> Death threats are an actual crime. They are not free speech. Nobody's been held accountable for that though.

There are laws about this. If they're difficult to enforce then somebody needs to make a decision about how much anonymity to allow on the internet, and other such difficult subjects. That's kind of the world we live in.

You realize that marginalized people get doxxed and have death threats made against them every single day, often multiple times per day, and nobody seems to hear about it? Because again, they're not famous or notable in any way, they have nobody to call up to write that op-ed or have their signal boosted. It doesn't make the threats to their lives less serious. They can't afford the "private security" that people often say they're getting in order to make their death threats seem more serious.

Are you interested in stopping such death threats in general on the internet? It's doable, but you'd have to make some sacrifices.

Almost like how you have to sacrifice being free from criticism if you really want free speech.
I followed through to the link and I don't think it actually creates a hard requirement for replaceable phone batteries.

There's also a clear exception for rinseable devices, I guess they mean shavers and toothbrushes, but potentially phones could come under it as well.
Could you please not post unsubstantive comments and/or flamebait? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

Nope, "violent mobs" are something that if it exists and rich enough modern democratic societies (and others) that is effect of some cause that needs immediate fixing, even beating them just down is maybe too much - I know I'm a bit too idealistic and romantic (:

But no, please let us not starts with robots/machines fighting our own society but fix it, drones in warfare are already enough of an ethical problem..
Forums and social news media are radically different experiences, I'm not understanding why are we even comparing the two.

A forum is made of long-lasting discussions, spanning months or years. You login and you see whether there's new messages in the discussions you have been part of.

Reddit/Hackernews promotes a very different style of short lived (1/2 days at most discussion).

There's just no way a subreddit out there can replace what I get out of [1]overclockers.co.uk forum for hardware discussions (no, hardware subreddits can't even come close as an experience, you have literally discussions spanning years) or [2]mbworld for Mercedes cars.

Subreddits are toys compared to well maintained forums as source of informations.

> I replaced my iPhone 6 because it was slow, not because battery was bad

iPhone slowness can go hand in hand with batteries going bad, especially in the iPhone 6 days. Apple phones will limit peak performance when it detects the battery voltage can't handle it without too much of a voltage drop. From what I understand its now an opt-out setting, but for most of the iPhone 6's life it wasn't an option.
Seems like it should be possible for the phone (not the battery compartment and battery door, just the rest of the phone) to be waterproof, and for the battery to be waterproof, and the two can contact each other regardless of that contact being in a wet location. After all, we have plenty of electrical wiring methods rated for wet locations, so why not this? Water isn't the very best insulator (especially saltwater and other mineral content, which the contacts would need corrosion resistance for as well) but it should be sufficient at 4VDC.
The web based forum I ran in the late 90s was threaded, then things like UBB came along and the flat structure seemed to win out.
Congratulations with your courageous step. I will really root for it, might even check out if I can contribute. I think Marginalia can have an amazing impact to the web. Right now it is dying from the cancerous growth of SEO spam and informations silos ever increasing in size.

I tried Marginalia and already get amazing and fast results. This will make the web fun, creative and interesting again.

Just like, I think, fellow countryman proving the world wrong that browsers cannot be created from scratch with Ladybird I think you will succeed also. (At least with search engines the competition gets worse every day.)
This is about a poet using technology (the dormio) to experiment with dream seeding: reading a sentence then going to sleep and have the dormio wake you up when you are done with the dreaming phase so that you can take notes on what you dreamt.

Dream seeding does work in the sense that what you do / read before going to bed / during the day can influence you dreams. It is however limited in the sense that you cannot predict what your mind will do at a particular point in time with a particular seed.

I would also note that some creators (such as Nikola Tesla if I remember correctly) played with a low tech version of this: thinking about an idea then sleeping in a chair with a heavy ball in your hand. When you get into deep sleep the ball falls and wakes you up. This keeps you at the edge of deep sleep, in what some consider a very creative state.
I wonder, what are the police doing in this case? These scams appear to target random people in the open so it seems like just setting up honeypot accounts and waiting for scammers to engage with then will yield plenty of information, including a money trail that should lead to whoever is the beneficiary of the scam.

