Sounds like Cobol. I get asked (not that I'm an expert, but I occasionally live in the strange ether between the mainframe and the fad-driven front-end) 'how hard is it to learn Cobol?'. Not so hard. But knowing Cobol is about 20% of the job. Knowing all the mainframe ecosystem (z/OS, CICS, etc) is what takes serious time.
The western Australian example just demonstrates why petrostates are wealthy - if you have big energy resources you can make stuff cheaper, surprise! And realistically all that's really happening there is west Australia is effectively imposing a tax on gas profits to subsidize the grid. There's no magic success here - just a redistribution of gas profits to electricity consumers.

I don't actually think the Australian grid is a good example of privatisation failure. There's little proof that we have meaningfully lost anything aside from the marching cry of the left.

I didn't know what a pannus was, and I am now sorry that I looked it up, and also sorry that I read this article too.

I am also sorry that I had an MRI several years ago. I had shoulder problems and they started with an X-ray. They sent me back for an MRI for reasons I'm really not sure about. It was claustrophobic and rather scary for me. Also I swear I kept as still as possible in there. Then there was no provider who had any use for the scan so it was an expensive mistake. When I finally managed to get my own copy of the report, the interpreter complained that data was bad because I had moved around too much. I was livid and I wonder why they can't figure that out on-site and retake until they get the proper data from this expensive and inconvenient procedure.

I had a minor shoulder issue and physical therapy got me functional again, without caring about the nature of the injury or diagnosis or interpreting a scan. For me, MRI was an insurance scam. Also, don't forget you're carrying around something ferrous, stashed in your fat folds. YMMV.

yes, this is one of the trade offs of any system built where one must decide between human moderation/curation vs automating moderation/curation.

if automation is chosen there will absolutely be situations where perfection is impossible. if human’s unparalleled ability to see nuance is chosen then the cost scales along with the amount of information.

the fact is, if we want a community and we want to keep signal above noise, we will need some form of removal of spam, child porn, racism, etc…

automatic tools can’t nuance as well as humans.

then human mods start nuancing and someone will point at stuff and call it biased.
Depends on their strategy but a lot of strategies depend on some sort of price discovery which requires having a probable estimate of what the current price should be and some form of market making around the level. In a very dislocated market the price is unknowable and it becomes gambling, and generally market making strategies are explicitly not about gambling but about facilitating trades around the “true” price.

No casual user is ever going to leave Reddit for Lemmy. Even for myself I’m probably not going to use Lemmy because it seems stupid to have to join multiple “Lemmys” and make multiple accounts, this isn’t a good user experience. People are supposed to have separate accounts for every Lemmy? All the communities are disparate and separated? It makes no sense to me at all.

>It's a lazy, low effort, stereotyping take

So is the take that average people think that facts about the current air quality should be owned by people.

If you ask an average person what's the current temperature is or if it's raining outside they will likely tell you if they know. People don't feel a need to try and monopolize the knowledge of things like that.
No, that is an entirely unrelated scenario. People will not be flocking to buy sex simply because it is legal. There's plenty of free ways to get it. And paying is widely stigmatized as a result. They'll flock to where there enforcement is most lax (e.g. legally Thailand or illegally Dubai) and possibly where no one can identify them. If it was simply about reducing demand set a high minimum price. When a buyer is caught paying less than minimum price, fine them. It's obviously about something else.

When I was thinking about this problem a couple of years ago (eek, time flies!) I came to the conclusion that the only archival approach that was viable for this was to have a dedicated url resolver service that was independent of the DNS system and could be swapped out.

Obviously you wind up with resolver resolver resolver services if this goes on for too long, but it is one of the few workarounds for the fact that time (and many other things) are not reified in the DNS system.
I'm absolutely sure they've thought of this, but I do wonder why they don't just divert the rivers around it and mine the entire place like an open-pit mine. Cart the square km or two of material off to some processing location and be done with it. It'd likely cost less than what's been spent already.

Again, I'm sure this has been thought of and rejected for a good reason. Still, doing it piecemeal doesn't seem to be working.

Sorry but this is a very lazy product.

You are providing almost nothing of value, but a thin layer on top of stripe and you are charging like 5 times more than stripe.

It reads a lot like it's in the patreon, onlyfans space. Which would obviously get blocked due to either being a reseller of their merchant services or by distributing porn.

If you really want to continue you need to build your own pci infra, and be clear about whether you allow high risk industries like work from home prostitutes, both in branding and through acceptable use policies

In general you need to provide a clear product and clear value instead of making a really small product and charging a huge cut of revenue.

Well...that's quite a revisionist history.

The internet was conceived as a DARPA concept of reliable government communications in the face of unreliable transport, among many other research interests. For most of its early existence (through at least the NSFnet incarnation in the US), it was the private preserve of academic, government and military users, along with some of the corporations that supported them and commercial use beyond supporting projects was prohibited (e.g. you couldn't use it for advertising). It was far from a 'Democratic haven'. There were epic flamewars over 'do we let any more commercial content in our private backyard?' and 'why would we let regular people in?'.

