“There can be many of the same name”… is this not a glaring issue? Surely unique names are a requirement for a successful social platform?
If content is ephemeral, by default, at least allow usernames to be unique for that same period; i.e. register a username and, so long as one contributes to and interacts with the platform, ownership of the identity cannot change. Your Pro users can, naturally, register a username for “life”, whatever that means in 2023. ;p
The real estate market is extremely distorted by local governments, through imposing restrictions on where houses can be built, how large they can be, etc. To some degree this makes sense, because you want people to be able to enjoy nature or the city wants to be able to plan which roads to build out, but on the other hand, the focus on SFH urban sprawl plus the prospensity to avoid density increases leads to extreme price increases and losses to quality of life. There is huge demand for walkable high density neighborhoods, but the market cannot meet it because government.
There's a term for this very specific feeling of ickyness: the Orphan Crushing Machine. It comes from this tweet, https://twitter.com/pookleblinky/status/1309325764739858432, which reads:

> "Every heartwarming human interest story in america is like "he raised $20,000 to keep 200 orphans from being crushed in the orphan-crushing machine" and then never asks why an orphan-crushing machine exists or why you'd need to pay to prevent it from being used."

You're 100% right. It's nice that MrBeast paid for those simple and cheap surgeries to restore people's vision, and it's abhorrent that it required someone with money to decide to take that step for the problem to be solved.
I recently discovered to my dismay that Firefox uses Windows 11's setting for whether to hide the scroll bar. And it's hidden by default. Though FF is happy to hide them by default on its own anyway. I can't imagine how this is a good thing for end users for whom computers are already unpredictable and difficult to understand. Modern UX is a nightmare.
The games situation is pretty good nowadays, it is amazing just how well Proton can work. But if that one title you want is completely broken, I couldn't sell you Linux at all.

I have found it isn't usually the games that are the issue but the utilities. They are almost always alternatives but a lot of the time, you don't want the alternative - you want that specific program. Wine compatibility can be good but it can also be very strange. Notepad++ for instance, it works... but hits my systems CPU harder than GTA V. Go figure!
What would be an example of a difficult problem?

It’s a bad idea to build a drone if you don’t know the answer to that question.

To give you an analogy, DJI drones are like automatic cars-> easy enough to operate with some guidance and a day or two of practice. A custom built drone is like a manual sports car with the added bonus of more complicated controls because they are completely, manual which means you have to be able to fly it in all 6 degrees of freedom. But you can definitely get the hang of it, you just have to crash a lot of them first.

I don’t mean to discourage you from trying because once you do learn it’s really rewarding and you can do absolutely insane maneuvers at really high speed. Good luck! The keyword you’re looking for is “FPV drones”
Not religious but I remember Jesus's words (lol):

> Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
> So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
> But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing
> so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

I agree with this, it all depends on your motivations of your acts. If you give to be seen you're just seeking attention but of course for the receiver it's not less valuable.

It seems he gives some money to make more money (views), is that something altruistic? I don't think so.

Erm, no, neither random for one of the current biggest scam machines, nor usually very hostile, just deserved from one side and much attached sensitivities on the other, imo.
There's a handful of bars throughout NY that you can see at least Heady Topper at. In the capital region, Albany Ale & Oyster and The Ruck will have it with regularity. Seeing Focal Banger is much rarer, and then all their other beers are essentially taproom in Stowe only though.
This was certainly it.

Also, I don't know about the legality/ethics of it, but it would be really cool to see Reddit Moderators work with someone to mirror reddit submissions to Lemmy. At the very least it would promote further discussion of who owns the content of reddit.com, as curated entirely by volunteer mods.
Yeah, that won’t happen. As with anything; by far and large most people don’t care. As long as it’s fun, people will play. That statically generated sludge looks often better than what most humans come up with and sure, some (very few) humans are still better, but not for very long. That said, the speed and price of using AI are so much better and if you have 0 talent, like me, you can iterate for days for pennies. There is no going back.
I would assume not. I don't think he thinks of it as a charity, but the tension between continued profit and doing amazing things in this case doesn't bother me. I think it's positive in that the better he does the more people he can impact. Transactions can be incredibly positive even if they are dispassionate.

