But the electric components are not standardized. You can buy e-systems from Bosch, Yamaha, Shimano, Fazua, Mahle, Stromer, Bafang et cetera and they all have different dimensions, different mounting holes, different communication protocols and different chargers.
If you need a replacement part as a consumer, you have no choice but to buy the same part, which is usually quite costly because of lack of competition.
It's not totally clear what, exactly, you're unhappy about here.

Should the government also not be allowed to use newspapers to transmit information? What's special about using social media as a communication medium?

There have been decisions about /how/ government officials can use social media. Most notably, Trump was not allowed to use Twitter's 'block' feature to silence critics, because of the first amendment.

VidAngel clarified what "distribution" meant in the context of "digital piracy". Receipt is not a qualifying symptom to make you an offender, you need to actively make available for others.

As far as I am aware, in US law, there is no subject code specifically for and simply for possessing/receiving pirated material (unless it's legislated in some other manner: CP, private govt documents, etc). Despite many court attempts to argue that "downloading" is equivalent to "making a copy".

This is why, during the MPAA/RIAA war against p2p, they specifically targeted the fact that all users were mesh sharing files. It's why one user was charged millions for "sharing a file a multitude of times" and another was let off completely free for sharing a minuscule percentage of many downloaded files.
The fact that people get rate-limited and conversations stop mid-track, in the process preventing dissenting opinions from propagating is censorship. All of that is happening not because of Dang and mods, but because it's trivial to use bots and whatnot to push a certain narrative.

I merely pointed at the irony of the situation and said the quiet part out loud, effectively calling the hypocrites out :)
Hello :) I just wanted to let you know that I intend to reach out and say hi to you soon. Your website resonated with me and I think we'll click in our conversation.

I'm travelling for a week come tomorrow, but when I am back in town I'll book something.

Back In The Day, the barrier to entry was low. Most Unix boxes had the "rn" or "trn" newsreaders installed, and VMS also had one (though I don't recall its name). It was as easy to get into as email.
Because Mastodon's home feed doesn't have an algorithm, it really requires more concerted curation to get a good experience.

As I wrote, it can be a bit "disorienting" at first until you find the right people and tags to follow (at least this was my experience).
Twitter doesn't suddenly lose its right to moderate speech on its platform just because the government uses that platform.

I think it does, if that is the only means of communication with them. Meaning they only engage on Twitter/X and let their voicemail boxes fill up. That is why I believe this should be tested in the supreme court.

[Edit] I should also that that with the former federal agents that managed to get planted in Twitter that were colluding with active duty federal agents that puts Twitter and the US government position in control of speech. I have no idea if Elon removed all of those people or not or if it makes a difference at this point. For all intents and purposes regarding speech the federal government has functional control as if they had used eminent domain but without getting approval to do so.

I assume speech on Twitter is highly curated at this point. Curated speech has no place in government communications with its people.
Oh true. Still, if that’s true, I don’t know why the rendering would be whack (which is your point!)
I have both LibraryThing and Goodreads and usually use the latter because the integration with Kindle makes it easier to keep my library updated. There isn't much difference between them if don't use the social features of Goodreads.
Similar to other commenters, I've experienced the opposite: way more interaction on Mastodon than Twitter.

Unsure if you're seeking any advice, but in case you are, I notice that you make sparing to no use of hashtags in your post. Because Mastodon doesn't have a timeline algorithm to boost your posts, you really need to rely on hashtags to get your post seen. Think about hashtags more like one uses them on Tumblr rather than Twitter.

The other (depressing) situation is that newcomers often want to praise someone for their work, not realizing they work in a company whose managers are focused on playing games and forming alliances. In such environments, praising someone can actually work against you. I've heard the finance tech industry tends to suffer from this.

Thankfully this seems rarer than the one you're mentioning, where everyone is happy to build a nice company they want to work for. It's an odd situation, where the natural incentives align to reward the opposite. Is there a way to guard against those?
Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Tiktok are all basically Tiktok now.

