What killed USENET was the lack of moderation. And also spam.

Way in the early ages when nearly everyone was a professional or some sort of tech enthusiast, things were nice and pleasant.

But eventually the unwashed masses flooded in, and USENET had no way of dealing with some rude teen telling the lead C++ dev at Borland that he was an idiot. Gradually the best contributors decided they had better things to do, and wandered off elsewhere.

Moderation and spam filtering also sucked. Yeah, you could have kill files, but that had to be done by everyone independently. It didn't scale, and didn't prevent from plenty other people reacting to whatever jerk had wandered in.
There are an enormous amount of laws governing private equity. Clearly there is a lot of government control involved in the industry. Government actions basically makes PE possible in the first place.
Consciousness is a continuum not, a binary state. There are also subconscious processes at work.

After a bit of practice you don't have to think about all the intricate actions you have to take to drive a car or ride a bike. Consciously you can focus on something else while other parts of you are aware of your surroundings and what you need to do to drive/ride.

Same with simply walking. Unless you're in unfamiliar/dangerous terrain, you normally don't have to think about where you're going to put your feet or your balance. Your subconscious awareness and competence takes care of all that.

It doesn't mean you're not aware or conscious on some level and to some degree, though.
"For every dozen social media sites that die there's one behemoth to take their place."

Like Myspace did to Geocities. Like Facebook did to Myspace. Like TikTok did to Facebook. It's been a churn of platforms scaling too large, becoming too expensive to run, subsequently attempting to monetize users in a way that causes a flee that collapses the platform, with everyone running to the new hot thing thats burning through investor cash to promote unchecked growth.

IDK about living there, it's been ~6-7yrs since I last did, but San Francisco can be quite shocking to tourists/new arrivals (this article is about hotel stays which is a combo of tourists and business travelers). I remember feeling that when I first visited and the first thing I saw coming out of BART from the Airport was someone openly pissing next to the subway entrance, which contrasted weirdly with the beautiful views. I wrote it off at first until I saw it happen multiple times that week, then later just some guy sitting next to hit wall with his dick out. Later that same visit the girl I was with was robbed and the police never showed up after 3hrs waiting (apparently not a high priority).

Then there's the garbage and generally griminess of it. People are claiming it's gotten worse since then, which I can't personally attest to.

It's not like being a tourist/visitor in Manhattan or Austin/San Antonio or Chicago.

Maybe I'm biased having grown up in Toronto which is clean/safe.
That's a technicality - who in their right mind is going to choose edge on other platform if they are not already used to it from Windows.
G'day - just to add for British English, here it's pronounced 'ton' (same as a ton) rhyming with 'stun' or TUN if you will.

It's extremely rare (don't think I've ever heard it) - except maybe in some industries still, I don't know - but there's an interesting history of advocacy/use of saying 'ton-E' or 'tunnie', to disambiguate the same way AmE pronounces it 'metric ton'.
As regards the drugs and sex, I'm speaking from personal experience of people I've known. Easy enough to google "Tantra Scandal" and find examples, but you could argue that plenty of individuals in mainstream religions have abused their authority in a similar way. I'd argue that it's more prevalent in the places focused directly on sex and drugs, but I don't have a study of any sort to back me up.

I think that only makes sense when the constraints are political; the antennas have to be huge, which means they use a lot of metal, which could be used for a very very long transmission line.

A re-run of the Berlin Wall might do it, but only if the city to which that is an apt analogy is OK with totally enclosing it's entire land area in antenna.
They wouldn't be able to finance the creation of new content that would constitute more than a rounding error compared to all the writing produced by humanity in all of history that they got for almost nothing. The opportunities for new training data are in non-public documents like internal corporate and government documents and communication and private text messages and chat transcripts. After that, you have non-text sources like video and audio. Imagine paying people a few bucks per week to use an app that records all audio all the time, anonymizes it, and incorporates it into a training corpus, or paying for access to home security cam footage and audio. McDonalds could create a new revenue stream by recording all human speach and activity in every one of its kitchens and dining rooms.

