Why was there such a heavy handed approach to moderation in the first place though? Why not let the community ask the same question over and over again, and let the answers naturally shift with the time?

I'm just not sure what value there was to have a team of people volunteer their time to making sure there were absolutely zero duplicated questions/answers? What problem is that solving? If anything, it is adding problems by not letting the content naturally evolve in time.

If people want to assess the quality of answers, it's better to have multiple data points, and SO could have invested those resources in algorithmically linking similar questions and making it easy to navigate by both answer reputation and time.

Along similarly lines, it seems best to tackle the people trying to game the system algorithmically as well - if content is word for word duplicate, that's a problem which can be solved by computers instead of people (similar text is a solved problem).

It seems the only use case for moderators on SO is for removing truly inappropriate content - it's wild to me that moderators were spending significant amounts of time actually removing technical questions and answers.

It reminds me a bit of reddit moderation, where reddit communities enforce these non-sensical rules and by extension require hugely heavy handed moderation to 'curate' their communities. Like, the headphones subreddit disallows pictures of headphones in boxes. Why? If the community is interested in headphones, what's the difference if it's a box or not? It's not like if you take it out of the box the headphones look different than any picture you can find on the internet.

Seems like many of the problems of moderation are artificial rules endlessly being enforced by real people which ends up just being pseudo 'make busy' work.

Chrome is made by a company whose main business is selling ads ...

Mozilla has long shown support for ad blockers for example, uBlock origin was the first extension aupported on mobile, Mozilla has no plans to drop the blocking WebRequest API, largely because it is needed for sophisticated ad blockers like uBlock origin, etc.

I don't agree with everything Mozilla has done, but I still think Firefox is better than the alternatives.
This is untrue. OpenBSD pushes to release as early as possible, but if they're on an embargo, they've respected it.

The "X" trademark owned by Meta belongs to Mixer, a game streaming site formerly run by Microsoft, which was shut down in 2017, but its operations were taken over by Facebook Gaming. The "X" trademark of Mixer was also given to Meta at that time.

Definitely it can feel like restaurants are taking the piss charging the same for a vego main despite much much cheaper ingredients being used.

My partner used to have the same complaints about vego food! The right recipes can be just as filling (a lot you come across incidentally may be designed to be “healthy” and therefore lower calorie). If you’re interested, “Flavour” by Yotam Ottolenghi is full of really excellent vegetarian food which is filling and isn’t very demanding on your cooking skills. But unavoidably, it does take more time to make a passable meal than a meat dish.

>I'm having trouble squaring this data showing US emissions going down with the ever increasing consumption I see all around me in everyday life.

You're assuming that individual consumption is the primary source of emissions, instead of relatively invisible-to-the-consumer industrial processes. Which is understandable, because BP, Exxon etc have all poured billions of dollars into creating that misconception, into convincing everyone that to solve climate change, the average consumer must research how much coal was burned to produce that Twix before they buy it.

In practice, the carbon emissions of any particular good can vary wildly, and are quite opaque (by design, as no corporation wants to advertise their shortcomings in support of a "buy less stuff!" movement).

Not an academic here, but I've read (and continue to read) through research papers regularly.

The original bitcoin paper is a great example. I was able to follow the paper almost fully at my first read itself—despite my not having a formal background in maths.

...and as you said, many of the insubstantial papers hide behind jargon and unnecessarily complex equations, just to camouflage their lack of substance. It's frustrating to spend time deciphering a paper, only to realize that you've essentially wasted that time.
Thank you! I will spend it, not all at once, on something wonderful! :)

Minor correction: influential good parents. good is the important thing here otherwise there’s more suffering than opportunities, which only hampers not supports. Not to wish poverty, but there can be goodness and even less suffering in relative poverty. It all comes down to how good people choose to be.

I know we're not allowed to talk about neuroscience in AI threads, but the "megalodon" reference got me thinking about pyramidal cells in the brain. I mean, why are they so big? Maybe this isn't a problem, maybe it's an external bit of evidence that, no, really, some things matter a lot more. Which definitely jives with lived experience.
Zenbleed's impact is due to userspace (including library) use of AVX registers. Glibc is part of userspace. OpenBSD libc is not glibc. It's a valid difference.

I don't think this is an example of foresight / good design choice, though. They just got lucky that no one cared enough to do performance optimization on their libc string functions.
That's irrelevant, because the pressure at the water surface is ~1 atm regardless of its depth below sea level.

