You missed out the point that UBI will just go to the landlords. Once the landlords see u getting a cheque they will up the rent accordingly. Hence taxpayers will be subsidising landlords.
I would really like to see some stats that backup this 1% rule in the age of social media. Your wiki link cites research from 2012 which is before the real social media boom. Seems to apply to Internet forums in the 2000s and doesn’t account for gamification etc that we’ve seen since.
I'm happy to see someone really trying to color outside the lines with deployment tooling. I think we've fallen into a number of paradigms for system operations that we know are kind of bad, but we tell ourselves about how much more awful it used to be to numb the pain. That sort of attitude is the real killer of innovation.

I say bring it on; more variance and more disruption in this space as people try new approaches might be what we need to get us out of the rut we've been stuck in for too long. No idea if it will work, but good luck to Adam and his team.

When I was in Google Maps, a popular interview question was "what's your favorite projection? (don't say Mercator)" I didn't get asked that one, fortunately.

Whenever I see one of those "the Earth from space" photos, I always think, "Wow, Africa is really big."
i just don't get it, considering they are basically completely relying on unpaid labor from the community to get even the TCL app front end working. the defaults are terrible and life became so much better after the mimoja-cafe frontend came out.
I’m all for expressing yourself socially but we do need to speak a common language to some extent otherwise those social interactions will quickly breakdown and never recur. If you want to create and maintain friendships you have to put in work to meet the other people where they’re at.
Sure, my bad. I was thinking of the case when the build fails in deployment, not after it is fully deployed. In that case, it should be okay to revert to the last successful build.
One thing that helped me as a kid was that my dad made time for us both to sit down and write a free form "story" (really a big paragraph) as kids. It could be on any topic but sometimes we'd all agree to write on the same topic if we were having trouble starting.

My siblings, father, and I would all write one over half an hour, and then read them to each other and discuss them.

I did fight it plenty, but in the end it was fun and helped make reading and writing more of a natural thing for me.

Your question looks genuine to me; not sure what those downvotes are for... Anyway:

More than 50% of my extended family believes that humans and Brontosaurus lived together on earth within the last 10,000 years.

I'm pretty sure that a few of them also believe that the number of Jews who died in the Holocaust is much less than 6 million.

None of them are cruel or bigoted either. Many of them are ridiculously kind.
I think the main weakness of this paper is that it doesn't really address why C is used in lieu of other "better-C" non-managed languages, such as C++, D, Nim, Rust, or Zig--it's almost entirely focused on the idea that the competitors to C are inherently managed languages, framing the question essentially as a "why C instead of Java?" which is a frustrating approach when you're asking "why not <language which is not Java in the same way C is not Java>?"
You are almost certainly referring to this:

https://www.paulgraham.com/hijack.html

Paul Graham compares the hijacking of an airplane to a buffer overflow attack.

He doesn't claim that tools for writing more secure computer programs could prevent terrorists from hijacking a plane.

He proposes the idea that some similar reasoning can be applied to preventing hijackings. It's not enough to monitor who gets on the airplane carrying what, but to separate the cockpit space from the passenger space.
Does figma have an external bug tracker. While developing a figma plugin I ran into a CSP issue for loading UI web workers as blobs. Not sure if I should go through standard figma support channels or is there a dedicated channel for plugin developers.
Neither one should be as big as they already are. Can we just stop all of this vertical integration in tech? We had this "conversation" in the US in the early 1900's, and I think we nominally balanced all the interested involved. Then the economists all got bought off to say that monopolies were a GOOD thing, and the government stopped putting any limits on corporations at all. We need to return to serious "trust busting."
Was amusing getting the notification for "$35" Eurostar tickets on the Uber app, when it should be £35, very on brand.
So correct me if I've misunderstood, but you originally said "customer hostile QoS" which would imply traffic shaping being done on the CPE router, say perhaps with the goal of decongesting the cable segment. This comment you've seemed to walk it back saying the problem with their CPE is that it facilitates service to other customers. If that second thing is really the only problem, then couldn't you just stick their CPE in a Faraday cage and/or unplug its antennas?

Also if they are doing traffic shaping, where does the default unclassifiable (eg VPN) traffic fall? It should be easy enough to get an unlimited VPS at a close enough data center and relegate Comcast to a dumb pipe (as they should be).

Well, sounds like we do not really disagree much. You mainly just object to my use of the word "woke" because you read it in its original meaning, which is fair. Feel free to just replace "woke" by "dogmatic authoritarian progressivism" in what I wrote.

>I personally believe mods are a net negative on Reddit, but not because they're "woke" or anything. Many are just assholes. You can be both liberal and an asshole, politics has very little to do with this situation.

