HN works partly because it is a single forum about technical topics. It excludes subjects that produce contentious discussion.

Reddit is a general forum. There are subreddits that are moderated heavily and need to be, and those that are barely moderated. There are subreddits for porn and politics because people want those. Reddit replacement needs to support multiple communities and varying moderation.
How do you balance this concern with the level of crime? Wouldn't be more excusable for a Johannesburg PD to be better equipped than Brighton?

With that in mind, it doesn't seem right to paint the US with one brush when Chicago's murder rate is more than 5x higher than New York City's. For the case of small PDs having big budgets I agree it's wasted money, and maybe even damaging to the town.

But in urban areas like Detroit, Baltimore, and Chicago, it seems tone-deaf to focus on police violence when so many people are victimised by people the police could have locked up if they were better equipped. (Ignoring of course the weakness of courts to imprison violent offenders, which is also a huge issue in London.)
I've edited my comment.
I do believe what i wrote, tho. It was not meant as a personal attack.
Our understanding of the relationship between sun and earth has barely begun to sprout.

Popular discourse tends to be dominated by Newtonian ideas, as if earth was simply a rock in empty space orbiting a massive fireball called the sun. We landed on the surface of the moon by using such approximations. But they fail to explain many observations that modern technology has opened our eyes to.

For example, the coronal heating problem [1]. Possibly one of the greatest unanswered questions in astrophysics. Why does the temperature of the sun’s atmosphere increase as you get further away from the surface? We still don’t know exactly. But we have some hints.

Voyager 1 revealed to us that the dynamics of the heliosphere are much more complex than we imagined [2].

And we have observed that the sun emits a powerful electromagnetic field, which is intimately connected to a variety of spectacular phenomena here on earth. Like the northern lights, aka auroras [3]. Or massive electrical discharges in thunderstorms which reach into the highest layers of Earth’s atmosphere [4].

So I implore you to consider, why wouldn’t earthquakes be explained by solar dynamics? If not completely, at least partially.

It seems we may be on the cusp of realizing that our solar system - and perhaps our entire galaxy - is connected through electromagnetism. Entirely new fields like “space weather” and “plasma cosmology” are rising up from the depths of ideation and research. What a time to be alive.

I'll add to abeppu's arguments.

> If law enforcement doesn't have armed drones, we live in a world where only the criminals have armed drones.

If criminals have guns, police should have body armor and maybe also guns. If criminals have automatic guns, police should not have automatic guns because 99% of their job has no connection to those encounters and they are a huge force that interacts with the public constantly, so treating it at an occupying force is a terrible idea. Armed drones don’t fight each other. Having armed drones doesn’t protect police, or anyone, from armed drones that criminals may or may not have.

> Sometimes law enforcement must be able to use deadly force. Isn't it better if in those situations, officers aren't also putting their lives at risk?

Taking the life of a fellow citizen is a huge amount of power given by the government. If the government can take citizen’s lives with no risk and no locality, there can be no accountability. Real people going out and enforcing the law is a check, as imperfect as it is, on what laws and how far the government can go. If a warehouse of drone operators outside of DC can open fire on protestors in Albuquerque, there is no accountability.

> Currently, when law enforcement uses deadly force, one of the strongest defenses is that in the moment, an officer felt that their own life was at risk. A drone operator has no such fear and therefore no bias towards using weapons prematurely.

DOJ investigations show again and again that shootings are the result of systemic issues within the police force. Just as one example, the Clevand PD was investigated after the Tamir Rice murder and found a pattern of excessive force, substandard training, and unconstitutional practices. From the report. "The employment of poor and dangerous tactics that place officers in situations where avoidable force becomes inevitable and places officers and civilians at unnecessary risk…We found that CDP officers too often use unnecessary and unreasonable force in violation of the Constitution. Supervisors tolerate this behavior and, in some cases, endorse it. Officers report that they receive little supervision, guidance, and support from the Division, essentially leaving them to determine for themselves how to perform their difficult and dangerous jobs." The DOJ specifically states that Cleveland PD use excessive force, including deadly force, at a "significant rate" and that excessive and deadly force was a pattern, and not isolated incidences. [1]

Making it that much easier for police to use “unnecessary and unreasonable force in violation of the Constitution” is not going to make things safer for anyone.