I understand your point. It's a good one and well taken. Very eloquently put.

Those two things are definitely not always aligned and probably arent always in this case either.
For me Python's main use cases are being BASIC replacement, and a saner alternative to Perl (I like Perl though) for OS scripting.

For everything else, I rather use compiled languages with JIT/AOT toolchains, and since most "Python libraries" for machine learning are actually C and C++, any language goes, there is nothing special about Python there.
What do you call the group of developers who control write access and pull request approvals for the Bitcoin Core GitHub repository? You can't just apply to become one of these devs; they're grandfathered in from the early days. And they're the sole group who effectively have the final say on what features make it into the network protocol.

To me, that sounds like a centralized team employing centralized decision making.
Top comment is exactly what I expected it to be.

Here we have some dude who is earning money by helping people - yet for some reason this is one of the biggest sins he can do in eyes of a lot of people. Why? Just because he can't help everyone?

This is so weird take on the matter. What are you doing to help people? Are you taking credit for that work? And if not would you not be able to help more people if you had some notoriety?

There are things that you can criticize MrBeast on - like the MrBest Burger internet kitchens - but him making money off of helping people is not one of them.
I don't follow what relationship these two stories have with each other -- the first is on living in community and putting down roots, and the latter is on far-right cultural atavism.
In the article, he has a CodePen embedded that would be UNUSABLE if it didn't have decent custom scroll bars. This post is so egregiously bad.
I don't want to sound to harsh, but my desktop environment and I know how we want our scrollbars to be and why. Web designers from thousands miles away do not.

Furthermore having the need to style scrollbars to make a UX work smells of bad UX design. Given a full screen page, is there really no space for the standard OS scrollbar (or my custom one,) which users see all day long every day they use their computer? Is the OS's UX really so bad that must be improved by a web app? It's wasted designer and developer time.
It's a flywheel with exactly one input: YouTube. If YT changes their rules or payout schedule tomorrow, it all goes away. But sure, for the time being he's hit the infinite charity glitch.
FDIC is great, sure. But there's a significant difference in risk in having $500 in Amazon gift cards versus that store in the dying mall that's probably going to be gone in six months. And it's reasonable to try to figure out which one Coinbase is.

There are many value that are neither trivial nor worth the effort of upgrading from pretty safe storage to completely safe storage.

If you're implying it was because it was sold to Sapporo, it's possible the causality is wrong. It might have been sold because it was difficult to operate profitably, especially given how much the craft beer market has intensified.
I wouldn't actually mind going back to DOS, like FreeDOS. Or even Windows 2000, with some updates for SSE, AVX, and other instructions. Operating systems have been getting in the way of the software that runs on top of them for over twenty years now and it's annoyingly become the norm.
Right, but actually I chose the job I'm doing now because I believe it's good for the world. I've put a lot of hard work into bootstrapping a renewable tech company, and made sacrifices to do so. That's why I felt annoyed at the implication.

"Vote with your feet" is probably a more realistic strategy for enacting this kind of change, so to deny that there are software jobs that are not part of the problem is a bit defeatist. I'd be all in favour of a general strike on building adtech, though I personally couldn't participate.
My personal recipe (on NixOS) is pip-ed virtual environment for quick tests, or conda inside a nix-shell, on top of a dedicated zfs pool/conda mounted in ~/.conda with dedup=on so nothing nixified and nothing that last a nixos-rebuild...

Many pythonic projects not only in ML world tend to be just developers experiments, so to be run as an experiment, not worth to be packaged as a stable, released program...

Oh, BTW projects like home-assistant fell in the same bucket...

Just because most users don't think about it doesn't mean it doesn't impact them and that they should be ignored. The very fact that they can't fight for the solution that best benefits them means the onus is on us as designers and programmers to do that for them, instead of handwaving their needs away.
For me it’s doubly amazing that Intel does not exist in those discussions about alternatives that are already rare. They should write a book about how to blow up a successfully semiconductor company from the inside.
I've seen Anchor Steam in good beer bars and stores on the Gulf coast, East coast, and great lakes. In Houston I have no trouble (until now, I guess) finding one or two of the magnum size Christmas ales to take to holiday parties and have been doing so for several years.