Same thing with phone scams - have carriers route all inactive numbers to a police-run call center where scambaiters not only waste the time of scammers (potentially killing the entire business model of the scams) but also collect information such as the target bank account where the scammed money ends up.

Oh yeah I know, why spend effort investigating actual crime when you have an endless supply of victimless "crime" of people consensually growing/trading/consuming a plant?
Meh, I disagree with point 1. Any platform that is not federated or at the minimum open source will go the same way as Twitter, Reddit, or Myspace. The idea of reddit is bigger than one site, it's a replacement for the internet forums. We don't need another platform lock in.

I applaud the dev work, but this isn't going attract the tech crowd.
doesn't seem analogous at all. are you saying real women are wires and this AI is cloth?

apple support is an exception. and that's still half the cost of a good used iphone xs. if you'd just bought new old stock, you'd be ahead.

i'm currently running a pixel 4, and a battery swap would cost more than i spent on the phone.
Well, let me put it this way: if they're operating at such a small scale, they have no reason to be using any eventually consistent data store, so explanations about missing shards etc. still don't work. There are still other possibilities, as I and others have outlined, but not enough to dismiss the possibility that spez is just up to his old tricks.

Did it dwindle enough for the point to no longer be valid?

(No, not anywhere near close.)
I understand that, but you should probably do your ambitious thing and retire by 40 then. If it takes a whole life, delegation and modest pace are paramount.
> Which could make for a really interesting experiment - how many people would buy the EU replaceable battery edition of the phone vs. importing/traveling to a non-EU country nearby to buy the other version.

Assuming everything else is close enough.

I know there's an ocean between me and the EU, but importing a phone becomes significantly more difficult than it needs to be based on which cellular frequencies are supported.
My understanding is that this is termed “greedflation” and doesn’t appear to be an accurate theory on deeper analysis.
>"I don't think replaceable batteries or USB-C requirements restrict the industries ability to move forward. "

Compelling the use of USB-C will cause stagnation in connector innovation; there's no point in trying to to create new and more durable/water-proof/wear-resistant/faster connectors. The requirements for replaceable batteries may cause stagnation in other innovations; if we imagine that there'd been similar requirements in the alkaline era, we might never have gotten to Lithium-Ion.
Mercedes is hoping ChatGPT will reveal how drivers talk to their cars
wait that’s the opposite: reddit uses a flat username space, whereas the federated ones have a hierarchical namespace that reduces collisions. there can only be one “johannes” on Reddit, but right now there can be 200-300 “johannes” on Lemmy (rendered “johannes@<remote_instance>” when viewed from a foreign instance).
HN is more or less moderated on similar guidelines, and the discussions here are better than on most online spaces I've been a part of.

I understand that one cannot draw a line to clearly separate categories from categories, but that doesn't mean that categories don't exist.

As to the definition of these terms, I was only thinking of their "common sense" meaning.
This sounds like it would require a lot more people to perform moderation -- an emotionally taxing and thankless task -- to come up with a community that everyone enjoys their own facet of.

I also think it will lead to the Nazi bar problem: https://twitter.com/IamRageSparkle/status/128089153745134387...

>"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

>And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

>And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."

If someone posts totally innocuous, on-topic content one day, and absolutely heinous stuff the next, I don't want to only see the innocuous stuff -- I want to not have to be around someone who has shown that they are an awful person at heart, and I also don't want to be in a space that will quickly be filled with their friends (and which my friends will have to endlessly moderate away).
This is why I have always been a fan of my work flow being based around thin clients.

You should be able to access your data, projects, anything from anywhere. Then the desktop vs. laptop is a matter of comfort/circumstance.

My toolkit for this now involved tailscale for network, nfs/smb shares for data access, and vscode/neovim for programming.

It's incredibly powerful
Cameras are also much larger, so there are more options for how to optimally weatherproof them, such as thicker gaskets or moving circuitry to better locations.
TY! The intention was to deploy a free backend server. The difference is that it executes code whenever you want and can execute lots of code (on the backend) while serving your requests and this one - the script that I provided raises such a server that does it for free, it capable in terms of hardware to serve very high loads.
> misguided, policies from people who aren't qualified to to make the decisions they are making, and aren't listening to experts.

Ask yourself what kind of game regulators are really playing?

