> Most of the Westerners who can stand that sort of thing are already watching it.

This is a matter of exposure and habituation.

I remember 6-7 years ago when I used sticker packs in KakaoTalk and Line, Western friends were baffled by all the silliness. Now they're all the rage on Telegram & co.

I remember when Western friends rejected Korean pop music as too artificial and commercial vs. the "more authentic" Western pop. Now Kpop concerts fill stadiums here.

I remember when friends rejected "Asian movies" as "bizarre and unrelatable". Now they win Academy Awards.

All those forms of entertainment proved a lot more portable than anticipated, over time. That said, sadly the golden era of entertaining Korean reality/variety shows (Running Man et all) is kind of over already, it died with the peak of broadcast TV. The Netflix crop of shows is already far more Westernized and MTV-style. There may not be much worth exporting there.
Thanks for sharing!
Thrilled to see generative AI companies continue to boom and shake the industry!

Looking forward to next milestone!
The Internet is for Porn
The realit is no such network that can brag that everyone is there. The biggest one, Facebook, doesn't even have a third of the total population on earth as active users.

Twitter, that we all love to talk about, has only a very small penetration with around 200 millions of active users.

And there are still myriads of tiny web forums with very active communities. I don't think every social network needs to have a global penetration.
I totally understand where you are coming from. However, I don’t think it is possible to prove this type of technology is safe in the real world without lots of data of it being used in the real world. Requiring proof first like you suggest creates a catch-22 situation in which self driving technology can never be released.
I feel like with Gamepass and all their exclusives being day 1 on Windows as well, there's probably more crossover nowadays than there has been in years, but overall you're right that spinning out Xbox entirely would make a lot of sense.
> I don't think that's true at all. If you want to make an argument that companies are too big, you need some exact logic to support it.

It's well known that oligopolies are bad for efficient pricing, just like with (though not as extreme as) monopolies.

That's why EU competition law rightly focuses on "significant market power", rather than US competition law which cares little unless there is a literal monopoly. (Currently, the UK retains EU competition law).
Hey - I'm the author of tuql (if you can still call it authorship, I haven't updated this library in a long time :) )

I originally wrote this to speed up prototyping / development projects, I'd never recommend shipping this anywhere near production.
Author here. I felt this was a topic deserving of careful deliberation, since decentralization absolutism vs usability is a constant point of friction in the fediverse. Curious to hear where the product-savvy HN crowd comes down on this issue.
A long time ago, one server room (located in the basement of the university building) of SPB-IX was flooded. It was a fun day for engineers whom unplugged survived equipment standing knee-deep in water

It was before dam (1) was built and floods were a huge problem in SPB

How come the UK has the ability to block two American companies from merging? Why can't they just ignore the CMA?
“Well let them e̴a̴t̴ ̴c̴a̴k̴e̴ play on $2000 gaming rigs.”

I get that gaming like that through a phone would suck compared to a high end gaming pc, but people don’t do that out of preference.
Your recollection matches mine, fwiw.
I own a Chevy Volt and frequent forums and a very popular FB group for volt owners.
The gen1 volt basically had zero common problems other than an axle nut, and CV axles that wear out fast (because the axle handles forward motion but also reverse stress during Regen braking).
The gen2 volt has an EGR valve/cooler problem, and a transmission shift linkage module that gives false readings. Both issues plague a high percentage of gen2 volts, and parts are nowhere to be found. Volts are sitting under warranty at dealerships for months sometimes waiting for parts.

It honestly sounds like GM has more supplier problems than they do engineering or fundamental cost problems.

If they quality controlled their suppliers better, and demanded reimbursememt for failed components from suppliers (basically a warranty from their supplier) they would be much better of.

Also, some of this is a programming fault. GM is often good at this. Don't make the failure mode of something result in the car bricking itself.

The shifter issue stems from the fact the gear position sensor fails and tells people to "shift to park" before you can start the car.

Was that REALLY required? Can I honestly not start my car if I'm in D? I'm already forced to press the brake pedal anyway. So Jesus let me start it in whatever gear you think I'm in. Maybe there's a governmemt rule I suppose. I just wish things defaulted to not bricking themselves over a technicality. Car technically functions, mechanical selector is moving correcrly. Safety switch fails.
I don’t quite see the problem with this. Japan requires innovative solutions because they don’t have space for all their people. In the future they’ll have less people.
It is a funny that from our point of view, sending out to the internet has one flat cost. Most of my friends (people who would be interested in my photos) live in the same state as me. A bunch live in the same or adjacent towns…
> He owns 21 patents on self-driving vehicle technology.