I have never lived in California.
In this particular instance you'd have to disambiguate with "I have" or "I had", I alone would mean the wrong thing.
When I initially started to learn Python (1.6), virtualenv was starting to be adopted, and since then thing have hardly changed.

It also helps that even minor versions introduce breaking changes.

I doubt anyone really knows Python that well, unless they are on the core team.

She's making the point that for some products there might not ever be a path to compliance. Heroin is an example here because it's really clear what would happen.
I can see that being a good argument. Just because you run a casino that never cashes out doesn't mean it shouldn't be regulated as a casino.
But Xerox has admitted that the character substitution was enabled on all compression levels even though they claimed it was only active on one specific level.

So theoretically, everyone who archived during that time using Xerox WorkCentres has to question their documents.
> A nonprofit reddit would need a lot more money I think.

I don’t think so. The whole of stackoverflow is run from a single (though quite powerful) machine. Server/operation costs are cheap, employees are the big cost.

I think a donation-based model could trivially finance the service costs.
Should foreign owned media obey the laws of the countries they operate in, or be supranational and above those laws?
They're just a file, so git can see it. Good habit would be to add it to the project's gitignore, or your global gitignore (or both)
Yikes... login.gov is such a well-made piece of software in my experience, it's a shame the IRS is using something from the private sector. The GSA makes some surprisingly good tech for being a part of the federal government.
Election structure

Elections are always-ongoing affairs, they never stop.

This seems absolutely, horrifically, terrible. Under such a system, no leader will ever lead, instead, a leader will grandstand constantly. You'll end up with moderators that spend all day, every day, playing a popularity contest.
Yes. That the society works, and has worked for two decades, is fascinating.

A few things help with stability. There's a fully open source clone, Open Simulator, and sizable grids which use it. The number of users is not huge, but it's large enough to offer an alternative. This keeps Linden Lab management from getting too uppity.

Landowners have considerable power over what people can do on their land, but no power outside it. This distributes authority. It removes the need for the armies of minimum-wage goons armed with ban hammers that Facebook and Roblox employ. Second Life has a "governance" department. It's tiny and rarely seen.

Space is what keeps everything from being in the same place. The annoyance radius of a jerk is about 100 meters, in a world the size of Los Angeles. Somewhere in Second Life, a few people are probably being jerks right now. They're mostly being ignored and will probably give up. There's no way to spam to the whole world. Nor is there any way to advertise to the whole world.

This kind of stability is rare online.

In 2017, the SEC issued the DAO Report [1]. It—together with guidance around ICOs—made the status quo per the SEC super clear. Investigations and enforcement take time, but the rules of the game were known; the industry had been working to change the status quo.

If you want to know whether something is legal or not, you talk to a lawyer or (less reliably) law enforcement. When Coinbase asked the SEC if it needed to register, without—to my knowledge—exception, it said yes.

> but the culture of the board won't always be conductive to discussion.

A friendly nitpick: the word 'conductive' is a physics term. The term which means 'tending to cause or bring something about' is conducive, with no t, and is pronounced 'cundoosiv'.
The SEC doesn’t make the laws. It’s a dispute between these two entities. Court will have to decide.
I don't understand why people keep bringing up the OS in this discussion. The OS doesn't have anythign to do with the look and feel of a web page, it's the browser that decides on a default look. And even for native apps, there is no "OS look and feel" - at least not on Linux or Windows. A Win32 button doesn't look exactly like a XAML button not like an MFC button, and definitely not like a UWP button. A Gnome button doesn't look like an XFce button, nor like a Plasma button.

Also, people like it this way! The OS is just a dumb layer that my hardware vendor is forcing on me. I care much more that Word works the same when I switch from a Dell laptop to an Apple one than some OS preference.
Why do rodents like wheels? Like, innately?
Where in the Midwest?

