You own the copyright to your own tweets. When you tweet you give Twitter a license to display the tweet, but you still own it. This is all spelled out in the Twitter terms of service.
Start with goals. “With all this stuff I hope…” or think what you hope to be true in three years. Work back from that. The default (which is great if you like) is I’d like to spend a lot of time shuffling digital resources.
As great as the Apple trackpads are, if you are reading docs, scrolling through stuff, a touch screen is superior. More precise for text selection. Can’t lose the cursor. Better on my wrists. And complex motions are easier. I wish I could CAD with a touch screen gestures.

It’s different environments too. If I am at my desk with external screens, I want a trackball. I don’t want to reach for the screen. But on the couch, or on the go, I wish I had a touch screen Mac laptop.
The goal should be to raise quality of life. The only way to do that is to raise productivity.
1. I'd expect that in most pay-to-win video games, the top players are not also the top spenders. Depends on the amount of strategy and skill required.

2. No, because the people writing the rules of Golf aren't the ones that sell you clubs (as far as I know. Maybe there's some devious stuff going on behind the scenes).

3. Correct.

While I don't think "money is the only thing that determines the winner", Magic is absolutely is pay-to-win. It would not be pay-to-win if people could print their own cards (following a set of standards, of course), even though printing costs money.
That would have required negotiating image hosting, having a significant amount of server power and storage space, dealing with laws about who can see what, and active moderation until volunteers can be found to moderate the content. Having someone to deal with DMCA requests and age verification laws.

If it wasn't a subscription service (that had to front load a lot of its costs), it also involves getting advertisers for people who are demonstrably hostile to advertisements on board.

This requires hiring more than a few people and investing a bit into the infrastructure needed. It isn't just "hey, gonna spin up a server that is API compatible with reddit and switch everyone over."
Why even bother, besides the fact that it’s fun to tinker with storage and backup solutions?

When’s the last time you looked at any of that stuff? If it was all deleted today, what would you honestly miss most? Save that and forget about everything else.
Wow, I just learned about this ARObject thing. You can long press a QR code on an iPhone and see a 3d object in AR. Or without a QR code for example, if you're on an iPhone, try following this link [0] and then tapping the body of the page.

This wasn't a "dark web" thing in the late 90s, it was widely used. Unfortunately due to the awfulness of search engines today I can't find it now, but I remember there's a PHP script called "moonchat" which was somewhat common and JS-less.
It means Musk wants OpenAI to pay him.
They weren't "private" TV networks. They are licensed by the government to use our airwaves, which are accessible by all (except CNN, which is cable).

There's a big difference.

Governmental and public institutions should not be relying on Twitter for their communications. It's unprofessional at the very least.

How on EARTH do you make money with 30 different phone versions? Do apple/google/samsung TOGETHER even put out 30 phones a year? That seems absolutely not profitable but what do I know I guess!
I can honestly say that I have no intention to continue using reddit on any mobile device without apps like Apollo, Sync etc. A real shame, because I found reddit communities made over hobbies to be such a good source of anecdotal information.
You know, I'm all ears, but has anyone besides CloudFlare implemented a viable successor and solution to this? Is that the answer, then? Migrate everyone to CloudFlare?
When I was a kid, everyone was aware of the concept of prank calling 911, pulling the school fire alarm, etc. We play close to the line too. But the thing that stopped us is that we didn’t want to get caught and punished. The “Technological” part enters the equation because people are finding ways to anonymously make these fake reports.
That's just in subscription revenue of $13/year, which is for the people who wanted notifications. The revenue from ads is far more.
> It really amused me that people think "RDF never caught on" when it is the basis of so many major standards such as RSS, Adobe's XMP metadata, and, I just found out, ActivityPub.

What does it mean to have caught on or not, though? How many RSS, XMP, ActivityPub implementations are actually considering things as triples and not just considering parent-child relationships within the XML tree?
How is that a tautology?
I was amused to see this the same day I finished reading it.

Not an advice book, but does include heart healthy diet advice

"For if someone should know that light meats are easily digestible and healthful, but is ignorant of what sorts are light, he will not produce health; rather, he who does know that poultry is light and healthful will to a greater degree produce health."