Then it might make sense for him to declare how much he gets from the patent licenses or if Tesla itself licenses any of the patents, because those are possible conflicts of interest.
You don't even need the cell towers. You need _very_ good gps reception though, so outside without tall structures nearby. Then you have the issue that you need to keep the GPS active enough to keep the almanac updated. Which is usually not happening due to power management.
Hah yeah, uh, make sure you get a more recent edition that was published less than 20 years ago. A profound amount has changed since then.

Looks like the 5th edition covers v3.2.
Wages for blue collar wages are finally increasing, but white collar wages are raising just as fast.

That happened with trees because cellulose was new, but I don't think there would be an issue with plants which cells have been around for a long time.

But maybe I'm missing something in which case I'm happy to learn.
A personal weather “picture” using the Soldered Inkplate 10 and Pirate Weather
Welcome to globalisation, baby. Very few companies are in one country exclusively, and are thus subject to the laws of any country they operate in. That's why Google pulled out of China years ago, to not be subject to Chinese laws (even though they're a "US" company).

For reference, both Activision Blizzard and Microsoft have very significant presence outside of the US.
"Strategy Letter III: Let Me Go Back!", collected in Joel Spolsky's Joel on Software covers just this.

Blizzard was never really about the high end. Couldn’t have had 10 million active subscriptions on an MMO if they did.
On the blip of the radar that is Human Civilization, it is abssolutely appropriate to be “naturalistic” since the organisms on this current Earth are very sensitive to sudden changes one way or the other.

But philosophically speaking or as hypothetical interestellar gods who live for millions of years then yes, worrying about what’s “natural” as we currently conceive it is narrow-minded.
Was that proven? And how close did employees get to taking over the company?
> WeatherLayers Cloud is a cloud service

Finally, a cloud service that has met it's true calling :)
I am not familiar with any required reading for being woke. For me its just a realization that our systems are not perfect and there are ways to improve them and make them more accessible. You can get to this position by just looking around you (if you are not part of the dominant socio-economic group). Its quite obvious. Whenever someone mentions names to me, I just let it pass through me. What is important is the argument.

edit: spelling mistakes
Oh wow it’s that Brad Templeton. Cool.

Cloud Gaming is always going to fall on its face, like Stadia, for one simple reason. Latency. It’s bad enough when latency interacts with multi-kilobyte telemetry messages in the client-rendered model. Cloud Gaming replaces that messaging with pumping multiple megabytes of video data to one’s screen.
And yet “it’s safer than normal drivers” is the defense people have been using to defend AP/FSD for years.

But we don’t know that because Tesla won’t tell us.
I agree with all author remarks in this post.

Turns out that we already have the federated web. If we truly wanted to federate social media, we already have federated blogs. It has been on the decline a lot, but it's a choice for those who truly want it.

I've also thought that if Twitter stopped existing, it'd leave a hole Mastodon can never fill. Maybe Bluesky can? but what I'd do instead is to invest far more in POSSE, and maybe add a micro-blogging feature on my website for these random threads I sometimes write (I'd be the only account on my website, though).

From the start, I've also thought Mastodon is doomed, it gave me a "code-smell" the double @ usage (one for the username and another one for the server itself you belong to). It just never did make any sense to me (maybe I'm just criticizing the aesthetic aspects of it).
I live in North Wales so can confirm it's pretty windy here and we have a few onshore wind farms around here too. We've also a few decent-sized wind farms just off the coast like Gwynt y Mor.

The Scotland thing is interesting as there's definitely issues with transmission constraints over the B6 boundary, though there's still benefits to building more wind farms for local consumption and/or storage as more batteries (especially) and pumped hydro capacity is added to the mix. Plus the National Grid have plans to expand capacity through to 2030 but I had to admit that's at the limit of my knowledge.
I’ve pivoted from full stack to frontend to product. The switch from engineering to product can be challenging. Two tips.

- start contributing to product on the side while on your current engineering job, and try to get a PM position with your current employer. After a year of working, you should be able to remove the junior label when switching companies.

