I don’t think I should have more of a right to buy a house there than anyone else, and I’m genuinely puzzled how you got that idea from my comment. I think housing should be sufficiently plentiful that everyone has the opportunity to make a home in a community of their choosing.
Strike you say? That's like, as Louis Rossmann on his yt channel wisely said, "I am so angry, so infuriated that you're abusing me, that ..... I WILL... leave for 3 days and then come back for the rest of my life".

Like it's literally like saying "hey I need you in my life". Do you know what message that sends? What would you think if your customers would say "hey Im not gonna come for 3 days but I'm coming for the rest of the year" ? Would you give a damn?

Reddit is a commodity. Admittedly a great one. Used to be at least. We'll create another one or they'll fix themselves, but they won't unless they know you're not going to use them unless they fix themselves.

No strike is successful unless you actually make them understand that they can't live without you or that ••AT LEAST* that you're doing your part.

Like, is reddit scared of me deleting my account? I think it doesn't give a damn. Is reddit gonna give a damn if another 100k accounts start getting deleted along with mine? At least they're gonna start noticing. And at least I can say that I've done my part.

Ive deleted my reddit account and I'm done with Reddit. Until they fix themselves and realize that acting that greedy and immaturely with lies about conversations that never happened between the Apollo programmer and /u/spez are not gonna pass. At least not from me, i'm fairly disgusted by the Reddit leadership.
It seems like this is a term for the ability to avoid sunk cost fallacy ( https://www.scribbr.com/fallacies/sunk-cost-fallacy/ )

The link contains a number of reasons why people get trapped in sunk cost fallacy.
> You could always have some breakers that could only be pulled by the chief flight attendant

This would be a very bad idea.

Deadly aircraft incidents, while exceedingly rare given the number of flight hours that happen every day, often happen within seconds. If there is something that is causing an issue that requires communication to someone (who is likely doing something else) outside of the cockpit, you may not get to it in time. Safety of the passengers and crew is the number one priority, and the captain should not have anything forbidden from his or her usage.
It's not a problem of federation, it's a problem with ActivityPub or at least the networks built on it. The current system is echo-chambery in nature because your instance owner does not only control your own speech being hosted there, but also who you're allowed to read from your feed and who you're allowed to talk to.

It may be intentional, it may be due to a byproduct of how the federation details are implemented, but regardless of how it came to be the end result is an undesirable protocol for discourse and as far as I'm concerned, not worth the effort compared to just switching to scraping Reddit until a worthwhile federated social network appears.
So you never use cabs or Uber?

My point is, which is definitely not being expressed well by me is that that are millions of exceptions and cost/convenience escalations that are going to impact lots of people and increase the friction and hassle of the place.
Just to add: It's also used to change the cleaning mode of the handle to match the type of the brush attached.
Reddit is not going to change. It seems quite a few people don't mind being abused a bit to get the convenience they want. Nothing's going to happen.
I think it is hard to change your beliefs is because of the discomfort that is associated with that change.

> please - do not go into management for the money

Please won’t do much, even if I agree. Incentives and all that.
I have a theory, after working for one of the UK’s largest social networks, that no-one who runs a social network understands what made it work or why it continues to work.

Therefore they are extremely reluctant to make changes in case they break it (e.g. old twitter), and because they don’t understand it, any large changes they do make are generally negative (new twitter, Reddit).

Plus, in my experience , users will bitterly resist any changes at all because the site doesn’t belong to management, it belongs to them. It’s their space. Changing anything is like someone’s snuck into their house at night and remodelled their lounge.

It’ll be interesting to see whether this is Reddit’s Digg moment or it’s more like the Facebook newsfeed where everyone kicked up a fuss for a bit and then carried on as before.
There are other smaller chains as well. I think I saw more MiniStop (sp.?) in Sapporo than Lawsons or Family Mart. But those three are definitely the biggest.

I experienced the exact same things. I have never before felt so accountable for decisions that I have such little input on.
It's super heavily moderated here.

Reddit is heavily moderated too, but there you can get into an argument, and it depends on the subreddit.