Tl; dr: a bunch of know-nothing plumbers swerve their digital cars from last years buzzword (blockchain) towards AI, narrowly missing a collision with a crowd of VCs. Upon arriving at the AI convention they switch hats to AI where they list themselves as experts (they can use the Chat-GPT API.) How any of this works or what problems may arise are a job for the cleanup crew (paid less, they aren't calling themselves experts.)
> The idea that Lula is using his political power to take Bolsonaro out of the game is laughable, IMO.

Huh? He literally said he ran for president out of a petty need for revenge against everyone who wronged him. Everything he said he would do, he's doing right now. There was even a torture and assassination attempt against the judge who convicted him and his family about a day after he openly and publicly said he was going to fuck the guy.
>>Plenty of nation that are not lawless but are effectively unregulated in the matters being discussed.

Depending on your provider, but there could be an "Adjusted Close" (Yahoo has it) which includes stock splits and dividends. I tried a few backtesting libraries, thought backtesting.py[1] was easy to work with and straight to the point.

I blocked ads after trying to show my kids tiny cakes during election season, and every cake episode was talking about politicians who rape everyone.
are you seriously equating one person's existence to another person's beliefs?

By your line of reasoning a doctor could refuse to treat you because they don't agree with your "lifestyle". This isn't hypothetical: it was a widespread approach of doctors for decades.

It's truly amazing how conservatives will argue refusing to serve a nazi because of their beliefs is an assault on freedom but also demand the right to deny service to people simply because they exist.
I totally understand. I know "bacon" is a thing everywhere, and it doesn't mean cured strips of pork belly everywhere. I guess I'd say "bacon" in popular culture refers to the American product, whose flavor is heavily derived from the interaction of sodium nitrite with pork belly. To tell an American "you can get bacon without the nitrites" is a little like saying "you could just go eat an apple". True, but irrelevant! :)
so? where's the deterrence?
These types of things can be guesstimated on validity pretty well, using likelihood. Do you know 10 people? 20? Ask how many have been swatted. If the answer is "none", then it decreases the likelihood that the model is accurate. The further off your sampling is from the "reported" rates, the more likely that that model is wrong.

The other explanation is that the data is heterogeneous but then that means we have an aggregation error. That also isn't great either, especially since it means the problem is potentially even larger, but only affecting a specific group.

Either way, not good.
The most important section of this article, "Accuracy and success", has no information about either, except for the inventor's own claim. So 28 results are locked away safely in a museum? Wanna elaborate on those results a little, Wikipedia?
Another one: Soccer (football) style kicking for field goals in American Football. Pete Gogolak introduced it to the AFL in the 60s and by 1980 the traditional kicking style had disappeared entirely.
I agree, but that political calculus doesn't impact my personal assessment of whether I think it's a good policy.

> "Middle class" isn't really 50th percentile any more these days.

I don't get it, why not? It does seem to be true that everyone from like the 25th to the 95th percentile thinks they are "middle class". But I don't buy it.

"increases the liquidity if the market for everyone else"

That's just it. The whole premise is pretty absurd. The market, the actors, everything. It's so far removed from literally anything remotely human. It's the financial equivalent of an infinite sea of AI bots producing CVs and research papers which are only being evaluated and read by other bots.

If you step away from it all for a second, what the hell is the endgame of this whole hustle.

>It's a judiciary dictatorship. They're working to censor Bolsonaro friendly radio stations right now. Ever seen a democracy do that

Selective outrage judiciary system is a hallmark of Tier-3 dictatorship.

That means that government's law enforcement, spy agencies, and other instruments directed at combating criminal activities inside the country or unfriendly regimes -- are now turned to be used against political opposition.

Selective outrage judicial system, obviusly means that justice is not blind.
That, in turn means -- the justice is lost.

Tier 2 dictatorship -- will be legislative changes curbing dissent (in both elections into legislative bodies and the laws themselves around elections, financial instruments, etc).

Tier 1 -- will be constitution changes solidifying the extended rule of one or several individuals for unlimited amount of years.
> We asked this question as part of our survey on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in order to see whether there is a relationship between opinions on the government issuing a central bank digital currency and government installing cameras in homes.

Man is it hard to take such a survey in good faith when you read things like that…
So who advertised the wheel to you? The sextant? The hammer? The abacus? Good inventions stand on their own technical merits and don’t need advertising to get others to see that they are good ideas.

I'm at least glad that people will start looking into the alternatives.