I remember having Samsung Note 4. It had user replaceable battery and I had it cased. No problemo.
> Some people suspect the use of LLMs on trying to push for consensus and astroturf.

I don't even suspect it at this point, I just don't know if it's Reddit or someone else, but what motivation does someone else have to make new accounts that post GPT content unfiltered (and have since been deleted), that also just happen to push against the blackout.

That's irrelevant to what the OP said. You're describing the fundamental difference of the user experience for members.

OP is talking about owners/moderators. Reddit could completely change the subreddit UI experience + posting experience to behave like oldschool forums. The ability for anyone to make a subreddit and be its moderator is the topic at hand here.

Operating an entire forum, using existing forum tech today, is way way way different.
Yes and no. On a computer, you can open the developer console in the web browser and be there immediately. Go to a Github project and hit . and go to codespaces and be right there. Once you're there though, what to do becomes much harder.
From my understanding, sealant used to make phones waterproof is basically glue, which precludes "easy" replacement of batteries.
There’s a lot to pick apart here. How much money do you think Apple spent on their VR product vs Meta? Sure Apple’s is better, but it also costs SEVEN times more. Do you really think Apple’s will sell more units any time soon? Meta has already sold tens of millions of quests.

Also Carmack is a great programmer, but there’s no reason to think he knows a thing about the market and business strategy.

Sure there’s the whole metaverse thing, but even without that, people are getting value out of the Quest right now, playing Beat Saber etc.
I'm curious what you would change the title to so that you perceive it to be less provocative? In my (disclosure: not engaged in the community much at all) opinion the provocation here is simply because the topic touches on a controversial issue.

I'm not a Yank, but I know Old English is too different, so haven't bothered to listen/

Middle English is a lot easier, but still awkward in some places. We had to read The Canterbury Tales at school, and I remember getting the gist without having to make to much use of the references for obsolete words.

As to David Campbell's piece, I only missed a few words of the Doric section followed the tale of the pious / holly fellow who went out in the fishing boat, and only really missed the (possibly implied) stealing of the bucket (rather than the literal loss of the fellow overboard while baling).

I'm not a Scot, and in many respects Doric is a difficult dialect of Scots to follow. Now if that had been a conversation in a pub, or on the street (rather than the presented story), I imagine I'd have had more trouble.
Just something I've noticed here on this site: the sentiment is highly "pro-employer" (kinda like the wsj). It makes sense really, considering who finances the infra for this website. Not surprised this article was flagged

The post connects two things I didn't consider before: collective action and internal tooling

Something that I've seen: management mandates that everyone use shitty tooling. Using collective action to challenge this and put a fire under management's ass to make internal tooling not shit isn't a bad idea imo

Really, I'm just happy I see an article here that speaks positively about organized labor and the adversarial relationship between employer and employee. The only flaw with this article is that it spends too much time talking about HR and not enough about litigation
That depends on the grouping of clauses.

Grouped as (prohibited from using any information gathered by a drone) (with any facial recognition software), you might be right.

Grouped as (prohibited from using any information gathered by a (drone with any facial recognition software)), I don't think you're right. Personally, I would naturally group the clauses in this way and conclude that off-drone facial recognition was not effectively barred by this statute but onboard facial recognition was.
V interesting piece, thanks for that!
You can tell by Mark's wording and body language when he talks about it in the recent Lex Fridman episode. I got the impression from him that he would have released it in a manner closer to that of open source if there wasn't a question of legal liability.
Miraheze to shut down
Yup. I personally find those to be a waste of PCI-e lanes in the smaller form factors, but my purposes are based around I/O more than thread count. To that end, I’m on a Milan frequency-optimized SKU in my current workstation, and an ATX board with access to all of the lanes the CPU offers.