They're already written off SF decades ago, has no one ever stayed at the Whitcomb?!

SF has some of the worst hotels I've seen anywhere. So much hasn't been updated for decades and it definitely shows.
Just had a look at R53 and the price calculation page alone is enough to scare most people of :) Also their .io pricing is $70 vs $40 with most other registrars.

> The hotels themselves are operated by other companies, and when Park Hotel defaults on a mortgage and walks away from the property, it means ownership of the property will change. That’s all it means for the hotel. The operating company remains the same.

I'm curious about this part. Is that actually true? That sounds like the contract that the management company has is with the lender to begin with rather than Park Hotels? Or is the contract structured in a way that even if Park Hotels sells, the new owner needs to honor that existing contract?
I thought it was going to be about making chiptunes from database changes.
> They didn't "fail to repay." Nobody ever repays this type of loan.

Largely, but not strictly true. When the property changes hands, the old loan is paid down by the original owner / creditor and a new loan is taken out by the new owner / creditor.
I think that the elections were the main reason for that financial / economic policy.
The "pinstripes" were totally there, and celebrated by many. Note that they are slightly translucent, too, just like the pinstriped housings of the plastic Macs of that era.

They really didn't look bad, though. I think if you zoom the image larger it will give you a better impression of what they actually felt like.

Assuming, for sake of argument, that the system was designed to lock up in a split-Congress scenario, that still only constitutes a working legislative system if congress represents the will of the people.

However, the combination of gerrymandering, the electoral college, lobbyists, etc. mean that congress no longer reflects the will of the people in a meaningful way.
It’s not infeasible it’s just not in the near term economic interest of the server owner to help facilitate the commenter’s rights

This is one of the biggest STRUCTURAL issues with the legal structure of property - you are not incentivized for supporting a common good.

The technology to build an embeddable comment widget on top of a framework that would compensate commenters based on their inputs is trivial at this point.

Good luck funding such a project though because every source of capital wants infinite return. So unless you’re willing to volunteer your technical time or have your own money to spend nobody will create and grow services like that because the economic incentives aren’t aligned between people who want to invest and … society at large at this point
AOP creates 'hidden coupling', something I found extremely common while working in java.

The logic seems to be that loose coupling is better than tight coupling, and what's looser than zero coupling? It's perfect!

The trouble is that zero coupling is not really possible in a working system. Instead what you've done is introduce 'hidden coupling', where one can't see the connections between components in the system from the code.

Hidden coupling makes understanding and maintaining a software system much harder than it would be otherwise.

Have to say my experience of propofol was pretty interesting.

It's this milky substance that is injected directly into your blood. The action seems to be super fast and super deep.

I remember the anesthetist talking to me while doing it, I think it's standard practice, and I pretty much vanished mid-sentence. As in, not just "I feel like I'm sleeping" that you get each morning or evening in bed, more like "time just vanished" kind of way.

Very hard to explain the speed with which you drop from awake to sort of sleeping to "there is no me". The way back is a bit slower but harder to pinpoint, but I knew something was different in the recovery room.
And when you pay off a loan with borrowed money the word for that is "refinance"
Circa 2000 I recall playing with a developers beta version of MacOS X approx 6 months or so pre-release. The move from motorola based power pc chips to x86 already felt a decade too late. And the nextstep & netbsd origins? Very "meh". Apache, Mosaic, Napster all crashing hard requiring system reboots. Apple was playing catch-up to professional grade sgi & sunos (which is what every one was using to build the early web back in those days) ;)
> They haven't been building equity.

Per the docs, yes. But any capital improvements made are building equity and would affect the LTV of the loan when it comes time to refinance (or default).
Before anyone makes the argument that the EU should have no jurisdiction over an American entity, please remember that Google sells its services in Europe. It's well within the jurisdiction of the EU to regulate how anyone does business here. Google Ireland alone had a 50B euro turnover.