However, a pervasive dip in technological literacy...

Right...it's bad we let the proles into utopia. So much for 'democratic havens'.

If you can't get the basic background right, it really damages the credibility of the rest of the screed (which I mostly agree with).

"control access and rate limit"

Isn't that basically what they did with the API changes?
No, you make a single account and subscribe to the communities across whatever servers you want. The exception would be if the server you registered and the server hosting your desired community had become intentionally unfederated/disconnected, but hopefully that doesn’t happen too much. The third-party apps (like Memmy) are making the UX more seamless with subscribing to communities across different servers.
The main difference appears to be random ideological shit. The instances I’ve heard of are Beehaw, Lemmy.world, Lemmy.ml, ShitJustWorks, and ExplodingHeads, and all of them have been involved in defederation because of trolls or fascists or tankies or something

Tbh I’m not sure what the main advantage of federation is if they all have the same subreddits (news, tech, pics, etc). It seems like it just fragments the userbase, I’d get it if each subreddit was one instance

It’s kinda like email. You wouldn’t create an account with Google and expect that login to work anywhere else, would you? But your Gmail email address can send and receive to anyone else from any provider.

As far as which instance to join, well, that’s kinda like email, too. Look at the instances that are out there (the email providers in this example, like Gmail vs Mailfence), see if you like their policies and moderation and community “vibe,” and join the one that suits you.

https://beehaw.org is a big one that I like very much. Not really any memes there, the user base tends more toward the mature and considerate, and overall the level of interaction feels much better than Reddit ever did, post Digg exodus.

Probably increase, because demand for the "silent" sellers will increase.
From my understanding there's a lot of essentially commercial real estate brokers but focusing on selling (leasing) data centers and other industrial locations.

They even directly mention this in the article. Specialized real estate brokers will keep up to date on who is building what in a market. It's hard to hide a data center. They tend to need a shit tons of permits to construct, even if being built out in an existing industrial location. Not a lot of secrets for those paying attention. Hell, most tend to publish lots of attention getting stuff in local papers and trade mags and their own websites. Many are somewhat large-ish chains.

So if you're a data center owner wanting to increase leases you'd hire a broker like just about any other commercial space and they'd use their connections and marketing abilities to sell it to other brokers representing orgs like Dropbox and thousands of others.
Indeed, spot on.

Indians are hired because the wages they ask are much lower. Do you agree that this benefits citizens of Australia too? Australia has a small population, it can not develop a work force with specialised skills.

You start sounding a bit like chatgpt with the “it is I who have the sole power of understanding” and self contradicting arguments. I never mentioned zero sum games or anything of the sort.

> You don't want evidence, you want someone important to say convincing evidence exists.
One is factual and scientific, the other is authoritarian.
There are decades of evidence of sightings and encounters, collected by government and military agencies in multiple countries.

No, I want concrete evidence, not eyewitness testimony from pilots, ‘whistleblowers’ who report secondhand accounts of witnesses, videos, and sensor data. None of those things are concrete evidence of alien spacecraft visiting earth. There certainly are a lot of aerial anomalies, which makes sense as many nation states are flying all kinds of things all over the world and our vision, cameras and sensors are all fallible.

> It's nonsense to claim no evidence of anomalies exists when that's just not factually correct.

I am saying I don’t believe any of the alleged sightings are real alien spacecraft, not that there aren’t reports of anomalous aircraft.

> Not from "I can't imagine this is happening and it makes me anxious, so I'll just pretend there's nothing real to worry about."

I’m not anxious about aliens existing, I think the discovery of alien life would be the most exciting thing that has happened in human history. I’d be glad to be alive for that, regardless of the outcome. I just don’t think it’s happened yet.

It kinda worked to quickly save items but I have always wanted it to be better at organizing items. Tagging is a hassle and even though it has suggested tags most of the time they are not useful, and also you have to apply them individually!

Lately they added Lists, which I don't know how is different from pinned tags, adding more confusion.

Also I am not really sure, but I think the search functionality don't work reliably.

> I want one account that I can take with me to every forum.

Why do you want that? Why would you want your identity on a functional programming forum to be the same as on a Star Trek fans site and a furries meetup group?
no need to make multiple accounts, who told you that? You need one account and then can contribute to all Lemmy communities on all servers.

The flaw of lemmy's design is that communities reside on a single service, so you will end up with multiple "Science" communities, because in the founding phase several people created such a community of the same name on multiple servers. They should instead have used a hashtag-based approach (granted, problem then is the tight-knit moderation that makes subreddits like AskHistorians so valuable), or implement something like communities subscribing to other communities (like a community-ring) etc.
But "this context" is Twitter's policy and technical changes under Elon Musk.
