It was already well established that they can't. For example, when Elon Musk's Twitter was already caught shadow-banning people posting pro-Ukraine content, and when Elon Musk open-sourced some of the original Twitter's code, people found out that it hardcoded settings to ban discussions on Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Past HN discussion on Musk's censorship of the invasion of Ukraine:

Professor Sir Ian Wilmut: Dolly the sheep creator dies aged 79
This is legally nonsensical - nothing about Section 230 precludes any further restriction on moderation by another entity. Section 230 is and has always been about the act of moderation not specifically creating liability for the carrier of user-generated content - nothing about Section 230 grants the publisher any specific right not to be subject to further moderation at another level.

The first amendment angle is a stronger argument, but unfortunately for X, it's also extremely weak and would require overriding decades of precedence and essentially create a crisis - there are far more onerous regulations in place that are still relied upon in a way that having them constitutionally challenged would be extremely damaging.
So more people can charge their EV's on brown coal, nice.

The web happened. VB was great for builing stand alone desktop applications, possibly with database integration. But they never managed to deliver a similar slick and self-contained solution for building web-based solutions. It didn’t help that the migration from vb6 to vb.net was too painful, but the root cause was the demand for business desktop apps disappeared.

The infamous WebForms API was supposed to bring the same gui builder paradigm to the web, but the developer experience was not as great.
Given the prominence of GHGs as the source for climate change, we won't free-market our way to a solution. Things have to change drastically, and rapidly, and regulation is probably the only reasonable avenue for making that happen in time. And more to the point: we need a lot of coordinated regulation across industries, multi-nationals, and countries to baseline our efforts. Almost all our GHGs come from fossil fuels, food and transportation industries. These stretch beyond borders, and we don't yet have enough momentum to stave off irreversible damages, tipping points, and unacceptable human suffering.

And for every reminder from someone that "fossil fuels are convenient", I'll respond with "regulations are powerful".

What’s crazy to me is how many people in the forum continue to run Chrome. There’s barely any mention of switching off Chrome in this thread until scrolling down towards the bottom of the comments. Why is that? It’s so obvious how this story is doing to end—Google will do everything in their power to shove ads down Chrome users throats no matter how many ad blockers people try to run.

What is it about Chrome that makes it so much better than alternatives like Firefox, Safari, or any Blink engine variants that aren’t spyware?

Single cell life appeared on Earth almost instantly after the planet cooled down enough to allow it. I don't think it's clear that any progress was being made over the next few billion years. One day the right mutation happened and boom, fancy life everywhere. With our data sample of one, I don't think it's clear if it was extraordinarily bad luck it took that long to happen, or extraordinarily good luck it ever happened at all.

Which might have been you or someone with a similar sentiment. Anyway Github's 2FA does not require a phone or SMS. I do not use a phone or SMS for Github 2FA myself, or for most sites.

Might be unrelated - I also notice the blog post tries to clarify that it isn't about phone numbers, but they fail to clarify what it's actually about, and aren't interested in other methods... which is confusing.
It's amusing that the UUIDs are considered 'ugly' while the Amazon and YouTube IDs are not. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't find UUIDs pretty, at all, but the others are even uglier to my taste.

Yes, UUIDs are overkill for most applications. But CPUs and hard drives are, relatively speaking, cheap. Using an existing, battle-tested unique ID library implementation has advantages. The 8 bytes per record you're saving over bigserial is, for most use cases, negligible. 1,000,000 rows? You'll save 8 MB by switching away from UUIDs.

Most databases won't be that large. Use a UUID if you want; pretend you'll have Really Big Data some day if it makes you happy. Render it using a special function if the hyphens are too ugly.
Germany is mining ~10% (10 megaton/years) more coal than Poland, but is much less reliant on it for electricity and is significantly ahead at switching to renewables.

Some people choose not to set up automatic payments, and the percentage of people who are living paycheck to paycheck or nearly so is high enough that, even among those who do, probably a significant percentage would see the second month's payments fail if they were set up using a bank draft or debit card rather than a credit card.

ICE only exists because customers only want them" has no basis in fact.

You can only say this, if you stop your ears, and explain away anyone as wanting one.

For example, no EV has the range I require. There are many in my boat. No, I'm not wrong, and you can never be right, telling me I'm wrong in what I need. Ever.

As well, trying to claim EVs are more reliable is an amazing assertion, many buy ICE cars, put 250000km on them with only brake and tire changes, and drove them a decade. I know I do.

In fact, it's literally impossible to determine which takes more maintenance, because the majority of EVs aren't a decade old. And the ones that are, are very early models, and not indicatively comparable to the volume of ICE cars, even now.

I wonder, how.many decades of car ownership do you speak from? Do you have reliably studies going back decades for EVs, with large production runs?

You're just saying what you hope is true. That's not how reality works.
Are you familiar with Kevin D. Hall's Ultraprocessed food study?

https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/pdf/S1550-4131(19)30248...