That said, with PCI-e 5.0, a little board like this has a LOT of bandwidth.
Aren't those methods potentially expensive? And if you did make a hastily-built frontend backed by scraping, couldn't Reddit continually break it without much effort?
> A portable battery should be considered to be removable by the end-user when it can be removed with the use of commercially available tools and without requiring the use of specialised tools, unless they are provided free of charge, or proprietary tools, thermal energy or solvents to disassemble it.

Doesn't it still require heat to undo the glue?
Can you name some? I know of Scratch.. and that's mostly it.
I'm not arguing that a flaw wouldn't be considered a vulnerability - it is. My argument is that cyber security has limitations when an attacker has physical access to the device.

Once you can start plugging random devices into random ports, there's bound to be a vulnerability somewhere. And how much is it really worth it to manufactures and customers to pen-test requests sent from a fuel pump?

Cyber security doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be more difficult than the the brute force solution - in this case, throwing the car on a flatbed tow truck.
I think any technology must be judged based on what it turns out to be long term. Computers and vehicles, for all their issues, have brought untold advancement and comfort to society. Social media.. well you tell me.
I don't think you properly understood my comment. I am specifically saying: even if replacing the battery makes the phone no longer waterproof, you can just not replace the battery. Nobody comes into your house at night and forces you to install a new battery because your old one isn't good anymore.
Seems like a parody to me
Interesting. Tell me about "federated WordPress"? I haven't heard of it before as a concept...
I don't think you quite understand what the word coherent means. Just because somebody has a different perspective on what reality is, doesn't mean they're being incoherent. In this thread and related discussions on HN there have been many posts by people explaining that they don't believe blackouts have the user consensus in many subreddits which have been locked. It is claimed that many of those subreddits never had polls at all. There are some who allege those polls were botted and received several times more votes than there are active users of that subreddit. In other subreddits, the votes are a tiny fraction of active users (including lurking readers.) Others (myself included) have pointed out that if user consensus is actually aligned with the blackout then the blackouts are unnecessary because those users can simply choose not to use reddit even if the subreddits are reopened; from this perspective the purpose of the blackouts is to lock out those users who would choose to keep using reddit.

I do not intent to persuade you that these viewpoints are compelling and truthful, because that's beyond the point. I'm not arguing that the above arguments are subjectively correct, only that they are coherent. Whether or not you find these arguments persuasive, they are coherent. Whether or not you think they have the basic facts of the situation correct, they are still coherent. Maybe you think lurking readers shouldn't count; that's a legitimate value which others may legitimately disagree with, and depending on what your values are you come to different conclusions. That doesn't mean people who think lurkers should count are being incoherent. Coherence does not mean subjectively correct.

> Why does the temperature of the sun’s atmosphere increase as you get further away from the surface? We still don’t know exactly.

Kind of reminds me of the inner tip of the blue cone in the Bunsen burner which is supposed to be the hottest point of combustion rather than at the bottom of the flame, and the top of the flame is supposedly the coolest?
Most waterproof norms are only valid for freshwater. Most usb/lightning ports rust after being subjected to salted water and you end up not being able to charge your device anymore.
Ferrari has a list of rules you must follow in order to purchase their cars. If you violate the rules they will try to take back your car and anyway you will be banned for life from purchasing another of their cars.

For example they only allow a certain selection of colours for their cars.

So no, you are not allowed to do whatever you want with your device. That was never something completely true.

If I was working at Apple I would propose this feature: if you see the user changing the OS or modifying it in ways that are not acceptable to Apple then the user will be blacklisted from support and ideally from buying another Apple product. I would probably make some big bucks from bonuses.

Like that time at the Ferrari dealership when some dumb lady wanted a Ferrari in pink and the dealer told her "No" and pointed to the door: "Don't let the door hit you on your way out".

See? The companies are also allowed to tell you "No!". Freedom and all...
100% and that hike in prices and clinch on labor effects regular people the most. It's also one of the biggest drivers of inflation. Infinite growth in profits isn't sustainable and it doesnt lead to innovation, it leads to squeezing people to death slowly from all angles.