Reels, Stories, Shorts etc are all just a doom scroll inducing version of the same content posted across networks.
It still does that.
These are for disaster response the same way rockets are for space exploration.
It's exactly the same in western Europe. American tourists visit here on vacation and think "wow it's really nice here, it's walkable and full of culture" but they don't see there's no opportunities for building generational wealth, as all of it has already been captured by the previous generations so the new generation is stuck in serfdom.

My thoughts exactly. Best one can do is plan for the worst. I bought a property at an altitude high enough so that if sea levels rise won't affect me (I am likely going to stay here that long anyway, but my goal is to develop habits), I de amazoned where possible and gave up habbits alltogether where not possible but can cope without, rain barrels and solar panels on their way and so on, playing around with microgreens, learning about plant seeds (I don't think i'll ever pick up farming but it's a good skill to have).

I’m so fed up of paying for software subscriptions. If I can choose between a single payment and a subscription service, I go for the one-shot every time. I don’t even know how to describe it, but it just nauseates me at this point. I’ve also cancelled Netflix and Amazon Prime is not going to be renewed either. I know it’s irrational but I’ve just been pushed to the brink.
Let me put it another way. If 𝕏 has $6 million to buy another company, why is the company delinquent on hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars in debts, including office space rent, google cloud expenses, Oracle services, AWS, and so on?

I think you're coating your memory with a thick blanket of woke. I was also around in its heyday and the trolls were in full effect, and had already learned how to make women's lives hell.

There's a newsgroup still extant which is named after a woman who spoke up about the CSAM problem on our local university's server (I stumbled across it myself once, there was some nasty fucking shit going through there). The users of these groups did not take kindly to people messing with their access to pictures of children being sexually abused. Not naming her or the newsgroup because I'm sure she's long since gotten it in her rear view mirror.
One quirk I notice about their browser was how it would slow to a craw if too many objects were allocated in JavaScript. I think it was 2^15 objects, at which point performance dropped by at least an order of magnitude. That sounds like a lot of objects but even then web apps were full of libraries calling libraries calling libraries, with each allocating their own baseline of objects.
> An online community should feel like an online pub. It should have a vibe, some regulars, inside jokes, and a decorum that is somewhat well enforced. They're cosy places where a sense of belonging encourages participation and good behaviour.

> HN is like that.

HN is the only place that is not a pub: jokes are frowned upon, and even moderated out. Post Valuable Content, or GTFO. You can joke and feel belonging literally everywhere else, catpost half drunk and high, noone cares really, from the small subreddits and discord servers and fb groups to the big subreddits, discord servers, fb groups.

> But now every social media website became like that one pedestrian street with the H&M and the McDonalds: a generic commercial space built around spending money.

We must have a different internet, every other place I know is full of personality and total unique, people repeat the same sets of inside jokes over and over. HN is way the driest and most soulless.

It will be much easier to be good enough at 2-3 domains... and be considered an expert... at the intersection of them.

I like to say something like "Hey, I realize you put a lot of hard work into X, but I think Y would be more efficient and save us all time in the long run!"

Normally I'd agree with you because that makes sense, but because I'm one of these people, I have a (obviously heavily subjective) different take: Scrum is _so_ vile, that it causes enough pain to warrant endless hatred.

People want it gone, and all the middle-managers along with it.

Not at all. The trick is to force yourself to find something about their approach that you liked. There's almost always something likable.

It's also the trick to being liked in general. Not everyone cares about that, but I've found it more of an asset than a distraction.

So, this course seems to be about going into the depth, I guess the chemistry and physics, of solid state electronics. Diodes, transistors, etc.

But do I need to spend 45 hours watching this to empower me to successfully design, say, a microcomputer board? A Z80? 6502? Even an 8088? Do I need this level of depth to get a microcontroller to make a stepper motor do what I want to do (whatever that may be)? Or a power circuit to drive a higher power motor controller? (Do I need relays for that? Power transistors? Big capacitors?)

Because that's what I think many who are interested in "electronics" want to do. Will the lack of understanding of a PN junction cause those kinds of projects to fail? Or be more difficult to do?