In the entire IL-WI-IN region the only high end mall I can think of that is even remotely comparable to Valley Fair or Santana Row in San Jose is Oakbrook Center by McD's HQ, but that still feels a bit trashy compared to some of the ones in California (no offense meant at Chicagoland btw)

The upscale malls here in California have pivoted to cater to Asian and Latino tastes and sentiments - both are communities which are fine with Malls as a social construct. The kinds of upscale malls here like the Westfield in La Jolla and San Jose or Santana Row are definetly catering to someone who has experienced malls in Asia and Latin America, where it is a much more upscale experience.

The types that cater to Western sentiments seem to be dying though in the Bay Area (eg. Westfield SF didn't pivot unlike Stonestown Galleria and is now dying).
How much do companies buy upvotes for on Reddit (or on HN?) at present? It would be interesting to compare that figure with any proposed pricing structure.
>Rural hospitals were always on a time limit, there isn't enough people sticking around for rural or small town to keep the business running.

That seems overly focused on the economics. Which are important, but when someone in one area needs to travel 100 miles to the nearest hospital, while another has a dozen hospitals within a 35sq mile area, there's a problem.

Considering only the operating costs ignores the people rural hospitals serve.

Which is why a single-payer system of some sort in the US is how we get out of this, reducing overhead/profit/middlemen and (potentially) redirecting those resources to providing decent care to everyone in the US.

If we don't move that forward, healthcare company execs will continue to channel Maxey Eckstein[0]:

On his first day as a bus driver, Maxey Eckstein handed in receipts of $65.
The next day his take was $67. The third day's income was $62. But on the
fourth day, Eckstein emptied no less than $283 on the desk before the
cashier.

"Eckstein!" exclaimed the cashier. "This is fantastic. That route never
brought in money like this! What happened?"

"Well, after three days on that cockamamie route, I figured business would
never improve, so I drove over to Fourteenth Street and worked there. I tell
you, that street is a gold mine!"

There's also the problem of fine tuning -- why is the fine structure constant roughly 1/137? If it were different from its current value by a tiny amount, the universe as we know it wouldn't exist. Is the anthropocentric principal the only explanation we have -- it has the value it has because it produces a universe in which we're able to observe it?

And I guess less formally there's also the problem of complexity: condensed matter physics exists because trying to solve the standard model for a solid directly is both incredibly infeasible (think "cost of flipping bits in the calculation far extends that of all matter in the observable universe") and fails to capture the emergent phenomena in a natural way.
It was a valid rhetorical comparison about their business model. The parent wasn't able to read it properly, and just knee jerked their response.
You need to compare it with similarly cold state + adjust for house size. I bet difference would be like 20%.

> It's not the job of regulatory agencies to advise companies on how to become compliant with the law and their rules.

Honestly this should be a core mission of all regulatory agencies and the fact that it isn't is a disgrace.
Pardon my ignorance, but what possibilities? It’s been more than 10 years since BTC was promoted as “peer-to-peer money transfer with no middle men!”, but in all western countries this idea has been rejected by public due to limitations posed by blockchain itself (e.g. no reversals). The past 6 years, all I’ve seen is either ICO scams, or casino-like trading which impacts the poor mostly (same concept as why lottery is being bought by poorer population at large).

We can’t even say “oh, it’s not even mainstream yet!”, as I’m sure almost everyone has heard of Coinbase, FTX, Crypto.com and etc. through superbowl ads or casual bar conversations. So, I get a bit confused nowadays when people say “US will lose by not adopting the technology”, since there’s nothing really to adopt yet.
In the very next paragraph she explains the analogy:

> These three functions — bringing together securities orders for buyers and sellers, trading securities on behalf of others, and intermediating trades — are typically required to be separate due to conflicts of interest that emerge when one entity controls all of them.

She is saying it is like Heroin.

>> >The company could decide the FDA was wrong...

> But why would they decide this? Since Heroin is, again, illegal.

She is pointing out how absurb it is that Coinbase has decided the SEC is wrong (about the separation of roles) since - as you point out - not having the separation of roles is illegal.
A comment could store a “head”/grandparent comment and a direct parent as well. For a top comment, every other comment could be fetched that has it as head, and the actual relationships can be reconstructed on server/client side as needed.

Then they are processing for a long time (which is understandable). The next morning — nothing happened, import disappeared, photos didn't appear.
