Okay I feel bad for those people in Mexico. I don't live in Mexico though. I don't have a stake in what their govt or industry does. It literally just isn't my world and I don't have any stake or power on what goes on there.

Frankly it's suspicious that you had to go to Mexico to get good examples.

> "39 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese in 2020." - it's good to know they're just lazy and indulgent and irresponsible infants and there's no systemic problem whatsoever.

You're making up a straw man if you think I'm attacking children under 5 for not having personal responsibility. But yes, I do blame these cases on bad parenting.
By that logic everything that has any positive externality at all would be legal. The plaintiffs specifically argue that the companies behaved recklessly motivated by profit seeking. They actively misled the public about a negative externality associated with their product. That is basically the same argument that plaintiffs made against tobacco companies. Cigarettes were legal, they brought satisfaction to consumers, but the producers actively misled their customers about negative side effects in a reckless manner.

To me, the benchmarks you linked show that the fastest WASM web frameworks I know (leptos, dioxus, sycamore) are competitive with, or faster than, the JS frameworks most famously associated with speed, like SolidJS and Svelte; and that they are way faster than React.

That doesn't support your statement here, so I was wondering what takeaway you meant to direct our attention to when providing that link.

As a fan if Fantasy, this article reminds me of Lev Grossman's The Magicians. It comes from very similar experiences the author had going to an Ivy League school. It is probably the best deconstruction of the magical school (think Harry Potter) subgenre because it touches on such real human experiences.

Most of the cast are people who did well in high school and were suddenly transported into an environment where they weren't special. It turns out being transported into a magical world doesn't make your problems go away.

I'm not sure I agree with this view.
If the NIH or DoD, etc serves data over FTP, they can certainly also serve it via IPFS. It would be much better for them to do so. Then, if anyone pulls that data (even if it's only a small dataset, say 2 TB, to their house or lab) it is now more available (since now NIH and other labs are sharing it). I would imagine that the data centers serving these files would be happy to reduce the bandwidth they have to serve by allow other labs to help out as well.

It only adds. I don't understand how it subtracts.
During my 3 years as a backend developer at my current job I've seen a lot of application of "serverless" stuff from AWS, and I've also used quite a lot of those services myself.

Personally I would never use something like Lambda for compute, unless it's something that needs to integrate between another AWS service and something else (likely also a service.)

Also it seems like the "serverless" hype started (atleast at my employer), because some higher ups didn't trust the developers in my department, when they first had an AWS account provisioned.

My general feeling about picking the right tool to solve a problem is to, firstly, pick the problem apart. Then you can evaluate technologies that can solve your problem. This includes code that you already own and it should most likely be this one that you pick. After that you can start to look at other technologies to bring in.

Arguably it's nice that with AWS you can spin something up relatively quickly, however sometimes I'm also stumped by their limitations and what workarounds that seems to pop up as a result of that.
I'd love stats on that. I never had a machine slowdown because of it.
Yes, the fact that Rush seemed to have designed the company to avoid liability with US alone is worth the read.
I don’t disagree with you, but I also don’t believe allowing or continuing to normalize deception of the general public is an acceptable status quo.

Congress and the public may decide what level of non-renewable energy sources is acceptable to them. But they should not need to do so while being burdened by deliberate campaigns to misinform them or muddy the waters.
No it’s not. Pollution lands into a distribution of doing nothing or giving people cancer or serious diseases that absolutely do get counted.
you can’t definitively prove or disprove that. What you can prove is that oil companies actively deceived consumers about negative externalities associated with their product.
This looks like you can write a Go app that can run WASM plugins. Very handy.
Sigh. Journalists who discuss a lawsuit without linking to the actual lawsuit in question...

The lawsuit appears to be available at https://multco-web7-psh-files-usw2.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.co.... Heading straight for end and looking at the causes of action:

1. Intentional and negligent creation of public nuisance. The nuisance appears to be extreme climate events, and I'm doubtful that you could actually show sufficient action on the part of the oil companies to link them to the extreme climate events (the standard is probably that you need to show that but for the actions of the companies, those events wouldn't have happened and... yeah, that kind of direct attribution isn't possible).

2. Negligence. I mean, this section is a mere page long, and doesn't go into any detail whatsoever, so it's hard to even figure out what is the supposed duty that wasn't done. So... almost certainly going to die on a motion for dismissal.

3. Fraud and deceit, in that they covered up the effects of climate change. Except that's not fraud--fraud requires that someone be reliant on the lie to do something. So you'd need to show that, e.g., someone only bought a tank from gas from Exxon because Exxon said climate change didn't exist. I suppose it's possible that's true--there's millions of people in the country after all--but... that's not really something that happens (least of all, anything actually alleged in the complaint, so far as I can thing).

4. Trespass. Wildfires caused by climate change constituted trespass. Cute legal theory, but cute legal theories are almost always tossed out of court quickly.

