> I don't really understand how anyone thinks a forum is a viable alternative to Discord.

That wasn’t what OP asked though. They asked why Reddit communities are replacing a forum like website with a real time chat where there’s no easy way to search through history.
I've been quite successful in work so far and I've hit most of the traditional milestones like owning a car, buying a house, and what not, but love? Haha, I am so comically behind my peers that it has stopped hurting and almost become funny at this point.

I've stopped believing it'll happen, hope just leads to suffering. I'm far too broken and messed up as a person.
> They don't [get evidence of efficacy], though. They need a control group.

This is false. Control groups, preferably in double-blind studies, are an essential part of best practices. However, the bar for what constitutes evidence is much lower than that.

Evidence is any fact that makes a relevant conclusion more or less likely. Evidence need not be conclusive in and of itself. Over time, the cumulative effects of less-strong evidence can form the basis for a reasonable inductive conclusion. Sorry to be trite, but as an example, a person can have evidence that their romantic partner loves them without the use of an identical twin.

Insisting on gold standard medical evidence before allowing someone to undergo life-saving treatment—when the preponderance of the evidence that does exist supports that treatment—is, to be blunt, the very definition of depraved heart murder. It demonstrates a wanton disregard toward human life in the face of the known likelihood that it will result in some number of deaths.

More broadly, however, it is an extremely poor policy, in that this meme both weakens society's critical thinking generally and—among those who see through the elitist charade—significantly weakens the respect of those scientists who make the claim.
> I prefer the Apple experience

So don't download apps from elsewhere? If an app decides to move away from the App Store there will be competitors jumping in to replace it within days.
So it's waste. Like if you want to sell sandwiches and you find out later you have to cut the crusts off for them to sell better. The crusts are now "goodwill".
Those two data points are extremely anecdotal and have survivorship bias. According to data I can find online, in 2021 while 549 breweries opened, 319 closed. As the number of breweries has gone up each year, a significant amount of closures also occurred. Your neighbor could have easily been one of those.

More than 50% of small businesses fail in the first year of business according to well published and cited industry data. These are all people who tried to "invent their own futures" and it did not work out. That also doesn't mean that the remaining percentage were successful. Many of them have their owners working much more than corporate full time for less money then they'd be working on a cushy 9-5 job.

For an opposite anecdote to yours, a family opened up an ice cream shop around the corner. They had good business and made ok money, but closed after 2 years. Why? Not only was the end of the day profit not great, they were heavily sacrificing time with their own family in order to run the day to day operations. They could have hired more people to handle those day to day hurdles, but that would have meant almost no take home pay.

We should encourage people to "invent their own futures" but we also have to be realistic, because we don't have good safety nets for what happens when inventing your future fails, which means you have to make your own safety net. It's also not always trivial to re-enter corporate gigs after you've been doing something else for years, especially if closing of your small business has burned you out.

It takes much more than just a good idea to make a small business succeed.
> Some consoles are sold at a loss to be made up by software, so sideloading if it allows warez in would totally break the model.

This hasn't been true for Xbox One / PS4 / Switch and all following generations. Meaning - it hasn't been true for a decade.

Please stop defending corporations with these out-of-date arguments :/
I'd also love to see psychedelic-assisted therapy approved for therapeutic use in dying patients. The outcome studies for exactly this scenario have been really good from my understanding.
> consumers who do not want freedom, or an army of paid people who scan forums to defend Apple‘s practices.

And that's an exhaustive list? Like, in your mind, do there not exist other kinds of people who'd want their iPhone to stay exactly like it is?
Nothing like what you were probably told

Hmm -- this really is quite a presumptuous (and basically highly obnoxious) attitude to take. But if you want to go on believing that people who don't echo the same set of coded beliefs as yourself -- do so because they are unread, have no direct knowledge of these countries, are brainwashed by the media or the education system or whatever -- that's up to you.

A place that would never have gotten rid of Nazism had it not been for the Soviet Union.

"Never" is rather doubtful, and bordering on science fiction (given what we know about unstable the Reich was in reality). The "hero" view of the Soviets' allegedly overwhelming contribution to overall war effort is also not something that follows from any balanced view of the historical record.

