> No, because the whole point of game shows is they restrict how often someone wins the jackpot, to make it profitable.

The most famous game shows of all time don't work this way.
of course, but i'd argue that too much of a single field is usually a case of a company that's actually in multiple businesses (see the mcdonald's example in a sibling thread).

my simplified perspective is a melding of the brandeisian (big is bad) and the chicago schools (economic efficiency for the win!), touched on in the article, so i certainly have no problems with synthesis in matters of antitrust. =)
The way I see it, if those lonely elderly people's days are brightened by being given a flower, who cares what the intentions of the flower-giver were?
From Reddit corporate's perspective, all of their free-labor mods disappearing is _not_ "a good time".

Really shouldn't be anyone's idea of a good time.
I’ve never had a Heineken that wasn’t skunky.
What avenue does the EU actually have to enforce it outside their territory if the business doesn't actually operate in the EU?

So, the solution is that everyone should write code as self-contained C++ code and not use any software libraries ever. Dependency hell has been solved for all time!
That is the entire point. Amazon has to make a decision better than what they did to handle the situation. What I am driving at is you call your delivery guy the N word has nothing to do with the extended services within the house. It just so happens Amazon owns a delivery service, and thus the shutdown spread from that into far more.

If somebody is harassing their delivery guy in any way, yeah, fine, don't deliver, make them pick it up at some location and use normal laws to deal with the harassment.

You would never get your amazon account canceled if the USPS worker said you called them a name.

In short, Amazon has to break up their business, at least when it comes for abuse issues on boundaries that have clear lines.

You fuck around with the Amazon deliver guy should not lock you out of your S3 account, shut and kill your AWS instances. Just as breaking some AWS rule should not prevent you from ordering and having delivered products from Amazon's main website.
Mr beasts viewers give him money because they enjoy the spectacle. Without the spectacle all the good he’s able to do would not be done. Sure his viewers could just give the money to the government instead, but without the spectacle they don’t want to. Isn’t convincing people to be more charitable good? How is that not what Mr beast is doing
For internet services this is possible through permanent decentralized storage and web apps building on top of that. Look into 'Arweave' for example, it already functions today, although there's still a lot of work to do to make it mass adoption ready.

Not a corporation in the classic sense but I guess what you actually care about is the product, not the company, correct? Such web apps exist and continue to function even when not maintained anymore, for years and possibly decades. The only thing that's tricky is storage payment, to be truly independent and not reliant on any outside input, I suspect there is no way around users having to pay for it.
Facebook isn't known for great design, so the fact they can't get it right tells us very little

Similarly with the MS/Apple - if they had already done all the work, they would allow you to force your scrollbar choice

> Corollary: there is always another option

What's your other option to only show wide scrollbar in large documents since these are the only ones I actually need scrollbar in?
I have hope that AMD can close that gap over the next few years. Their hardware is already great, and the business case for investing in AI software is crazy strong. Their stock price would probably get a bump just from announcing the investment.

It seems like a no brainer to hire a bunch of people to work on making PyTorch / Tensorflow on AMD become a competitive option. It’ll just take a few years.
The UK beer market is quite different, especially when considering cask ale.

This beer is unpasteurised and still fermenting in the cask when it leaves the brewery! The carbonation of the beer comes from creation of CO2 during fermentation, rather than injection of CO2 post-fermentation.

This makes for a pretty unstable beer, that doesn’t travel particularly well and should be consumed reasonably quickly!
> but I don't think the behavior here is surprising or strange at all.

Tell that to my junior coworkers. It's probably the single most common cause of async bugs in our codebase.
I don't think this is a very accurate description of how things work in Germany. It's exceedingly rare in any Western jurisdiction for the aggrieved party to press charges. This power is usually left to government prosecutors, who are probably more impartial than the complainant.
Did you buy that card for cuda? Cause otherwise I have no idea why someone would chose a 3050 over a 6600
Yeah I think it's really a good example of what I'm talking about. This is exactly the kind of thing that burns everyone eventually after they've done the job long enough, but which requires spilling a bunch of ink to describe why, which won't even work, because you just haven't been burned by it yet. And that's fine, this is just what accumulating experience is about. (And to make it worse, everyone's accumulated experience is different.)
at the bottom of the article is says "Solid support for MMS"
> Despite what you've been taught, every act of charity comes from a selfish need (ego).

