Hey, awesome that you use Growthbook. They seem to be doing an amazing job on the data and analytics space tied to A/B testing and feature flagging.

Our perspective differs from Growthbook's in that we don't want to replace your analytics source of truth in any way. Product analytics has come a long way in the last few years with a lot of truly amazing players like Mixpanel, Amplitude, Looker or almost countless others.

Our core focus is developers and the developer experience.

What that means is that we're trying to avoid adding features and functionalities that would be directly competitive to analytics providers, and instead be better at integrating with those tools, so you can manage your flags in DevCycle and do your flag and experiment analysis directly in your team's source of truth.

At the moment what this means for our product roadmap is that we're working on things like a feature rich CLI, Typescript enhancements, automatic code cleanup, etc and we're hoping to continue to head down the road of developer experience as opposed to building non-developer tooling.
That's unfortunate because he expanded on ISAIF at length in his prison writing and took a more thoughtful and look at a lot of existing political tropes. For example, in his Anti-Tech Revolution* he lauds the tactics of early feminists' campaigns to obtain voting rights for women, and similarly deconstructs a lot of flaws in right wing ideology.

I disagree with a lot of Kaczynski's ideas and methods, but I still regard him as an important thinker and wish people would read his output in full rather than rushing to have the hottest take (not meant as a dig at you, rather the avalanche of attempted zingers on Twitter and in the media over the weekend).
No, it's because they're buying avocado toast.

It's not you who makes the choice. They align themselves with you. The first time you learn they even exist can be when opponents use their words to malign you.

North Africa is included in Diamond's Mediterranean exchange zone. And that zone extends out of Europe to the Fertile Crescent, at the very least, and arguably to India and China as well. Africa's two zones are separated by the largest and most inhospitable desert on earth. There is no advantage in having two.

That is in fact the core idea Diamond is expressing.

Domesticatable flora and fauna from a huge and ecologically diverse geographic region were easily diffused around the entire zone. The difficulty of migrating horses or sheep across the Sahara, or turkeys and llamas across the Darien Gap, is much much higher. Sub-Saharan Africa started with few large animals suitable for domestication, and importing new ones was comparably difficult.

The startup strategy of knowingly breaking laws for brand awareness and picking up some users like this and then removing it once you get caught.
I don’t see how you could get misled when the peaks are annotated and immediately and clearly visible.
Async in interface by default was a mistake and led to a ton of pain. Actually-async-under-the-hood is fine.

See: how much JS is rightly and justifiably littered with "await" on seemingly almost every line, now that that's an option. It's downright comical to look at, and as clear a sign of mis-design in a language/runtime as you can get. Nine times out of ten (maybe more...) you just need to treat all that async stuff as synchronous, from the perspective of the current block of code. "Await" or something like it should have been the default behavior of async calls. A great deal of the mess in Javascript over the last couple decades has been due to going the other direction with that default.
How is it poorly rooted? They cite all of the data they used for their sources, and link to research supporting their broad claims. You can’t just call something poorly sourced and alarmist because it’s actually alarming. That’s the problem, right now. Alarming is very much the word I should hope this article is.
I didn’t necessarily mean reprojection but whatever ‘trick’ is done to hide that the cameras aren’t in the same physical location the users eyes are without the headset on.

Either way, very fair.
Yeah, I switched to the web version of outlook when I noticed (via little snitch) that the desktop app was sending 100's of MB upstream. No idea why it'd need to send much of anything in that direction.
Languages are validated by their use. All other interpretations of their value are abstractions from the only real metric, that people use it and it is alive in that way. We don’t speak dead languages and we don’t adopt them either.
Lol, I'll expect people will figure out tells for whether you're slacking off irl in a headset just like being distracted in a zoom meeting. Reprojected eyes jumping around too much? Holding your hands below the table to pinch out of sight?
Thank you; I was wanting another term so as to not conflated "freedom of speech" with something considerably different. I want to make things unambiguous/clear as possible.

It does infuriate me when some people may use "freedom of speech" as their excuse for "You must let me have a place to speak", when that isn't even guaranteed in the first place.
Utilization fee?