The breaking up of monopolies used to be in the toolbox of American antitrust policies, back when America enforced antitrust legislation on its own companies.
You’re right, there is one month of warning; I’d misread July for June. If I could I’d just edit out that complaint as the timing is secondary to their deceptive messaging around domain registration price increases.

The dark pattern seems to have worked as many here are still discussing only the mail hosting announcement in which the change to their core service was buried.
The first time I learned about OS X, I blindly bought Apple shares. I knew it would set them up for success down the road. Sounds silly now but foundation, such as OS for a computer company, matter.

Although, OS X was painful for many years.
Right, midazolam (aka versed) is a common one. So is propofol (colloquially known as "milk of amnesia").

I've read some horror stories online about people having postoperative nightmares about what they experienced while on the operating table while under versed, so I was really afraid to take it when I went under general anesthesia myself.. but I've had it a bunch of times now, and never experienced anything like that myself.

My postoperative amnesia has been complete, and I'm happy for that.

On the other hand, I still worry about what I might have experienced that I don't remember.
Wrong thread
> Managing C++ dependencies _is_ much easier! It's either "run this setup exe" or "extract this zip file/tarball/dmg and run".

Not sure if that was half sarcastic, but from experience, anything touching c++ & CUDA has the potential to devolve into a nightmare on a developer-friendly platform (hello kernel updates!), or worse, into a hair-pulling experience if you happen to use the malware from Redmond (to compound your misery, throw boost and Qt dependencies in the mix).

Then again, some of the configurations steps required will be the same for Python or C++. And if the C++ developer was kind enough to provide a one-stop compilation step only depending on an up-to-date compiler, it might, indeed, be better than a Python solution with strict package version dependencies.
A Little Noise Makes Quantum Factoring Fail
This is what I was wondering. There's the idea of "neurons that fire together wire together" which would imply so. But that's a super reductionist take on a very big field.
Yeah I switch keyboard layout when I do programming. The US layout is so much better suited for the task that it's not even funny.
As someone who would've never done this age 10-40, experienced extremely severe trauma at age 40, then started having uncontrollable rage fits age 40-43 (it's mostly subsided now, but I still do get more irritated than I used to) I wouldn't be so quick to judge. I thought the same as you before something happened, but it turns out PTSD is a hellofa drug. It's not something you're able control. I didn't learn my way out of it through maturity, I grinded my way through it losing friends along the way. I have no idea what caused me to stop either, other than just distance from the trauma.
I think her argument is that while QE on its own is not necessarily inflationary, as it increases base money supply but not necessarily broad money supply, fiscal deficits are inflationary due to them ending up directly as broad money. And… This does seem to be the case, I can’t think of any government spending that wouldn’t directly become broad money.

Note also that she’s not implying that therefore not raising the rates would reduce inflation. In fact she states clearly that this would lead to even more problems and picks on Erdogan for doing this.

Her argument seems to be that inflation is going to be persistent for the foreseeable future until something changes. E.g. commodities becoming cheaper due to external factors and/or debt to GDP ratio slowly getting inflated away as inflation persists and rates stay just below it.

I believe the line markings is for water when you cook rice.

You add 9 cups of rice (perhaps with the plastic cup that comes in the box), then fill it up to the 9 cup line with water. Once cooked, this will produce perfectly cooked rice.
She took the smarter approach of Wolf Richter selling a doom-tinted "alt econ" narrative, but has monetized it with a paid newsletter with stock picking advice. Very clever.

I will add though, that academia has been taken over by Keynesians for decades, effectively establishing themselves as "standard economic theory" and not giving any funding to competing ideas.

The problem is that you need to press multiple keys with the same hand. Typically when touch-typing you press modifier keys with the other hand, to avoid having to move the hand in awkward ways, or typing with the left hand on the right side of the keyboard or some other weird solution.

On top of that, alt+7 is spectacularly awkward, as you need to curl one finger really aggressively and extend another to reach both keys.

