This seems very naive to me. There are enough people yelling "OK Groomer" at me on certain platforms that I know the signal to noise ratio is bad enough that engaging is at best a waste of time and at worst getting more soundbites than I could possibly debunk, so I lose the optics part of the debate by default.

See "Never Play Defense" from the alt-right playbook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmVkJvieaOA

And as an aside - HN is not guilt free on this topic. There's a general tendency for comments to go right past the topic even outside this. For instance, every remote work thread turns into a generalized remote vs onsite debate, without the specifics of the article being weighed in. Even worse, HN also has a tendency to devolve into calling authors of posts deranged (or deranged, but with nicer choice of words) more for their identity and politics rather than the words they wrote, as was the case with Alyssa Rosenzweig's article being posted a few weeks ago.

It simply isn't viable to assume good faith for everyone. I often (unwiesely) get into fights with transphobes that I shouldn't, and I had maybe 2 insightful well-reflected discussions over the past 10 years. Sometimes they'll complement me on not fitting their expectation of an "SJW" (which is, presumably, a screaming child), but then go on to call me a slur anyway. And when I say slur, I am very positive that this is the right classification. Unambiguously.

I recommend the entire Alt-Right playbook series, in fact. A lot of these concepts are not limited to the alt-right and are often used incidentally by everyone, but it is important to know when you have no chance at rhetoric overcoming... anything. I guess sometimes the sword is mightier than the pen, especially in a post-fact world.
That's a cool idea. Would also be interesting to consider the size of the commit - a single 100-line change is probably more likely to introduce a bug than 10 10-line changes.

I'm kind of surprised that rooting the device allows the user of the device to become aware. It seems like the sort of thing that the baseband layer would handle without passing anything at all to the main OS. At least for the messages designed for stealth. Obviously the messages meant to influence the UI (like voicemail status) need to make their way to the OS.

> Once I became an old fart...

This has been a process for me. I still occasionally succumb to the silliness, but for the most part when I see a line, my reaction is, "meh, I'm hungry/thirsty now; let's go somewhere else". One thing that's telling is that some of the places I already know I really enjoy rarely have lines or are completely busy.

And absolutely agree that you often find hidden gems that way. A lack of a line will often just mean the business is too inexperienced or honest to use some of the psychological manipulation practices the GP talks about.

It works pretty good. You define a few “function” and enter a description on what it does, when user prompts, it will understand the prompt and tell you which likely “function” to use, which is just the function name.

> 40,000 wet markets in China as of 2019

And yet it happened to spillover in a wet market in a city with the premier coronavirus research labs in the country. It also happened to happen far away from where these types of viruses originate. There are only a handful of labs in the county that do this type of research and WIV is the top one.

So why did not not appear in a wet market in Yunnan or Guangdong?
Before you were saying they are two different things, now you're saying they are the same when you have multiple cores and not the same when you have a single core.

I realize you say "I'm not suggesting we re-criminalise homelessness"... however in many people's eyes, there's a "but" there that if not suggesting it certainly implies "but we should certainly consider it". To which I say:

We have the fifth highest prison population per capita (behind El Salvador, Rwanda, Turkmenistan and Cuba), and you want to consider adding potentially another 600,000 (40% more) people to that population?

That would put us at the highest prison population in the world, and it would be not even close. That would be twenty per cent higher than some of the world's most despotic, dysfunctional countries.

And the same people who are not willing to fund socioeconomic initiatives, not willing to fund access to mental healthcare, are also not willing to fund improvements to American prisons which, while not the worst in the world, are certainly not even close to the pack when it comes to humane conditions, improving situation and circumstance, and reducing recidivism.

How would such a person get to leave prison if they were there because they were homeless? They leave prison and they're still homeless (see: already vastly overwhelmed transitional support structures, and a huge influx of additional demand and suffocatingly small desire to improve that situation).
that's a false equivalence and you know it
On one hand I understand not wanting to contribute to a commercial content aggregator that you feel doesn't return enough value to its users, but it sounds like you still use it, i.e. the more restrictive API pricing does not discount its value enough for you to discontinue your use of the site.

As far as refusing to contribute, I don't see the practical difference between that and refusing to help someone in trouble out in the street. You get even less for your trouble in the latter case, but I'm sure you wouldn't demand some value back for answering a question in real life even to a stranger you'll never meet again. Sure, a middleman is profiting off of your answer here, but getting hung up on the share of value is how so much of the web shifted from free collaborative passion projects to for-profit Patreon paywalls and the like.
I agree that we need to be mindful about our approach. Homeless people can't be given unlimited luxuries because we can't afford it as a society.