The next lesson they need to learn is TANSTAAFL. Nothing good can come with an internet where publishers are paid with eyeballs. We need to rescue the idea that "voting with your wallet" is the best and fairest way to have quality content.
These days setting up a website costs $16/mo[0] and is so simple my 70yo father-in-law did it. I'm pretty sure most public agencies can find that in the budget.

You're not really responding to the parent. Yes, people can and will create art with no profit motive, but some people are considered really good at creating art and make their living off of it. In the yesteryear before the Internet, selling artworks was effectively the same as selling other products; you get a physical item that you keep. Now there are all sorts of issues with copyright, and while I don't support all aspects of the copyright system, I also don't think that artists should be thrown to the curb. You would probably care if you wrote professionally and computers were threatening your livelihood.
As measured by what? Clojure is pretty popular, as is Racket in other circles. Common Lisp is robust, standardized, and "decentralized" with both free and commercial implementations. It and Python power a few quantum computing technologies.
> More concretely, if someone took a COVID vaccine and had a terrible allergic reaction, doctors will strongly advise against further vaccination. Should that person's immutable physical traits justify discrimination against them?

We don't let people with epilepsy drive, despite that being an immutable characteristic.
I guess this is how we break our addictions. Feels bad though.
Can't you just take good advice without getting so defensive? It's not a life or death matter.
User-provided content is provided under a license between the user providing it and the site hosting it -- inherently, because otherwise the site wouldn't be allowed to do anything with it at all. Generally this takes the form of the site's ToS saying that the user gives the site a perpetual license to use the content however they want, but generally not an exclusive license.

As such, and I'm not a lawyer and can't promise this is true, I suspect that reddit couldn't actually do takedowns on someone who's archiving their user-provided content. Any specific user whose content was archived without their consent could do so, however.
Yep, I was thinking of the guilds. There was a pretty strong concentration of wealth and power too, as noted in the quote you have.
Ask HN: Is there a modern “pop-up” blocker?
In the good old days, browsers had pop up blockers that blocked new windows websites tried to open, and all was well.

Nowadays, popups are back. I open a site and when I scroll, I get asked to sign up for the newsletter, or create an account, or register my email address, etc...

NPR is as good an example as any: https://www.npr.org/2023/06/28/1184544944/tcm-turner-classic-movies-david-zaslav

So, is there a modern(ish) extension that can block this behavior? I am hesitant to disable JS but that may be needed at this point. I just want to read the article -- after I am done, I might want to sign up for a newsletter, but you have to prove to me you have good content first.

Any help here gang?
The sugar lobby makes it far cheaper than it should be. Kind of funny seeing Americans subsidize their own diet destruction.

old.reddit.com is somehow still a better mobile Safari experience than the new Reddit site.
Things are not carved in stone, we had to change the OS and something quite unforeseeable for a RDBSM happened. Imho DBMS should be a sort of self sufficient OS in itself.
FWIW I understood your communication and I agree it is contradictory:)
I have a pixel 6 pro, works great
Never had problems with the microphones, and calls are extra clear because they do some ai nonsense to upscale the audio coming into the phone
My 2 main gripes are:
The modem, I have issues with reception in the strangest locations, I can have direct line of sight to 3 different cell towers and still get stuck on edge till I hit the "Fix connectivity" button in settings, but when it is working (which it does 95% of the time), works great
The camera, amazing photo quality, videos look great, I have nothing against image quality. But the videos this thing takes are MASSIVE, even with HVEC on, a 50 second video can weigh over 300mb. Not sure what's up with that.
Oh also the main shooter camera is mechanically separated from the rest of the phone, so if you shake the phone or whip pan it too hard, you can hear it rattle.

Overall 9/10 though!
I hear the pixel 7 has a better modem
Narwhal (a 3rd-party iOS Reddit app) is still going and it turns out not biting the hand that feeds you works pretty well.

Respect to the Apollo guy for having the confidence that he could get Reddit to back down through a well-organized PR campaign. But he could’ve had a decent business if he’d just backed down, given in a little, and not tried to make Spez look like a bigger idiot/liar than he already did.

I love a good risky David v. Goliath gamble and would’ve liked to see him win, but sometimes you lose it all.
> iOS has no user controls for this behavior

Actually, it does but they are shockingly unintuitive and hidden. The best way to change your preference among supported link handlers is to copy a URL, paste it into the notes app, then long press that link and choose “open with” either safari or your preferred app. That will stick until the next time you long press a link in this way.