Many of these keys are indeed accessible with a single keypress in US QWERTY. That, or a simple shift-combination. They're also much closer to the letter keys across the board.

Couldn't proportional representation work if the president is selected via electors? Parties get a portion of the electors and then need to form a coalition that has enough electors to select the president.
Thanks for expanding. I think for me I get confused with getting a lot of value out of something that's free, user friendly and highly moderated (self moderated and actively) and wanting to show that I value that. Naively it would be that thing "money" in some way or another. But the gotcha is, it's lots of these little threads where a writer is going out of their way to shed insight on something and it clicks for me (aka great value). So I would have kinda liked to give post facto user driven "tips", but then imho micro transactions perverts incentives on a micro individual level. So you might still say all these things you said now (without any chance of getting "a coffe" or a couple of "bits") but you could also start to change your tone to make it stand out more, to provide "better content", so you spice up your takes and act more distinguishable to get tips. Or as in your case, stop posting all together. So I don't want micro transactions here even if I sometimes actuall would like to pay someone thanks somehow.

Sorry I meant codepoint/characters, but it would not suprise me if there existed an encoding or language where my wording would be technically correct, but I do not know of any such encoding. I also did not know that there exist more then 5 combinations in Unicode, but I'm not supprised and my implementation is probably buggy. But I do challange you to test how well your favourite editor (terminal emulator cough) handles Unicode emojis.

Poetry itself said Composer and Cargo were the main inspirations[1]. Both of them work differently from NPM; Poetry has mostly the same differences that its claim checks out. You would be in quite some surprises down the road if the sperficial similarities persuade you to apply one tool’s paradigm to another.

What does “that bad” even mean? Like in some kind of relative sense, people still live there and go about their lives. Some of the things that made it a popular and pleasant city are intact. In an absolute sense, if you were to compare SF with Zurich, you would conclude that it’s a lawless mad max anarchy.

Several social media platforms, notably Facebook and Twitter, have (or had) marketing campaign teams that help their clients focus their marketing campaigns on particular segments of interest.

Complexity: Deno or Postgres or DigitalOcean or Me?
The specifics:

I am trying to get my (new-to-me) Deno web server talking to a Digital Ocean managed database instance running postgres using remote access.

I just can't get there from here. I'm new to Deno, and tried both of the postgres modules I can find (postgres & postgresjs). I have a pretty standard DO droplet and a DO managed Postgres(ql) instance. I am trying to switch from using KOA - my favorite nodejs webserver which works - to Deno. I used the same string I use with psql to access the database when using Deno. It works with nodejs (the pg module) & psql. With both modules on Deno it fails with an invalid TLS blah, blah, blah.

The question:

So why am I posting this on HN? Because for the first time, I think I am going to abandon a new technology because the world is just too complex. I am unhappy about this, but it has made me think about how very, very many pieces need to work together. Is Deno good? Yes, (despite the TypeScript). I would like to adopt it. Is Postgres good? No, it is great! Is DO good? No, it is great (for me).

I adopt new technology all the time, within reason. Nginx, Docker, React Hooks, Threejs. Yup.

As a sole developer I take a pass on some things. Kubenetes - way to high a barrier for one person. TypeScript - it solves a problem for that in most cases I can avoid with `function foo({duckstring, frognumber})`. AWS - I can't afford a surprise bill for $10k. But none of these reasons or ones like them apply to Deno. It is clear to me why I don't go down these roads. The cost-benefit analysis is wrong for one person. But turning away from Deno is not this case.

So what is going on here? There is a possibility DO is the problem. Or Postgres is the problem. Or (gasp) even that I am the problem.

But when you think of how much Nodejs is out there and how many other pieces it connects to, maybe the lesson is that you can't replace. Maybe it explains why some technologies haunt us years/decade after it is clear they are inferior?

Just thinking.
"But that other guy is just as bad" is never a good argument.
Well, the functional programming promise is that output is a function (pun intended) of inputs, no side effects allowed, thus you can understand any given function by reading only its code, no additional context required.
