To be perfectly honest, I don't think that's a "kids these days" sort of thing. The concept of service has rarely been high on people's priorities outside of a major crisis or being part of a social group that values it highly and enforces it through peer pressure.
Why is buying a house a prerequisite? Renting is perfectly reasonable. Billions of people happily have kids never being able to afford to buy a house.
I've read through this and I see no reasons given, just a gut feel that's not being articulated very well.

"nothing to do with" is a perception, it is not a reason. The parallels drawn in TFA remind me of Mozilla and Firefox. Mozilla is talking about election standards [1], but that has nothing to do with Firefox browser. Should we ask them to stop and focus on the browser only?

There are many other orgs that also do multiple things, and stick their nose in where we perceive they should or shouldn't. Religious organisations routinely interfere in government and politics. Corporations lobby and drive public opinion. This is no different - an organisation is advocating for changes in certain areas. You may or may not agree with them.

I cannot fathom the reason for the focus on the Wikimedia Foundation. It is either that the author is seeking low hanging fruit, or is blatantly against the campaigns and seeks to stop them through a piece like this.

Isn't this flawed, though? If a venture company has a billion dollars in LP funding secured, then instead of having that 1 1 billion fund, they could have ten of the 100 million funds listed in the article. Sure, it's more work, but it's also, hypothetically, a vastly larger return, both for GPs and LPs. Not to mention, doing the billion dollar, lower-returning fund makes VC less attractive to the LPs that put up most of the money, as they're paying more in management fees for a lesser return.

It seems to me that funds getting larger is driven by a flawed expectation from VCs that large funds will perform as well as small funds, not based on a cynical extraction of money from their LPs, but maybe I'm mistaken.
That sounds like what magic leap was - it will only work if everyone has one. Doesn't matter if 10 people are not interested. You convince everyone to buy one when everyone else has to have one.

But how do you get it so that everyone else has one first?
I hope I'm not coming across as negative! Y'all are just have a much younger product, and have not had time to do all the polish and tiny tweaks. I'm also much more familiar with Datadog, and sometimes a learning curve feels like missing features.

- I really like your new Logs & Traces Explorers. I spend a lot of time coming up with queries, and having a focused place for that is great. Especially since there's now a way to quickly turn my query into an alert or a dashboard item.

- You've also recently (6mo?) improved the autocomplete dramatically! This is awesome, and one of my annoyances with Datadog

Other feedback, and honestly this is all very minor. I'd be perfectly happy if nothing ever changed.

- where do I go see the metrics? There's no "Metrics" tab the way there's a "Logs" and "Traces" tab. A "Metrics Explorer" would be great.

- when I add a new plot, having to start out with a blank slate is not great. Datadog defaults to a generic system.cpu query just to fill something in, I find this helpful.

- when I have a plot in a dashboard and I see it is trending in the wrong direction, it would be nice to be able to create an alert directly from the chart rather than have to copy the query over.

- the exceptions tab is very helpful, but I've only recently discovered the LOW_CARDINAL_EXCEPTION_GROUPING flag. It'd be super nice if the variable part of exceptions was automatically detected and they were grouped

- once nice thing in DD is being able to preview a span from a log or logs from a span without opening a new page. Or previewing a span from the global page. Temporary popping this stuff up in a sidebar would be great.

- I'm not sure if there's a way to view only root spans in the trace viewer.

- This might be a problem with the spring boot instrumentation, but I can't see how to figure out what kind of span it is. Is it a `http.request`, `db.query`, etc?

rybosworld says >"In the U.S., the recommendation is that "healthy individuals do not need to deworm"."<

You quote something but provide no source. I believe the quote is at least not wise and probably is incorrect. People should periodically be checked for parasites. Otherwise they may be writing posts to YC under the influence of a worm!8-)

Butt seriously, many individuals in the USA have worms. When I was a child in the southwest USA we were tested at least once a year for parasites including worms. That was decades ago. Yet today the topsoil is the same, the plants and animals are the same and the parasites remain. Children still put their hands into dirt, eat dirt and sand, and touch everything. Gardeners are just as bad. I had worms as a child and I likely catch them now and again. I take care of it.

Some people "deworm" themselves in their work: e.g., ivermectin products are often applied to animals' skin. That ivermectin clears many parasites from the cowboy as well as from the cow.
Said it in another thread but while sure it matters, it’s generally a pretty weak argument. It’s your ears and you can decide for yourself but even if it does not sound loud, over the course of a ride it can still be high enough to slowly cause damage.

My mom has macular degeneration and she loved to read.

At first I bought her an e-reader and a subscription to a library that had more ebooks than our local library. That gave her access without driving and she was able to adjust the font, font-size, contrast and brightness to her satisfaction. That worked for several years.

My backup plan for things getting worse was to move to audiobooks which she refused to try earlier because it felt like giving up to her. Braille was out of the question. Unfortunately vision loss is often, but not always, a precursor to dementia which I now know. She slowly stopped most activities she enjoyed entire life.

