"Breaking down polarization ratings by ORES article topic areas, "we cannot see differences among macro topics". This "general trend" was also found for the top 10 (sub-)topic areas and the top 10 Wikiprojects, although with "minor shifts [...]. For example, the topic sports has a higher conservative-leaning fraction of citations, all the while maintaining a liberal-leaning skew. The WikiProjects Politics and India are more liberal-leaning than the average, instead. Taken together, these results confirm that the overall trend towards liberal political polarization is not specific to some areas of Wikipedia, but seems to be widespread across topics and WikiProjects.""

In what way does your theory explain that sport articles should reflect a leftist world view?
That chart of energy generation additions for 2023 is honestly staggering. I know there've been articles about how much cheaper solar/wind are than coal, but finally seeing no new coal, and in fact an overall reduction, is jaw dropping. The game has changed drastically in just a few years.
As high as that is, it looks like the price of gas in SF is (relatively) even higher. $4.50 a therm per Google, or $0.15/kWh. A heat pump would only need a COP of 35/15=2.33 to be a better deal (very likely since it will never be that cold in SF, and you get air conditioning for the very few days you might want it).
Agreed. Also think Elm could benefit a lot from good interop with Wasm.
no, i was around in the elm community at the time, and what people wanted to fork for was a better way to support native js code in their own projects. there was a bit more to it than just adding filenames to a whitelist.

I was a teenager in the 80s. It’s hard to say how similar these events are, at least to me.

Information and and disinformation travels so much faster and so much more thoroughly these days that it’s hard to compare.

For example, in the 80s, I couldn’t even tell you what Russia looked like through photographs. there was just very little available information.

There was a big gray outline of the Soviet union on my high school history class wall, and that was about it. I had seen a few pictures of the Kremlin …the onion domes and what not. And maybe I had seen one photo of Brezhnev shown every so often on the news, but that was about it.

It’s amazing how much things have changed as far as the wealth of information is concerned.

So I’m not really answering your question, but the sheer magnitude of the lack of information … let’s say about four decades ago… is something that I really don’t see pointed out much so I thought you might find it interesting.

So in the 80s, the Soviet union was worrisome for the most part. But mostly it was just the blackest of black boxes to me.

Edits: sorry… numerous typos…typing on treadmill.
Given how much effort has been spent in shoving Javascript into places it doesn't belong solely so that programmers don't have to learn something else, that seems to be more true than not.

As an intermediary in 2020, you're likely to see a lot of people target you in various ways because they don't like things that people are using your platform for. They may threaten you with lawsuits, complaints to law enforcement, boycotts, DDoS, trying to get your payment relationships cut off, trying to get your other platform providers to cut you off, etc. If your platform has a high profile or is used to sell something high-profile, journalists and politicians may publicly second-guess your content decisions (both things that you did remove and things that you didn't remove).

I don't want to alarm you about this, but it would be nice if you could figure out any content and moderation policies ahead of time, explain them clearly to prospective sellers, and then see if you can stick to them when other people disagree with them.

Seems a bit prophetic - at least for the need for content moderation policies (and maybe not so much grandfathering)

My team runs incident drills as part of our training. The person running the drill (the instructor) breaks something in our pre-production environment. This could be pushing a buggy PR, changing some configuration, taking a node offline, etc. The instructor and the learner then hop in a video call. The learner shares their screen, then works through the incident with help from the instructor. They acknowledge the incident in our management tool, use logs and metrics to track it down, take steps to mitigate it, then mark the incident as mitigated in our management tool.

This builds skills and confidence for the learner, and has the additional benefit of exposing pain points in our tooling.

NYTimes is both vetted and timely which completely changes the value proposition.

Medium has a very different and inherently lower value proposition. It needs to get people to read and value old content.
I think it’s just that the web map viewer is a new product and that feature hasn’t been implemented yet (but I’m not on that team and don’t know their roadmap). And it’s not really a paywall thing since the personal use license gets you both online and desktop apps including Pro.

isn't that a bit of an exaggeration, especially if you have experience with other functional languages? maybe if you've only ever written JavaScript prior to trying Elm…
Congrats on still sticking to the idea of monetizing via payments vs throwing ads everywhere. This and your reply here is a rare positive signal coming from Medium nowadays.

