Multi-millionaire as the typical valuations of start-ups go. Getting 50K paying users would be absolutely amazing out of the gate. Many web properties with a fraction of that are worth in the millions.
I did this in order to get hands-on experience in building a platform like this. A lot goes into it, even though it doesn’t seem so by looking at what is rendered. Full stack, from data model to frontend client. I was new to Keycloak, TypeScript and React, and this was challenging enough to learn how to use the technology behind. I learn best by doing.
>Everyone who says this naturally excludes pedophiles, nazis, or any other "undesirables" in their given society, whoever is deemed to be socially unacceptable in the current moral framework.

I get your point, but I disagree.

I won't say (because it isn't true) that "my strongest belief is that all people have an equal right to exist and pursue their own purpose."

However, as you point out there are those who are "deemed to be socially unacceptable in the current moral framework." I agree that subjective standards have no place in the law -- anywhere.

I do believe that all sentient beings have agency. But in a free, open society, such agency needs to be constrained in order to promote social cohesion.

That said, we shouldn't attempt to restrict what someone believes. Rather, we should restrict the actions of others to infringe on the rights of others within a society.

To use your examples, there's nothing "wrong", per se, with being a "pedophile" (that is, a person who is attracted to/sexually desires pre-pubescent children), but actually abusing children to satisfy those desires infringes on the rights of those children and should be (and in most places already is) restricted/criminalized.

As far as "nazis" are concerned, again holding beliefs in accord with nazi-ism/white supremacy isn't "wrong", but taking action in support of such beliefs may well be wrong (e.g., shooting up a church full of African-Americans or a synagogue full of Jews, etc.) when it infringes on the rights of others.

To put a fine point on this, there's nothing inherently wrong/evil/bad about believing that sex with four year-olds or killing jews and people of color is right and good. Personally, I find such beliefs to be repugnant, but that doesn't give me (and shouldn't give the government either) the right to restrict those people from holding/sharing such beliefs.

At the same time, should someone act on those beliefs (e.g., abusing children, killing Jews or blacks, etc.), the government should absolutely at least attempt to stop (and/or detain/incarcerate) folks who are actually infringing on the rights of others.
Unlike Reddit, most of Meta's apps are commonly used on mobile. Furthermore, all the apps you listed actually bring long term value in the form of real life social and business relationships. Emotionally and economically Reddit has not nearly as much of an impact.
I have never processed this data. You can find patterns for triangulation, and see where the cells are as this or this hour. Then you look at the calls and the texts (not using data, sms and phone calls) and determine their links. Mix this with credit card information and banking info and you have their names, shopping patterns, location and who that are in contact with through calls and texts (off the top of my head). With the data, you can see people's sites they visit from the ISPs, but with https and SSL not get everything, but you can get a very good idea from that.

Finally, all you HN people are coming around to my critique of capitalism and venture capital. It leads to this almost by design, and much more… also leads to the polarization of our society: https://rational.app

I think the model demonstrate how the ’enshittification’ process is an inevitability with any social media that is run on a venture capital model.

Yes, it is called “extracting rents” in economics, and it is why, say, Uber drivers pay 50% of their salary to a company with 1 worker per 1 million people. It’s the shareholders. You see, to build Uber requires a few million dollars, but the “dream” is sold to entrepreneurs that they can become billionaires. VCs discover the startup and “reduce friction” with money-losing economics until it goes IPO. Then the whole thing is dumped on the public, and everyone who bought at X dollars a share wants the price to go up, and that means extracting rents from all the sides of the market.

There is a far better model of funding projects without this failure mode of shareholders, namely utility tokens, where the community owns the network. I know, I know… “web3 sux” and all that. Well, it doesn’t have to be Web3. Check this: https://qbix.com/Twitternomics.pdf

It makes sense, but I'm leery of trusting the USPTO because they have been saddled with (intentionally?) godawful incentives: they must pay for all their operations using patent fees. The more trolling they enable, the more money they get. Based on these incentives, I would expect the USPTO to oppose rule changes that effectively reduce trolling.

Joseph Stiglitz agrees with greedflation.* He is a Nobel Prize winning economist.
I believe greedflation is easy to prove - huge increase in profit margin without a corresponding increase in costs, and public corpo PR focused on “inflation” as an excuse. It’s easy to prove with data.

IMO there are economists who talk about economics as a cult/religion, described by alt-economist Steve Keen as “economism”. One needs to distinguish between them.

I don’t say this snidely, but more than 7,000 subs openly committed to going private in advance of today.

Given you can get these now for 1/4 the cost of a Vision Pro, I think dev interested in Vision Pro should pick up a Quest Pro now and then you have both ecosystems to play with / compare and ultimately, if you are building something where it works, ship it on both.

>A lot of the nonsense around shredding hard drives is just the drive industry convincing people that they need to destroy perfectly good devices.

Unless you're willing to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that each and every such hard drive does not in any shape or form contain sensitive information and pay hefty fines and jail time when you inevitably fail, the only nonsense here is you. It has been proven time and time again that data once written can be and will be recovered.

Any storage media that contains or contained sensitive information must be physically destroyed. That is the only surefire, foolproof way that we currently know of to securely and permanently delete sensitive information.

This makes a lot of sense. Then again, people flock to the largest communities because that where they are most likely to get quick answers or just find a stream of novelty. Being in a small forum feels like "missing out". I think the fediverse can solve it, if it allows for aggregated communities.

If no one can afford it, does it matter if it can cure everything?
On an individual scale it matters.
On a massive scale like a country, more affordable but less good is overall better for the whole country,but not for the individual.