In some ways, attitude it the most important tool. Acceptance of things you cannot change, adaptability and creativity to handle unexpected events along the way, and compassion to support her in her journey.

It makes you appreciate how good a new food has to be to break into the culinary ouvre. Think about how long croissants and doughnuts have been around (since at least the 13th and 15th centuries), and boom, cronuts pop up out of nowhere in 2013 and seem to have taken the pastry world by storm. 10 years later, doughnuts and croissants are still a staple at every bakery, from fancy shops to fast food places like dunkin' donuts, and while cronuts are still around, they are more of a niche thing, somewhat forgotten. It certainly did not have the staying power of, say, pizza margherita...

When the printing press was developed, people started publishing "pamphlets". The extent of disinformation and political slander that was conveyed through these in the 16th century makes LinkedIn and Twitter pale in comparison.

I suppose individuals learn to cope with these phenomena rather quickly. I'm not the best at avoiding social media, but I seem to have no problem ignoring the crackpots. I guess most people share a similar approach.

I get the concern about transparency and donor expectations. But let's not forget that Wikipedia's mission is broader than just 'keeping the lights on.' It's about democratizing access to information. Social justice causes aim to do the same by leveling the playing field. If you're donating to Wikipedia, you're supporting that broader mission, not just server costs.

As for directed donations, that's an interesting idea, but it could also complicate the operational aspects of running a not-for-profit. And if you're not comfortable with how Wikipedia uses its funds, redirecting your donations to another cause you support, like the Internet Archive, is a reasonable course of action.
Yes. Plenty of people know how to DIY or can figure it out, it's not a special skill. They just don't consider it worthwhile.

> I don't find my treatment as a paying user shoddy

I have never payed for a service with worse uptime in my life than ChatGPT. Why? So that OpenAI could ramp up their user-base of both free and paying users. They knowingly took on far more paying users than they could properly support for months.

There are justifications for the terrible uptime that are perfectly valid, but in the end, a customer-focused company would have issued a refund to the paying customers for the months during which they were shafted by OpenAI prioritizing growth.

That doesn't mean OpenAI isn't terrific in some ways. They're also lousy in others. With so many tech companies, the lousy aspects grow in significance as the years pass. OpenAI, because of all the reasons in my parent comment, is not off to a great start, imo.

Interesting perspective, but I disagree. Social justice isn't about anarchy; it's about addressing systemic inequalities that legal justice sometimes overlooks or even perpetuates. Laws are often a reflection of societal values, which can be biased. Social justice aims to challenge and change those biases.

As for democratizing access to information, it's directly related. Information is power. When you make information accessible, you empower people to make informed decisions, challenge biases, and even influence those very laws you're talking about. So, in a way, social justice and information access are two sides of the same coin.
The basic steps to doing it properly are

1. Roll the earplug to compress it (similar to if you've ever made a snake out of play-dough). Most people do this properly but some people just immediately try to jam the earplugs in while they're flaccid, which prevents them from inserting very far.

2. While inserting the earplug, use your opposite hand to pull on your ear (eg use your left hand over your head to yank your right ear up a bit). This helps line up your ear canal. Most people don't do this

3. Hold the earplug in place for 10-30 seconds, so that the foam you compressed in step 1 has time to reexpand and lock in. I don't think I've ever seen someone actually do this step.

IMO the move for new shooters (especially indoors, where IMO it's a good idea for everyone) is to double up on ear pro. Use ear plugs in addition to muffs (bonus points for ANC muffs with amplification, so you don't have to shout). It'll reduce the sensory overload and physical discomfort that some people experience.

There is no precedent for consequence-free probing of others' defenses. Unauthorized "testing conducted in ways unfavorable to vendors" is generally considered a crime of trespass, because everybody has the right to exist unmolested. Whether or not they have their shit together, you aren't authorized to test your kids' school's evacuation procedure by randomly showing up with a toy gun and a vest rigged with hotdogs and wires.

The way this goes in the digital space, people expect to break into my "house," see if they can get into my safe, snoop around in my wife's/daughter's nightstands, steal some of their underwear as a CTF exercise, help themselves to my liquor on the way out, then send me an invoice for their time while also demanding the right (or threatening) to publish everything they found on their blog. Unsolicited "security research" is a shakedown desperate to legitimize itself. Unlawful search/"fruit of the poisoned tree" exists to keep the cops from doing this to you, but it's totally acceptable for self-appointed "researchers" to do to anybody else I guess.

"Ethical hacking" is notifying the owner/authorities there's a potential problem at an address, seeing if they want your help in investigating, and working with them in that capacity-- proceeding to investigate only with explicit direction. Even if their incompetence or negligence in response affects you personally, that's not a cue to break a window and run your own investigation while collecting leverage you can use to shame them into compliance. That shit is just espionage masquerading as concern trolling.
