I have a rather nice oak tree that shades my house and my lawn. If someone chops it down, I could plant a new one. It would take 80 years to reach a similar size.

For many species it takes much longer than that.
Perhaps she is merely a figurehead, but this was the CEO, not Musk, making these statements.

Let's be real; nobody puts a band-aid on a bruise, and even a band-aid for a papercut isn't going to kick off a paperwork process in normal circumstances, even in Germany. The letter of German law may not put any lower bound on injury reporting, but that doesn't mean there isn't one in practice.
Presumably for 247 ambulance requests, there were a couple of deaths as well?
Twitter disrupted the ability of mobs to self organize and some of the most toxic culture warriors left for Mastodon. So the people left there are the ones that can live with the idea that wrongthink exists and there is no need to be extinguished.

He didn't cover the Y combinator. For shame :( Following the speaker's b combinator example...

def y_combinator(f):
return (lambda x: f(lambda y: x(x)(y))) (lambda x: f(lambda y: x(x)(y)))

I think that's right?
How can you classify a prediction as a lie? You could say it's unrealistic or delusional based solely on your guesses without having seen any financial data, but it's not a lie.
Half of the point of these scripts is to detect headless browsers. Most of them are fairly obvious, and even when they’re hidden, it’s things like what the article mentions that gives them away. For example, headless browsers can’t respond to permission requests, so they’ll likely immediately accept or reject the request for motion data.
> To be honest it's a pretty uniquely American view

Interestingly, my comment was sitting at 3 points all day in European Time, and quickly got downvoted to -1 when America woke up this morning. So I agree there is some geographical/culture disparity in views on this topic.

Do you have any actual data suggest your doubt is founded?
Some interesting responses here but imo these sound like "worse" but not "far far far worse" conditions to me. A war where lots of people are being killed exploded maimed raped generationally ruined or traumatized - is really horrible either way. It sounds like Russia has somewhat worse intentional practices than us but I don't see what the us did as okay in any sense.
I would say register as a nonprofit, but that may not be feasible if you're planning to run this as a business.

People have soured on tech companies ostensibly doing something for the public good; it never works out as it should, because behind companies are investors, and at some point, they'll want returns.

The classic example is unroll.me -- auto-unsubscribe with no strings attached*! Asterisk: many strings attached.

There's just no guarantee that introducing a middleman won't bite me in the ass later.

Yeah, I can live with images per architecture; the problem is needing an image specifically for the pi. I want the same thing as we get on x86; sure, there are separate images for i686 and x86_64, but there's not one image for Dell and one for HP and one for Lenovo and...

Yeah, can confirm, don’t do it. Ours is performing as intended but only after months and months of bullshit and having to get half our roof redone (which they paid for, but god that was annoying) because they messed it up horribly on initial install.

I’m never doing rooftop again, and if I do solar, it’ll be ground level and I’ll do everything myself but the scariest parts of the electrical work.

[edit] oh and it’s connected through some Internet of Shit device that I’m sure will stop working in a few years and cause all kinds of trouble in the replacement. If I’d known it wasn’t just gonna be a big on/off switch, I’d not have done it.
Okay, so you can learn that Chrome supports WebUSB and Firefox doesn't. But you already knew that from the User-Agent header...
There are still plenty of investors, such as the Saudi royal family. Musk isn't the sole owner of Twitter, some of the old investors agreed to remain co-owners with him in the buyout.
EV have nothing to do with almost all of the items you mentioned and the last two are fully covered under 'better battery'. A Gasoline vehicle does the same things. I get your point, in urban environments they are absolutely relevant and should be pushed for. I fully think NYC would be better without cars. In the rural areas...they are basically unsolvable in any short term less than 30 years. That's just reality.
Chrome isn't a not-for-profit charity project. We know it is a free (not paid for by the user) software built by a for-profit company and we can safely assume the intention to monetize it exists. Even so, I'm glad Chrome exists as it has meaningfully accelerated web technologies forward and has helped keep web secure. In return for their investments, if they get to make money off it in clear and transparent ways, I don't have a problem with it.