Here the tone policing is far, far stricter. Also the homepage is incredibly tightly controlled, politically and pro-YC. I've seen many articles on YC companies or associated people changed, removed, etc despite being highly relevant.

Titles are changed to suit the mods tastes here. There was a good recent example where a very negative article on OpenAI skyrocketed the the top of the homepage, fastest rising post ever with a few hundred upvotes within like an hour - first the title was completely neutered, then the post was removed entirely.
I bought the simplest one. No app, no 1000 "different" vibration patterns, no charging glass, no nothing.

To me, it looks like they are charging more for increased inconvenience. What a crazy world
I honestly don’t see much difference in the level of extremism between everything you listed vs people deciding a specific topic is off limits just because the theory may not be politically correct, or because the alt opinion may have some factual basis.

The infrastructure costs next to nothing compared to what they're charging. There is a natural equilibrium point between communities, the landlord, the moderators, etc, and this clearly isn't it. Someone else will find it though.
If you go into any activity for the money, you'll ruin the activity.
I think you overestimate the number of people willing to take on that job. The vast majority of people lurk. Of those who are active, most just comment. Of the remainder, most just post. It's a vanishingly small group who actually want to moderate given the time commitment and all the headaches involved.
Twitter's problems started with VC investment where they were always compared against Facebook. I don't think Wall Street is much better, but by the time they went public, valuation and growth trajectories were already established by the VC narrative.
These are interesting studies mentioned, no doubt, but the assertions made feel very heavy-handed to me. We have to take into consideration things like bipolar disorder, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder when dealing with humans. Also a bit skeptical of their conclusion based on the Vietnam vet studies, where we need to consider access to heroin in Vietnam vs wherever soldiers went home to.

Worth keeping in mind that this is a non-profit organization that sold fentanyl test strips at ridiculous markup for years (they have some novel strip now that i'm unsure of bulk pricing on). These were the same exact BTNX strips most fellow harm reductionists were handing out for free or at low cost. I was paying 75 cents per strip as a fairly small harm reduction organization, DanceSafe sold them for $2 (their novel strips are same price) and I can only imagine they got significantly better pricing through the biotech company we all were going through due to how many strips they must move.
You are free to focus on whatever issues you find pressing.
Its a good compilation that I saw in mid 2020 that was one of the sources of data leading me to question the zoonotic spillover hypothesis that I had read in Zhou et al (RaTG13 paper) and Anderson et al. That the WIV was conducting exactly the type of research that could have led to a highly human infectious novel SARS-CoV was poo-pood and cast as a conspiracy theory.

Flipping this on its head:

Starbucks workers are human and very rarely are consistent with making drinks/proportions. I would almost consider paying their outrageous $6-$10 per drink prices if I knew there wasn't a 60% chance a new, untrained employee is just "winging it" on making a 3-4 ingredient drink (my girlfriend likes a frozen (blended) frappuccino with caramel drizzle lining the cup, no whipped cream topping, and almond milk)

They get this "wrong" consistency wise/modification wise 70% of the time, multiple stores.
This submission was inspired by a current HN submission (One man's 8bit quest to finish his teenage Commodore64 RPG[1]), but this NYT article delves more deeply into the near-singular creative obsession that can take over a person's life - something that I find both fascinating and inspiring, and yet at the same time daunting and, potentially, futile[2].

In my experience the cheapest convenience store bentos in japan are roughly equivalent to slightly better than fast food Japanese in California.

And usually the price is much different too. Like 500 yen, which in America might be $4.50 or so, but the equivalent in America (or California at least) would cost maybe 3x as much.

I joke about it with a Japanese friend I made on one of my trips. There's a Japanese family restaurant chain that has some locations in California (Yayoi). In japan it's just another family restaurant where you can get reasonably priced meals (maybe up to 1500 yen but I haven't been in a few years) and in America the same restaurant easily charges $20-25 for regular meals.

Food tends to be very economical in Japan, at least to me as a visitor.
One approach to preserving mental fluidity is to not get emotionally attached to ideas. This was expressed by Richard Feynman in his 1979 lectures on quantum electrodynamics, available here:

http://www.vega.org.uk/video/subseries/8

> Q: "Do you like the idea that our picture of the world has to be based on a calculation which involves probability?"