But what we do know from the historical record -- is that most of these places likely never would have been invaded in the first place, had Stalin not greenlighted Hitler's plans via a certain famous agreement in 1939.
Are you in therapy? How are your other relationships?
> Or maybe just be a victim forever but I don’t think that’s a good outcome.

Alternatively, recognize that you have two anecdotes of people succeeding. It doesn't mean there aren't systemic issues, and people can both strive to succeed in the current system and push for its change.

It's dull reading tl;dr: bootstrap yourself like my friends.
The text seems to imply the embedded video of Drake singing River Man is the self recorded demo version from 1968, but it is from a Tim Pope 2004 video containing a "remastered" version (with added sound effects and goodness knows what else) of the Island Records album version on Five Leaves Left

If you look at the Twitch viewership on the chart you can see that it led player count significantly even before the massive blow up. There's a 26k viewer spike in 2019 then consistently 2k+ viewers in 2020 before it went vertical.

Without content creators spotlighting it I highly doubt the game would have gone anywhere. The developers even say "we're really bad at marketing": https://www.kotaku.com.au/2020/09/among-us-improbable-rise-t....

The whole article is a goldmine: “We stuck with Among Us a lot longer than we probably should have from a pure business standpoint,” said Willard. “We tried to quit and should have quit several times.”.

It's clear they got lucky here. This kind of organic growth doesn't happen often, even with very good games.

> If you think and can demonstrate that the market is nowhere near efficient, then you could be making a killing off of it

The market being inefficient doesn't necessarily mean it's easy to exploit. A publisher is far better positioned than I am to "[make] a killing off of it".
You don't even need the Everests and the K2s. I won't characterize things I've done in the 6000m range or even just peaks with tricky rock sections as dangerous per se (or I probably wouldn't have done them) but people do develop serious altitude-related conditions, avalanches happen, and people just mis-step.
The question was about replacing a Reddit subforum with a chat, not a discord chat with a forum. Reddit is a slow async platform, forums are too, I don’t see what part of the things you mention makes Discord a no brainer.
50% of small businesses fail within the first five years, so lovely anecdotes and all, but textbook survivorship bias.
So it's possible this sub is stuck turning in right only circles deep underwater because the left button has broken...
Why in the world would The Man conspire to make you not want those things?

The more possessions and money you desire, the harder you work to buy more things in the economy, pushing up GDP, and driving up the value of stocks, real estate, etc. that rich people own.

Wouldn't it be the opposite?
Cryptographic proof of personhood is going to be a thing, is it not? Outside of BigTech, Signal is as poised as WorldCoin to be just that.
I have a couple of KX-99 AM two-way radios. On of them (Bendix) receives well, but the other one (Bendix-King) has a strange tone and doesn't seem to pick up any signal. The tone is dependant on the frequency it's monitoring. Maybe this is a by-product of a superheterodyne circuit only present in the newer models? I wonder if any radio-savvy reader will be able to point me in the right direction here :)
What does DER stand for? Google thinks I'm going hunting....
No, I've tried it and didn't find it helpful. My relationships are good with my family and I have a small handful of friends I get along with well.

This is unfortunately more complex than simple, easily fixed social issues and the like.
I don't see why they shouldn't. Consoles are just computers with funny keyboards, why do Microsoft and Sony get to decide who does and doesn't get to make games or applications for them?

Quite, and the reality of the Russian invasion of Ukraine certainly trumps armchair rhetoric on this topic. I would only add that (until recently) many Europeans would have questioned whether their aggression exists in a vacuum (“are we provoking them?”). But that sort of navel gazing vanishes when artillery is fired in your direction.

There was a deep-seated aversion to rearmament owing to the memory of the Second World War, which is fading away, cajoled by events in Ukraine.
I think a lot of people opposing side loading, at least here on HN, are involved in app development, etc. They don't want side loading because they've had to buy into the Apple ecosystem and now they're stuck with it. Sideloading means competitors won't have to go through the same crap that they did. Sort of like the debate around student debt, health care, etc.