We act as though we are finding out the ads powered free software services business model today. All of user facing google products – Chrome, Android, Gmail, Youtube, Photos, GSuite etc all exists because they are paid for by ads revenue from ads side of the business. One can make a very strong case that the net benefit far far out weights any harm on the other side.
Isn't that redundant? You can't unknowingly lie. To lie is to say something that you know isn't true.
Agree.
probably morality is deep rooted by evolution, is basic for -survival-, even today, is a necessary tool to build social structures where we can live better.
skepticism is shallow, can express only in a more limited contingency, and in small doses serve to build deeper knoveledge, and maybe a deeper morality.

Different cultures appear to differ at surface levels, having different habits forged by different local environments, but being stables (or slow changing/adapting) this set of ideas/knoweledges reveal a wide similarity at deep level: this deep level is not relative, is just on top of levels like dna, cells, anatomy, is the ability to develop knowlewdge, can be the language, the walking, the relation is a group..

relativism is shallow in the big perspective of evolution, a deep relativist probably is an extinct one.
But today extintion come from the opposite direction, not nature but ourselves.. but this is another story.

But YAML _looks_ like it’s easy to write by hand.

It looks easier than JSON to write by hand. JSON at least makes it known that you’ll have a better time generating it, that writing it.

It’s like those doors that open by pushing them. Some open both ways, some have a handle to grab and open it to you, some have a plate for you to push on.

And some (like YAML) have a plate on the side you need to pull, and a handle on the side you need to push.
I haven't done enough research yet on UK. I will circle back to this comment once I do.

Anecdotally speaking as a long time twitter lurker, the quality of my "For You" feed has dropped precipitously since the Musk acquisition — I am now consistently getting trashy, lowest common denominator shock/click-bait posts about race, iq, social/political violence, hitler, etc. in my feed despite the fact that I do not seek that content out and have only ever used twitter for art/philosophy/literature/tech/science etc.

If that kind of dark engagement tactic is partially what it takes for twitter to become profitable, then it will be at the expense of its dignity and soul.
I haven't been a chemist in more than 40 years, but even I know that pyrolysis of plastics makes a horrible toxic soup. There is no way to recycle many plastics in this way, the chemistry to reuse this resultant material doesn't exist. All it does is reduce the volume of material, which you then have to put somewhere. Also, the volatiles you generate have to go somewhere, and I highly doubt you want to breath them. You may as well live next to a battery recyling plant that uses coal for energy and raises pigs.
I don't know a bit of APL, but I see numbers 3 and 4 and suspiciously looking pair of triples of -1, 0 and 1.

Thus, this program of yours has game of life step function somewhere there.

The "writeonlyness" is in the eyes of beholder, and I am almost not joking - we see better what we expect to see. It is possible to determine algorithms by their structure which rarely changes much betweend different languages.

But, I have 34 years of experience in software development and I often delve into very strange languages out of curiosity and to find what does unify them or make them special for some particular tasks.
I agree.

Twitter kicked out a lot of right wing zealots, and now I think the left wing zealots have left for greener pastures.
There was an Information article a few weeks ago on Apple increasing its daily spend to millions of dollars in ML training costs per day. With their historic desire for control over the whole stack, I'd put money on them rolling their own architecture.
“Another reason is I don't necessarily like the kind of people who are into geeky stuff. I find board game nerds and computer geeks tiresome and annoying.”

Well my point is to find something you enjoy doing and not worry about liking or socializing with the other people there. You can find the others annoying and they can find you quiet and unfriendly at first, but if you keep going regularly there’s a decent chance you’ll click with some people eventually, even if it takes a year or more.

I get the motivation and timing issues though. There is definitely a hump to get over in establishing a new habit.
Conversely, I can only find that now on mastodon, where it only shows me who I've explicitly followed and not some algorithmic feed.

Just took a look at my Twitter homepage. It's hate speech, aliens live along us, flight tracking (?), various conspiracy theories and weird American right-wing crap (I'm not even American), and a couple of tech posts. It's become complete garbage.
Combustion is a function of surface area, fuel/air temperature, mixing, oxygen supply. If you were to vaporize this fuel in a hot, high-oxygen environment, it would burn, like pretty much any other fuel.

