I have run my own email server off a Linode for the last decade-plus, and I have never encountered this. Most of the people with whom I correspond (I run my own business from my server) are on Gmail, and I have always received their emails instantly. If you were getting emails only 20 minutes later, I wonder if there was some server misconfiguration on your end, e.g. sending messages into graylisting delays.
This stuff about the world being peaceful due to the industrial revolution doesn't make a lot of sense to me. For one thing, the IR significantly predated WW1 and WW2. It didn't prevent those, so how'd it cause the "long peace" afterwards? The predominant theory about this in international relations is hegemonic stability theory - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegemonic_stability_theory - there have been several periods throughout history that were relatively peaceful because an exceptionally strong nation state decided to step up and enforce a peace. Considering that the US was half of global GDP at the end of WW2 and has long been more than happy to sanction anyone who conducts in an (unapproved) war (such as Russia right now), the modern era of "long peace" fits this theory pretty well.
Snapchat, Discord and Instagram. Mostly Snapchat. It's really strange for me. I'm 41 years old. Seeing the birth of the Internet and all, I always assumed that kids will grow up with stuff and be great with everything. But most of them don't even know how to create an email account. (or they don't want to invest time into it)
They don't watch movies. Or Netflix. Most of them just use Snapchat and Instagram and Tictoc.

Thats weird. I tried really hard to convince it that there's such case law establishing a legal category of "praiseworthy homicide" and it refused to believe me. I thought it was overttrained / patched on all law related applications.
I'm no expert on these systems, but the data that's in the cloud isn't encrypted? I would've assumed that Google can not have access to the data but are giving access to server space to host it, making HIPAA violations from employees practicaly impossible? (Unless they try to get keys to unencrypt the data, but then again that's outside the scope of this discussion)

If not this is alarming, thanks for the head up
Fair point, though The Google's search matters less and less as the days go by.

But the difference with websites is that there's always an alternative. If The Google decides your site is wrongthink or their superior AI intelligence flags your site for infringing on your own copyright, there are countless other ways to make your site seen elsewhere.

Let's face it, nobody's going to sideload your mobile app without installing it through an app store unless your app is in the position to say F-U to The Google like Tik Tok, Twitter, Instagram, and so on. People will visit a website that's been posted on social media or linked on some blog, but they won't download an APK.
> Very many things doctors need to be aware of to diagnose conditions have significant social stigma... the risk is too great for any individual

Very many things doctors need to be aware of, because the patients life depends on it, are left out when patients move between specialists and physicians, which happens all of the time.

Outbreaks of viral and bacterial illnesses result in thousands of people independently chasing diagnoses and treatment, because the system doesn't share information that could be used to piece together and get ahead of it. Every time my kid gets sick at school, I get to play a game of "What is it? Do we see a Doctor? How much money should we spend?". Lets pretend we know nothing about this and go see a Doctor who hasn't seen anyone else in school, who may provide antibiotics they may or may not need or worse.

Effective prevention methods and early detection of bad treatment are discarded because its so difficult to investigate and connect the dots between interventions and outcomes.

Patient privacy is important, but the system we have today is nothing less than a tragedy. Real damage in emotional, physical, and economic is happening on a grand scale every day in this country. We shouldn't pretend HIPPA is a good thing, or the current system is doing a good job. Its not. We need to radically transform how we operate, and much more open and connected medical records is certainly a part of that transformation.
its in the list they provided of improvements python needs...
(on libertrarians) House cats. They are convinced of their fierce independence while utterly dependent on a system they don't appeciate or understand.

-- John Spaulding
People will die as a result of their medical privacy being stripped away, when they forgo care in fear of the effect that stigma has or fear of losing their job due to their medical needs being to expensive or being prosecuted from having a miscarriage or drug use, etc.

Every university behaves this way & all faculty are muzzled. It’s been this way for decades now.

This is just one exceptionally qualified & recognized individual who can afford to take the risk because the media celebrity he gains might compensate for losing his position.

He will be gone in the near term “for unrelated reasons” or blocked from ever taking a media appearance until he moves on.

Universities are businesses & brands. Their academic values are as useful as those of any other corporation - as propaganda.
Do photons have a soul? On the surface level I kind of get the argument that headsets with camera passthrough are "artificial". The light that you see isn't the light that you're supposed to see, it's been captured by a photosensor, processed into data, projected and output on a display. Scary music cue, what a total dystopia. But if it gets to the point where you can't actually tell, does it matter?

Maybe it does to you, maybe a lot of people, but calling it degradation is still a subjective call.
Not necessarily - it could very well not help that much. These are just claims.

