Why work around it? If they want to kill their service, I'd rather watch it happen with a smile than desperately try to save them.
What is important is that not a single country had a solution when they started their programs. That is the point. You said it's been researched for 30 years now. But why is that ok when you insist that renewables should've figured out details like grid improvements before doing anything? Why is it ok to waste billions on temporary storage solutions for decades if it's not ok to invest in renewables before you improve the grid first. Both things can be viewed as wasteful, but you only have a problem with the second. It's nit-picky in the case of renewables and inconsistent. It's what you said, I am not putting anything in your mouth.

They are paid off, but if you are struggling with debt with those, you will not be able to finance anything new. Look at residents of South Carolina: their cancelled nuclear plant cost 9 billion, and they are now paying for non-existing electricity on their bills because the company needs to pay it off [1]. It's simple. Relevant quote:

"Thanks to a state law passed in 2007, residents in South Carolina are footing the bill for a massive failed nuclear reactor program that cost a total of $9 billion. Analysts say that corporate mismanagement and poor oversight means residents and their families will be paying for that failed energy program — which never produced a watt of energy — for the next 20 years or more."

Your impression of policing in the USA is a caricature of reality. B) and C) are particularly offensive to make as unsupported claims. Policing in the USA is handled at a state level, and the policing product varies widely between localities.

Bad policing in the USA gets attention from around the world. Good policing in the USA gets none. Your comments betray a deep ignorance of policing challenges in the USA.

As a word of advice, commenting on domestic political issues of foreign nations often causes one to appear quite foolish, due to a lack of understanding the constituent factors.
No, it isn't. A corporation also shields most of those people from any personal liability for their actions under its umbrella.
> But did the average person who was told their debt was going to be forgiven know that?

How does that matter to the question if it was a mistake?

It's still a mistake to trust the wrong people, even if you didn't know better at the time. This seems like a good time to learn the lesson "don't count your chickens before they've hatched (even if someone tells you to)."

> ...how much blame to place on the administration versus the regressives in the court, but dismissing out of hand the human suffering caused by the reversal by going "they should have known better" is patently evil.

"Regressives"? "Human suffering"? "Patently evil"? That's, frankly, a completely immature and utterly ridiculous position to take on this. If someone robbed a bank and gifted you money from the robbery, would you call the cops "evil" for taking the money back, because of all the "suffering" it would cause you?

I get it, you really wanted student loans to be forgiven, but that doesn't make the people who oppose what you want "evil" or even bad.

The recent spike in 429 curiosity is from the status code Reddit's API now returns, which some third-party clients make clear to users. For example, RiF creates a toast notification with nothing but this code a bit repetitively.

Technically inclined people, perhaps. I think you're underestimating what the vast majority of Internet users are ready to put up with.
Yep and nothing of value was lost.
Reddit's Eternal September began no later than 2018 when Tumblr banned porn. What's happening now is that it has hit an apparent growth ceiling (most of the most upvoted posts are from more than a year ago) and the owners have realized that they have to make it profitable now or never.

As long as the site is growing, it doesn't have to be profitable. But when the music stops...

Tabby is actually the name of our mascot (Tability.io). I agree that OKRs are context dependant, and you can add a lot of context in the box to get better suggestions (ex: We have an eCommerce platform selling mainly _____, and we want to double the number of returning customer).

That being said, the goal for us was to help people get a draft plan that they can tweak later. For instance, I don't know anything about PR, but I can ask the AI to generate a plan to get press and use that as a starting point.

We've also experimented with an AI that looks at past data to provide better advice, but you'd have to be in the product to see it.
The premium account holders don't see ads in reddit. All Reddit had to do was require premium accounts for users that wanted to use 3rd party apps. If you want to keep using yoru 3rd party app, then sign up and pay or shut up and go home.

It would have been a much more logical change for everyone involved.

And yet, religion was touted for many years in this country as a justification for horrific racial discrimination.

The big issue here is that the court has declared that some classes are more protected than others, which will allow discrimination to flourish. They haven’t struck the right balance with this ruling.

I used to work for a very large financial institution. Scraping from finance apps was a material source of load even with substantial countermeasures in place. I can’t imagine what it does to sites like Twitter and Reddit (and HN).
> That cat's out of the bag, it has been common wisdom for decades that countries with nukes don't get invaded and other deterrents aren't nearly as effective or economical. Mutually assured destruction is one of the biggest reasons the world's been so peaceful recently. No major wars, just various nuclear powers occasionally invading various non-nuclear powers. MAD is mad effective.

Yes but you can still defeat a state that has nuclear weapons when they invade.

If you try and change that that rhetoric by saying you can also only defend yourself when you have nuclear weapons then the entire dynamic changes and a lot more countries will start active nuclear weapons programs.
I second you word by word.

