pale blue dot planet acts more as a mousetrap, where we play out an arms race of surveillance, advanced weaponry automation, psychological warfare and misinformation.

Human nature to help one another doesn't exist because of capitalism though. In tight-knit Amish communities for example, communities come together and help each other out. Or under feudalism, for example, I'm sure people still helped out other people with no coercion from time to time.
> Amazon as a multi-national, multi-billion dollar company can absorb the expense of employing him.

That is a very charitable opinion. The idea that because a company is large enough, or profitable enough, that it therefore should be compelled to hire indefinitely, or never shrink in size.

Let me ask, is it your opinion that economies only ever grow forward, that companies in the economy never shrink?
> What if AI drops the cost of generating a computer program to the basement where it belongs, and programmers will be paid minimum wage? Would you be so content then?

I'd be more than happy to get rid of the "programmers" that are generating the same quality code as Copilot. Engineers are employed to translate human needs into tangible system designs, that they have to write code to do so is mostly an artefact of our current system-building methodology. In fact, I would be immensely happy if I could get rid of that part.

Funny, I’d say it was people that can’t seem to cite any evidence without dick pics that are “muddying the waters”.

I’ve read these twitter files posts from Taibbi and Weiss. It’s all insinuations based on contact between government agencies and twitter. The actual content being discussed is not interesting.

The biggest red flag this is all raising for me is why FBI agents are sitting around searching for small time election misinformation like talking about voting a day late. Is there nothing higher priority to work on? And how has twitter not automated finding such basic misinformation?

> Mastodon is missing some necessary affordances; in particular the Quote Tweet, said to be crucial to #BlackTwitter culture

Emphasis mine. I don't think he wants to help fight racial equality. He just want to fight for a subset of black Twitter nerds, and from his ivory tower he equates them with an entire ethnicity. Then wonders if Mastodon, lacking Quote Tweets is unethical because how can black people communicate then?!

Spoiler alert, the black racial struggle is bigger than Afro-American nerds identifying with an hashtag on Twitter, with a deep love for quoting tweets.