Oh. Ignore me then, I'm just misinterpreting everything.
What you wrote, is a good place to start future observations. There is a lot of unexplored dynamics to investigate, in the earth. Roiling hot fluid and gaseous systems in flux, which are magnetic - due to iron (and other minerals), is a fluid dynamics dream subject.
But, how to finance? In today's research systems driven by funding to support specific answers, instead of expanding knowledge just to see what we learn.

Ps. An attempt at modeling the inner Earth's systems and flows might be more useful for earthquake prediction.
It should not be limited to police... All government agencies should be subject to the same restrictions... Sheriff, FBI, USPS, IRS, etc...
I think practical/application issues are out of scope here as this is more like an academic study of a single dimension.

upx being acceptable or not is no different than how none of the best performing examples here would be acceotable in most situations either, not just the upx ones, just for other reasins. No company making a random app that didn't have a critical need for this metric would tolerate you writing it in assembly or even c with muscl etc instead of something everyone else can maintain.
Same sentiment here. Absolutely incredible (and consistent) quality from Paul Hudson.
What is this word vomit.
How come most of these new reddit clones choose a style that aligns more with "new reddit" than "old reddit"? Which I thought we disliked? Please use the full-width of the screen.
On a similar note, I tried learning OOP every year for 10 years, never stuck. Everything always felt like functions at its core, didn't matter the language.

Then one day I had a problem where we got a lot of value out of a class. At this point I was a professional programmer, I had already made plenty of websites and apps.

When I teach people programming, I basically make this simplification so people can get programming cool stuff immediately. Of course I explain there is OOP, but we don't waste time on it. You don't need to understand it to make a text based video game.

EDIT: I started programming when I was 17, I didn't start a programming career until I was 30. I only dabbled as a hobby.
How? How exactly would they figure it out? As someone who works in hardware development full time, often supporting older hardware, I don't see how this is feasible. Most of the IP we work on requires 3 or more parties to be part of the NDA.
My biggest issue with Nix flakes right now is the way it integrates with Git.

It insists on copying the entire repository into the Nix store (which makes all of its content world-readable!). Even if your flake.nix is in a subdirectory of a monorepo, the entire monorepo will be copied into the store every time!
> So, maybe in 20+ years, nobody will fall for these scams anymore.

I do IT security; people send dodgy stuff to me for vetting. But I'm naturally on my haunches for those.

I once got an gift card scam email sent from a friend's account. Scam was newish and arrived while I navigating a parking garage after a concert, car full of family. I initially responded ("w/ family, back to you soon") and was a few miles down the road before I had enough brain free to properly consider it.

These guys spray and prey. Eventually they hit something.
If you want to change the license for FOSS software like the Linux kernel, you need to get approval from _every_ contributor. To me, this means for a sub to shutdown as they have they would need permission from _every_ subscriber.
Ah, that's good to know :) It is just that I was expecting to read about some breaking news; that I missed that Nix deprecated channels or something! It is indeed a nice article explaining Flakes in general. Maybe "Why did Nix introduce Flakes?" might be a slightly better title for people coming with prior expectations like I did?

I don't think anyone would accuse our federal government of being "agile" or able to "quickly enact laws". And I agree that in almost all things getting the right law is more important than getting a law quickly.

However, your insistence that "it doesn't depend on the law" makes me view your whole stance more critically; the answer in complex areas is very rarely "it doesn't depend". There's a bunch of domains where stuff just happens across state lines so frequently that a patchwork would only create confusion. It would be really disruptive if NY made it illegal to drive on gas you bought in NJ b/c NY officials hadn't specifically tested it to confirm that all additives were acceptable; it's easier if we just have federal standards.
If we are talking about making new laws, why not just modify the law to exclude firmware from any IP protection. i.e. compel disclosure of the firmware, and also ensure the device manufacturer is protected from any lawsuits arising out of such disclosure.
This is stupid. Battery lifetimes has come a long way (1000-2000 cycles are the norm) and will improve in the future. Devices are much denser and are waterproof. There are trade offs and customers have chosen to favor designs that do not require easily replaceable batteries. I wouldn't want to pay the price for having one.