I don't think Meta's issue with proper VR takeoff is because people weren't willing to try a VR headset. People did try and buy headsets, and most people thought it was cool but after a couple weeks it's a novelty that's not worth the buy-in of putting on a headset every time you want to use it. You can make a VR headset as luxury as you want, but if it doesn't provide enough value to make it worth strapping a thing to your face, people won't want to use it.

For a VR headset to actually succeed, it needs to be a thing where when you're using a traditional non-VR computer, you wish you were using the headset because it enabled you to do so much more.
No.

Across the board, illegal immigrants are LESS likely to commit crimes. The exception are certain isolated crimes (like drunk driving) where the US has an aggressive cultural and legal framework of enforcement and social coercion/education.

Obviously, this has exceptions, and certain immigrant groups are going to have higher incidences than others.
that would solve a lot of problems, probably a lot more than making health data public. otherwise keeping your data off the record becomes just another bussiness model.
There is a project attempting to re-implement Oblivion in the Skyrim engine. Could that be a good alternative? Controller inputs etc. should at least work natively. It's not done yet, but they are targeting 2025 as a deadline for full release.

It's the same fundamental reason that Forza and Grand Turismo is more popular than VR iRacing: For the vast majority of people, the goal is FUN, not authenticity or """immersion"""/fidelity and accuracy of simulation. A game that is "simulatorish" and easy to use with a controller, and has lots of average cars that normal people can connect with.

VR has proven itself pretty much only in VR racing and VR flying, where it provides an impossible to compete with improvement in experience, but at a huge cost and COMMITMENT. It takes effort to put on a headset, set aside some space, and commit to being "away from reality" for a bit
This reads an awful lot like we could eliminate all crime with a sufficiently strong police and surveillance state, or eliminate all obesity by attaching activity trackers to everyone and having the government ration only as much food as you actually need. Both true, but humans inherently value things other than health and longevity, such as freedom and privacy. Governments that are not dictatorship have to manage these competing demands from citizens. Otherwise, you could probably maximize health outcomes by allowing research facilities to just all operate like Unit 731. Sure, you might kill a few million people, but you're doing it to save trillions in the future.
One of the less spoken but potentially significant reasons for Russia's invasion is that Putin felt the nuclear tables were about to turn with M.A.D. when the U.S. restarted Strategic Defense Initiative development.

You may find the book Softwar by Jason Lowery of interest.
In Germany the „Brockhaus Enzyklopädie“ used to have its place in every academic house hold. The 24 volume version filled an entire cupboard on its own, cost thousands but looked great with the volumes’ red shaded back and golden rims. Especially historic and technical articles were quite large and detailed and helped me with many homework assignments in the age before the Internet. They were much better than the typical CD-ROM based encyclopedias.

I am lucky to own the last print edition from back in 2006 (inherited from my father) that even contains an entry explaining what „Wikipedia“ is. My kids never want to use it. It’s depressing and amusing at the same time.

They are incompetent though huh?

And more importantly, _who_ the people are. Yeah, I want full legal names. I want someone to name in a lawsuit if things go wrong or my data is leaked. I want personal legal culpability from everyone interacting with that data.
Absolutely.

I think it's also super important that there is now a market of competing products too. Until recently, devices were sort of stuck using whatever the manufacturer provided. Almost no one shopped for power density. Now we have an interoperable standard & different companies can compete to be better.

USB-PD has been pretty epic so far, IMO.

Forking, maintaining, marketing and generally all the community aspects of dealing with such a small change is not worth the effort.

It’s not the only big 1 indexed language (R, COBOL, Wolfram, Smalltalk, etc.), sometimes as engineers we just have to get used to idiosyncrasies between languages similarly to how bilingual people do the same with spoken language.
They could do that. It's probably a terrible business model, but they are 100% free to do that.

I would be genuinely shocked if old.reddit.com users made up a non-trivial amount of the audience.

I find tech/power-user crowds like that on HN tend to dramatically overestimate the proportion of a userbase they actually make up.
There was a brouhaha a few months ago over a tech startup that wanted to do AI lawyering, via having the chatbot speak in a bluetooth earphone or something. They actually signed up someone to do a speeding ticket hearing...

and subpoenaed the officer to make sure he showed up in court for the hearing so that they could actually have oral argument.

The best way to avoid such a ticket is to show up to court and hope the officer doesn't show up. And the AI firm went outs of way to make sure the officer showed up. That's legal malpractice right there. (In the end, IIRC, the judge heard about the firm's involvement and put the kibosh on the entire thing.)
But you still can't see their eyes. You're seeing an image on a screen. That strikes my creepy nerve because it seems even more opaque than if they are wearing sunglasses or something. Rather than just being aware that their eyes are being hidden, it feels like an attempt is being made to actively deceive me.