This may be some kind of projection or just your personal opinion of society and human motivation. You aren't inside the brains of every human and can't possibly know everyone's motivations at all times. It's quite possible that some or many of them experience authentic altruism.
IPAs really suck. There’s a plethora of beer types, and we get hoppy trash forced on us.

Craft breweries love the IPA for three reasons. First, they’re one of the easiest beers to make. Second, they stay the most stable on the shelf/truck. Third, toxic style trend. But mostly, it’s the first two reasons.
ah yes, the modern western "I can't do my job as a parent" excuse
>In one of the (I think MIT lectures 2018) videos, btw? Gensler stated that [probably all crypto except Bitcoin, but including Ether, are moody moody most likely securities].

As recently as 2 months ago Gensler declined to say whether or not Ether is a security in front of congress.
Proof is alpha. No one gives that for free. Believe whatever you desire.
> Can someone give me some examples of philanthropy that is NOT predatory/extractive?

Richard Stallman and his work on free software?

I think what OP is saying is that at Mr Beast's income level, he can effectively create a lasting change that most of us can't. Instead he focuses on people individually, giving them nice gestures but nothing life-changing, and he continues to do this because his viewers demand these types of low-scale altruism. So effectively he's just an entertainer that earns his salary by doing small acts of kindness, nothing more.

It's like the old proverb in a way: "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. But teach him to fish, and you feed him for life". Mr Beast is just giving people fish for a day, but it doesn't help anyone after that one chance encounter with him.
Tangential caution to anyone wanting to try Pixelfed. Host your own instance and post on it. The official pixelfed.social is no better than Instagram in banning accounts for no reason except that the main developer of Pixelfed (who is also the admin of that instance) thinks of something as spam without reading and without issuing warnings or any indications. Unlike Instagram, which at least has an appeals process (in theory), he doesn’t respond to emails and doesn’t respond to queries sent through other platforms where he’s active either.

I learned it the hard way that whether you choose a centralized platform or decentralized platform, you’re at the mercy of algorithms or someone’s emotions and trigger happy fingers.

Your data is never your data when you’re on someone else’s hosted platform.

Something that loses value over time is the definition of a bad investment.
Obviously he is a smart, wonderful and likeable guy, but I have to say, I don't like the way he seems really presumptuous and I'm not really to keen on the way he brings political bias into his talk.

For example (he might be joking) but he asked ChatGPT 4 if most people think they're special and it said yes, and now that's in his slide. ChatGPT has given me a lot of misinformation. I mean he really should know this.

Honestly, most people I know don't think they're special, or special because they're sentient, I'd say most people I know think they're dumb and fallible and that a computer is already smarter than them.

How do you feel about open source development of nuclear weapons

Again, I get the argument, and everyone laughs, but they're getting developed by rogue stats now, in a closed source way. So we likely know less about nuclear weapons and their capabilities now than we otherwise would.

The worst suffering people have is pain

Is it? There's a huge list of very terrible ways people can suffer that don't involve pain.

Also, I really don't want to hear about Trump or Putin. They're just faces and symptoms of larger issues.

He is doing super well for a guy his age and I know this sounds a little ageist but I do have a feeling the chat bots have blown his mind, probably a lot more than they would've if he was in his 30's. This is not to say I think he is wrong, but I do question his views and I feel myself becoming suspicious about some of the things he says.
Sorry, former tax lawyer. We tend to be fairly candid about the way the tax system works.
The thing I love about MrBeast is that he's YouTube "Playing to Win" [0].

Google's YT algorithm is whatever it thinks makes Google the most money. "Doing YT right" is an oxymoronic statement, because YT doesn't care in the least about ethics.

MrBeast found a way to optimize algorithmic ranking, in a fairly altruistic and ethical way.

On the scale of "{Politician} hates {group}, see what to be outraged about" to "See what the drug companies don't want you to know, via this simple trick" YT optimization... MrBeast is comparatively saint-like.

Yes, but getting that to display still is bound to low performance and delay. It's meant for GPU related tasks to utilize resources solely for computing.
This is incorrect. The modern American Gordon Gecko derived brand of capitalism that helps people justify being selfish to themselves.