A few personal observations:

1. For a paywalled service, quality is everything. When seeing medium.com in the URL, my expectation is that on average I will see low quality writing, that is forming its own character now, somewhat similar to LinkedIN [1] (exceptions exist but are invisible). Have you considered paywall to post, even as low as $1/mo as a content quality filter?

2. There is no reason for a 16k character article to require 6.5MB of data to render. (looking at a random article from the home page [2]). I hear that Medium has an optimized writing experience, why not have an optimized reading experience too?

3. Do you wish Medium became what Substack did, and if no, what is your vision for it? Why should one use Medium as an author or as a reader?

As a random HN visitor that clicks links to Medium from here, it’s been a while since visiting Medium has become the following experience for me.

First I click a couple of, let’s say, “why X is dead” links, then I start getting the message “You have Y free articles left this month”. Then I’m thinking, okay, the “X ded” articles were meh anyway, why would I even subscribe then? Somewhere in this scenario the incentive to subscribe is missing for me. Maybe there’s a world of cool articles out there, but from visiting a random article with the “you have Y articles left” popup they cannot be seen. Just my two cents!

That’s probably a chicken/egg problem, and I don’t know how I would even begin to untangle it if I were you. But I hope you will! Best of luck and thank you for the interesting remarks :)
>If we peel back those layers then what is remaining?

A really miserable process of being sick.
The Navy has a patent on creating fake UFOs that appear on radar and other sensors so that seems like a perfectly logical explanation. It would also explain why the Navy disproportionately sees the UFOs when compared to the Air Force.

> Be that as it may, heat pumps at this time are cost prohibitive.

They range from sub-$1K single zone air-to-air wall/window units, to multizone split units, to ground source hydronic boiler/chillers that integrate with baseboard or radiant floors, which can get quite expensive to install, but that's at the high end. Generally speaking they're not really much more expensive than normal air conditioning. I've seen units that come in cooling-only and heating+cooling versions, and the cost difference is marginal (<10%) in those cases.

My comment has nothing to do with that - the city council has been a joke for decades. Their strategy up until now was literally "just slow down the process of giving building permits, that way growth will happen at a reasonable pace". We can see how well that played out haha.
Cool thanks for explaining!
> No crazy analysis needed.

That's unnecessarily pejorative. Presenting something as evidence, requires some amount of rigor. This is why an in-depth analysis is valued. Presenting as strong a case as possible for either side, is the method by which we can best decide on what is known.

> Regardless I think the simplest counter argument is that if that were really the case, you'd see these damn things on every flight facing the sun and people would know to ignore them

I don't believe that's a counter-argument, as it applies to both conclusions. A unique coincidence does not imply it's common. ie If the gimbal video was a UFO, you'd see these damn things on every flight, etc.

> Lens flares also don't show up on radar and on pilot's eyes.

Mick West's analysis video does not contend that the object is only a lens flare, but an object with a lens flare (or lens artifact) overlaying it. There is no dispute that the pilots saw a group of objects with targeting information on a singular physical object from the video source.
IME (which is limited but includes (in the past) Arm fwiw) developer relations/outreach/application engineering is done by people with an engineering background primarily, not a marketing one.

There is a huge difference between the NYTimes and Medium. For readers, the content on Medium is fungible: if it goes away today, it's easily replaceable by the 100 other user driven sites like it. I'm not saying that the content on Medium is bad, but it's easily replaceable.

The NYTimes provides a level of journalism that is not easily replaceable by letting a bunch of random people blog. That's why their subscription works. True there are other journalism sites. But there are also many actors, but only one Tom Cruise; the NYTimes is like Tom Cruise, which is why he is paid so much. Medium is more like an unknown actor that is good but there are 100 waiting to replace him.
Funniest AML thing I ever did. Went to open a new account in the app, it's like sorry you haven't verified your identity can't do it through the app. Okay. Walk into a branch, ask to make a new account. They're like nah, you need to come back with proof of where you live before we can verify your identity. I'm literally standing in front of you. With ID. I already have 3 accounts, what's a 4th?
This. I never felt recommendations were a problem. I stopped reading medium articles once everything was behind a paywall. When most content is mediocre at best, paywalls aren’t helpful.