For someone interested in these kinds of projects, is there a better place to put 45 hours of study? Perhaps just wiring stuff together, stamping out fires, and tracing down the smoky parts?
Mastodon is basically wordpress micro-blogging with trackbacks

We actually need a monolith

If every major newspaper and media outlet had their own unified independent social media network and mentioned it at the end of every article and video segment, it would be millions of people within a year.

That's literally how twitter audience was built, every media outlet kept mentioning it the first few years.
All absolutely correct, but the other poster has a point. It kinds depends on how one reads 'likely'. A rudimentary analysis from year suggested that that the probability of harassment (not all of which would be illegal) following tweets about specific institutions is in the 20-25% range: https://rpubs.com/TaskForceButler/984347

The probability of actual criminal threats is much lower, perhaps 3-5%. My understanding that LibsofTiktok has a little over 1m followers, but plenty of e-celebs have comparable followings without being associated to such problematic behavior.
While I agree with you on certain points it is worth considering that US foreign policy proclaims to advocate for the spread of democracy and not the spread of constitutional republicanism.

I think Peter Thiel made some remark (maybe in his poorly moderated student youth period) along the lines of "Freedom is incompatible with democracy" which has an uncomfortable amount of truth to it assuming the state you are in remains actually committed to protecting those freedoms.
I think it's impossible to have a good faith discussion with people whose response to an argument is that words can mean anything.
This has actually been fixed in the past ~6 months, and quite nicely.

They added the concept of a "forum" channel, where you can have individual support questions, and each one has its own thread that addresses that specific question.

Better yet; the search box and the "make a new post" box are the same box. So if you're starting to ask your question, as you type, it's filtering previous questions based on the words in the question you're trying to ask.
Was that the FreeBSD 3.x that the original MTA was running? My recollection was that it wasn't really a product; and that the MTA-2 (after the Cray buyout) was actually sold to a couple of users (Peugeot-Citroen, I think was one...)

I would still speculate that the content that gets published will depend on the environment it's being published in.

A smaller, tighter knit community will encourage the sharing of more intimate details. If, however, all the action is happening on larger stages that pull people's attention out of the phpbb's and into the tiktok reels, those conversations no longer happen, even if the volume of communication has increased 1000fold
Some tangible things I'd lose:

- I read a lot and so friends not-infrequently come do me for recommendations. Having rated a big chunk of the things I've read, I can sort by rating and scroll for things they'd like. Often I go "holy shit I forgot all about that one, but it's perfect for Bob."

- I'm always looking for the next thing to read, and it's really nice to be able to quickly scroll through my (long) 'want to read' list for something that piques my interest for the mood I'm in.
It's surprising to me that forums haven't made a comeback. I guess because forums don't scale well and therefore VC has zero interest in funding them.

Everything I dislike about modern social media was a solved issue on a well-run forum: less spam and self-promotion, a tighter community, more toleration for off-topic discussion. When I look at Mastodon, it still has the same blaring "listen to me!" format that Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc. all have.

On the traditional forum, the idea of making a thread purely to "share your thoughts" on the topic-du-jour was anathema. Threads were topic-based, not individual based, and the designated personal spaces (post signatures) also allowed for much more creativity – while still not being the primary focus.

Or maybe I'm just being nostalgic.
I think my only issue is when the Government applies pressure to private companies to censor when they otherwise wouldn't. That seems to be a gray area since it is de facto the Government taking this action. Also in TFA it says it is only about the Government and not individuals, but according to this: https://www.brownfirmpllc.com/can-an-individual-violate-my-f... it is not always the case, if Gov't conspires with individuals, they can both be liable.

Also I think we need some baseline law for ISP's, not sure if common carrier covers it or not, but I don't think they should be allowed to selectively block.
Except when it does, as in the case of status Indian people in Canada, who are exempt from sales tax.

Since I started in technology I've always kept my eyes open for chances to do this.

I'm a "career-switcher" who came from commercial aviation operations. In the airlines one of the big fears was to get a 'write-up' in your file, either from a teammate, or manager, or customer.