So out of four claims, three of them are dead on arrival, and the first one has an uphill fight. And even if they win, the $50 billion for "abate the nuisance" definitely isn't going to happen, and you're looking more at the actual damages which is apparently around $50 million.
Obviously the angle the GP is talking about is that you’re so smart and talented that most work feels like child’s play and hence isn’t work
With the current Twitter debacle, I think self-hosting my "notes about interesting things" (aka tweets) in a way it is accessible via the web, activitypub, bluesky and RSS might be the best way.

Is anybody already doing this? It shouldn't too be hard. Just throw all the notes into a directory and add some code which replies to the different types of requests.

I guess the best way to get ones tweets out of Twitter is the "Download an archive of your data" thingy in the settings?
> The two remaining sites that allow regular people to post and have discussions are being wiped off the internet in time for the next election. By the next US presidential election, there won't be ways to access information that don't go through the "wrong" people first. Hacker News is all that's left, and it's not big enough to be significant.

The 2028 election is more worrying IMO, especially since it seems like Musk is angling to run for president and doesn't seem to mind running despite not legally being able to hold the office. It feels like he views kowtowing to the MAGA crowd and controlling large media platform(s) as essential to that plan.
Honestly it's like there's an entire position to the argument that just does not recognize the agency of people.

They weren't people who decided to attack or harass others - THEY WERE BRAINWASHED.

If anything bad happens, it's the 10 billionaires at the top who poisoned them, every other human is a saint would never think to attack or harass anyone on their own accord.
A lot of advertisers left Twitter one after another after each change by musk. Especially his change to allow hate speech (because free speech!) led to an exodus.

Now there are only very low-quality ads by drop-shipping companies left. I bet they don‘t pay as much as the big brand names before.
Ah, but do you ascribe blame to the fuel producers? Or the fuel burners? As a liquid it's not a problem. Burning it is the problem. Therefore should it not be the burners who are responsible?

Perhaps the county should just ban the burning of fool fuels. If its causing do many local deaths then surely that's the logical first step? Or would that just be political suicide?

I'm not sure what to make of this actual submission;

> A problem with the system of having a domain as a username is that people can claim it who don’t have access to that username.

That was a bug, and is not generally speaking, the case. You must have the ability to alter the DNS records for the domain you wish to claim.

> However, that means interactions, such as user likes, blocks, follows, etc are all public. With no means to make them private. Which could lead to harassment!

It could also lead to the enlightenment of man, if we're just making random claims without explaining ourselves...

> But runs into the problem of algorithms being hijacked to show inappropriate/offensive/bigoted content.

Posts on the AT Proto can be labeled by whatever labeling service you prefer, including Bluesky itself. You can then use your preferred labeling to filter out labels you don't want, or subscribe to a feed that does that for you.

> But also it’s a group of overly complicated specifications that could’ve just been extensions to the ActivityPub protocol rather than a whole new protocol!

I don't think, "AT Proto is too complex, use ActivityPub instead" is a reasonable claim at all. The problem is a complex one, and AT Proto in particular is not even out yet.

Honestly, I can barely understand this "article". It's just a bunch of oversimplified (and sometimes outright wrong) statements about what AT Proto is, coupled with painfully misunderstood declarations that border on the illegible.
iodéOS workd fine as well.

It's based on a LineageOS, but they already have added all the apps and services to use it seamlessly.
Another observation: While skimming over the blog post and Twitter being down(ed) and somewhat itself self-sabotaged, I also followed the mentioned links in the article.

The whole experience felt so pre-social media era. Blog posts link to other blog posts which they regards as valuable and drive a discussion without ads and distraction.

It feels very early 2000th like and I enjoyed it. I still miss technorati. :)
Investors do whatever is optimal for them. The duty of the market regulators is to ensure an even playing field, so that the investors are not deceived about the profitability of businesses.

Thankfully the US has a lot of say in the global oil supply and demand market. We already have rules & taxes in place for all the producers and importers of oil in the US (aka they need to buy certificates for blending renewable fuels mostly from US produced corn).

So yes, it is feasible, it is done already.

In my experience with my interns, many of whom graduated from Harvard like me, some students at all universities suffer from burnout from their strenuous childhoods. So I sympathize that some kids need to chill a little. I wouldn’t call it self sabotage, but I understand the author is just trying to understand their classmates better.

I’m not sure if a cry for help / agitating at the university will matter. I’m not sure it’s so easy to blame parents either.

Lowell, Palo Alto, Amador Valley, Mission Viejo and Lynbrook are so ridiculously stressful. And that’s just in the Bay Area in California. Some parents from here send their kids to Exeter and Andover, which also really work the kids to the bone. Is Nightengale Bamford “easy?” Dalton and Trinity? Ultimately as long as there are so few spots for so many kids with genuine cognitive gifts, parents, students and teachers will deem insane competition in high schools rational. And that will manifest in mental health issues - ranging from quirks to crises - later in life.

Their net margin over the last year was 0.82%.

There has been countless books discussing what causes this behaviour at length. The author is right, but runs a lot deeper than that obviously.

Michael Sandel in his recent book[^1] called "The Tyranny of Merit" analyses the problem at length. It's a worthy read on a variety of topics around "merit" in our society, etc. Michael Sandel is a teacher of political philosophy at Harvard and one of the most well known philosophers of our time.

