> Police then fired 32 rounds into the apartment... Cosgrove fired 16 shots from the doorway area... Hankison fired 10 times from outside through a sliding glass door and bedroom window, both of which were covered by blinds or curtains... The officers' shots hit objects in the living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway, bathroom, and both bedrooms.

This reads an assasination attempt by a drug cartel. Which part of this is 'trained proffeshionals'? Which part is reasonable use of force, or restrain to make sure you don't kill rand9m innocent people nearby?
I'm naive but as far as I know mutual funds are risk-averse and by consequence their profits are lower, if any.
Emails, too. That's how I get snow emergency alerts and bus notifications.

One disadvantage with all these is they're one-way. Twitter had reasonable ways to manage one-to-many conversations that other solutions lack.
> As long as you don’t need to consume feeds, just use atom.

Nah, you should just use Atom.

The only vaguely good reason to use RSS is spotty Atom support in podcast apps.

So, better formulation: only bother with RSS if you're a podcast.
I'm a little surprised at this response, dang. I could understand if I was being hostile to the poster, but my sarcasm was directed at Musk (who they're quoting), whose comment about data pillaging I find highly dubious.

As far as snark, I see several other examples of that—also intended for Musk—in this thread. They don't strike me as either offensive or particularly constructive, so it's not clear to me why my comment was called out here. (Especially considering that there are a few other comments that definitely go beyond the acceptable levels of user-to-user snark as I understand them.)

I can avoid sarcastic comments about billionaires in the future, if that's a problem. If the issue was snark directed at another user, that wasn't my intention.

I'll also say that the "snark" rule you cited, while well-intentioned, seems very broad and selectively applied here.
How many police die on the job vs how many people they kill on the job?
Of course, it's possible. I'm just saying that we can't ignore the fact that Discord and Reddit are completely different mediums. Reddit is more like a series traditional forums, and Discord is more like a traditional AOL chatroom. I don't see any point in internet history where either of those media have lost popularity.
Reddit is Fun is also gone.
This SCOTUS case had heavy emphasis on the fact Affirmative Action as it is practiced at elite institutions today, has a net slightly negative effect on whites, and an extremely large negative effect on Asians applicants. It is in practice, a large transfer of elite diplomas from Asian to Black students. Black people have indeed suffered greatly historically. Yet an awkward question remains: Why are Asians paying the price?
Super interesting, I’ll have to check it out.

I remember seeing him earlier in the conflict, when a Ukrainian soldier was pictured reading his book and later met him: https://old.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/121j5f1/sometime_a...

I suppose the significance is that this is the 10-year anniversary (to the month) of this dystopian meme. While we fortunately haven't gotten to that point of corporate enslavement, it does feel like society has shifted increasingly in that direction since 2013.
Yep. There are virtual tabletops now, but it just feels impossible to have synchronized play. Leisure is wealth.

As gifts go, an heirloom campaign setting is pretty unique. It does feel more possible though than a trust fund.
> The idea that Lula is using his political power to take Bolsonaro out of the game is laughable, IMO.

I doubt Lula is calling up Superior Court justices and telling them what to do-but he doesn’t need to. It is like the 2000 US case of Bush v Gore-all the Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices voted for Bush, all the Democratic-appointed justices voted for Gore. The first outnumbered the second, so Bush won the Presidential election. Neither candidate or party ordered the justices to vote a particular way-they didn’t need to.

The US court system has been corrupted by politicisation. The same appears to be true of Brazil-and Argentina too. Indeed, I wonder if there is any judicial system in the Americas which is free from that disease. (Canada, maybe?)
I wonder what his angle is here. From my understanding, Scale is not well positioned on LLMs (which ultimately may be good, but right now not good for the hype and funding cycle).
To paraphrase Gilmore, “the net interprets [mandatory login and other access fuckery] as censorship and routes around it”

If Twitter locks out more readers, people will stop posting and move elsewhere. If Reddit ejects the mods that made it successful, communities will evolve elsewhere.

The forest will regrow and different paths will form, routing around the dying patches.
College admissions at elite universities, what this SCOTUS case is about, is zero sum.

> Musk — who is no longer CEO of Twitter, but still deeply involved in operations — may also be motivated by a desire to prevent AI tools from searching Twitter.