The OCEAN model demonstrates that we are distributed into camps of "principally considering self first" and "principally considering others first". You take the most high Trait-Agreeable people, and they will all routinely sacrifice their own resources, position, opinion and wellbeing for others. This is fundamentally where maternalism is rooted psychologically too.

But to your point - I agree that if people have benefited from it, then it's still a good thing.
Not for all goods and services, no. It's not just the basic necessities for life though.

And I'd assert it's not mostly due to income inequality.
When youtube was flash based that is how flash would save it's cache file for the stream. to save a video you would go looking for what file descriptors were in use and yank them out of I believe /dev/fd and back into the filesystem. On windows the file was visible but locked behind the normal windows file locking shenanigans. To copy locked files on windows I used a program called hobocopy that utilized volume shadow tricks to work around the locks.
CUDA had a lot of inertia and opencl brought half baked docs and half baked support out of the gate. If they had focused on simplifying their api to be more user friendly for the 80% use case it could've been a success. Opencl always looked nice on the surface but a few hours in and you've exhausted the docs trying to figure out what to do and there's no good example code around. Of course if they really wanted it to succeed they would've built a Cuda to opencl transpiler for the c api or at least a comprehensive migration guide. I'm not convinced anyone involved was trying to make it popular.
Fax is still a magical thing in healthcare specifically because of how easy it is to use under HIPAA.

HIPAA has all of these crazy rules for anything digital, but the second you switch to good ol’ telephony the rules all become “there’s no rule because hacking a telephony system would be a federal crime.” I’m not joking. Telephony is considered a “mere conduit” while the internet is not.

It really is stupid. HIPAA has all of these controls, but phones are just fair game.
Also, it seems like there may be some copyright implications as well? The more I think about this it really seems like Microsoft is opening itself to lots of liability issues with this policy.
I just left a job at Deschutes Brewery.

Craft Beer is in a real bad spot atm.
The latest Marvel movie makes hundreds of millions of people happy too.
As I understand, the attack is preformed by when someone mentions attaching a file to an email (i.e. "I've attached invoice.zip"), then that filename becomes a clickable link, and the user clicks it expecting to download the file, but is actually taken to the attacker's website which looks like WinRAR, and download malware from there.

To me this attack sounds too convoluted to actually get people, since you'll need to buy a lot of domains to match someone's email's contents
Sometimes you need a living example to set the boundaries on extremes. SF went extreme in a certain way that was becoming more popular, and likely the tide will come in now.
> lack of substantiation

Without this there is no action anybody can take...

We can't live in a world where accusations without evidence hold weight, nothing will get done and everybody can just accuse anybody of anything to get their way.

Unpopular opinion, but people need to grow up. You getting called a name should probably in any case, not be actionable.

And in retro, if you think a door bell called you a name you probably are unfit to deliver packages to any doors, and should seek mental help.
His high number of fans/views? People like him. They like watching him. They like what he's doing. Is that not overt celebration of what he's doing over someone else doing... whatever else on Youtube?
I love Steadman’s art but refuse to buy Flying Dog beer since their owner is a giant asswipe (don’t remember the details just something to do with mistreating employees).

Steadman also did the art for Anthony Bourdain’s cookbook - highly recommend that though.

edit: HST’s story on the Kentucky Derby features Steadman prominently and it’s my favorite of his after/along with Fear and Loathing and Hell’s Angels. It’s probably the most gonzo of the three as well.

edit: Corrected Flying Dog from BrewDog
Google only draws on the offline maps for me when I shut off my data. If I have a spotty connection, google maps will try and pull fresh data including the road mapping. Shut off LTE and suddenly the app works instantly.

> Absolutely a pity & a shame no one else has competed with this market dominance by Nvidia.

Well, at least you admit it's not Nvidia's fault. Apparently Apple, Intel and AMD don't think there's much money to grab here.
Carbon offsets are still an accounting scam.
> The SEC is not part of the executive branch.

You are mistaken. The SEC is very much a part of the executive branch.

> It is an independent agency

So is the CIA. This just is a term of art for a particular type of executive agency distinct from a cabinet department with additional insulation from political control. SEC commissioners are nominated by POTUS and confirmed by the senate, a characteristic unique to the leaders of executive branch departments.

