Bluesky is currently better than threads, technically.

The content on Bluesky is lacking, i know it’s because of the invite only system, and that has its advantages and disadvantages but Bluesky is going to run into a problem soon.

They obviously need content and users to stay alive, and the content is lacking. Currently it’s a very niche group of users who have a very distinct culture. They don’t leave much room for differing ideas.

It will be interesting watching this play out. They are positioned in a way that can beat threads, but they need to drop the invite ASAP and manage their onboarding of new users.

That means the culture will inevitably change, I’m not sure I see a way of it staying the same as normal people and more fringe people sign up.

IMO they should prioritize content creators. Engaging content on the platform that’s rich will be a huge leg up when they open up.

Helps too that currently i can’t even post a picture on threads without it crashing. Blue sky is definitely the more delightful sop to use.
The results are consistent with a null finding

This is true.

-that any effect measured is likely due to chance alone.

But this is a stronger statement that is not.

The 95% confidence interval for the hazard ratio was 0.81 to 1.01 which means there is more than a 5% probability that the result was due to chance, but not that it's likely due to chance, which implies "more probable than not". The result is more like: if the measured effect is real, it's small enough that a significantly larger study would be needed to demonstrate it with sufficient confidence.
> should not change its actual meaning

I would tend to agree, which is why I made this suggestion. I think it's much more likely that what was meant is to insert an empty tag, even if that's not how browsers would interpret it.

I am Chinese and lived in China until this year if you want to know. For github, the situation is a little complicated, you can read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/China/comments/v8fv0p/why_is_github.... For Amazon, I mean amazon.com, not amazon.cn. Also amazon.cn's services are declining, almost nothing there.
I ended up using Dropbox Paper, since it came along with my Dropbox subscription, anyway.
But there really needs to be a third path, in between the two you cite. Most Linux distros have been that third path.
Probably not 99%, no. It may be worth noting that macOS doesn't have these issues. The password manager doesn't run as the user, and entries in it have ACLs that restrict which apps can read them. In turn that's enforced by the kernel: apps can't ptrace each other and they can't tamper with each other's files. Browsers, meanwhile, encrypt the cookie store using a key stored in the keychain, so you can't read the user's cookies either.

All this is true without app sandboxing being activated. Apps that are sandboxed get even more protections.

Apple have done the best job of incrementally isolating apps from each other using different levels of sandboxing. Linux and Windows are far behind even with Flatpak. For example, we tell people who use Conveyor (our product for deploying desktop apps [1]) that one of the most secure platforms to do signing on is a Mac laptop, because the signing keys can be protected such that only Conveyor itself can read them. Even if you execute malware, it would trigger a permission prompt if it tried to access the signing keys, and then the process doing the signing is also protected in the same way. To get the same effect on Linux you'd need to set up dedicated UNIX users and the like.

Maybe I should write up a blog post on this stuff. Apple tighten things incrementally with each major release and don't make much noise about it, so I've found a lot of people aren't aware of how advanced their security has actually become.

Tax incentives for property investing are ridiculous in many countries. In Canada, the capital gains on the sale of your primary residence are tax-free. You just have to live there for about a year. People move annually, flipping as they go, to earn a tax free income while someone investing in the stock market is taxed. It makes no sense to me.
The 1972 ban was in the United States. It wasn’t global, and even the Stockholm Convention allows for vector control using DDT. In any case, starting in the 1960s DDT-resistant mosquitos began to emerge, so continued non-targeted spraying likely would’ve become ineffective sometime in the 1980s.
Or unless they’d consider downsizing or renting. House prices going up are generally good for owner-occupants.

If you're one of the 10%, they'll finally read what you wrote instead of skimming it quickly, hitting F6, and selecting the third option.
I've never found the motivation or the desire to watch livestream coding. I had assumed that the value gained versus time investment wouldn't pay off. But then it was in Andreas' Igalia chat[1] that he said that showing the failures and getting stuck was important to portray. And now you're saying that you've (presumably) improved and can even identify similar coding patterns due to your investment. I guess I'm now finally convinced it's a good investment.

There are too many variables involved that could also play an influencing role.
Without immigration France does not have a healthy demography. As much as I am against exploitative forms of immigration, France has strong Unions and Strikes are their national past time. Not an expert in French economy, but a first hand look is their major corporations are luxury brands but the rest of the economy is a meh! Airbus is a collab with other EU countries and perhaps Dassault and a strong defense sector. I would be surprised if French economic pie is not dominated by government and its private sector is rather limited.
It seems to me that you recognize one kind of cruelty but not another, forcing innocent bystanders to have their education heavily disrupted.

Tokyo meets all of your listed criteria (though prohibiting on-street car storage is a big part of that) and they’ve been able to keep prices reasonable by allowing supply to meet demand. I think a lot of urbanists want American cities to grow in that direction: way more housing, huge transit investments, less subsidy for driving.
It is not correct to say that Copilot knows only about the current file. If I remember correctly, it tracks the last 50 opened files.

In practice, especially with daily use over time, you can see it suggest code, functions, and variables from files quite "far away" in your repo. It's actually tremendously helpful when it suggests exactly what I was about to write anyway.
It's surreal that even when it comes to AI we still fundamentally rely on underpaid labor.