Certainly.
Yes, this is the key dimension of the "currency" front. But bitcoin "advocates" (a term I'll use for diplomatic purposes) say that within a context that implies that is somehow a low bar to clear or just a consquence of the monopoly of force or somehow morally questionable. But becoming something people trust (or at least have some amount of confidence in multiple dimensions in) is one of the most difficult things for any new asset class or medium of exchange.

Some of the main ways currencies and commodities get there are value stability (sticking within a certain band with <100% annual swings), wide acceptance and utility. After 10 years of many techno-smart people trying to engineer cryptos to become that we are nowhere near any of these promises being fulfilled.

Good.

Reddit needs to convert their model to financially compensate moderators of subreddits based on the revenue ads on that subreddit generate.

In return, moderators need to re-agree to a set of terms that align their incentives towards being impartial and fair towards the users of those subs.

Mods who agree could stand to make good side-hustle money (maybe even full time job money), and Reddit could obtain a method for showing their future shareholders that they're in control of the revenue channel.

Could run this program out of a spreadsheet until the code gets written to automate, and IMO this is important enough to pay the lawyers and accountants to figure out the details.

YouTube does this, Twitch does this... it's absolutely feasible, and everybody wins.

Hell, if you want to be tricky, you could set up some kind of currency market (probably avoid crypto but if ever there was a legit use for it...) that mods get paid in that they then sell to advertisers for space on their respective subreddits where Reddit gets a cut (I assume this resolves some amount of the labor/employment issues, but IANAL), but that's something you do after you put out the fire.

In our public school,the true tragedy is how the school union took advantage of Covid to push for teachers to have almost zero accountability or responsibility anymore.

Remote learning was an obvious disaster, but problems continued post-Covid. Some teachers stayed remote (!), requiring assistants in the classroom. Teachers rely on a host of shitty online platforms and expect the kids to figure out how to navigate all of them. Class is often little more than an email “read chapter 7 and do the problems”.

The icing on the cake was the grading system that gave kids a B for showing up.

Ourselves and many parents didn’t know how bad it was until standard testing came up and our kids were scoring in the single digits in percentile.

We have since moved to a private school for both. The first year was rough as they over came the Learning deficit and learned how to study again, but both are back as normal students with the kind of understanding in math, science, reading, etc they never would have gotten in public school.

From the musicians I've met who have it most have actually highlighted the annoying aspects of it more than the useful aspects, in that they can find it bothersome to hear music they're familiar with played in different keys or offset from standard pitch.

I've never experienced any correlation between pitch sensitivity and improvisation skill in groups of trained musicians.

I play a lot of improv and normally it takes no more than 2 notes playing along to determine the key of the piece and relative pitches are very learnable.
it’s a huge stretch to claim there was no bias involved. the biais is in putting europe front and center and at the top. Have you seen maps that place the americas in the center? How about maps with north and south swapped?

General low effort content scrollers

Power users and mods who appreciate creating and contributing to make a community

Advertising interests

The deal was, the ad seeking was for the mainstream strollers, and the contributing power users and mods could opt out of the bs. The community builders get a nice environment for their community, the scrollers get content, and the ad people get to shiw thejir ads.

I always thought spez understood this. Its why the api existed. Its why old.reddit.com existed. It was the commercial machine's compromise to the content generators in exchange for the moderating and commenting.

But he seems to have forgot. I wonder why?

Without the compromise the whole thing falls apart. Reddit becomes digg.
What could be the best industry to apply NLP2SQL
Hello HN, I have been working as a data analyst and felt really annoying by being distracted from colleagues asking for data. Thinking this could be a common problem, I created a platform nextbi.ai to use NLP2SQL to solve the issue. However the not well defined/organized data structure really make it difficult to use natural language to query for accurate data. What could be the best industry to dive in for applying NLP2SQL ? Appreciate if you could give me some thoughts. Cheers.

Sure, but it's understandable that there are malicious users paying for these services as well, and it's hard to distinguish between them when there's this little info.

This is my whole point – by getting an account manager and building that relationship you quickly, and massively, change the level of trust compared to a credit card number you stuck in a landing page.

I'm a big fan of teaching rubrics and even test-taking skills.

But that's a far different thing from eviscerating your subject in order to teach points tests are likely to hit in isolation, which is happening a whole lot, especially when teachers are evaluated heavily on test outcomes.

So what did you mean by "Maybe they should be reminded?"

> I AM advocating education, by both employees and companies' legal council.