- start your own business (even if on the side) and make your own label.
I think adding a quiz to your home page would be a nice way for people to demo this.
As a pedestrian and cyclist, what I want is to not become a statistic in a crash report. We can develop new things and test them under controlled conditions without having to put everyone outside the car at risk.
Stress is the cause for many illnesses, yes.
If you can make any even number with 2 primes, you can make an odd number by subtracting one odd prime from the odd number first (e.g. 3) and the resulting even number with 2 more primes.
An economist would say this is price discrimination, similar to coupons. If you're too busy to hassle with cutting out coupons, you pay regular price. If you really want to pay less, you can save with coupons.

This sounds like roughly what I've been through with Comcast for the last decade, calling every year so they give a not-outrageous price. But quarterly calls does seem a bit more extreme!
That’s not a social network, that’s a celebrity gossip site. The appeal of a social network is that all my friends are there.
Honestly I wrote the title just for clickbait, people in turn interpreted the post as if I was asking if "they were a failure", though I was really asking if they had a failed business or career. Unfortunately, I cannot edit post titles.
> All of those “features” come with with a heavy price—responsibility. Running your own instance is increadibly time consuming and difficult to understand how to secure and scale.

Huh. I didn't it difficult to understand how to click the "Buy Now" button on masto.host I spent about 5 minutes a month "running" it which is to say, responding to the maybe 1 request by my users to block an account / server.

I spend less by letting him do it, and i don't have to deal with securing it or scaling it.
> Its extremely frustrating how we let the tech companies get to be this large, such that now we really have to consider blocking every acquisition, even though this one in particular I think wouldn't be all that bad and may actually be a positive for consumers.

As an avid world of warcraft player, the community as a whole has been hoping the merger goes through for exactly this reason. Activision has seemingly forced through a lot of bad changes over the years to try wring out as much money as they can.
> but having CoD become unavailable on the most popular console

It would still be available for at least 10 years even if the deal went through.
Suggestion: when I click on a windfarm's name, instead of removing all the other windfarms from the map, it should leave them but highlight the selected windfarm in some way.
What shows like Dark and a good Korean drama have in common is that unlike many Western shows, they don't run past their prime and outstay their welcome.

Korean dramas by default are 16-20 eps and end there, and if they're done well, stick the landing and provide a satisfying ending to a complete, pre-planned narrative arc, which Dark also managed to pull off.

No Lost syndrome there.
I have an employee right now with Bachelor of Art in Music whose career in music fizzled out making $190k today in software outside of SV. That's it. That's his software credentials. A physician lost far more money in life getting their degree and spends about that gap in pay in malpractice insurance and professional attire required to work in a hospital, and generally works more hours at a higher stress level.

Your bitterness is completely blinding you.
It feels this part is what they are asking citation for: "Aspens are weird enough that they may be thought of more like a fungus with tree-like fruiting bodies rather than trees per se". At least the second sentence of their comment seems to suggest that.

I read the page you kindly linked but I'm not seeing anything about Aspens being considered a fungus with tree-like fruiting bodies..
> You're speaking of a time when the Internet itself wasn't really thriving - it was barely a curiosity that didn't exist in the lives of the vast majority of people in the world in any way at all.

It was thriving for me, and I was barely a teenager at the time.
I believe the study is onto something pretty conclusive. Speaking anecdotally, ive never eaten anything from Chipotle that didnt leave me with a haunting sensation of fear and remorse.
Stranger (first season only). Everyone I know who watched it - including die hard Korean drama fans - loved it.

Agree that overall, Squid Game was an "average good" Korean show.
> For example FSD does work on the highway now not just city streets.

Adaptive cruise control, as it should really be called, works with other manufacturers for years now.
Tesla is FUD-ing themselves with false advertising as well as people buying into it
Agreed. But tossing leadership & getting new supposedly 'better' leadership is high risk, whereas an acquisition is low-risk and more reliable at getting short term gains.

There's a substantial portion of the tech startup sphere whose entire goals are: get big enough to get acquired and get a big bag from the sale. It kind of runs counter to current sentiment around here.
I recommend this overview of effect of human diet on the gut microbiome: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6950569/?report...

Tl;dr is that while the gut microbiome varies by diet, it's largely stable after around 3 years of age, and even extreme dietary changes only result in impermanent shifts in relative abundances and function of your bacteria.
Probably consumers might benefit from concentration of gaming titles within Xbox for more seamless experiences. But, arguably very destructive in the long run. As this is a major INDEPENDENT studio, not only for multiplatform but also for deciding the titles/projects they produce.

As we see with the HBO Max/Discovery merger, once companies merge, they have the option to close or end projects, that is destructive to both consumers and the creators of those.