I agree that the usability research should be transparent and data-driven. As a statistician, I'd rather have something I can actually critique instead of "we just didn't think it was user-friendly."
Oof.

When young people are clearly lashing out because they are seeing a disconnect between their needs as citizens and the tools the establishment has to satisfy those needs, coming across as woefully out of touch is the last thing the leadership should be doing.

Good luck France.

FPS are mass shooting training simulators. Full stop.

Does everyone who plays FPS become a mass shooter? Obviously not. But find me a school shooter who didn’t obsessively play FPS. It’s nearly impossible.
did you at least do some vetting on this one instead of just grabbing the first google search result or are you going to rely on others to point out it's flaws and then just post another link to another bad article in response with no comment on what vetting you did since you didn't?

Point is, this is not a vacuum. It's just not getting a lot of attention due to the points above.

I believe (and am biased, see profile) that climate and housing crises combined will bring a lot more attention to contech/proptech/climatetech in the coming months and years.
This feature has resolved the problem for our team.
Curious that you say that, because I remember recently reading that women on average are unwilling to "date down" in terms of higher education levels, while it's not really a factor for men.
Presumably the equilibrium state is that we will have fewer public schools and more charter schools, rather than a bunch of half-occupied public schools.
If I'm reading their experiment correctly, they're only targeting employees behind the counter in public buildings. I'd be curious to know whether that influences the results at all.

Clearly there's a cultural element to dishonesty but I'd guess that poorer less equal countries are going to do worse vs richer more equal ones.

I think this is reasonable. Why should I be able to vote on the policies of, say, Palo Alto, when I live in Cambridge, MA? Same is true in the other direction, of course.
You know you can just look this stuff up, right? The major urban transport systems publish data on this; it's how they decide which routes to cut and which to beef up.
I think we mostly agree with each other. As I said, there’s many exceptions.

I’ve mostly worked with Python and JVM languages, which probably explains why I’m less passionate about the counter-argument than you are. Ecosystem definitely matters a lot. VanillaJS is the only good JS framework IMO.
I accidentally left my wallet in a taxi on the way from Madrid airport into central Madrid. The taxi driver actually called me and came back a couple hours later. (I gave her 100 Euros that she could have simply taken).

Unfortunately, the next day the same wallet was snatched out of my pocket in the Plaza Mayor, and I didn't realize it until I reached to pay for a meal. Talk about variance.
I have to ask which way, because China and Poland have roughly the same population densities but are on other ends of the scale.

Even top public test high schools like Stuyvesant in NYC have an attitude towards their students as if it is daycare. Just look how they acted when teachers were calling out sick en masse during Omicron. They cancelled many classes but forced all students to come in anyway and sit in a cramped gymnasium "study hall".

I'd agree that for these students HS shouldn't be a daycare, but that doesn't mean it isn't the prevailing attitude amongst current administrators. Piling on a bunch of extra memorization work doesn't mean they're treating students as independent thinkers.
The detailed proposal is pretty comprehensive. I'm confident that if Fedora does go through with this then it will be well designed.

A few years ago Ars Technica had a site redesign. When it first came out, it didn't have a dark mode, and the comments on the article announcing the change (after the design had been rolled out) were full of people who were upset with the lack of dark mode. Turns out, many of the subscribers and power users that used dark mode had adblock and the like that blocked metrics collection, leading the Ars web designers with the impression that basically nobody used it. Since then I've opted in to telemetry in programs I trust to be good stewards of that data so that I can at least do a little to ensure that whatever weird setup I might be using, like dark mode, is seen as relevant to the project.

But that does bring up the point that just relying on telemetry doesn't always present an accurate picture of what's going on with all of your users. Probably the best way to see what your users are doing would be a combination of telemetry (to see what the average user is doing), surveys (to see what the enthusiastic user who self-selects into completing the survey is doing), and user studies (for specific design decisions). I'd like to see what Fedora's policy for data collection in the last two categories is and if they'll integrate all of it together for more comprehensive decisions.

Also, I'm not surprised by the instinctive reactions that people have to the word "telemetry" in the headline, but the proposal is really well done. It addresses many of the complaints I see in these comments, like if it should be opt-in or opt-out, if it's legal under GDPR ("Fedora Legal has determined that if we collect any personally-identifiable data, the entire metrics system must be opt-in. Since we are only interested in opt-out metrics due to the low value of opt-in metrics, we must accordingly never collect any personally-identifiable data."), and the like. I think that this proposal was done by a person or team that genuinely sat down and thought through what a real privacy preserving telemetry implementation would look like, rather than the typical corporate claim "it's totally privacy preserving (also our product is not available in the EU)!!!"
That's pretty disingenuous. Are we supposed to pretend that IBM bought redhat to do exactly nothing with it? It's not exactly far fetched to assume that redhat's owners influence redhat. We can't prove that every decision is directly coming from IBM but the point is moot. Redhat is IBM.
>then it's because that person has decided she doesn't want to afford it

That is VERY flawed logic that suggests a very privileged life. Growing up my family was downright poor to the point we sometimes lost electricity because we had to buy bologna and bread for supper instead. We used an ancient PC that was given to us to access the internet which was 10$/month for dialup, but even that sometimes got cut out, again, because we needed food. Having spent most of my childhood in a trailer park with disparaged people, it often comes down to a mix of tough situations, bad luck, and poor life choices. Should we really punish them for it by locking things behind a paywall? I don't think so. Also should we have our privacy be violated to support the poor? Also no.