See how many former banking regulators end up working at large banks, same is true for pharma and without even looking probably many other industries. The regulatory system is in place only partially to safeguard people, it is also in place to enforce barriers of entry and it is in place to act as a nice career pathway for it's participants.

Why would I care what reddit does? I'm trying to understand how Lemmy works.
> literally something I've never cared or benefitted from

I'm happy for you, for never having lost a phone due to an accidental encounter with water. I haven't lost one recently, but:

- I fumbled an old flip phone while having a night out on the town and dropped it into the toilet.

- I replaced it with a really cute small Kyocera candy bar phone, that my girlfriend at the time didn't notice was still in my pants pocket when she washed my pants (I'm not sure if waterproofing would have saved this...)

- I recently dropped an iPhone 12 into a bathtub full of water and suffered 0 ill effects from it.

If I had to choose between replaceable batteries and waterproofing, I'm not sure which I'd personally choose. I've changed internal batteries in a few phones over the years... it was a bit of a hassle, but kept a $1000 device alive for another year or two. The water-killed phones... there was no bringing them back to life.
> I do think moving the goalposts or being dishonest about your intentions are wrong.

> If you think you might one day make money on it, just say that up front and don’t be greedy when you finally do.

You're implicitly assuming that they're doing a deliberate bait and switch instead of just realizing after the fact that they screwed up.

There seems to be an open source fundamental attribution error here where someone changing their mind is evidence that they plotted all along to do evil.

It is also a failure to apply Hanlon's Razor--the original choice to open source license probably was ignorant/naive/stupid and not done with malice in mind.
If they do, and it turns out that people generally prefer the EU model, other regulators might follow.
> I get that managers are not techies, but allowing them to use this term is harmful to them.

All I'm saying is that if the words you use have a reasonable interpretation that is different from what is intended, it is better to just adopt new phrasing.

> which can lead to legal troubles

I very much doubt this. LeCun has been calling MAIR's work Open Source for quite awhile and people have been arguing about it being Source Available and not Open Source™. IANAL but I have a feeling that if OSI took Meta to court that they would lose, just like I expect Taco John to lose Taco Tuesday and how Bayer lost aspirin. I'd say that the case would probably even be clearer than those, as all Meta needs is a dictionary. I'm sure there's something similar to Roger's test for this.

Fwiw, I don't know a single person, in the flesh, that thinks Open Source is different from Source Available. My bubble is mostly nerds and techy folks. I was only introduced to the OSI definition here on HN, and I was already starting graduate school by that time, even having work experience developing software. I'm not sure what bubble I'm in or the "OSI's definition is well known" is in, but clearly we have to recognize that at least people like me exist. It seems like we're not uncommon either.
User error on my side - wasn't obvious that I'd actually logged in!
This is being downvoted I guess for its tone, but I think the point is a good one: Laws that apply over a large jurisdiction are easier and cheaper to comply with. Maybe a good example of this is laws surrounding alcohol; I think it's kind of crazy that a winery in CA trying to ship an order back to a tourist's home has to understand and comply with local and municipal laws on the other side of the country and knowing which counties are dry and where their specific boundaries are ... which creates real cost and complexity that each of those businesses contends with, and higher prices get passed on to all consumers.

When companies decide the complexity is too high, they sometimes just have to target the most stringent law that they can reasonably cover, e.g. car companies meeting CA emission standards can make CA the defacto national standard. A buyer in Texas is presumably paying a higher price for a car designed to meet a law in another state. It would be more democratic if there was just a national standard.
This is the crux of the issue. The owner/moderator/single person/relatively small group of people become the arbiters of truth on those questions and that is wrong.
> Disagree. "Throw-away" culture has been a historic norm and can actually become a moral "should"

> However, cultures that produce "beneficial" waste have a moral imperative to produce more

To me "throw-away" culture very much implies with it that what you're throwing away something toxic without considering the about consequences -- maybe you could say "composting" culture as an alternative. And in that context, there isn't really "waste" at a system level, only on an individual one. It's a good point that there is all the difference between just managing waste (repair) and recycling it. Both are independent skills and good in their own way.
> Death threats are an actual crime. Nobody's been held accountable for that though.