Another book called "The Danish Way of Parenting"[^2] explains how to raise kids that are: (a) self-starters in the sense that they don't rely on others for goal-setting and (b) coping in a healthy and constructive way with failure.

How can someone raise a child that will have to compete against the global young intellectual elite? Private tutors are common in London, amongst those who can afford them. They fly tutors for 160 BGP/hour alongside the family to Santorini for a week or two[^3]. Imagine having to compete with these ppl for a spot to an Ivy League college. Quoting from the respective Economist[^3] article:

> Tutoring has risen in line with a cultural shift: university education is now the norm for a larger share of school-leavers than ever before. Close to half of all 25- to 34-year-olds in the 37 wealthy countries that make up the OECD now have a degree. Other countries are fast catching up: by 2030 China and India will account for half of the 300m graduates in this age group worldwide.

> Widening access has changed the nature of the competition. Despite the large rise in the number of universities, the same institutions tend to fill the top places in the international rankings. This means that education is now a global battle: far more people in a wider range of countries are competing for slots in the same few, elite institutions. Twenty years ago, America’s Ivy League universities would admit a quarter or more of all applicants. In 2020 Harvard’s acceptance rate hit a new low of 5%.

If you are not interested in the truth, every theory becomes a weapon to hide it. This is why instead of teaching theories you have to teach the love of truth — coincidentally that is the meaning of the word philosophy.
> A benefit of atproto users is that they are transferable without needing an active server

This is not exactly true, it just means the server that holds ur data (traditionally instance or home server) doesn't need to be involved in the transfer process. However, this has centralized identity resolution, which is not a good long term solution.

> For example, someone was able to get the AWS S3 domain as their handle!

This is easily hotfixable by requiring more stringent proof of ownership of the domain (like DNS records), rather than a problem with the protocol itself. But it's a valid concern

> But runs into the problem of algorithms being hijacked to show inappropriate/offensive/bigoted content.

I thought the whole point was that if you didn't like the algorithm you could swap it out for something simpler. This point puzzles me greatly

> that could’ve just been extensions to the ActivityPub protocol rather than a whole new protocol!

Not really. If you peel back the interface they're very different, since the transferability of accounts across servers is something baked deeply into how ActivityPub works and cannot be easily changed without rewriting the protocol. That being said, I personally hope there is some network that can solve the problem of untying resources from domains, since it is one of the big problems with any federated protocol
Except that in Europe we have multiple report per day about the migrant death, all year long. And the difficulties, and problem arising, and…

There’s no mystery, no doubt, only pain. This sub failing, well, the pain is self induced so it’s hard to feel concerned, and it’s a mystery (not a big one, ok). It’s light news.

So both have their place. They don’t have the same impact, and well, let’s hope both will be solved… faster for the migrant problem though!
Sounds like we really need some top universities, maybe new ones, to increase acceptance 10X or more, back to the level where they’d accept people who would’ve been accepted in 1970 with the same scores.
This articles refers to “100s of channels” and “100+ streams”.

I cant figure out what that refers to. From a user perspective there is only 1 channel (maybe one per region, but that still doesn’t hit 100s)

And for streams I can’t think of any kind of definition of stream that wouldn’t have orders of magnitude larger number associated with it on prime.

For anyone trying to do this math, in the US, you need to reduce the equivalent pay by about 10-15% for self-employment tax if you're 1099. It's more useful to start with 1500 hours a year, as well, if you're truly contracting (not "full time paid as a contractor for one client") since you'll need to find new contracts and that will take up a surprising amount of your time.

I sometimes joke that, when contracting, I spend 80% of my time billing work for client projects and the other 80% (unpaid) getting new projects, leaving me only 80% (unpaid) of my time to spend managing relationships with clients and collaborators, doing taxes, and maintaining the existing business.

> Healthcare providers and health insurers have an aligned perverse incentive to have healthcare cost as much as possible

OK, I can agree with that - but it doesn't change my point that cost reductions need to start with providers, NOT with insurance companies.
I had an employer that believed its pay policy was market-competitive, and therefore did not entertain requests for pay rises without proof that you were not being paid a market rate. In practice, that meant interviewing for another job elsewhere and getting an offer at the higher salary.

I did that, and got my 1.5x offer. My employer dutifully offered to match it, but by that point I liked the idea of the new job better anyway. They panicked and made further offers and desperate manoeuvres to keep me, but it was too late.

I am certain they still have that policy in place.

Isn't RSS better than all other federation protocols?

You have four properties of feeds: category, tree-comment, real-time and persistent.

Reddit was the winner on all those except real-time.

Decentralization is now the most important feature, and taking responsibility of your own data is the best version of that.

The only missing part is decentralized RSS servers and clients. Think backup for your posts and RSS reader services that also backup your favorite feeds.

All you need for that is a distributed db underlying it all like this: http://root.rupy.se and a reader web tool.

The only feature we lack is a category (think hashtag) for RSS.

So a combination of all services below:

http://fuse.rupy.se

http://sprout.rupy.se

http://tentacle.rupy.se

http://talk.binarytask.com

Add mail and video hosting/streaming and you got the complete deal.