> A: "...if I get right down to it, I don't say I like it and I don't say I don't like it. I got very highly trained over the years to be a scientist and there's a certain way you have to look at things. When I give a talk I simplify a little bit, I cheat a little bit to make it sound like I don't like it. What I mean is it's peculiar. But I never think, this is what I like and this is what I don't like, I think this is what it is and this is what it isn't. And whether I like it or I don't like it is really irrelevant and believe it or not I have extracted it out of my mind. I do not even ask myself whether I like it or I don't like it because it's a complete irrelevance."

I think that's critical, because if you become emotionally involved with promoting an abstract idea, it becomes part of your personal identity or self-image, and then changing your mind about it in the face of new evidence becomes very difficult if not impossible.

In another lecture, Feynman also said something about not telling Nature how it should behave, as that would be an act of hubris or words to that effect, you just have to accept what the evidence points to, like it or not.

(Changing your mind about what's morally acceptable, socially taboo, aesthetically pleasing etc. is an entirely different subject, science can't really help much with such questions.)

With that, this discussion is over.
Traffic is down modestly, revenue is down dramatically, outages are up, bugs are up, abuse is up, many users have departed, and the value of the company has fallen by something between half and two thirds. One of its core assets, the blue checkmark for verified notable accounts, has been permanently destroyed. I no longer use it, but word from my friends who still do is that is has become grimmer, less fun. Musk has stopped releasing statistics, but I expect that new users signups and net promoter scores are well down as well.

Musk keeps picking fights with vendors; the latest feud with Google means they may soon lose significant trust and safety tooling. Twitter keeps losing staff, Ella Irwin being the latest, and word is that they're running skeleton crews for core functionality, with a lot of the current staff being people who are trapped in the jobs by visas and the like. That suggests we'll be seeing more messes like the failure of DeSantis's campaign launch.

And that's all off the top of my head. If you want to read more, I'd suggest Casey Newton's articles on it; he's been covering it pretty well.
The timeline mentioned in the post displays a scary lack of professionalism from Valve. For a full RCE (with full chain required to even be acknowledged!), taking over a YEAR to fix it and then having an almost insultingly low payout for it does not fill me with confidence as a user. What makes this worse is that if it had been exploited, even just getting account takeovers would have been catastrophic, not even speaking of other fun stuff people can do with an RCE. Many csgo players have items of insane monetary value in their steam inventories, so getting account takeovers would've been a direct link to profitability with this exploit.
I'm very disappointed hearing this about such a reputable software maker.
While what you mention (capacity) is an absolutely important issue, I am skeptical of the effect that those 1-2 kids could have had on the students' performance on a national level so suddenly. Immigration is not a new phenomenon here. I guess there could be more to it. Like, for example, Covid lockdowns, which were not implemented the same way (severity) for schools among European nations. That could also have had a big effect on students' performance, and even more on the performance of those 1-2 immigrant kids. What I am saying is the excuse that the authorities are giving is not convincing me TBH and the wording they choose makes me feel even more skeptical. My 2 cents.

Sorry to hear about your friend. What was he hospitalized for? Several hundred thousand dollars is an exorbitant amount of money even with how high the cost of healthcare is in the US.
Truly. I appreciate the civil, thoughtful discussion on HN. On Reddit, I've noticed the comment section becomes who can come up with the best quip or the strongest reaction. Here you have leaders in their field, and interesting news. And the UI is minimalist and perfect. What more could you want?
We don’t know that.
> The claim from the company was that Oxycontin, which was a slow release form of oxycodone, was less addictive because of the slow release.

A similar claim is now made about Vyvanse, a pro-drug for amphetamine. Like a slow release formulation, but needs to be metabolized first. The slower onset, less sharp peak, makes it less euphoric for a similar effective dose, which is supposedly one of the mechanisms involved with the reward-feedback addiction cycle. Less likely to experience (intentionally or accidentally) the intense euphoria of a bit too much instant-release amphetamine on an empty stomach, and so less likely to seek out the experience again. It also frustrates injection, since it needs to be metabolized first so injecting it doesn't make it work any faster. I'm not sure the premise is wrong, and it is probably fairly similar with opioids. But slightly less abuse risk is certainly not the same as non-addictive.
Yes, you understand it correctly that you can integrate existing prometheus with OpenObserve for long term storage of metrics with s3.

