A personal anecdote:

I use Instagram for my hobby/business (coin & paper money collecting & dealing). I have mercilessly curated my feed to be ONLY people who post content purely related to the numismatic world. No real-life friends, no travel posts from random semi-friends, no selfies, none of that garbage. If someone starts posting it, I unfollow them.

And for the ads -- I click on ads related to cat toys and pet food, just to let the algorithm know to feed me more of it.

SO: My instagram feed is 100% hobby-related posts & cats. I think I may be victorious (for the time being....).

PS: Stay AWAY from the "Explore" tab. That is an endless dopamine well of misery.

This is probably common in any counties that are hotbeds of crime, this doesn't sound entirely unlike Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona either, where he was just the head racist in charge of Sheriff Deputies' "us and them's" for almost a quarter of a century.

That ended with him being voted out finally and pardoned of ongoing lawsuits for years of racial profiling by the supreme racist in charge Donald Trump himself, but wonder who will bail Villaneuva and the cronies out now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Arpaio

Using a JIT seems different from creating a JIT, though, and doesn't seem to require compiler engineers. From what I understand this converts Ruby code directly into C object code? Or does it transpile to C and then compile it? Either way, transpiling doesn't seem as complicated as compiling.
Legally it is very hard for a Mexican to move to the Midwest. As in almost impossible requiring almost 20years.

I am not Mexican but it toke my family 14 years to be able to move to the US from Palestine, although my grandparents and uncles have been here since the 80s. It really isn't hard.

A company doesn't need to move everything, they can just literally build a new factory or rent one else where, not only that they would even get tax breaks as incentives for moving.

It’s worse than that, even, because it’s believed there are no Fermat primes at all after 65,537. It’s one of the few cases of a conjecture being (with very high probability) 100 percent wrong.
Well for billions of users, it's very hard for them to quit a digital drug like Instagram when the feverish notifications, updates and posts are tempting cold turkeys everywhere resisting the urge to log in to the app.

There is a reason why Meta has spent millions on psychologists studying on ways to hook in users and increase screen time, scrolling and getting more people addicted to Instagram; hence the billions of users having difficulty deleting the app.

Even if they do, they end up re-installing it and logging back in again to scroll up for the entire day about what they missed, then the addiction cycle continues.
I disagree. Throttling concerns the actual operation of the network. Zero-rating concerns prices and billing.

The former involves things that are specific to networks so it makes sense to have network specific regulations to cover them. There's nothing really network specific about the kind of concerns people raise over zero-rating so there isn't a need to handle them different than we handle pricing and billing concerns in everything else.
Wanting to be competent is definitely not right wing.

My wife convinced me to install Instagram so she could send me videos of stuff. My experience was that at first it was annoying, then I found out I could follow some cool hobbyist folks working on cars, old computer systems, electronics, and of course all the mechanical keyboard content, as well as travel (I'm an extensive world traveler and used to post travel content on Instagram over 5 years ago) and I got sucked in. I started getting recommendations for comedy shorts and cat/dog videos which I enjoyed, and pretty soon I had a list of subscriptions which made it possible to scroll for hours watching videos which interest me without repeats.

The problem became:

1. Ads, the ads are bad because they're well targeted and mostly for things which are unnecessary or scams/knockoffs. I found myself buying things I didn't need from dubious brands.

2. Thots. Maybe because I'm a male between 25-50 or something, but even though I subscribe to 0 people on Instagram that qualify as thots, my feed started getting filled with women using Instagram to advertise their OF/services. Usually these seem cross-recommended as related to comedy shorts, cosplay/gaming, or cars, but aren't really any of those things.

3. Notifications. Instagram generates unnecessary notifications which ends up driving you back into the app, especially if you are like me and require there to be no number badges on any apps on your phone to eliminate FOMO anxiety.

The net effect was that I talked with my wife and deleted the app. It was the only social media app I've attempted to use in the last 3 years, and it lasted about 30 days before I felt it was necessary to delete it once again. I had used Instagram from 2015-2017, but had deleted it in 2017 previously. It's gotten much worse, and even in 2017 I felt it was unhealthy.

The thing is, I'm pretty sure Instagram is "better" (in the sense of less bad) than TikTok and many other apps that are more popular.

You did, actually; you said that OpenBSD just "really really really hopes" that an attacker won't get root, and I pointed out that that was nonsense and that they are in fact taking measures to ensure it.

Besides, by that logic, your systems are totally insecure because you're just really really really hoping the attacker doesn't get an unconfined process.