It's the same sort of creepy I get when someone is wearing a realistic mask.
> but most of these already have alternative sites (e.g. discourse, Discord, SE)

I've seen Discord used as a platform for project-based discussion, and I just can't get into it. It just seems so fundamentally not built for long-term threads and the aggregation of information (like a wiki, for instance), and it kind of frustrates me to see some projects that are hell-bent on keeping all related discussion on Discord.

Granted, Reddit is not the greatest place for what I'm talking about either, since it also prioritizes newer self-posts/links, but I feel the clunkyness is even worse in Discord.
I only ever used pacman and yay in Manjaro, which to me makes complaints about other package managers... weird.

I do not expect anything from them and I’m grateful to receive quality open source library for free with current terms as that’s infinitely better than having a proprietary library. I’m just merely trying to understand how Debian deals with thus situation.

That said, of course having upstream patches available for free, as it was in the past, would even be better.
Blaming individuals for not trusting medical and tech companies that have repeatedly abused private information is a strange take.

Instead of taking the information by force (which health care conditioned on opt in certainly is), we should figure out how to build a trustworthy medical research and care industry.

For instance: They could only make this information available to universities, and ensure the results of the research were public domain.

Or, they could create separation of concerns for companies involved. If google wants to store medical data, then they have to spin off their ad business.
That’s an absurd view if we are talking about real estate that probably has never been true (in complex societies but maybe also beyond) and probably cannot ever be true if we are talking about non-dystopian societies.

> Although there are niche subreddits with some good information in them, this doesn't mean that the vast-vast majority of Reddit posts reflect that quality.

Even if that's true, you're left with the problem of figuring out which is which. That's going to be hell of a lot harder and time-consuming that throwing a bunch of volunteer bandwidth at the problem.

It's not like the ArchiveTeam has an office staffed with a thousand people working 9 to 5 to make case by case archival decisions.

Dyspraxia: My Life with the Misunderstood Condition (2021)
I'm sure that works for passwords. I am skeptical that it works with passkeys. It's unclear to me if the CSV will include passkeys. It's additionally unclear to me if I enroll in some website with a passkey stored in my Keychain, and then export and import that password into some other password manager, if the website will accept a login from the exported passkey. Definitely, there's the "attestation" piece and services might choose not to accept the passkey if the attestation has changed. You can blame the service - but it seems like an intentional design goal here. And it has been said that Apple didn't want attestation, maybe it will be removed, but it's there and it seems likely to be used.

"hey chatGPT, can you make up some bullshit for me?"

"I'm sorry, as an online AI language model I am not able to generate output that is knowingly incorrect. Is there anything else you want help with today".

see, it isn't capable of lying. It told me so itself.
I get where you're coming from but the problems are orthogonal.

Let's say that each research study spends 10% of its time on recruitment and another 5-10% of its time on compliance. (Real numbers can be much higher).

Open medical data would reduce both these efforts, so every study, regardless of quality now goes more quickly and/or is less expensive. This is the primary benefit.

Now you're pointing out that extremely open data can lead to rapid and perhaps erroneous analysis. This is true, but it would also lead to rapid and accurate analysis. My point is that everything speeds up and compliance regulations around data handling are far less impactful on study quality than are protocols around experiment design.
Unfortunately as people move away from Reddit, invariably some number of them will end up here and we'll end up flooded with even more useless Reddit comments like this.

I second this. There are few reliable[1] online sources for what now passes as social history, and Reddit is one of them. Destroying that history just to hurt a company seems antithetical to what the WWW is.

We should be preserving its content instead.

[1] Maybe "reliable" is a strong word, but it's slowly becoming all we have. Search engines are dissolving into meaningless key-word-driven ad machines (even you ddg), Stackoverflow is getting subsumed by bots, etc. Finding truth on the web is going to be more and more difficult and draining Reddit won't help.

This got me to finally play through and beat Morrowind in my 30s, avenging my 13yo self who had looted and lost an essential quest item got stuck in the main quest line.

I played it while taking notes about the quests which was a bit more fun than just following quest markers. Though that was only fun because of Morrowind's weird alien world. There are only a few games intriguing enough to warrant note-taking.

Neither of these is true. I actually still find it a little weird that Python became so widely adopted by data science people, and that definitely doesn’t seem to be the main user GvR originally had in mind when creating the language.