That being said, your comment comes across as reductive to the homeless population as being nothing more than a snide, tongue-in-cheek joke.

This "Normal people" messaging is what allows us to abstract homeless people into this "other" group, which is dangerous and inhumane. Like it or not, these people with all of their problems are a part of us all.
Thanks.

What worries me is that it is becoming more and more difficult to find the long tail on Youtube (I don't use Soundcloud so can't comment there).

Youtube's search has become useless (to the point where it has become a meme that people are now using non-Youtube search engines to search for content on Youtube), and its recommendation algorithm is designed to promote what is popular (the short-tail).

It's still possible to create a new channel on Youtube that offers something different, of course. It's just harder to get visibility on that content because the same "chase the short-tail, ignore the long-tail" strategy is starting to find its way into how modern search engines behave as well.

I used to disagree with the claim that if you didn't rank in the top 5 search results you didn't rank at all. My disagreement was based on the fact that I earned a living from a website that received most of its traffic from organic search results. These days though, I think that's becoming more and more true based on how search engines present results to the user.
interesting! I was looking for stuff like this awhile back when I started my project and couldn't find anything—I probably was using the wrong search terms.

my goal is to create a simple web framework that produces a single compiled executable, but I don't want to care too much about the HTTP(S) server portion, if possible. I have a functioning prototype, but the wrote-it-myself-and-it-shows HTTP server part sucks, so, hopefully I can find something to replace it with, instead of diving deep and writing something like this on my own.
You could, but with EU and other legislations you'd have to make it clear it's an ad, so in API-speak, there'd be a "is_sponsored=true".

That makes it too easy for API consumers to ignore. (Compared to human eyeballs browsing a webpage)

But you could make it part of the ToS: if you're using the API to present posts to users, you MUST show all the posts in the list, including the is_sponsored=true ones.
Have some compassion maybe?

I'm on the fence about Lemmy/Kbin, but I think it has a better shot than Mastodon.

Twitter's thing was "giant conversation with everyone" - federation interferes with that.

Reddit was inherently fragmented (subreddits, and heavy redditors tended to describe groupings of related subreddits). Federation seems pretty natural here (community names can just have an @ symbol somewhere in there).

There are UI and discoverability issues, but those seem rather tractable.

I think performance at scale will be a real issue though.

> Why segregate a service that's already meant for everyone?

Because one group denies it to others. In New York, the potent image is that of a homeless person obviously going through a mental health issue, who hasn’t bathed in what smells like weeks, sitting in a subway car on their own. (When I was younger and naïve, I went into one such car and tried to talk to them. I had a handful of what I’ll pretend was a smelly sauce tossed my way.)

> and now we're all pretending that the current set of moderators are the heroes of the Reddit story.

It's like the British Empire, Soviet Union, and United States in World War II - it's not that they don't have a long and storied history of crimes against humanity (or the internet as the case may be) themselves; it's that their opponents are so despicable we're happy to see anyone picking a fight with them. If the moderators (respectively allies) want to call themselves the heroes of that story... well, in strictly relative terms they are.

It boggles my mind to see a comment like this, it is fundamentally based on the assumption that homeless people are subhuman and not deserving of amenities. Further it's looking at the purpose and situation in life as a qualification of usage. A homeless person walking into a library to use it, is now a library patron, would they still be excluded due to them being homeless? If I am upset one day and decide to take a long meaningless ride on a subway circuit, am I more or less allowed to do it compared to a homeless person? Of course these examples can be nitpicked and yet will miss the point. These simply become soundbites that justify cruelty.
There's something I don't understand about this crash in particular:

It sounds like Marcos' death is blamed on the actions of the truck driver, as well as the lack of an under-ride bumper.

But don't we normally consider drivers responsible for crashing into objects towards which they're travelling?

It doesn't sound like a situation where the truck jumped into traffic suddenly from a hidden driveway:

> The truck edged out of a driveway and began, slowly, to turn left onto the road, blocking traffic in both directions.

I.e., wouldn't death have also been avoided if Marcos had been traveling at a speed that allowed him to stop in time? I'd think that addressing that (if I'm right) would save a lot more than ~100 lives/year.
> ..."developed COVID-19-like illnesses in November 2019".

My partner and her siblings developed a COVID-19-like illness in November 2019. It was far worse than any flu they'd ever had and even put one of them, an otherwise healthy 30 year old, in the hospital for several weeks.