So the 1000 people who can see now or hear “got one fish for a day”? Come on bro.

It should be up to society to ensure the health check doesn’t return just 200 OK but that everything else that makes that 200 OK possible is also actually fine.

MrBeast is an entertainer who happens to make a brand by doing stuff that does some impactful thing. More than most people.

Now those 2000 people who can see and hear.. maybe they have a new chance at life. Even if 1% of them become mega successful that’s 1-20 people who will go on to impact more than 2000 people EACH.

And they can tell people MrBeast was the reason.
Wireworld was part of the recurring Lisp Game Jam at itch.io [0] and the same jam also saw a submission by Spritely co-founder Christine Webber, called "Fantasary" [1] described as "prototype textual virtual world written on top of Spritely Goblins". The name is in reference to Fantasary [2] of the original Spritely project, representing a technology vision for object capabilities. Very cool.

Neanderthals themselves were barely a unique species compared to sapiens, and they had 100% Neanderthal variants. 4% of the genome consisting of their variants makes a variety, at best.
Because once they realize their supposed misery was exploited to make the stranger $10,000 it will probably not feel great.
The last one has to be an elaborate troll. Only a 4chan user would type "RIP Terry A. Davis" anywhere.
The best transit app I use is this ancient mobile website from my local transit agency. It just has a live map of a chose route and shows where the busses are, and it looks like its some original mobile web app type of stuff like from 15 years ago. What makes it great is how lightweight it is. If I have a spotty data connection or I want to preserve battery, I know I can rely on it a lot more than google maps or other bloated transit apps.
Those widgets randomly come back after updates for me, along with ads in the start menu, even if you spent time removing them.
Some of you may have had the experience of catching a show at Bottom of the Hill and reliving the NOFX song Scavenger Type:

Gigin alone at the bottom of the hill /
Our protagonist named Bill /
Sets his sights on an anchor steam pint /
All he needs is thirteen quarters /
Congregated in his hat

I swear they must have a pipe straight from the brewery for how fresh it is there.
> brewers like Anchor because they’re viewed as “too corporate”.

They are owned by Sapporo now, so there's that.
This is why I feel moderation, or perhaps curation is a better word, isn’t a bad thing. A hardcore 4channer might not think so, but I feel the lowest common denominator isn’t. That is to say it just produces a noise that isn’t beneficial at all unless you want to be tickled that way for the lulz.

r/askhistorians is a fantastic example where curation produces high quality insight and debate.
Simi related, but i’m really glad something like liquid death became a thing! I go to a lot of live events, especially concerts, and I can now reliably buy sparkling water at almost every event.

Beforehand my choices were absurdly overpriced beers, sweetened drinks, or plain water. I’m a big fan of sparkling water, so this new development is nice, even if I don’t particularly care about the branding gimmicks.
This is an income stream for him- is it really altruism if you make money off doing it? His "altriusm" doesn't really impact society at all. It is more targeted to individuals so he can make money off the videos going viral.

I mean, as an example - Keanu Reeves (IMO) is also altruistic and probably has had a far greater impact on society for the greater good than MrBeast, but no one ever talks about him. This is because Keanu doesn't talk about it, advertise it, or monetize it in the form of 'viral' videos.
> far more applicable to the question "then why were they allowed to go public?"

The SEC does not approve IPOs. This is made abundantly clear in the law and rules, it is hammered into every first-year securities candidate as part of their licensing and it is front and centre on every S-1.

“I’m going to give you 100 million dollars today to do fucked up shit for the next 10 years so you guys can stop annoying me” is basically the gist of these schemes.
Can't find the part where everything except bitoin is a security, I think that was said later in public.. But these are quotes from the lecture. Interestingly, lecture 18 is not available (it wasn't either when all of this was published), but it's right in the securities/regulations part. I'd highly recommend anyone to watch all of the lectures, because they're highly informational. Gary is a super smart guy. Many people think that regulators don't understand crypto etc, but I think Gary knows a lot more than many many people.

3/4 of the market is non-securities. It's just a commodity, a cash crypto.
So you'll hear debates about initial coin offerings. And what's a security? And what's not a security? Relevant-- relevant and important debate, but for 3/4 of the market, it's not particularly relevant as a legal matter, as a regulatory matter. "