>in the sense that you can't run what you choose on it

Do you not own a washing machine if you can't use it to render 3D videos on the computer inside? A washing machine being a washing machine is just what the device is. If you own an iphone the expectation is that you can run iphone apps. Apple never advertised that you can run anything on it.
I get that that's what you're saying, I guess I just don't understand how it reads as more complicated. Different strokes, though.
"Distributed Energy Resource"
Oh sure. I'm not arguing this is a good idea or not a way to show off your money, just that it's kinda a weird assertion that visiting a place where people died and weren't properly buried at some point in the past is uniquely distasteful.

It's not as if they're going to look at the dead bodies, and as someone else points out, there's almost no chance there's intact remains left at that depth after all this time. There's plenty of less-deep shipwrecks all over the Caribbean or other coastal areas where people probably died that are normal enough to scuba dive into and I'm not sure people think that that's distasteful.

The "you spent how much on this" part is something I'm absolutely fine with people taking issue with, but it doesn't seem that much more gauche than flying to space or just flying your private jet around.
Consoles have games but they also do chat, browsers, video players, streaming services, you name it.

We're not in the Nintendo 64 days anymore, there's nothing special about these devices.
The weight of the tether doesn't matter when it is in water. You just design it to be neutrally buoyant. Either using mini pressure vessels or tanks of light oil.
No, I value my time and my brain. It takes me X wasted minutes to talk to a support person to remove my subscription. That’s not really a good use of my brain, is it now?

If you want the freedom - there are platforms out there. Use those. There is no reason to impose your views on the rest of us. I prefer this level of security vs freedom. When I need the freedom I pickup my Android phone.

The important point here is I have a choice.

Ppl get scammed by phone calls & text messages… it’s an entire industry designed and operating to bypass this brain of yours. And now we are introducing another vector to make it easier. That is my problem with side-loading. The fact that it increases the attack surface for everyone even though not everyone wants it.
Good lord, at least use an Xbox controller. They are supported pretty much everywhere and are very durable. The US Navy uses them because they are durable and because new recruits are already intimately familiar with them.
Calm down guys! Threading is tricky but they can rewrite it all in Rust so it'll be completely ok........

I’m going to speak in terms of the iPhone because that is the device to which your comment refers, but the following could easily apply to any smart phone:

A person’s iPhone is extremely personal. They spend hours using it. It is practically an extension of their body. Many people sleep next to them. Many people develop a form of arthritis in their thumbs, downward curving necks, eye strain using them. Most people are never more than a few feet from their iPhone, and that’s usually because the device has to be sometimes connected to a wall in order to continue functioning.

Is it any wonder, then, that some people have trepidations about forced changes to how that device functions? Is it a mystery the some people are concerned about how that will impact the development of the device going forward?

Whether you agree with their concerns or not — as I take it you don’t — I think it’s perfectly reasonable that a large contingent of users are skeptical of an outside governing body forcing the maker of a device they depend on to make substantial changes to its operating model.

You call it more user freedom, but more freedom to do what, exactly? What’s your pitch for those who are hesitant?
Hehe, well, to add some nuance: P4 is incredibly nasty stuff, and you definitely don't want a domestic terrorist or whatever buffoon with a lust for chemical destruction to get a hold of this stuff, so the whole batch of P4 sitting at that shut down factory was due to disappear into the proper channels of destruction. But it's a small world, so a guy knew a guy, and we were good to pick up a material quantity that wasn't too felonious, but sizable enough to keep the somewhat underfunded research going.

I got out of chemistry for being too clumsy, a hazard for myself and others. I left without shoes one day, having dropped a big flask with incredibly smelly and volatile amines on my feet. They smell like essence of fish, so, the shoes were a total loss. I kept a spare pair in the lab ever since.

Another one, that doesn't really go anywhere: Working with tertiary butyl lithium was always super fun. It's this crowded group of negatively charged carbon that is forced, against its will, to bond to a positive lithium ion. The thing is pretty eager to react, but funnily enough it's always dissolved in flammable solvents. If you spritz a little bit out of your syringe, it immediately goes woosh.

Thanks!

Totally. For us, the challenge lied in getting used to the async aspect of it, and architecting in such a way that queries that need to eliminate dupes remain performant...