Years ago I was brought to twitter compared to Facebook exactly because you could read without being logged in.
After a few years it had become a hellish place with lots of flames and arguments, but it still had some value.
It became clear that my engagement was mainly to discuss with random people about things knowing they would never change their minds (neither would I) on things like Covid vaccines.
It was a huge waste of time, but I found it out that surfing it as non logged would amore allow me to read without being able to reply to the most stupid comments. Some sort of read only Twitter.
Now that it has gone, Twitter has irrelevant.

How is it pedantic? The framing is fully wrong.

We can't eliminate murders but do we say the optimal amount of murders is non-zero? Instead, the right framing is "we live with some numbers of murders in aggregate because eliminating all murders is impossible". It's not like we need some number of murders for society to survive.

The use of the word optimal implies some murders (or fraud) is necessary for society (or financial transactions).
I believe the expectation is that there is a difference between new creative work by humans and the output of tools. Tools are not 'artistically influenced' by their inputs.

Also, a human can take a work, modify it, and create a derivative work. They do not have copyright to the original material, and the degree of derivation is a winding blurry line through the court system to determine if they fully own the new work.

I suspect these to dominate the arguments for the first court cases around generative AI art - that the artist (operator) is the one who has to justify that they provided enough creativity in the process to create an independent work.
Show HN: Linki, the Distributed Wiki
Hi everyone! I wanted to build a library that can be used to created distributed wikis, because I want people to have tools to run their own wiki as easy as it is to start a git repository and I want them to use each others' works. I want it to be as easy to share a git repository too. I want people sharing information by subscribing to each other and contributing to each other.

I have a lot to say about what caused this to become a reality inside my README.

Its pretty simple right now, and I hope to keep it simple but powerful in the future. I want to add more backends to it, improve its transfer methods, and improve its history storage. I want to create powerful frontends for it that have the powerful utility of github and wikipedia.

Consider this a soft release. I'm looking for guidance from those who become interested in it. Please share any ideas or recommendations as Issues. I want to see that 0.0.x turn into a 0.1.x as soon as possible and give it a grand release soon.

It seems like an easier defense would be for the buyer to say there was no payment involved and hope the seller does the same to avoid having to testify.

There is no principled reasoning from those politicians. The rule is basically "Sign any law that advantages women. Be neutral or against any law that advantages men."

Ask these politicians how they are respecting men's body autonomy. They will look at you confused thinking "body autonomy" applies only to women or outright get angry and say you are arguing in bad faith.
Yeah, it went down a few hours after making that post.
At this point I'm more angry at the mods than I am the evil corporation. They were afraid of Reddit ruining Reddit so they went ahead and burned it down themselves first. Congratulations, you got to be the ones to light the match.
This. Twitter is doing what they can to drive people to mastodon. I've held off closing my Twitter account but I need to get better familiar with mastodon. I was wondering if there are accounts like NWS <location> (weather updates) over there, or so they plan to have some soon. Also from brief exposure, servers like mastodon social reads like left wing echo chambers which is also cringe.
I don't know if I can believe the anecdotes, but apparently, human waste is used to fertilize crops in Mexico and South America, if only incidentally, because they say the workers aren't allowed to have bathroom breaks, so they just go wherever they are at the time.

It is insane watching the tech elite continue to conjoin themselves into a shape that allows them the ability to actually say Twitter is going well with a straight face.
This is learned helplessness acquired from the past decade where the internet became five megacorp websites. No different from your siblings or parents saying they aren't good at computers. It isn't a complex system. You are surely capable of figuring it out.

There is no principled reasoning from those politicians. The rule is basically "Sign any law that advantages women. Be neutral or against any law that advantages men."

Usually prostitutes are women and buyers are men. So they legalized the part where there are more women. That's either because women have more sympathy from society or for ideological reasons. Fixing crime was way below those reasons on those politicians priorities.
Corpspeak has gotten really pernicious in recent years. Its proponents and purveyors would do well to read George Orwell‘s writings on language: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_and_the_English_Lan....

These neologisms really grind my gears:

It’s a „request,“ not an „ask“ (noun).

It’s an „all-hands,“ a „roundtable,“ or a „townhall,“ not a „fireside chat“ for large, informal face-to-face meetings between executives and their staff.
Was/is there ever a precedent of punishing both buyers and sellers? How did/does it fare?

Sorry for tearing into you here, but I'm so tired of this cynical trope that gets repeated ad nauseum on HN in defence of any dark pattern at all.

It's a lazy, low effort, stereotyping take that people in tech tell themselves to feel less guilty, and that's all it is.
On my NAS, I have 8 directories in root. Audio, Data, Documents, Images, Literature, Software, and Video, and one I haven't quite decided what its proper name should be. Everything worth keeping fits into one of those.