This seems very unlikely. If they really just wanted to stop just AI tools from searching twitter, it would be very easy to prevent them from doing it at scale by imposing basic rate limiting and device intelligence (or even something like the puzzle LinkedIn makes you solve before viewing someone's profile while not logged in).

I'm very confused as to why they may not want unlogged-in human lurkers who are still seeing and clicking on ads when on the Twitter website.
Its not really for nothing is it? You 'feel good' in exchange for giving money to a poor person. Isn't it the same feeling albeit for a different reason that Coca-Cola is selling?
I love tech connections, and haven’t heard of any of the others. I’ll check some of them out!
Google still manages to show recent tweets. I wonder if twitter lets it through by checking the user agent.
The reason why Chomsky is relevant is because this post is a link to a book by Chomsky...

Pretty sure that price is only for your first year if you sign up with a code/link from one of their creators.

The advertised rates are currently $5/month or $50/year.
Oh sure. Except I also quoted the same person who definitely confirmed that:

> An expansion of NATO beyond Germany's borders was out of the question.

From your own link.

I don’t know what the hell he meant by “not came up for negotation”. Someone could tell me that I will definitely get five hot dogs for lunch and then I can later say that it “never came up for negotation” since I never cared about hot dogs to begin with. (What do I care whether he personally cared about Nato expansion or not? That’s irrelevant!) Dead politicians.

You’re just mincing words (“agreement”) at this point, which I have already addressed.
What happened to vBulletin by Jelsoft? Needs to be open sourced.
I’d imagine most individuals don’t pay for Outlook either. The question you might ask is “will self employed folks or small businesses or medium businesses or large businesses buy my email client vs using Outlook they get for free with their M365 subscription and can call MS for support for?”

That said, on the Mac at least, there are a number of paid email clients that are fairly popular and seem to be sustainable, so maybe there is a market after all. I always figured those apps were more “a native app for Gmail” than for Exchange.
I'm cautiously optimistic about Lemmy. Anyone can spin up an instance, so it's decentralized, but instances are connected, so there's community.

It may still be rough around the edges, but to me it feels like the spirit of the old phpBB forums combined with almost 20 years of lessons learned from Reddit.
We can prevent swatting by every registered living area have video and audio monitors that only government agents can access for good reasons. So then if someone calls a swat on a place, the ones who might respond to the swat can check their backlogs if some bad stuff was happening at that registered location. If nothing bad happen there then maybe it was a swat or at least they consider the invasion more carefully. Registered living locations have to be registered and inspected kind of like vehicle inspections for the common good of society.

EDIT: Maybe at first you are allowed to opt-out of registration if you are weird about privacy but they won't be able to tell so easily if you are getting swatted or not.
Yes, I would be very interested in the denominator of "legit" SWAT raids, specifically limited to only those for which prank calls are a false positive, i.e. real, time-sensitive emergency distress calls, and not prearranged raids where the police have a warrant.
It’s more like a tilt - I use it in conjunction with the regular analog stick movement. Together, it adds an extra degree of control, and gyro is a much more sensitive and precise input than an analog stick.

It takes a little getting used to, and there’s a good number of settings parameters you can dial in to your preference (I generally like higher sensitivity and on all the time), but now I’m able to snipe across the map with a controller in fortnite nearly as well as I used to with a mouse and keyboard in battlefield 4. Playing it on an Xbox feels like using stone tools in comparison.
PhpBB is GPLv2, and it still works just fine. Discourse is also GPL, if you’re looking for a more modern look. There are a number of others too (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_s...)

Reddit, you’ve burned so much goodwill.

I’ve been an enthusiastic user for over 14 years. Now I’m planning to delete my content.

At one point recently, I got excited about applying for an engineering leadership position with you, but this debacle has made me realize your senior leadership is not who I want to be reporting to.
The scores are still being counted in aggregate scores though.
Why can't someone build a twitter just for such purposes?
Option 2. is unstable - if you split users into two camps, "watching ads" and "paying", it so happens that it's the second camp that the advertisers want the most to reach: people with disposable income and willingness to spend it. You can expect significant pressure from the business side to somehow advertise to that second group.

This is, in fact, a point raised by many commenters in the thread - it's very likely that Premium will stop being ad-free once it gains a large enough user base. See also: cable TV, or any other paid-for medium whose initial value proposition was... "we charge you for it, but there are no ads!".

Option 3. - nah, can't imagine it either.