As an example, in the US you pay thousands for an ambulance call, get to hospital, pay hundreds of thousands, insurance (for which you pay thousands more per year) covers most of it, except they're trying to cheat you out of as much as possible so they pay less, and in the end, all amerikans are one incident away from bankruptcy.

In most if not all of Europe, you pay health taxes, but not in the upper thousands, get good doctors, and don't end up bankrupt for breaking your arm or hip. And the ambulance is free (as in your taxes pay for it).
Fair point. I agree with the sentiment of "you can do whatever you want, except [..]", in the sense that I think we should err on the side of personal freedom. To be clear, I don't think focusing on "the free exchange of ideas" means other freedoms aren't important, and I'm not proposing a constitutional amendment or anything. It's just that from a rhetorical perspective I prefer to use terminology that encourages the strongest possible interpretation of the argument I'm making, and I think, for me at least, "the free exchange of ideas" does that best for all the reasons I named in my original comment and its replies.

The problem is that it puts a hard cap on how many people can enjoy your home theater, so that might be an issue. If you already have a space carved out for a home theater and were thinking of entertaining >2 people then I'm not entirely sure what the value add of the headset would be. In my opinion the benefit comes in getting a home-theater-like experience that you can bring anywhere and not have to dedicate space in your home for.

Third party developers will definitely be capable of adding a sync feature like you're describing but I have no clue if they will.
Many mainstream programming languages implement procedures and functions with the same syntax, and call procedures functions. Procedures can take arguments and return a value, like functions, but also have side effects. Nobody asked for this terminology mixup; it just happened in the reference manuals of programming languages. Lisp calls procedures functions; so does C.

Programming with procedures isn't functional programming; it is procedural programming. This is true even when the procedures are first-class procedures, and are used in declarative patterns like mapping, reducing and so on. There is no word which refers to programming with first-class procedures in a declarative style. It is different from "Fortran-like procedural", and is rooted in OOP. First class procedures are objects; and in fact in many languages you can take a solution based on first class procedures and replace those procedures with objects. Mutated lexical variables become member variables (or slots) and so on.

The rhetoric in this area conflates two meanings of "pure" and "purely", causing equivocation.

- "pure X" as in "consisting of nothing but X" and "purely X" meaning "solely X"

- "pure" as in having no side effects: a pure expression can be replaced by its value without a change in meaning.

A "not purely functional language" uses "purely" in the former sense. The language emphasizes functional features, but has procedural features also. It doesn't refer to a language which emphasizes declarative programming patterns around first-class procedures, though such a language can fit the description.

A "not purely functional program" likewise: it emphasizes functional programming but has procedural bits in there. It doesn't refer to the program being composed entirely of the declarative use of higher order procedures, like mapping over collections while doing I/O or mutation and such.

If we take the value of a variable and then filter it through functional stages, only to then assign the transformed value into the same variable by assignment, that is an example of "not purely functional". The data transformation is functional; the assignment isn't.
I think it's one of the things they got right with the Quest Pro. It doesn't touch your face and is carefully designed so that all the support is via the forehead. It causes discomfort for some people but the upside is you put it on and off and it doesn't disturb your face or hair.

Would you say profitability is an issue per se?

It seems to me that users should _want_ their community platform to be profitable in order to sustain, but not "too profitable" (=greed) or the sense of community vanishes.

If that is true, is it the responsibility of the online citizen to interact/transact on a platform with the "right" degree of profitability (not too small, or it'll close tomorrow, but also not to greedy, or enshittification occurs)?

PS: How profitable exactly is "right" - reminds me of the family game where the winner is the "most average" person - scoring points closest to the arithmetic mean instead of the person with the max. score.

>greedflation is easy to prove - huge increase in profit margin without a corresponding increase in cost

But how would the cost of the previous few years (uncertainty from covid, war etc) show up in the current price? I doubt they have a line item for the risk/hardship the business had to go through over the past few years, but it's definitely going to have some cost that's expressed at a later time in prices. How would you account for that?
I want to point out that the argument has never been “greedy laborers” in the pejorative sense. The argument has been that laborers need to rationally account for future inflation, which itself contributes to inflation.

The reason that corporate profits aren’t often mentioned is simply that people had expected competition to naturally curtail profits, since in a competitive market, manufacturers should happily lower prices (a bit) to capture more market share and thus more profits. The fact that doesn’t seem to be happening is why this cycle is interesting and why we are now talking about it.

No, it is cynical, ignorant, and lazy, but I don't think it qualifies as racist. I would compare it to those people who like to claim they "don't see race". It isn't actually racist because it isn't discriminatory or putting one race above another. It is just ignoring something that often can't be ignored.
This assumes that three letter agencies care about the law at all. They'll either come up with some other legal rationale that sidesteps the clear intent of the laws which would otherwise protect the rights of the American people or they'll just ignore it. I'd actually prefer it if at this point they just openly admitted that they were going to grossly violate our rights than this game where they smile and tell us how free we all are while they continue to come up with insane legal theories, imaginary guardrails against abuse, and toothless regulations which ultimately let them get away with doing whatever they want anyway. A little honestly would be very refreshing.
I have experienced what you're describing while gaming on my personal VR headset, but never with Vision Pro.

Yes, the climate has been changing for billions of years. But the _rate_ of change has increased by several orders of magnitude since humans starting burning fossil fuels. We have the data, and the mechanism by which greenhouse gasses work is also very well understood.

Yes? Why is that hard to accept? Jobs with positive externalities are by definition undercompensated.
The idea of "greedflation" is strange, it seems to only be understandable if you start with the (unconscious?) assumption that workers cannot be the losers of inflation.