The one I know of was a Samsung which didn't really succeed at water tightness.
Reddit is still also open to indexing, so the data is still currently available with no authentication required to anyone interested in crawling it. The training data for AI theory doesn't hold water.
>The earth is a sphere. A sphere made of solid rock [...]

The earth is NOT a solid rock. It's a very thin layer of rock, floating on top of a pool of magma, itself floating in space. The rock itself flows on all sorts of time scales as well.

A sphere will be forced by the wind, almost the same amount as any other object, regardless of its density or weight.
> I don't think replaceable batteries or USB-C requirements restrict the industries ability to move forward.

These ultra thin foldable phones probably couldn’t exist with removable batteries. The thinness required to make it comfortable to use would be hard and so would the structural integrity with a removable backplate.

It would absolutely restrict durability since it’d make waterproof and dustproofing way more challenging, if possible at all.

Removable backs would limit wireless charging hardware like apples MagSafe (which is great!).
No. That's silly.

> No manufacturer wants a repeat of the 1080Ti

I think I'm out of the loop. What does this mean?
I think it's pretty necessary. I remember I went to a theme park and wanted to have a good time and got drenched. My new phone was ruined. Just the other day, a friend that tried to throw me into a pool got pulled in with me. He had his phone on him. Though the last one is a bad example, sometimes you want to do something spur of the moment and not worry about ruining your phone.
Is this rule enacted now or was this just a vote?

That's the important detail for whether this counts as SNI or not (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).
> I hope that these systems make a comeback.

Forums are as popular as they were 10 years ago to be honest.
These days, if anyone is asking for money for any reason, it's usually a scam-- sadly, even if it's a family member. (Fleecing family is always a good way to begin a career in fraud, since they trust by default and are always reluctant to press charges. Ask Bernie Madoff!)

The kids in particular have figured out how to couch grifts in medical care and college tuition-- two outlets donors have no visibility into and cannot expect any sort of accountability for. Raising money and pretending to execute is how the scam generally goes since you can't verify anything.

Good faith is dead. Trust without transparency and you will be exploited.
Used iPhone XSs are selling for <2/3 the price of new old stock (NOS). Why did you shift from one item to the other in the middle of your comment?
Thank you EU.

On apple devices specifically I've found battery life to be the showstopper. ifruits all the way back to 7 if not longer are still very usable....but that would be a 7 year old battery. Most lithiums start to fade after 2 years.
Realistically, small independent provider organizations like that are going to fade away. Between IT issues (advanced persistent security threats), insurance costs, and regulatory compliance requirements it now takes greater economies of scale just to continue operating. Many of those small practices have already been rolled up into larger integrated care delivery organizations and that trend will only continue. I'm not claiming that this is necessarily a good thing, just that it's inevitable given the incentives in the US healthcare system.

Starlink may be a good option for giving rural medical facilities reliable access to cloud services.
As you note, the real issue here is that the problem is poorly framed. Let's instead consider spherical monkeys in a vacuum...

Make new regulation to require non-proprietary screws
Only if your best way of expressing yourself is in what you buy
The fixation on comparing this to a toilet plunger is unnecessary and somewhat off-putting, but yes, this is pretty common nowadays. The LUCAS is a huge help and makes running a cardiac arrest feasible with a crew of 2-3 people, previously it required a larger team and lots of switching out who was doing chest compressions. It also makes it much easier to move a patient while CPR is in progress since you don’t need to pause compressions moving in and out of the back of an ambulance, etc.

They do tend to be… rougher… apparently they do _such good_ CPR that the risk of damaging the great vessels is much higher than with manual CPR, but I think the tradeoff of getting consistent chest compression quality works out in favor of it still.

There’s a saying in EMS: “lift with your firefighter, not with your back!”. My heart goes out to any firefighters named Lucas.
Divers don’t change
Yeah I'm not a nihilist about impacting change. There are lots of things you can do to change things because companies are just people and not every single thing is a hard decision from on high, there is leeway and room to lead. I just take issue with framing it as wielding your leverage and acting like an outsider of the company looking in and being in conflict with the company.
There's no reason why devices can't have such a newer, better port alongside type-c. Until the new port gains traction the presence of type-c will help with compatibility, and presumably once this hypothetical connector has been proven better than type-c the regulation will simply be updated to mandate that instead.