A more generous reading is that a dowry is the starting capital for the new family. In Russian history the dowry was considered wife’s property, but I understand that this is rare.
"based on just a verbal accusation, so the threat of this is often used as a tool during divorce for the wife to get what she wants"

Sounds a lot like protective orders in US divorce.
Home baked bread freezes really well so take advantage of that! I also bake a lot of bread at home and usually make a batch of 1kg of flour at a time, that results in two good sized loaves - one goes in the freezer until the other is finished.

I freeze it in an air tight bag, and I take it out of the freezer a day before we want to start using it and let it thaw at room temperature.
While I applaud the recent-ish improvements to PHP, the biggest issue is still unresolved: the standard library is a mess. It is inconsistent as a rule -- in terms of function naming, argument order, error behaviors, etc.

I think this issue is probably intractable unless PHP wants to go the Python route and have a hard fork.
I'm guessing they didn't put much thought into the "enhancement" aspect at all. They just needed some justification to collect lists of every image you view.
Well it mostly rains during winter in Sweden and for half the country that means snow, so mo chance of forest fires then. The past 10 years there have been more dry years during summer than the past. Also it's usually dry in the most southern parts of sweden, which also accounts for a majority of the food production.
I didn't find there to be much substance in this article. I would have preferred more examples of ways in which there are "too much CSS", and the ways in which it is a "continuing tradgedy", instead of a retrospective about the wider state of the web. The measurement units section was interesting, the introduction had me primed to expect more of that, but I was left generally wanting.
Anyone using this in production?
A historical work like Mein Kampf you would read annotated with scientific insights and commentary (which is exactly what was done in Germany with that book a few years ago), or just straight up as-is if your German is up to it and you have the ability to place it in its proper context.

It's a political pamphlet, not a novel.
I think few Baby Boomers will ever acknowledge the straight line between the bailouts that propped up housing resale values 15 years ago and their low number of grandchildren.
I’ll edit my comment. Thanks. I keep making that mistake for some reason.
Sounds like I prime example of Moral Hazard where people would justify shitty behavior because they pay for it. It's also more difficult to ban people in one way or another because they are paying customers now.
This is true even with positive things. I wish I had a good answer for human nature and resistance to change, as that would be game changing generally speaking

Just glancing it looks like it would simplify tooltips. Does it have wider implications than that?
Ask HN: Asus router guest network security flaw
I've reported a security flaw to Asus three times over the past 3 years (!) and it's been continually ignored.

On an Asus router you can configure wifi guest networks to have no access to your intranet. However, it's trivial for a guest to gain access to your full network and even retrieve your main wifi password (because once you're on the intranet, the router is happy to tell you via its config sharing daemon).

I found three ways to bypass that limitation but the one I'm trying to report doesn't even require any technical skills and has been discussed elsewhere already [1].

What can I do at this point to be taken seriously? Create a CVE? Is this something someone with no background in security can do?

> Whereas the first arm looked and functioned quite literally like an arm mounted at the shoulder, the Canadarm2 was like two arms connected to one elbow. This configuration would eventually allow it to move along rails running the length of the ISS, making it a 1,500-kilogram multi tool for the space station—a crane, grabber, and camera, all in one.

I think the author may have missed or misunderstood one of my favorite features of Canadarm2: it's symmetrical!

The same mechanical/power/data connection (PDGF) on the end of the arm that grabs payloads is used to connect the base to ISS. The ISS has multiple PDGF points around the station, so it can bend over, grab onto the station with the end-of-arm-tool gripper, release the base of the arm, and walk itself end-over-end like an inchworm.

The Mobile Transporter/Base System/Servicing System do allow the arm to move along the main truss, but I think the end-over-end mode is way cooler.
There have been plenty of lab leaks in history too.
Do you recall the wave of people breaking their TVs with the Nintendo Wii controllers?

I'd expect a similar wave of people breaking their expensive Vision Pros if they try cooking with one. It's a terrible idea. First, most kitchens are cramped, full of low-hanging cabinets to break your Vision's fragile glass into.

And then, keeping those open vents around vapors full of fat and tasty food bits is a great way to cover the circuits with grease.