Option 4. - that would be going back to the "good years". I don't think it's possible for YouTube - they'd have to somehow undo or reverse the pressures that got them to the situation today. See also: image hosting service cycle - they start bullshit-free, then they get progressively worse, but it's only when they go past the "nerds block ads, whales pay, suckers get ads" stage - when they disturb that balance - that they die.
I really like lemmy too. I think the biggest issue is that people think of Lemmy itself as the replacement of reddit.com. But what makes more sense to me is thinking about Lemmy as a tool to build separate websites that are each a replacement for reddit.com and that these can interoperate with each other to grow based on the local users interests. I think the biggest hurdle is figuring out where to create your first account... it's just not intuitive and of course the more established sites shut down signups during mass waves as an anti-September protective measure.

I ended up starting at programming.dev because someone on HN mentioned it and it at least seemed to have a focus and also wasn't a ghost town. And that was pretty good but I've also joined beehaw (takes some time) because I like its size and decorum and generically would choose to get on their side of a defederation. And after I'm starting to understand how this whole activity pub and defederation and federation works, I really am optimistic about it.

I think somebody needs to build something that's a crossover between GitHub pages and activitypub that sort of behaves like discus and integrates with Lemmy/kbin/mastodon. So that blog writers can have comments at their own sites again and they can integrate together to grow organically. I haven't quite pieced it all together, but I sort of see that could grow as a replacement for what we lost with Google Reader and the loss of blog commenting communities.
You can talk about the influence of bots and astroturfers...so long as you agree it's all one big conspiracy theory, like all the comments did on my post from yesterday [1], "The Gentleperson's Guide to Forum Spies". [2]

Not the same. You mentioned the ongoing support through the whole trip already. Then there's guidance for the purpose of the experience rather than possibly just getting lost in the feeling/escape. Then there's validated source/safety of the drugs. Finally, if anything goes wrong, you have a person hopefully trained in how to respond immediately.
I remember seeing a documentary way back in 2000 about the internet that said something like "the internet is freely accessible now, but some people believe eventually pay walls will begin to block access to more and more portions of the internet." And I thought how ridiculous, that will never happen, information wants to be free!

Well, looks like I was only partially right. Most access is still "free", but at the cost of enshittification.
Maybe try bluesky

I really appreciate this perspective. It’s important for people to live where they agree to common principles. In the end that’s why you choose to live where you live.

In some sense it cuts both ways. I’m more of the opinion that these areas are allowed to exist to the extent that the market allows them to exist. It’s obviously not desirable to have your neighbor sell of their house to someone who builds a 20 story apartment or something like that. But, if both you, your neighbor, and society as a whole can financially benefit from this fact, why prevent it from happening in a legal sense. Zoning only masks the true value of an area.

It’s strange, however, because I recognize the history of razing historic areas in the hopes of progress (see Paris’ Île de la Cité) and how invasive it is to have your home change because of one person selling out. I love old buildings and often marvel at how quaint and peaceful these areas can be. I don’t want them to be lost and I want future generations to experience the same emotions I feel when looking at these areas.

Ultimately, I think it would be beneficial just to have an idea of how land could be used for purposes other than what it is currently zoned for. Obfuscation of the price of a piece of land due to zoning is, in my opinion, more detrimental than helpful.
> As I read it, the 5-star review systems on Amazon.com and Walmart.com would be categorized as unfair under this rule

Well, in reality they are.
This is a hysterical take when every interaction with a cop involves interacting with someone who has a gun, but clearly that’s okay…? Because cops are always peaceful and judicious?
Bye, Apollo. I kind of feel like a drug has been taken away from me. It’s is going to take a bit to adjust to not using Reddit on my phone, as I refuse to use their app.
So where is everybody going after reddit?
That’s a false equivalence, actual power is only on one side. I was personally affected by this; I used to watch YouTube regularly until their ever more obnoxious ads put me off for a couple of years. So yeah, my behaviour is the consequence of their abusive behaviour over the years. I did not start this and I am not trying to shame them into compliance.