The title is a little misleading, the fuel is most certainly not fire-safe. It is, after all, a fuel. A better title might be "Scientists vaporize ionic combustion fuels using an electric current".
Ask HN: When Is a Market a Market?
I am currently in the ideation phase for potential startups, with a core objective of fostering self-help and community growth. My focus often narrows down to two primary groups:

1. Aspiring Entrepreneurs.

2. Individuals seeking friendships.

I've had my share of attempts and failures in addressing the first group. What I've observed is that those truly determined to kickstart their ventures, do so irrespective of having a perfect plan; they improvise and adapt along the way. Conversely, others often get stuck in the preparation phase, finding reasons to delay their launch.

The second group, on the surface, presents what appears to be a gold mine of opportunity, especially in a world increasingly battling loneliness and social isolation. The idea is simple: create a platform akin to a dating app where users can input their location, specify if they are interested in local or long-distance friendships, share demographic information, preferences, and interests. A straightforward algorithm then churns out a list of potential matches. Users can start conversations, fostering connections, and ideally, forming friendships.

However, the practicality of this concept has not lived up to expectations. Pre-pandemic, I organized several meetups revolving around shared interests and socialization, yet they didn't gain the traction I hoped for.

So, it leads me to ponder - when there’s a clear need or desire for a particular service or platform but no viable market materializes, how can one navigate this conundrum? Whether the goal is profitability or merely making a positive impact, how do we discern a true market from a perceived one? Your insights, experiences, and advice would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know the DDC very well, but this is a beautiful translation.

The pattern of 3 comes up often. For example, a "classical" approach to something puts the flag in the ground. A reactionary "modern" approach takes a radical differentiating tack to the classical way. And a "postmodern" tries to reconcile what each camp got right broadly, while acknowledging that no one-size-fits-all objective approach exists.

There are two good features in YAML: multiline strings, and YAML is a JSON superset. You can use anything that generates JSON to generate YAML.

Evaporative Cooling of Group Beliefs (2007)
> Scripted verbal abuse to the point where the recipient takes their own life on screen is considered regular acting in a drama

Am I reading this right? Are you saying that it's regular acting to be subjected to such a high level of verbal abuse at work that you might take your own life?

> scripted violence to a certain degree including where mistakes lead to significant or even fatal actor injury is considered regular

It feels like a movie script that leads to fatal actor injury would surely be illegal also in the US? Or do you mean accidental injury/death? That's different that the injry or death being an inherent part of the script and intentional thing that is inflicted upon the actress. Otherwise, can you point me towards a single example of a Hollywood movie where an actress was intentionally killed and this was seen as regular/normal by the public?

> scripted sexual acts themselves are commonly considered regular acting in more "artsy" movies.

Yes, that's fine and the study even talks about such cases in a positive light. People can absolutely consent to sex acts! Sex is fun. But under French law people can not consent to be harmed, which is what was seen to be happening in the case in 90% of popular videos. Again, that's actual harm, not simiulated harm.

> What is depicted in these works is also acting.

Yes, to some degree it is. But can you see the difference in acting out being stabbed with the use of an unloaded gun and some fake blood, and being degraded by a queue of 50 men who want to slap you, cum on you and call you a worthless Moroccan who deserves to be treated like this? One of those things is very simulated, the other not so much. Maybe if all the slaps and the ejaculate were faked? Then it could be comparable.
Cloudflare Integrations Marketplace introduces three new partners
I think they're not wrong on this particular case sadly.