We already have a solution for something telling you what to do next, and it's called an iPad with a stand. A phone also does the job and has much lower chance of incidents than a headset, despite yes, you may need to wash your hands from time to time to scroll down. Or... you can simply use assistive features and voice for that. Siri is going to get a lot smarter thanks to LLM, much sooner than Vision Pro will become light and pragmatic for such purposes.

Regarding this "it'll know where things are in your home", let's use basic logic here. It can learn the layout of your rooms and where your immovable furniture is. But no, it can't know where everything that moves is, because this means you literally can't move anything unless you have the headset on to track its location. Or slap expensive AirTags on every single jar and utensil maybe. All solutions would be hilariously impractical. And... we'll end up with where I started: a broken Vision Pro glass as you slam it in a cupboard while trying to fish out a jar of condiments.

I don't know what is about VR that makes people pull out the fantasy scenarios. It's simply a (bulky) screen with pass through. It's not a wizard. It can't know things unless there's a way for it to find them.

We can imagine a super-thin model that you can keep on your face 24/7 and sleep with it too, so it tracks your entire life forever and knows you better than you know yourself. And it synchronizes with your spouse and children who also wear their own headsets 24/7. And it's unbreakable. And the battery never runs out. We can imagine many things. They don't exist, and won't exist any time soon. "Not on the horizon" as Steve Jobs used to say.
Not big sugar, big semaglutide. The timing of this anti-fake-sugar push with the release of a new patented weight loss drug isn't a coincidence.
>Which come with well documented peripherals?

Refer to OS-A Platform.

RISC-V is going beyond anybody else, standardizing peripherals that are common and very much solved problems, but aren't standardized elsewhere.

Things such as GPIOs, watchdogs, uart, timers and what not.
People don't generally make decisions about their life by looking at the global scale, they do whatever is familiar to them from their upbringing and their friends and family. If you're used to the idea of dowry, and your potential marriage partner and their family is also used to it, then it's going to keep happening.
Honestly, this sounds like a Musk sockpuppet.

As an advertising exec, presumably Yaccarino's main job is to shore up Twitter's advertising revenue, but there's nothing in the message about the strategy for that.
Blizzard spent $100,000,000 building the first version of WoW. They captured most of the other MMO players. Every company that claimed to be the next "WoW killer" had a budget that was basically "3 bent paperclips and some bellybutton lint". No one was willing to make the content.
> a failed attempt to re-open all closed subreddits and instate their own moderators

My first thought this morning was "if I was reddit, I would re-open all closed subreddits and instate my own moderators"... I'm kind of surprised they didn't. I'd have to imagine that if they wanted to, the attempt wouldn't fail - this seems like it could be done almost trivially.

Are you dead set on paying out directly? Internet communities always get worse when there's money involved. It will be a constant fight between moderation and clickbait. People will make it their job to game the system. You could, instead, have votes go toward paying a user's subscription fee instead of cash.

My understanding is that the plow and horse, still required significant muscle to keep it on track, push it into the ground, whilst the horse was pulling forward. Additionally, rocks had to be moved (even in older fields, rocks appear, big rocks, over time).
social search vs. reference search
Roald Dahl's stories are so full of inappropriate conflict resolution and outgrouping of others that it honestly feels silly to change a few words and call it fixed. I loved Dahl's stories as a kid specifically because it was obvious they were 'naughty' and like a lot of fiction they allowed me to explore darker feelings and desires without actually living them out in real life. However, that said, I don't particularly mind people updating stories to modern sensibilities as long is it is made obvious that it isn't the original edition, and those original editions are archived somewhere.
I wish this was around when I was a kid :(
> But sometimes if we're scared or anxious about the future and our place it in, we lean more into the self-interest category.

This is very well put. The bailouts that kept housing prices high for Baby Boomers will end up being a tax paid by their children. Or by their grandchildren but many will never have any because of the unaffordable living situation for younger people.
I'm well aware of that.

BLM and its relationship with Black Bloc is an example I brought up for good reason.

----------

So we have the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys on the Right. Have Republicans clearly censored these more-violent groups out of their spaces? (Leadership of these groups have literally been prosecuted and sentenced for their involvement in January 6th conspiracy).

Or has the right coalesced support of them and promised to pardon them?