But, on the flip side, there was nothing better than to get an "atta-boy" letter from any of those same people. (Within the company the same form could be used: ours was called an "Unusual Occurrence Report", and it could be submitted for good outcomes/performances as well as mishaps/poor performances.

I brought this same idea with me when I started in technology. I probably should have sent more of these messages than I have, but still, it's nice to know that you're helping a colleague get some positive attention from their managers. We all know that in the corporate world praise is hard to come by, and it only takes a few minutes to write a email retelling how someone saved the day.
Yes. The other day I saw a modern looking bike with a chris king headset and I smiled. I wonder if there is an opportunity for a rogue group of manufacturers to essentially open source road bike designs and more or less freeze certain standards in the design (e.g. use threaded bottom brackets which are dramatically easier to maintain and give up little in _meaningful_ performance for most riders). Of course this would imply selling fewer bicycles to each individual consumer (though there would always be a need for replacement parts) so I'm sure the bike industry would hate such an idea.
Of course you can. If the recipe calls for ingredients nobody has, then the recipe is wrong.

Unlike Russia, India and UAE have strong economic ties. Considering the Emirates imported ~30 Billion dollars worth of goods from India last year, it's quite clear what they can use the rupees for.

Fun fact: Until 1966, the Indian rupee was the official currency of the UAE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_rupee
> So, following your argument, we should at least continue to run existing infrastructure?

Qualified yes. I personally don't see how we can make it through the critical coming decades without nuclear, but that implies we'll continue to create nuclear waste. The only solution we have is to deep burial. While I think thats fairly safe, the only operational facilitiy is Onkalo in Finland. We're going to need to build more, and deep excavation takes a lot of time and safe sites are limited. Not every country that will want to deploy nuclear power will have a way to dispose of the waste.

The other alternatives are shoot it into the sun (too dangerous at scale) or shallow storage (dereliction of duty of future generations).

So I dunno really.

As for uranium resources, theres a lot in Australia.
I've seen estimates that 65M Americans have twitter. 65M/330M is definitely enough of a critical mass to start something big.

Effectively, Musk paid $675 per (American) user to bootstrap his everything app. Probably easier to incrementally add features to the-app-formerly-known-as-Twitter than to build something brand new, even if you can get a ton of sign ups when it is first announced. Take threads as an example, people got excited for approximately 1 minute, then forgot about it.
Note that the first amendment isn't the only word on free speech in the US, and there are states with laws that force private companies to honor the free speech of citizens in certain circumstances.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruneyard_Shopping_Center_v._R...
We do? What's your definition of free speech that people in the US actually adhere to? There are plenty of things you can't say that will cause people to not associate with you, block you, not hire you, not do business with you, refuse you service, ban you from community spaces and events, and at the margins lay you out flat.

As a litmus test the number of physical spaces I could theoretically carry around or display a confederate flag is basically limited to inside my house and public sidewalks. As soon as you step into somewhere privately owned people will absolutely kick you out for it.

You have cultural freedom of speech inasmuch as regular citizens can't use violence in the way the state does but literally every other consequence that can be imposed by private citizens is imposed for speech.

With a traditional dedicated receiver setup, you can reduce the price floor if you go with used equipment. Speakers that haven't been abused continue to work for decades. Receivers are less bullet proof, so it helps if you can test/demo the equipment before you buy it. But there's several recent tiers of obsolescence that mean you can likely get a bargain on quality early equipment from someone who upgraded. Pre-HDMI surround receivers with coax/optical SPDIF is still a pretty good baseline, IMHO. Depending on your sources, you might be ok with an HDMI receiver won't pass 4K, or will only pass some flavors of 4k. If your TV and your receiver support ARC, you can cable higher resolution sources direct to the TV, and then pass audio to the receiver from the TV; with ARC that gets you Dolby Digital Plus which isn't available via SPDIF, with eARC (if supported), that gets you full fidelity audio. A few sources have separate HDMI outputs for audio, but that seems pretty rare / mostly for higher end devices, in which case you're likely not skimping on a receiver.