They did it in a metabolic ward, so about as controlled as you can get in a diet study. Created 2 diets that were matched - so caloric density and macronutrients of the food were the same. Let people eat as much of the food as they wanted, and the ultraprocessed group consumed 500 calories per day more.

I see a lot of "government shouldn't interfere with the free market", but this is par for the course for Germany. After the world wars, they were in a do-or-die economic situation. The government started to heavily regulate and direct the industry that made Germany the power-house it is today. It's not perfect, but it has been working well for them so far. Enough to make them world recognized in many areas.
It will probably all fall apart when there is no one left to purchase this stuff, no job, no money, no purchasing power.

Philosophically I agree, but in my experience the company isn't willing to pay for experiments except in Production due to scaling issues and quality of synthetic data.

So you need to instead have a series of features that are architecturally solid, have KPIs to measure success, and be willing to throw out working production code that doesn't move metrics enough to warrant their complexity.

This is outside criminal procedure, which is a federal matter. Since it's not a criminal proceeding, criminal courts don't have jurisdiction, and the rights you have in criminal proceedings do not apply. This is a state administrative matter instead.

Pivoting to the related subject of compact textual representations of _typed_ data, check out CESR[0]. Through some careful choices of code prefixes and payload lengths that won't require Base64 padding, it provides a novel encoding scheme for JSON plus cryptographic signatures (all while enabling true concatenative composability). It is at the heart of the KERI[1][2][3], a decentralized identity management scheme, and ACDC[4], a mechanism for verified credentials.

Sometimes I wonder if people with your opinion are purposefully ignoring the fact that the grid's power composition is easier to change than the car fleet's. Isn't it obvious to you that decoupling the cars from direct fossil fuel usage is a necessary step, even though the grid might not yet be perfect?
ICE cars are incredibly reliable. I buy a new car, drive it a decade, and outside of things like brakes, tires, which wear by their nature, often have no repairs to deal with. Typically I do 25000km per year.
1. Currently it's about 50/50 for renewable vs fossil fuels. However the trend is that renewables are growing and fossil fuel usage (mostly coal) is declining. You can see some cool graphs on the Wikipedia page for energy in Germany

I'm no aviation safety controls expert but it seems to me that there are two types of controls that should be in place:

1. Process controls: What do we do when this breaks for any reason.

2. Engineering controls: What can we do to keep this from breaking in the first place?

Both of them seem to be somewhat essential for a truly safe system.

Linux still has no way to make stuff just work, reliably, every time, aside from containers. Windows has less "Oh look I updated and now Steam doesn't work, and git cola doesn't either" problems.

To me, only real similarity between The X-Files and Twin Peaks was the PNW environments and certain moments of surreality and smirking, almost breaking the third wall. Somehow, I barely even remember that they were both FBI agents as main characters.

TLDR: Doctors need to check blood pressure while the patient is laying down.

I do wonder about recent changes that suggest anything beyond 120 / 80 is above 'normal'. You would think that something like blood pressure would be highly regulated in the body but it varies throughout the day, month and year.

They also say that salt is seriously bad for high blood pressure but I find little effect for myself personally. I do wonder how much sensitivity varies from person to person.
Are you in the US? Then $1000 doesn't sound bad for 24/7 on-call. But is it an extortion? It depends how do you sell it. If you try to strongarm them, that could come off badly. If you simply tell them "look folks, when we agreed on my renumeration, there was 1 extra dev, and I could drink a beer after work.

Just wanted to highlight the different mindset. I am a German living in Canada with my family. The mindset is very different.

The Biden administration reversed this liberalization in 2022, and is now trying to make it tighter than it was pre-Trump.

"The efficiency levels proposed in today’s rule reflect that there are models available today that can meet improved energy and water standards, while providing the cleaning performance that consumers expect from their dishwashers. The new proposal builds upon the groundwork laid by DOE’s test procedure final rule that was published on January 18, 2023, which ensures consumer expectations for cleaning continue to be met with increased energy and water efficiency.

"If adopted within DOE’s proposed timeframe, the new rule for dishwashers will come into effect in 2027. DOE expects the new rule to save consumers nearly $3 billion in utility bill savings over the ensuing 30 years of shipments and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 12.5 million metric tons—an amount roughly equivalent to the combined annual emissions of 1.6 million homes. DOE also expects the new rule to save 240 billion gallons of water, which is equivalent to the water in 360,000 Olympic-sized pools."

https://www.energy.gov/articles/doe-announces-efficiency-rul...

From 2022:

"The Biden administration this week reversed a Trump-era rule exempting quick dishwashers, as well as clothes washers and dryers, from efficiency regulations.

"A rule issued Wednesday cuts two Trump rules that created separate product categories for dishwashers that took 60 minutes or fewer per cycle, certain clothes washers or dryers that took less than 30 minutes and other washers that took less than 45 minutes."