Yes, Wired was originally pretty libertarian, but that was a long time ago. I don’t know what it’s like now.

As for what’s mainstream American, people disagree. Historically, we’re a pretty unruly people. Still are, sometimes. But here is the Fourth Amendment:

(Emphasis added.) You can argue about whether that should also apply to secure online communications, but the idea that there are compromises between state power and individual rights is pretty fundamental to US law.

Astro is akin to other “meta-frameworks” with SSR/SSG like Next/Nuxt/etc, but it’s client-framework agnostic so its meta-ness is too. What primarily sets it apart is that it’s designed to ship just HTML/CSS by default, with any client side JS being opt-in where a client component is invoked (termed “islands”), and those components being authored in any client component library of your choosing (if an adapter for it exists, and many do). Or even vanilla JS, but then Astro is more akin to Jekyll or other similar SSGs.

It's not a "might happen." ISPs, especially in places like hotels and other public WiFi spots, were replacing ads on sites with their own ads. I don't know if they did anything more nefarious but they were probably also snooping and logging to at least some degree.
Ask HN: Salesforce Integration – Death by Paper Cuts or Overhyped Challenge?
Few months ago, I was integrating Zendesk, Intercom, Salesforce... customer service API to a platform. I encountered a complex integration challenge while syncing customer service data with Salesforce. The issues included:

1. Difficulty in deciphering customer service from 40 different API documentations.
2. Salesforce's numerous unique data fields, hindering the creation of a generic integration solution.
3. Each customer's unique field configurations necessitated the creation of a unified schema, requiring intense data analysis and meticulous mapping.

This process was time-consuming, spanning three weeks, and it wasn't a one-off setup. Every new customer onboarding necessitated at least a day to comprehend their custom fields and align the data with the unified schema.

I've come across some unified API products which aim to address this issue, but they seem to only scratch the surface, providing a unified API at a superficial level.

We're trying to build Poozle that could potentially offer a deeper, more effective resolution.

I'd love to hear your experiences with similar integration complexities. Have you found a comprehensive solution that truly addresses this challenge?
Not really unexpected is it
VsCode is basically Javascript-Emacs but people really react with something between bother and disgust to that comparison. The extensibility on top of a very generic core has even encouraged a lot of comparable extensions. Like Roam/Org clones that basically function like org-mode or bespoke git clients. VsCode is very quickly becoming a platform for software.

Users will have to remember to use 'x.com' plus the search term or they will get too much craft from every page that uses the letter X as a placeholder/variable though, right?

How does "x dot com" work to prop up the brand in daily communication and will people actually do it?

Because if they don't do both, then none of the content on x dot com matters, right?

Twitter needs nothing extra, no 'dot com' in any fashion, the brand lends itself exceedingly well to verbal and digital uses while consistently establishing and reinforcing the brand.

Really, he tanked most of the brand value if not all of it, it just doesn't "work".

I clicked on the article and it’s about European rail prices.

FWIW, in the USA I thought the rural Amtrak routes are money losers subsidized by the northeast regional passengers. They only continue to run because politicians want them to, so the prices don’t necessarily make business sense or translate to other countries’ systems.
The data has been studied in all kinds of outlets. When they reported that the top 1% are 200% likelier to be admitted my reaction was only 200%?! Then I read closer and realized that this is after accounting for academic performance, extra curriculars, class rank, etc.

Apparently the top 1% make up 14% of Ivy League undergraduates [1]. This doest directly translate into 1,300% more likely to be admitted (wealthier people are more likely to apply) but at a glance it would seem that the very rich are advantaged in college decisions mostly because they've got strong academics, test scores, extracurriculars, etc.

> who's this piece really for then?

Investors, for one. Sovereign parliaments are risky structures. Particularly when underpinned by a majoritarian and religious-fundamentalist base.

Israel's Supreme Court has issues. The FT has covered them well. (Imagine if SCOTUS justices chose not only their replacements, but staffed the federal courts.) But this--ramming through a neutering of the court--is obviously a crap solution, one that's been derided by powerful voices within Israel and without.

Within Israel, the issue is hopelessly polarized. Outside, opinions are still being formed. Having an honest if biased opinion adds information to that discussion, even if it won't change minds domestically.

Note that the FT does this frequently. It's how they keep their articles short. You're expected to click through to prior articles that flesh out the context from a neutral position if you're coming to the field anew.