An iOS developer for JIRA taught me this when I submitted feedback that the JIRA app suddenly stopped intercepting links (probably because I had inadvertently long-pressed to open a link in safari, not knowing I was setting a preference by doing so)
We're literally discussing an article in which a court said you need a warrant to surveil people in a group chat, and you're saying their is not a significant gap between that and china (where there is consistent pervasive surveillance of all communication at all times)?
For some reason, Narwhal, which is another nice app, is still working.
That's something big providers would say.
I keep hoping that in the near future we will think of companies/NGOs/influencers/Governmental Institution on twitter as using aol.com for their email.
Isn’t that just one instance? You don’t have to join that one.
Wikipedia has it has a pretty great article on sunspots.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunspot

Your question got me curious, those are called penumbral filaments. Their form has to do with the orientation of the magnetic field relative to the surface of the sun.

Electronics refers to circuit board assembly not discrete electrical components. I doubt you think their diodes or capacitors are US made
> It’s been the primary organizational mode for the last 10,000 years.

For most of human history, most businesses were small ma and pa shops operated by a few local people. These days large business chains are the norm. You could say that centralized big business killed the decentralized small ma and pa shops.
Fly.io Work Samples
Has anyone had success with getting hired? The work samples they do are deceptively hard. I feel like I did really well, only to get a rejection. I’ll probably reapply in 6 months as I’m super interested in the company just looking for other experiences.
It really depends on what data you're processing with. For someone whose data is hundreds of tetrabytes, the workflow to saving those data and manipulating or retrieving those data as request becomes very tricky, very hard task, especially when you think about the backup time. Maybe you can scale down the concept of L1, L2, L3 cache but at a higher, bigger scale. And always figure out what's the most important things to you at different stages and make those choices. You definitely compromise something in order to have large scale of data. So, again, it's about figuring out what's most important to you.
Right. It’s modal. Depending on the kind of task you have on hand, you need different input methods. That’s why you still need a keyboard and touchpad.
I think there's a difference in saying "software tends to be buggy, security can't be perfect" vs "I'm using a baseband modem running out-of-date Linux, that has DMA to my entire phone, that the manufacturer has stopped supporting, and there's active CVEs".

> Without physical possession of the device, access to drivers passes through the OS.

With all due respect, that is not a wise take on modern device security. At all, all, all.
Don’t @ people down thread of you. It makes for a really shitty reading experience

Thinking about how gravitational waves pass through us all the time stretching us out and squishing us and changing how time passes has for some reason been one of the most comforting realizations I've ever had. I still don't quite have the right words for why, but to me it kind of answers questions like if we are in a simulation (my hunch is no) and weird head trip questions that can be depersonalizing like that from my perspective last Tuesday I started hallucinating all of this including everything I think is my history. Not that I think that, just something about the foam of turbulent gravity washing over all of us invisibly. Yeah, comforting.
The thing is, we all already know that we have abandoned some of the moral standards of the past, and that those in the past would view us as immoral/sinful/degenerate/whatever. That's not actually a very interesting question or point at all. The interesting version of the moral decline question is whether there has been a decline in things we actually care about, which is why people react by trying to answer that question.
Advertisement meant to inform is valuable. However, almost all advertising is meant to bewilder.

Advertising and marketing executives spend all their time thinking up ways to say things that are technically true if construed in the most torturous way possible while implying something else. That is a pure intent to confuse and bewilder and is the lifeblood of the industry.

We can fix this by requiring advertising to inform. Any implication that overstates your product should be false advertising. The test is simple, if your lawyer says: “Well technically…” you lose. You must be truthful, clear, and spend all of your time thinking about how a customer might misinterpret what you say over-positively and nip that in the bud. Obviously, this depends on the target demographic, and the expected viewers who might act on the ad, but the details seem solvable once you approach it from the stated concept.

Advertising should inform, anything else should be the crime of false advertising.
Okay, but does that come back around and lead you to believe that's the same as paying back loans that individuals took of their own volition?

I walked into your trap, you got me--my region received hurricane funds. So now we should pay Chad's student loan back even though Chad said he'd do that himself? Huh?
If we’re having a wake…

I remember when I accidentally became a moderator of /r/science because they asked for variety of domain expertise and I’m a geographer and c’mon… nobody’s a geographer. It was a fun experience. Then became an educational one. Then frustrating. Then thankless. Then I stopped.

I’m happy for the lessons. I’m sad it died years ago.