I wouldn't be surprised if COVID-19 was spreading as early as October.

What do you mean? An API doesn’t automatically grant full access to your private data. It just provides an alternative way to access the data you have already chosen to make public.
You can certainly take that perspective. It's unclear, however, how you'll find the funds to turn a city into a giant homeless shelter when no one else wants to live there because you don't offer access to safe and clean parks, sidewalks, and roads.

"If you need 3 trailers, time to go back to freight trains."

Trains can only run on train tracks.

The tracks/train stations don't always go close to where the freight needs to go.

It is bordering on impossible to build new rail infrastructure to get freight where it needs to go.

It takes a lot longer to ship something on a train than on a truck.

Add on the fact that transport in general is getting more expensive, and I don't think more regulations on trucking is the right answer.

Just install the guards on the side of trailers and be done with it...

Don't think you're missing anything, libraries exist to help connect communities. They are a public service. You pay for it.
I remember reading a claim that logistics companies will often tell their drivers to break traffic laws (ostensibly "only when it's not dangerous") and they consider any citations to be a cost of doing business.

While I can't really verify that's true, it tracks with behavior I see of truck drivers in tight quarters; it's been trending towards this "I'm turning and I barely care if you're able to stop in time" kind of behavior.
No, but the behavior expressed by adopting such an attitude is. Yours is a nitpick that is probably worth mentioning but doesn't really change the analysis.
Other comments suggest that these have nothing to do with settings you find in the app. If so, then my best guess is that a setting in your app by the name "delivery report" is actually just mislabeling some other thing such as "read receipts"...
Most modern passenger car passenger cells don't need roll cages because their passenger safety cells are properly engineered, and because crash safety is much more comprehensive, with wheels and suspension components designed to intentionally fail and crumple in a crash so they aren't pushed into the passenger cell.

A ton of cars pass Euro-NCAP and IIHS crash and rollover tests with flying colors.

Roll cages were a Thing because, well, this:

Obviously not every car is up to snuff, especially at the bottom end of the market. You couldn't pay me to drive a current production GM, Ford, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, etc compact sedan.

5-point harnesses aren't really that necessary at 0-60mph speeds in a vehicle with modern airbags; the fifth strap is mostly for anti-submarining but a number of manufacturers have produced seats that are anti-submarining and anti-submarining dashboard design (both material and shape) is a thing as well.

All of it's possible, it's just a lot of car companies are cheap and consumers don't really shop based on stuff like "is there an anti-submarining design to the dash."

How does that compare to say, Boise, where the city was recently sued because they enacted criminal ordinances that said it was an offense to sleep on the street if a shelter bed was available?

Sounds reasonable. Then you hear the nuance. A shelter bed was always "available" because one religious shelter would say that one was always "available" even if it didn't in fact exist, and in order to stay there, even if it was, you were required to participate in compulsory religious events multiple times per day.

The gist of the argument was that, among other concerns, Boise was effectively giving the homeless a choice between jail or forced religious indoctrination.
I'm guessing the ToS violation was that the review wasn't about an actual visit to the business, but was just a report of a Cragslist ad the user saw about buying reviews.

I agree that this sort of information is useful for potential patrons to have, but can understand that Yelp wants their reviews to be about actual visits.
Yeah especially TVs right? Every single one of them it's been the caps. People mount them right up to the wall, the heat can't get out, and the caps dry out. Then they stop turning on, or start flickering, or randomly failing during high brightness scenes. Always the same story.

It's always fun when I replace the failed one and most of the ones at risk as a precaution, and then I tell them what the (120 C rated, usually much higher than the originals) parts cost... :') It's a pain finding the right ones in stock though sometimes.

I always feel so bad when I see a 70" TV beside the trash bin, usually with something heavy on top so the panel is already cracked :( Most people just call the manufacturer, they tell them it's out of warranty and "can't be repaired" and chuck it :'(

How about shoring up the social safety net like other developed countries? The length at which Americans go to ignore the homeless (until they are in close physical proximity) is astounding. And most "solutions" are to keep the homeless out of sight without doing anything about their circumstances.
Turing completeness requires the presence of at least three operations: addition, negation, branching.

A usual Neural Network (NN) implements only two operations though: addition and negation. The branching operation can be achieved by:

1) recursion as in Recursive Neural Network (RNN), -or/and-
2) some kind of a conditional intermediary loop that occurs between NN runs.
Rather than participating in this nonsense, I'll just remain a Reader.