Has anyone looked at modernizing NNTP in the past decade?
IANAL but the short answer is yes. Slightly longest answer is probably, but they'd have to convince a judge that this camera has something worthwhile compared to any other cameras on that street. Somewhat paradoxically the more of your neighbors have things like Ring the "safer" you are from something like this.
Academic robes and hoods were originally practical for keeping you warm in a freezing university. I can't imagine churches or abbeys were particularly well heated either. Another advantage of robes (or kimonos) is they can trap heat from external sources.
It comes standard on iOS. "Screen time" under settings.
Forums are not great for usability though.

You need a unique login for every forum, notifications are a mess and usually via email, the UIs are poor and difficult to use, every forum usually has a different theme with different locations for buttons and settings, there's no real time way to communicate so everything takes forever, and everyone has stupid profile footers in their posts that make you scroll twice as much as you should have to.

There are also bugs like quoting a post that has images reposts all of the images again and creates even more pointless scrolling. Or forums that lack even basic image resizing so someone uploads their 24MP photos and it goes way off the side of the screen and makes the post take ages to load.

I'm sure it could all be fixed somehow, but current stuff is just awful and I absolutely dislike interacting with forums.
It also needs to be compared with the known negative effects of foods saturated in high fructose corn syrup.

I think it's becoming more popular in foods lately b/c of its relative lack of aftertaste but it does cause gastric distress in larger amounts and a healthy gut biome is linked to a bunch of other benefits.

There should always be concern for long term black swan style effects esp for the new hotness but by definition these unknown unknowns can never be fully eliminated.

From the article…

“ The Washington state House of Representatives late Monday passed a bill that would legalize duplexes or fourplexes in almost every neighborhood of every city in Washington, potentially bringing an end to local zoning rules that limit large swaths of cities to only single-family homes.”

This is to increase the housing supply. It looks like it is simply going to erase the distinction between single-unit and multiple-unit residential zoning so that developers could put in either in any area designated as residential.

this would still need to pass the Senate and similar bills have failed to pass in recent years.
We should add 2021 to the title. A lot has changed since then.

California has passed a bunch of laws to address this. Some of these passed before 2021 but the effects are only being felt now.

For example: each town or city is required to file a housing element with the state showing how they will meet their quota for increased units. Failing to do so was given teeth in the late 2010s and the targets got a lot higher. Now when a town falls out of compliance the so-called "builder's remedy" comes into effect. This means a court can approve projects bypassing pretty much all local zoning, planning ordinances, review processes and environmental review (ie CEQA) as long as it meets certain requirements (eg 20% "affordable" housing).

Santa Monica fell out of compliance and had courts approve 4000+ new units. it' remains to be seen how many will actually be built but it's a start.

Much of the Bay Area is currently out of compliance or at risk of being out of compliance.

All the while you'll see the same arguments. Something as simple as townhouses or multi-family dwellings will "ruin the character". NIMBY supported councils trying to fight state requirements, etc.

But this is only one of many pieces of legislation. Others include automatic approval for higher density housing with a sufficient right-of-way (70' IIRC), easier approval for building residential over commercial (something that is illegal in most of the US), etc.

My sincere hope that there will be enough support for this to ultimately repeal Prop 13. It's estimated this has cost the state hundreds of billions of dollars and represents a massive giveaway to the states richest residents.
Instagram has added a word list feature that allows you to hide posts by keyword. This has been very useful to hide politics and topics I find negative. It's also much better without following influencers.

Absolutely not. Which is why it's distressing that Google Groups seems to be getting less reliable as a listserv, I don't want to do it myself.
Yeah, I don't think most people object to Ring video potentially being used by LE (I'm sure there are some though). I think the biggest complaint is the complete lack of due process and even the lack of notifying anyone when their footage is used.

> Every time there has been mass unorganized migration it has been a humanitarian disaster

Are all of these unorganized, mass migrations disasters? Or are they in response to disasters?

Most organized mass migrations have been disasters. Forced relocations aren’t fun.

But unorganized mass migrations, where people say “let’s get out of this place and go somewhere better” tend to mitigate pre-existing disasters.
Can you clarify what you mean here? What state is in DOM? Do you mean the state inherent in input elements? What timing hacks are you talking about?
We wanted to send help from day one but we were afraid because Putin in its famous speech when announcing the war threatened using nuclear bombs against any country that would help Ukraine. So we had to start small.

The alternative is that we are afraid, we do nothing, and once Putin finishes off with Ukraine, he is ready to invade the ex-Eastern bloc countries, and then go further West. Because if everybody is afraid, who is going to stop him?