Now I watch without ads, so sue me. I’d grant them the moral high ground the day they stop tracking me across the internet and put a reasonable amount of ads time before their videos (interrupting a video is a deal breaker, I cannot believe that so many years after TiVo some companies still think it’s a good idea). They want to play whack-a-mole, that’s their right. But then it is my right to control what’s running on my computer. In the end, if they persist to treat me as a nuisance even though I used to be a model consumer before their hostile behaviour put me off, then they’ll lose me for good and I’ll just send some money Nebula’s way. At least they seem to respect their users.
It's a full time job bc your competitors are full time quant traders :)
On an MI250+ system or other similar architectures that mirror what El-Capitan is going to look like, ROCm is stable and there are pytorch + cupy backends for it. It mostly just works. If you have custom kernels as part of your pipeline you'd need to convert them from CUDA to HIP though.

If you're looking for something on AMD consumer cards...then you have to keep waiting.
I would not assume that, no. Following accounts is fundamental to using Twitter; I absolutely think the majority of people using Twitter are logged-in.
Self serve, one one of those trading sites. No human contact, until the site wouldn’t let me trade the shares. I think the exchange changed up things and I am buying from another country so communication issues etc.
So I suppose where you are coming from is that you're using dirty tricks to convince people who don't need a product to buy it. Which is not ideal. But I've seen a lot of software engineers write code that is unreliable and causes their users a lot of suffering. Most people do a bit of harm on the margins because their job is part of messy reality instead of some imaginary pure world.

On average the amount of trickery in advertising will cancel out and decisions still get made based on the quality and usefulness of the products. It is just much easier to sell something useful with sneaky advertising than selling advertising in a vacuum. People not knowing about their options is one of the bigger problems in modern life. There are a lot of things I'd spend money on to change and I'm just not sure how to do it. As far as I can tell that is normal.

"I'd just prefer it be a place that people go to intentionally learn about products and services" - when I see people doing that I'll believe it is an option. Most people sit there until told to do something. Even when doing the thing is in their own interests.
This is a lame post. It was clear what the OP meant: in hot trouble for not doing the job. And technically liable vs. otherwise wasn't even the main point of the post. Assume best intentions and avoid nitpicking. Also the Q&A format comes off as a little condescending.

> Biden must really like this decision. He has never really supported large scale forgiveness and does want repayments to start again.

Yes, that’s why he immediately launched the process to redo debt relief this time under HEA rather than HEROES authority before the ink was dry on the ruling, just announced a payment on-ramp that reduces the impact of failure to pay after the Congressionally-mandated end of the pause, and has used other regulatory authority to launch a new income-based repayment program which will lead to $0 payments for low-income student loan debtors.
No idea. I don’t know technically what is meant by this.
At this point even "Truth Social" is looking less bad
I'll bet Netflix lost a lot of viewers who were not subscribers though. That might be okay for them, or it might not be. It depends on just how valuable all that mindshare and all those eyeballs are for them above and beyond the subscription costs.
I picked the above scenario because police calls for domestic disputes are incredibly common. This source[0] says they account for 15% to 50% of all police calls. Hundreds of women are murdered with guns by their intimate partners every year[1]. Also domestic violence calls are a big cause of police deaths though definitely not the #1 cause as Joe Biden erroneously claimed[2]. I was aiming to create a somewhat plausible 911 call, though having the wife shot while she was on the 911 call might have been a bit over the top.

> I reject the premise that biodiversity is something we require to successfully live on Earth.

It's too late here, I'm ready to sign off, so I apologize for using chatgpt for the response.

"While it is understandable that you may hold a different perspective, scientific evidence strongly supports the importance of biodiversity for the well-being of our planet and our own survival. Biodiversity ensures the provision of vital ecosystem services such as clean air, water filtration, pollination, and soil fertility. It contributes to the stability and resilience of ecosystems, helping them withstand environmental changes and disturbances.

Biodiversity also offers immense potential for scientific and medical advancements. Many of our medicines and treatments are derived from natural compounds found in plants, animals, and microorganisms. Additionally, diverse ecosystems offer opportunities for economic development through ecotourism and sustainable resource use.

Furthermore, interconnected ecosystems form a complex web of life, where each species has its role and contributes to the overall functioning of the ecosystem. The loss of species and disruption of ecosystems can have cascading effects, impacting food security, water resources, and climate regulation.

Preserving biodiversity is not just about valuing other species; it is about safeguarding the intricate web of life that supports our own existence. By recognizing and respecting the importance of biodiversity, we can strive for a more sustainable and harmonious relationship with the natural world, ensuring a healthier planet for future generations."