Furthermore, these are trillion dollar companies, that are almost getting if not already way past the size of "Too Big To Fail". These companies need to be reigned in, if we are trying to create mobility in the private sector, as well as consumer choice, and avoid monopolization currently already in tech.
iirc, Afghanistan is currently the country with the world's fastest population growth.

Google says that population went from 19.7 million in 2001 (to take a significant date...) to 40.1 million in 2021. So +20 million/doubled in 20 years, which is crazy.
The same net quantity of data would likely be sent so I'm not sure what the advantage would be.

There's be some savings from users just never signing in & never pulling. But also, server c2 also has hundreds or thousands of other users too. If any of those subscribe to u1, that traffic would have been sent either way.

So the hypothetical unread messages advantage of pull rapidly erodes at any kind of scale. I'm not sure what the gain might be.

One nice thing about rss is that it's relatively cacheable. CDNs are well optimized. Honestly I think it's mostly just bad implementations, that figuring out what messages to pushing data out ought be fairly optimizable & not terrible to scale out effectively. But being efficient & smart about it does take some though.

> I don't even know what ugly thing you are trying to say about the three people you named.

> If you look for someone to blame, you will find someone to blame. But that someone may be a scapegoat.

For Eileen Bailey I first blame her husband cheating, and then I blame his friends at the tennis club for not letting her know about it.

For Ann Coles I blame her husband for his personality disorder, and a society that told women to deal with it.

For Eddie Slovik I blame conscription, which may not have even been necessary in WWII following Pearl Harbor[1]. And an attitude against youthful petty criminals from the lower classes (this continued for decades as petty criminals were encouraged to join the military to get their lives in order and avoid their sentences, at least according to pop culture).

None of these attitudes (save, temporarily, conscription) have materially changed. People still cheat on their spouses. Spouses are still (though much less so today) told to accept it. Friends of the cheater still don't always feel they can, or should, let the other spouse know. People are still told to address societal issues by changing, or medicating, themselves. Youthful offenders are still permanently tarred in the mind of society.

We have improved in considering divorce more acceptable. And this is partly because of a collective blaming of the cheating spouse (with the other part mainly being the increased frequency of divorce).

You brought up robots.txt as if it was illegal to scrape or crawl the artist's website since his site had one that was supposed to "turn off scraping." That's what I was referring to. And that's just flat out laughably wrong.

In the context you're now talking about by the letter of copyright law, downloading a photo, image, file of something or other, a "copyrighted work" where it's publicly accessible, and has a particular license specified that you may not reproduce it, may technically be "unlawful" letter by letter of the law, but I doubt any judge is going to actually see it that way versus intent of the law unless you literally reproduce or share a substantial portion of it, sell a complete copy, etc. It's almost certainly fair use to study, and use portions of the copyrighted work in your own copyrighted works.
Hah, that sounds like typical human hubris. To think that we as humans can control the complexity of Earth when we barely control ourselves.

PS: Not suggesting anything about climate change, I'm just amused the comment parent makes.
I don't think it matters so much to me why someone has a particular gender identity — if that's physiology or environment — but I think it would still be interesting to be able to determine independently of self-identification.
This might confuse a reader. The Object === cases are successful, because the Class-objects Integer and String are Objects. In ruby everything is an Object.

Econ is definitely closer to psychology and sociology than it is to physics or chemistry on the "not science <--> science" spectrum. Econ is at least more quantitative and relies heavily on data (as compared to philosophy, <X> studies, etc). But obv experimentation is more difficult.
This doesn’t seem to be worded very well:

> greater fat and carbohydrate intake is directly associated with anxiety and depression

Carbohydrate was positively correlated, and fat was negatively correlated with anxiety and depression.
You shouldn't need accounts to track usage.
Don't worry, this is not social media; VC does the talk.
Im glad I made you comment for the 1st time making you comment since you made your account in 2013 :)
I’ll confess that I’ve only read the abstract, but was totally confused by this apparent contradiction…

> We found strong correlations between greater consumption of fat and protein to lower anxiety and depression

vs

> We have shown that changing diet affects mood and happiness, that greater fat and carbohydrate intake is directly associated with anxiety and depression

The first says fat reduces anxiety and depression. The second seems to imply it reduces it- unless “directly associated” actually means “negatively correlated”??

Also, are they saying that increased fiber reduces gut biome diversity?