Jira is a 20 years old piece of software. I'm sure today's engineers do their best with the constraints they have. And I'm sure the 2002 engineers did their best with this period's assumptions and solutions.

OpenAI isn’t running a charity. This “free” service is going to run into that reality sooner or later, so I’d suggest not using it for any real work and instead buying Whisper API tokens directly.
Maybe, but that's not the only reason. Borders are also enforced because you can't have open borders and social welfare programs.

I suggest you to re-read Diaconis paper, you might get what I’m getting at. It looks like a proper math paper with proper exposition.
This piece is an op-ed, not straight reporting.

Tyler Cowen, its author, is a noted economist (with libertarian leanings), and he favors competition in many forms. Anyone curious about him and his views should read his blog Marginal Revolution and listen to his podcast. They're both smart:

https://marginalrevolution.com/

https://conversationswithtyler.com/

Tyler has written extensively about stagnation in the American economy. Part of that stagnation is the decreasing mobility of Americans.

I very much agree with him that governments should compete for residents, especially the right kind of residents.

It takes hard work to build a successful city.

If we look at San Francisco, we see a city that has done everything it can to drive away many residents, and in so doing, destroyed its tax base, leading to a budget crisis. A great lesson in what not to do!

Why should there not be a market for talent, where the towns and cities of America compete to make themselves more livable, better centers of serendipity, better providers of public services? That sounds great to me.

In an earlier America, some cities took this mandate very seriously. For anyone curious, Stanley Marcus of Neiman Marcus tells the story of about the leaders of Dallas deliberately made it attractive to early residents in order to build their town. His biographical book is called "Minding the Store."
Yeah, I noticed that also. I will watch from the sidelines for now.
This is a major problem for me in exams, which are usually timed. That's somewhat unfair, because in many jobs being right is more important than being quick.

I did read the whole article. It was your comments that confused me. Maybe I just don’t understand what you’re saying, or maybe you’re just bad at explaining things clearly. I’m not sure. You are free to either clarify your point, or mock me for not understanding what you wrote, and it sounds like you’re choosing the second option.

But for all these things is there any evidence that industry knew things which the government did not? I think for all these things you will find government funded research had already discovered the problems by the time industry funded research did. So the overwhelming issue is that government failed to fix the problems that the government funded research found.
If I understand correctly from looking at the Dutch, this can be addressed through water engineering- specifically, building walls, pumping low land, and managing overflow. If you're a megacity you have the resources to pursue such large-scale projects.
It's crowd-sourced. If there are gmail users that have marked traffic from that group as spam, it is spam. Doing anything else would violate the neutrality of Google with respect to classification, and probably upset eurocrats of various flavors.
> ignores the central reason for governments to enact borders […:] so that labor cannot effectively organise.

You’re going to have to show up with some evidence for this claim. You’re not asserting that the outcome is a byproduct of borders, a happy accident useful to businesses. You’re asserting that the driving reason for the concept of a border is for businesses to disrupt organized labor.
Amazon does a lot of business with the government. They have very little to gain over fighting about handing over video footage like this, and a lot to lose.
> GitHub is wonderful now but fundamentally proprietary, same as Google Groups, and FOSS software forges like sourcehut are making great progress.

It may be impossible to imagine now, but a similarly craptaculous outcome for GitHub should not be ruled out. Back when SourceForge was revered as the be-all, end-all of open source development, few could imagine a future in which the service just kept getting worse and worse.
I second that. A colleague recently retired and gave me a box of 3.5"s.
Elite: Encoding Visual Concepts into Textual Embeddings for Text-to-Image
For sure. I was just bringing numbers to support the >25% number claimed higher, and that it is not a matter of visibility. I frequently find people seem to think the homeless are simply more visible in California.

Also didn't want to copy paste the whole page, thinking people here know that California's population is nowhere near half or even 30% of the US population. The link I shared has on page 16 a map that addresses your point, and also on the same page:

• California also had the highest rate of homelessness, with 44 people experiencing homelessness out of every 10,000 people in the state.

The link you posted is interesting. It does take numbers form a variety of different sources and it is difficult to know if the methodologies are always comparable. That page uses HUD numbers (and the map I am pointing to) as one of the sources. The states ranking it gives for homeless per capita is from 2019 (prepandemic), and different from the one HUD has in their latest report.
> there are ~no upsides for political leaders who actually work to attract more residents to an area.

The article is about attracting more wealthy residents to an area. It doesn't say it that directly, but it does directly reference the new work-from-home upper-middle-class, and how they can live anywhere now.

I don't think the indirectness is being sneaky, it's more trying to be polite.