And yes you can get your logs there too.

You don't need grafana as OpenObserve has good dashboarding for metrics and logs built in. Still early days for OpenObserve - some features are missing and has some rough edges.

I am not sure what you mean by:

> does it mean that long term metrics mirrored from prometheus are no longer available there?

> is there any way to get just graphana plugin for self hosted deployment?

ping us on slack channel, If you are able to make friends with the team you can get anything :-) . Fair warning - We have found OpenObserve logs UI to be much smoother and advanced than grafana UI.
How about typescript? It supports union types, lambda functions and type aliases. Would you consider it on par with Kotlin?
This is correct. I only chose the tiger as a metaphor because tigers are top predators and are solitary. They rarely meet other tigers.

> my 10 year old Sonicare is starting to shit the bed so I started to look for a new one. Back then there was 2 models. Now there's like 8, each with several variations

Electric toothbrush marketing designations are out of control. When I was looking for one I found a website that went out of its way to identify which models were behind marketing wording and numbers and what their specs were (mainly: movements per minute and pulsations per minute). Companies love to rebrand the same models with different numbers based on how many additional brushes they put in the package but they rarely put those specs on their own websites. Anyway, oral b 2700 still looks good.

Yes good call, I changed the broken Wikipedia links to the archive page - https://web.archive.org/web/20230228105200/https://people.cs...

Looks like it broke earlier this year, but the rest of his site is still up.

It's very weird that there's already a "canonical" format for s-expressions, and then Racket apparently implemented something incompatible -- BUT WITH THE SAME NAME.

They are both called "csexp".

---

Rivest's draft is filled with a lot of words, but this looks like a clear incompatibility:

A verbatim encoding of an octet string consists of four parts:

-- the length (number of octets) of the octet-string,
given in decimal most significant digit first, with
no leading zeros.

-- a colon ":"

-- the octet string itself, verbatim.

That's a length prefix. Also, unless my head is exploding, that's 3 parts, not 4.

In contrast, the Racket library uses a length suffix:

Spaces are removed and all strings are suffixed by their size and a colon : separator.

That's super weird. This is really "the curse of Lisp" ...

---

Of course maybe nobody actually uses Rivest's thing. But the length PREFIX is conventional so you know how much to allocate (netstrings, bencode, etc.)

Not sure why they would go with a length suffix -- I've never heard of that.

I could see making it incompatible to improve it, but it doesn't seem improved.

Genuine question, what is it causes websites to keel over in a mild breeze like that? Surely not raw CPU, memory, or network bandwidth on the machine? Is it just some arbitrary limit imposed on whatever VM they are running?

We have a pair of 2019 Sonicare that need battery replacements.

I picked up a compatible battery but haven’t taken the time to pull it apart yet. It does require soldering.

The company scrambled the model numbers and it’s not easy to figure out which are similar or even the same.

The obfuscation of product differences, release dates and nerfs to longevity are all over consumer goods.

I hope open product designs + micro hyper local manufacturing capability will deeply erode the power of companies creating these wasteful, capital-driven artifacts.

You are too naive when you think that someone thought about it. Many things in Python happened because that's how they were implemented initially without much thinking or at all.

There was no plan, and, in the initial stages, I'd imagine that the author(s) were surprised that they'd even gotten this far.

Famously, the whole object system in Python was implemented in like a few days. That included the design and testing too... It did see some changes over time, but there's a lot of petrified turd there that's increasingly difficult to get rid of.
I suspect well written docs avoid pushing HSTS and HSTS preload too hard. On first pass it sounds like a great security tool, so people rush to enable it, but then many have issues. When your HSTS preload setting gets hardcoded into a browser, you can't remove it. You've got to wait for all your users to update.

I think the Cloudflare recommendation is based on the Qualys tool, which uses six months as their recommendation. Interestingly, Twitter is using 631138519 seconds (20 years) for their setting, so they are extra confident.