Reminding people of the "history" that violence and terrorism have (occasionally, arguably) been effective still comes across as an implicit threat. If you were advocating violence but trying to disingenuously pretend otherwise, you would have used the exact same words. I can and will assume good faith here, but you need to be a lot more careful about the implications of what you're saying here. Moreover, that kind of rhetoric normalizes the use of violence and terrorism to achieve social/economic/political goals.

At any rate, while we are having a dispassionate discussion of history, I would also point out that violence doesn't always work out for the left/labor side of the equation. Sometimes populists use public fear of that terrorism to justify right-wing authoritarian regimes. Sometimes those regimes start throwing the leftists out of helicopters. Sometimes catastrophic world wars break out between leftist-revolutionary dictatorships and right-populist dictatorships. And to me, the moral of that long and bloody story is that you do not normalize or advocate violence as a means of achieving social/economic/political goals.

As we went over in the last discussion, "Sold a Story" can be a grueling podcast because of the ratio of information to cliff hangers.

The short version, and maybe the entirety of the information in the 15+ hours of podcast is:

Phonics works. While some kids can learn to read English without phonics, many kids can't, and there are periodic trends to teach reading without phonics, which causes a lot of problems when a school district follows one of those trends.
> That's the point of the post.

I lost it in the post. Whenever I hear the “crisis” part presented without the perfectly rational explanation I get frustrated and spend more time trying to figure out if this is a problem.

Saying “maps distort the way we see the world” is a problem unless you immediately follow it with “and that’s ok because…”

Otherwise we waste time on stuff like “eyeballs distort the way we see the world” when it’s true but not an issue at all.

Especially since the first paragraph mentions how countries closer to the equator tend to be poorer. As if that’s somehow relevant.
work, sure, but not _that_ much. It's affine transformations / some fast linear algebra, for the most part. Your second point is for sure true, though.
Please enlighten me then!
The thing is, it is more complex than that. Reddit's authoritarianism is an important part of why some of those other social networks you listed became what they are in the first place and/or why they were created to begin with. The more censorship of political views that lean a certain way there are on big mainstream platforms like Reddit, the more likely it is that refugees from that censorship will move to other platforms, therefore leaning those platforms highly into the opposite ideological direction. That is even more true given that the people who care enough to want to move will tend to be the more ideologically extreme parts of the original network's user base.

Also, 4chan does not suck. /pol/ sucks because it has been completely overrun by right-wing political extremists and literally mentally ill people, so it is an echo chamber just as much as Reddit is, just less censored. But many of the other boards have discussion from varying perspectives.
Another attempt by Dev to make Ops a commodity? I was there when Microsoft announced ~20 years ago they're doing away with sysadmins with a GUI. Then Suse tried as well if I remember correctly. The conferences erupted with anger and booing, I was shaking my head and laughing.

Then came the great YAML plague and we had to give up our title and general purpose languages in favor of silly names, templates and DSLs. But you still have to understand the OS, the hardware, and have real world experience with availability, redundancy, etc. So the new generation of "DevOps" who was raised directly on terraform and k8s failed miserably in achieving any results.

Anybody saw any junior Ops (DevOps, SRE, GitOps, wtfeverops) job openings in the last few years? No? I wonder why. The tools are better, no? It should be easier than ever to deploy. We have all this micro-service orchestration and all those beautiful public clouds. All the conferences and the marketing are saying it's a breeze. You don't have to worry about ha, replication, iops and so on, we'll put that on your bill thank you very much.

So here comes Dev again with a solution: click-click-drag Ops. Surely this will fix things, surely you can now hire right from the street and train to deploy. Or will my old admin ass get even pricier as the demand ever rises and the supply is dwindling? Stay tuned to find out.
> Then Tesla pulled a fast one on the morons at GM and Ford

They're trying to sell expensive EVs, but people were buying Teslas instead because they can guarantee the chargers work and are in good locations.

Hi all,

I have tried many times to post this but don’t know how the system has blocked me from posting about it. But essentially here is a new design for a new community I am working on creating. It will have the old design of Reddit but in a new format.

Please upvote if possible, I spoke with Christian from Apollo who was really nice and wished me luck in creating a new community.

I plan to bring chooter as CEO of the new community, and do daily AMAs like the old days.

Please let me know what you think of the new design and if it is something you would appreciate :)

This will never happen. Reddit already makes rules that are not impartial or fair towards users. If they pay the mods the mods will only work to serve reddit (and therefore reddit's advertisers) not users.

In NJ, there is a severe deficiency in this in many schools, and federal funding does not come into play directly. Here, when your school can’t provide services, they can be forced to pay for another school that offers those services. Our district spends hundreds of thousands of dollars a year paying for out of district schooling because they don’t have the resources themselves.