----------

Everyone knows that assholes exist in all forms. Not necessarily rising to the level of hate groups (Proud Boys are becoming more-and-more like a hategroup, but I don't think Black Bloc or Oath Keepers have risen quite to that level yet). But in all cases, these three groups are extremely problematic to the left, and the right.

Censoring those violent viewpoints, calling them out, and diminishing them is the least I expect of reasonable people. However, some politicians are calling on their supporters and offering public promises for them.

The extreme flanks try to out-extreme each other. Its up to the centrists and the reasonable people to pull them back and/or call them out and say "Those guys over there: they went too far and are not to be associated with us anymore". You can't just accept allies all the time, some of these allies are not worth their trouble.

-------------

Look, its my overall opinion that Republicans are bad at this because this is the first time they've decided to perform activism. Be it online or in person. I get that these assholes don't represent all the Republicans, but there's good decisions and bad decisions here.

When people online are asking to censor some of the more problematic elements (ie: Oath Keepers or Proud Boys, and some of the stuff they proclaim), it applies just as strongly to the Black Bloc or other violent leftists (or historically, Black Mafia, Nation of Islam, etc. etc. in the Civil Rights era).

People going "I'm against censorship so I wanna support even these problematic members" always strikes me as naiive. You absolutely cannot let these groups take over the persona of your organization. These groups are too dangerous to gain power.

So advocacy is a constant fight. Not only against your political enemies, but even with your political allies (Ex: BLM having to explicitly fight back against left-aligned Black Bloc to minimize the violent acts in their name).

--------------

In any case, "Hate Group" isn't the issue you seem to have. It seems to be with "censorship", as that's what we keep coming back to. I've listed three problematic groups (Black Bloc, Proud Boys, and Oath Keepers), which are by large, not considered "hate groups". But I think they're closer to the issues you're trying to talk about.

Apart from being illegal constitutionally at the federal level, what does a wealth tax truly do?

1. Forces wealthy to liquidate assets. Impact: stock prices go down, real estate markets get excess supply floods, etc.

2. Forces income through taxable sales.

3. Theft

I fail to understand how taxing wealth is not stealing. Any time a wealthy person wants to utilize wealth to consume a product, someone somewhere is paying taxes on it. The closest that gets to not being true is when wealthy use their stock as collateral for loans and then get to take interest write offs, but the bank is still going to pay income tax on the interest income they receive.

Wealth means nothing until it is utilized, and all ways in which it's utilized are taxed.

I like the concept, though I agree with a lot of the comments about people content farming and reposting comments for upvotes and I think that would kill the site (since Reddit already has enough of a problem with this and that's just for fake internet points).

The thing that I think a lot of people are missing about Reddit is that it's not a content aggregation site like HN or Digg or your site, Non.io; it's a community of communities.

I've seen so many reddit-likes which switch from 'subreddits' to hashtags, but that doesn't work for what makes Reddit great. On Reddit, you can create your own communities and control who is in them, set rules for them, moderate them how you want, and so on. For example, /r/AskHistorians has some extremely specific rules and moderation; /r/GirlGamers is a community of like-minded (typically female) individuals. /r/Trans is (in theory?) a safe place for the trans community to interact with one another. /r/BreakingMom is a place where mothers can vent without repercussions and non-mothers are not welcome to contribute content.

None of that is possible in this hashtag design. The #trans hashtag will be a shitshow of offensive, triggering, and deliberately abusive content, and there's nothing the trans community could do about that.

Toxic users on your platform will drive out anyone they don't like, and the only recourse users will have is to ask you (the admins/moderators) to ban those users - and now you have to make the decision of all of the content that is allowed on the site. Are you going to allow transphobic jokes on the site? If so, you're going to drive away trans people (and anyone with a sense of decency). If not, you're going to have to constantly be banning people from the whole site and not just part of it.

I think it's a cool site, but I think this software could be used to replace only one subreddit and not all of Reddit itself.
Goes to show that supply and demand theory doesn't really work in practice.
Cool. Can you shed some light on how you handle the logistics of charging for it? Which payment processor etc. ?
I don't think the OP is necessarily arguing against the growth of CSS per se, I think they are arguing that CSS development is being pushed forward by an increasingly small group of people and companies.

CSS growth is in my view good, but it does sound like having more diverse people and organisations influencing it would be good for the community.