> Firefox developers started porting components from XUL to HTML5

More specifically, Firefox's UI wasn't just ported to HTML5, but to web components. This means much of two of the three major browsers (also parts of Chrome and Chrome OS) are using web components for the UI.

Part of what enabled a move from XUL was that HTML finally got custom elements, where XUL/XBL had had custom components for a long time.

The EFF made a very compelling case:

“The YouTube website code at issue in this case is different: it was not clearly designed to limit access to videos, or the ability to copy them. YouTube videos arrive at a viewer’s device with no encryption or scrambling. No login, password, key, or other secret knowledge is required to gain access.
“Tellingly, YouTube does use encryption and a password-controlled login to limit access to subscribers of its separate pay-TV service, YouTube TV,” EFF adds.

The article expands:
"According to EFF, Yout and similar tools provide the same functions as video cassette recorders once did. They allow people to make copies of videos that are posted publicly by their creators.
In addition, these tools are vital for some reporters and useful to creatives who use them for future work."

But they missed an opportunity:

Does DCMA outlaw the manufacturer of DVD burners or Cassette recorders ?

Clearly, the RIAA doesn't think so, since they haven't sued?

I think questions will be different once we can pose human questions rather than weird cryptic search terms to trick an information retrieval system into finding text blobs that might be relevant. For instance instead of searching for “George Washington” I could ask “What did George Washington write in his journals about the continental congress?” I wouldn’t expect this answer to be precomputed. FYI ChatGPT answered that he didn’t keep journals about this, which I know to be true despite being a prolific journal keeper. It answered he did however write letters and they were about his personal affairs but also his inspiration about American independence d. I then asked it who he wrote to. It provided a bunch of folks, including General Gates, which is all correct. I then asked it details on what Gates and Washington discussed. Etc. The value isn’t that it can summarize a biography of George Washington. The value is I can get a direct answer to my direct questions, then refine my questions to the depth and subjects I’m interested in. Information retrieval systems can just give me potentially relevant text blobs I need to sift, parse, and analyze with iterative queries until I give up in disgust at the state of SEO.

Heh, and similarly:

> I don't have digital content to sell, so I have no stake here whatsoever, but this response seems concerning. I have no problem with startups building a functional prototype without getting an army of lawyers involved. But you should then have a good gut sense that you're doing something that's pretty safe. This business model, as broad as it's positioned, clearly isn't. How can that ever be so much of an afterthought as here demonstrated? Does that also mean that the pricing is based on not factoring in the risk (penalties, legal costs) of selling copyrighted or restricted materials? Does it factor in the moderation that needs to happen?

> Now a similar thing is happening with Firefox Android and their extensions. Firefox can easily run most extensions but it's hidden behind a config in a canary release of the browser. No doubt there are some good reasons for it but we simply do not know. Ultimately this is a fault common among almost every product designer. They refuse to explain their decisions fearing (perhaps justly) that they may be proven wrong.

There were no good reasons for Mozilla to restrict extensions on Firefox for Android. It was a stupid decision that alienated Firefox's user base on Android with no real benefits.

However, Mozilla has finally listened to the negative feedback and custom add-on collections are now available on Firefox Beta for Android:

https://www.ghacks.net/2022/10/20/firefox-beta-for-android-n...

Mozilla also said they would start working on WebExtensions on Firefox for Android this year. The goal is to have feature parity with desktop Firefox, which includes retaining the Manifest v2 features that uBlock Origin uses:

https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2022/12/15/new-extensions-av...

While Mozilla has made numerous missteps in the past, it looks like they're finally moving in the right direction.

It won't happen over night, of course there will be a temporary boost in revenue when one decides to force everyone that visits the site to pay.

How much of that is from existing NYTimes subscribers, marketing tactics (eg. wordle), shady subscription offer deals, forgotten subscriptions, and lack of suitable competition.

Over time though that withers and once that withering starts, nothing brings it back.