Our initial approach was using ReplacingMergeTree but we couldn't get aggregation queries to run quickly enough... Any solution for that?
What's missing in the standard library though? I hear this complain often, but when I use a library it's always for a specific use case and not something that I would expect to be in a standard library.
This is actually wild to me because I think it is based on a big assumption.

I'm not actually sure most customers actually "chose" the iPhone. For many, it's a social construct. Apple creates iMessage, if you want to be able to talk to your friends and be in the group chat or get Facetime calls, you need an iPhone. The Social fallout is large. I wouldn't fully disagree with you if..we were talking about buying a random brand Android phone because you could just buy a different one..but Apple's unwillingness to openness really removes elements of choice.

Then there's this other angle that I think it is weird that you think it needs to be black or white. The default App store will still be the default. You can just use it out of the box as you do. Any solution that allows third party stores would be a setting that would need activation and would probably say, repeatedly "Don't do this if someone told you to".

Then finally, the angle that developers want things for free is wiiiild. Apple actively locks features out of PWAs on purpose, the native feature support is awful. Apple stating that any digital transaction on a phone means they get 30% is a wild world. Imagine a world where Ford cars demand 30% of all tolls or 30% of all drive-thru transactions as it is 'in-car' purchases. Computers never worked like this and it harms users. If apple wants a cut, they should have to defend it with a better product rather than locking people out.
Wow. You really are not kidding. What a mess. I actually feel stressed looking at their home page. It's overwhelming. THEN they've decided to top the chaos off with animated Figma-cursors that have no apparent relationship to the hero content.

It doesn't get any better as you scroll either. Everything is animated and changes while you're trying to read it.

I tried to give them feedback through there "Contact Us" form and it's broken.

Sketch. If you read this thread, please take this feedback seriously. It's shocking how unusable your marketing website is.
Nobody forces you to spend 200k on a student loan, and people which nonestly and dutyfully paid back theirs -or never applied for one!- shouldn't pay off yours. I am pretty sure even in the US there are many well-earning people that didn't went to college.
It is just that it is seen as a must b/c marketing something works with most people.

>Next step is limiting stuff like remote attestation so users can't be punished for exercising their freedoms.

It wouldn't be needed if those people "exercising their freedoms" were not using it to abuse platforms. When you simply want to add a leaderboard in your game remote attestation makes it easy to filter out all cheated attempts from people sideloading a hacked version of your game. Remote attestation does not limit your freedom to modify things. It just allows platforms to be able to tell if you are using a vanilla version of the app.

I would agree that the worldview of Europe is changing, given the sharp reality of its defences being tested.

Europe is of course (to state the extremely obvious) no stranger to its own imperial adventures. We might do well to stop that if we don’t want to trigger refugee flows and other outcomes we don’t want.
There is an update on TFA.

The EU's Digital Markets Act could, in theory, allow for consoles to be unlocked and used freely. There's nothing in the Act that specifically leaves them out (or puts smartphones in, for that matter). It's device-agnostic, the only thing that matters are the usage numbers.
It's awesome where performance considerations are paramount. It's awesome in databases. It's awesome in embedded software. It's awesome in operating system kernels.

The fact is sometimes it's good. Saying it's universally bad is going beyond the realm of logic and evidence and into the realm of ideology.
Would relate to this. Even with normal wear and tear, reassembly isn't a problem.

Perhaps the difference stems from how rushed/impatient one was during initial assembly. I do know a couple pieces where that happened and it resulted in wonky furniture because this knob was jammed in or that bit was misaligned for months. Would make sense considering a lot of people feel excited after purchasing it that they don't take their time with assembly.

This is mostly for the older pieces, I know a lot of them now you have to really mess up for it to affect future reassembly.
Their parents and/or kids come up with money. It is basically theft. If you are ok with theft, fine, otherwise we shouldn’t exempt it just because of the false hope it provides.

There's no standard definition of when something becomes a dialect or even its own language, so arguing about that is kind of moot.

That said, I'm not terribly impressed that there seem to be some Spanish calques in certain Englishes. That seems rather expected and similar things happen all over the world (with different language pairs). I mean, this can still be fun to investigate, but the article makes it sound as if it's something totally out of the ordinary happening.

If we had evidence of actual grammatical shifts, that would be more interesting, but that doesn't appear to be the case here.