Literature, I use UDC which is a Dewey Decimal variant that fixes alot of what's wrong with DD. Audio, Video, and Images are Plex.

The "not-named-well" directory still gives me trouble years later, and the concept makes sense to me. I keep (food) recipes in it, as a subfolder, but also stl physible files. And though I've never managed to find any anywhere, if I do, I'll keep house building plans there. I even spent an hour or two the other day learning what those would look like (I was surprised that plumbing plans are never included, and that most places charge extra for the materials list). It was just after the Sears home kit story hit here on HN, felt briefly inspired.
That doesn't make sense. Why is Twitter forced to hold the debt for being purchased and not Elon?

Looking at the numbers that is a lot of debt:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musks-twitter-takeover-see...

"As part of the deal, Twitter will add about $13 billion of debt. Analysts estimate, based on terms previously laid out in documents related to the transaction, that Twitter would be on the hook for annual interest payments of more than $1 billion, compared with some $51 million in 2021."
Do you have a legal decision that AI art forms no derivative of a copyrighted work, vs a derivative of ALL the copyrighted work in its training set?

There is no new law, there is ambiguity with the lack of current case law. There are certainly people who think generative art based on scraping the internet is infringing under current legal standards. We won't know until people go to court and judges make decisions.

Valve's insistence in the face of their own liability for selling derivative works seems a sound business decision here, at least when selling in markets where it is an open legal issue.
Not a highway accident spill, this is an update on yet another Hanford site spillage:

The spill of highly radioactive waste beneath a building on the Hanford nuclear reservation north of Richland and near the Columbia River is both deeper and broader than anticipated.

In a statement Thursday, the Department of Energy said the contamination in the soil at the Hanford 324 Building 1,000 feet from the Columbia River and a mile north of Richland is “much larger” than previously identified.

Now the Department of Energy is rethinking the cleanup plan for the spill discovered 13 years ago, with work crews making preparations for the excavation of the radioactive material over the past six years.

The spill of cesium and strontium in the soil beneath the 324 Building is so radioactively hot that it would be lethal to a worker on direct contact within two minutes, DOE has said previously.
Given that so many people are leaving to Amazon, yes, I would bet she is!
> They want to charge for what they believe the data is worth.

Counter argument: it’s not their data to charge for. And if they want to claim it is their data then they should be held accountable for the content therein.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t recoup costs for access to said data. You do after all pay taxes and get access to local libraries and archives. But they shouldn’t be extorting third-party developers.
Twitter is full of low-quality garbage, partly due to the culture and partly due to the format. I am very doubtful that it has much value for LLM pretraining OR fine-tuning.

Um, that was a unanimous decision where they indicated that the Commerce Clause extends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to hotels that host travelers from outside a state. Essentially, the Court held the government could prevent the motel from discriminating on the basis of race under the Commerce Clause. Since the motel was positioned near Interstates 75 and 85 and received most of its business from outside Georgia, this showed that it had an impact on interstate commerce, which is all that is needed to justify Congress in exercising the Commerce Clause power.
Please explain to me how is that political, given the Civil Rights Act?

For me, it was what age I was when I read Atlas Shrugged. I have so far read it 3 times, last 2 times just gone past Galt's speech as quickly as I could. Each time, I had a different opinion

1. Age 21: Loved the book. Loved the ideas proposed and completely agreed with the philosophy espoused in the book.

2. Age 25: Still like it. Maybe not all the ideas in the book. Some of them didn't make much sense, but overall the message from the book was agreeable.

3. Age 31: Hated it. Extremely unrealistic and more of a fairy tale.

I wouldn't read it again, waste of time and not worth the effort.

Don't mean to go off on a rant here...but soccer will always struggle in the US until the refs start aggressively calling simulation aka 'diving' (and maybe changing some penalty kick rules to discourage it) on the Neymar wannabes flopping around and acting like they've been shot by a tazer at the slightest touch. I've played soccer since I was like 10, and I've been a season ticket holder at my local MLS team since they started, so love the game. But I'm often too embarrassed to even bring up soccer with lots of my US based, sports-mad friends because inevitably the conversation devolves into how games turn on eye-roll worthy acting on the field, refs buying into it, and I can't argue they're wrong (esp since I played rugby as well so have little sympathy for "fake ouchies").

And since we're on the topic...soccer also needs to adopt rugby's rule that only the team captain can talk to the ref and question calls, and respect is required. But, you know...baby steps.
People have been saying the same thing about China and Russia since they got in a pissing contest in the '50s. Or if some fraction of Africa ever decides to work collectively.