For me mindfulness is about being present and aware of myself (including my sensations, thoughts etc.) and my surroundings (arguably the same thing as myself, since we are the ones perceiving) in the present moment.

I genuinely don't go beyond that. Otherwise it overcomplicates itself, which is also when you then to lose it in the long term.

Being aware is the action. It's not a particularly complicated thing, in 99% of contexts it's about looking at things through a curious lens. Paying attention. Observing, without judging.

From an implementation point of view, I evaluate myself based on how mindful I managed to be during specific moments/activities during the day i.e. brushing my teeth, working etc.

I think where a lot of people go wrong is that they continue to evaluate their day based on what they achieved or what goals were met. That's one of the quickest ways to dissolve mindfulness and forget about it entirely.
> A factory pumping 1000000 units in China looks great per-capita.

A country with a relatively small population and little heavy industry looks great in absolute figures.

> we have no control over it and there's nothing citizens can do to reduce our footprint.

Didn't know Canada had entirely electrified transport.

> Canada does far far more than its fair share

The fair share is net negative carbon emissions for every country and an increasing amount of wilderness across all biomes. A group of polities which are the greatest environmental vandals in all human history is an incredibly low bar against which to measure achievement.

Decarbonising the economy requires investment. Canada is one of the richest nations in the world.

My main issue, with the main Stack Overflow site (rather than some of the other stack sites), is that I don't get answers to my questions, possibly because no-one knows the answer. If they did, then it's probably been asked before, and since I always look first, I've found the answer to the question that was asked, and so don't eve pose the question, though I might contribute to the answer I found in some way.
no, that is the point of the paper, even with infinite computing power you could not predict. it is a very strong case against reductionism in science. The phenomenological examples he considers in the paper cannot be derived from basic principles of quantum mechanics.
Uh..yes. But that's not the goal of a slip. You're describing the first flight lesson for every pilot. And it's true, but not relevant for the discussion of a slip. The goal of a slip is to quickly lose altitude without changing airspeed. If you need to quickly slow down, chop and drop and pitch up.
> I'm just saying that almost no one advocates for the 2nd amendment right to a bazooka

This isn't necessarily true. To believe that the 2nd amendment allows the right to carry a concealed weapon basically anywhere sort of requires one to believe every citizen has the right to carry any weapon. The amendment is meant to indicate that congress simply can't regulate whether citizens choose to own and carry around weapons, and what sort of weapons those might be. If the weapon could be considered an "arm," it can't be regulated.

This is one of the obvious modern flaws with the USA constitution and why the 2nd amendment should be abolished before any reasonable gun control can happen in the USA. Kavanaugh and other justices right now seem to think that there are "of course" conditions and restrictions that should be allowed, like not carrying guns into "sensitive places" or not allowing felons to have guns, but a future justice can simply disagree, and that's that.

Also, many people in the USA believe they should be allowed to have a bazooka.

I've been tracking my financial expenses, incomes, debts and deposits ever since my graduation and start my first job. I've tried saving pdfs of my credit card bills, using beancount (a great tool, text-based, local web UI), developing my own python and in-house text format. I even learnt a bit bookkeeping. Now I'm using Excel and I'm happy with it.

I really don't need your app to gain everything it markets itself with. I either already have it or know how to implement it and it's not hard. But still, if an app could ease my workload and provide a mood-easing beautiful UI and animation, what's the point refusing it ?

My point is, I liked your app and I'm willing to use it only if
1. it's not expensive
2. it does not come with a subscription plan (I hate subscription billing)
3. it's available in any future once my payment is done.

> Now the SC has to actually show which of the basic laws the proposed law contradicts

There is no transition period. I agree that the clause is too subjective. But there is a lot of law resting on it, law regarding matters like corruption and the rights of minorities that are about to be swept away by this unilateral change. That's de-stabilising in a self-reinforcing way.
You can only trademark the use of that letter in a specific context - you can't blanket stop people from using an 'X' or even calling themselves 'X' - so long as there's no brand confusion. As mentioned in a different post there's Delta Airlines, Delta Faucets, Delta Fans and Delta Power Supplies. The Microsoft/Meta trademark happens to be literally the use of 'X' as a brand in the social network domain, lol.

Between that and the requirement that they be defended, honestly, I think trademarks are one of the forms of IP that I like the most.
That might be true, but I found it easy 30 years ago to learn how to modify Emacs, but spent 100s of hours trying to learn how to exert a similar level of control over VSCode, and never saw any significant signs I was getting close to my goal.