This is why I am trying to brainstorm a third option...one that isn't classist but still allows for privacy. Its a tough question and I am having trouble coming up with solutions...but a third option HAS to exist somewhere.

As for your point about classism not being applied to the devices themselves, that is because you could fall out of a tree and hit five cell phones on your way down. If you know pretty much anyone, they probably have a spare old phone they haven't touched in years they can let you have if you can't afford your own. People also throw them out all the time so you can get one out of the trash and it will still be plenty useable. With public WiFi, no matter how poor you are you can still access the internet. Its a weird time where even the homeless can access Facebook without even having to pay for a device

> And this is where TikTok comes into play. Scott Galloway makes the argument that China is using TikTok to push a lot of this negative content into America with the effort to cause instability. They are also only pushing highly positive content inside China to bolster "healthy" social interaction. I'm not sure I can say this is 100% truthful, but anecdotally it seems correct.

Lmao, TikTok is the most censored social media in the West. Creators frequently need to use ridiculous synonym like unalive instead of death (wtf!). If I recall correctly even Vox censored the word suicide when similar video uploaded to Youtube isn't censored.
Without these incentives housing supply would be even lower. The incentives are designed to encourage the creation of additional housing units. Without liquidity in the space new housing creation would stagnate.

For a similar idea from another culture, see the ancient definitions of karma:

Now as a man is like this or like that,
according as he acts and according as he behaves, so will he be;
a man of good acts will become good, a man of bad acts, bad;
he becomes pure by pure deeds, bad by bad deeds;

And here they say that a person consists of desires,
and as is his desire, so is his will;
and as is his will, so is his deed;
and whatever deed he does, that he will reap.

Even with modern plumbing, wiring, tiling substrates, etc., bathrooms are an utter pain in the arse. You’ve got utilities going all over the place, multiple drainage points, tiling, underfloor heating, studs to position so things like shelves, heated towel rails and all the rest end up where you want them, ventilation, and on it goes - and all of it has to happen sequentially, often a bit of this, then a bit of that, and then back to the first thing again. Having done several bathrooms, top to tail, I would gladly just buy one off the shelf if it were good.

I think there’s a massive opportunity in modular bathrooms. I’ve seen them done amazingly badly (think: the plastic cube badly perched in a corner of your Victorian seaside hotel, in which you have to crouch under the shower, while it hoses down the toilet paper), I’ve seen them done so well you wouldn’t have a clue you were in a room delivered in a box. The latter, I’ve only seen in Latvia, by a Latvian company - but I think the concept has legs.

Would zoning not just be another thing that when filtered through our Gilded Age II corruption will lead to an unfair market?

If I was a big developer in cahoots with a local government, wouldn't I seek to influence zoning laws to impede my competitors and harm consumers by inflating prices?

This feels like another one of those things that looks inherently bad until you realize with governance and a culture of anti corruption, it might actually work great.
I've seen a handful people close to me go from 100lb+ overweight to a more comfortable 10 to 20 (or 50). And I think what GP described is a fundamental change to the relationship with food: You're (consciously at first) changing the definition of what needs to be consumed vs what is being consumed without need. They've all from what I've observed gone through this change.

They said that when you're really big, the first 10 lbs is the easiest to lose, and can come from taking stairs and changing snack habits. It's the last 10 lbs that requires the diligent workouts and very strict diets.
For sure. For the first decade of Twitter's operation, it was truly mind-boggling how clueless Dorsey was. Towards the end of his tenure, he was funding so many batshit ideas that he may have surpassed Elon's trajectory if given the chance.

Elon deserves credit for trying to fix stuff. Then he deserves to watch that credit get chastised away for his consummate failure as CEO of Twitter. Preeminent technical failures be damned, his involvement in Twitter at all is a mistake and his continued involvement is only making things worse. As a non-Twitter user I don't have much emotionally invested in the platform, but it's obvious that he's (somehow) a worse steward than Dorsey was. If only for the simple fact that Musk thought Twitter could survive without a ground-up rewrite and Dorsey disagreed.
This is my experience as well. Almost anything that the chatbots do competently shouldn't require more than a form on their site with a few questions and often did in the past.
Agreed, and to the parent comment's point, I believe the studies that prove this have already been done, it's just that they study the material effects of poverty in america, so they're more specific than 'poverty'

Kids with untreated medical problems struggle to focus in school.

Kids with absent parents (like a parent that tries to work multiple jobs) struggle in school

Kids with parents in unstable relationships (poverty screws up relationships and forces people into suboptimal relationships to combine resources) do poorly in school and are more susceptible to abuse

Kids that are the victim of abuse struggle to focus in school.