Second hand source, but I know a biologist who worked on the Kerguelen for two years (on pingouins colonies). It's basically the same as the international Antarctica base. The stories he told me about the rampant alcoholism, the orgies, the lax attitude... He had to go out regularly during the 'summer', when the winds allowed it, to get film back and install new film/clean cameras (it was in the early 90s). It was impossible to go alone, too dangerous, but it was really hard to find personnel to accompany him the first year because missing on alcohol was hard for most people. His second year a woman who didn't know about the activities stayed on the base during the 6 'no contact' months, and her only escape was getting out as much as possible on outside mission (which he appreciated as he collected enough data to come back instead of doing his 3rd year).
One way to bring the recovered energy higher could be to use some of the steam energy to drive a steam engine (with most still used in a heat exchanger). The steam engine, in turn, can provide at least some of the power needed to take the sea water in the last stage past 100°C.
If they're saying "should turn a profit" publicly and their internal numbers say "almost certainly won't turn a profit", that prediction is, IMO, a lie.
Isn't Community Notes a system to tackle disinformation?
Are they an early blog; or were they an independently published column that was among the early adopters of the internet? A game company newsletter for fans and customers could be published in many forms. Like those catalogs that include an op-ed from someone in each issue, but its still a catalog.

one of the distinguishing features of "blog", for me, was that the publication had no reason to exist by traditional measures. There were plenty of things on the early internet that looked blog like but were identifiable otherwise; columns from commercial entites and paid journalists, activists exhorting action, and so on.

"blog" was someone talking to the world for the fun of doing so, any commercial benefit coming later as an afterthought once they had an audience.

Regardless; 30 years is a good run and worthy of recognition for any class of publication.

> If anything, the whole episode left me with the feeling that I am a stable adult person with a good moral compass and that many people of whom I had assumed the same are neither.

To me, one of the most shocking results of the pandemic was learning how many people I considered friends, good people, who I respected, ended up being those bad actors. Truly sad, and eye opening.
It's only counterintuitive if you assume that Germans are innately more safe than other people.

I've lived and worked in both places, I can assure you that the standards are pretty similar. The main difference being that issues in California are generally handled via civil suit, while Germany handles them through a government board.

You're welcome to compare Cal/OSHA regulations:

To BMAS regulations (and Bundesländer extensions) and try to find something they do to an amazingly higher standard, however.

"We found some evidence for" does not equal " All crops were raised this way".

I.e. just because they found some evidence of specialized fields in the remains of those civilizations, does not mean they grew all their food exclusively that way.

Also, you are simply wrong.

"Three Sisters"
The Three Sisters are the three main agricultural crops of various Indigenous peoples of North America: squash, maize ("corn"), and climbing beans (typically tepary beans or common beans). In a technique known as companion planting, the maize and beans are often planted together in mounds formed by hilling soil around the base of the plants each year; squash is typically planted between the mounds. The cornstalk serves as a trellis for climbing beans, the beans fix nitrogen in their root nodules and stabilize the maize in high winds, and the wide leaves of the squash plant shade the ground, keeping the soil moist and helping prevent the establishment of weeds.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Sisters_(agriculture)

And then when you go to the companion planting wiki article it highlights that it's been in use around the world for many years, China, etc
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Companion_planting

To say this, to say that humans just started off right from monoculture is crazy. We just went straight from hunter gatherers to having large curated monoculture fields that are cultivated and specifically planted.

No.

"Though the transition from wild harvesting was gradual, the switch from a nomadic to a settled way of life is marked by the appearance of early Neolithic villages with homes equipped with grinding stones for processing grain."

The whole point of the fairphone is, as the name implies, that it is fair. That means that all the components/elements are sourced from (where possible) sustainable sources and all labour is paid for fairly (no 'sweatshops'). If you would rather have a flashy screen at the lowest price possible with no regard to the actual cost (human, environmental, etc.) then you can buy litterally any other phone on the market but it is great that the fairphone exists for the people that these kind of issues do concern.
How much of that success can be attributed to musk though? That's like saying selective schools are better because students perform better but also they only admit high performing students. If you correct for a student's expected grades/outcomes, selective schools are detrimental to a child's education outcomes, not better.

Musk bought into space tech which showed a lot of promise and called it a company. Spacex invented the things it is famous for like Apple invented the iPhone. How are we to know his presence hasn't actually crippled progress instead of helping? Sure his money helped make some things happen but I'd argue just taxing people like musk properly so funding for research isn't so slim we'd have seen the same maybe more.

So, Microsoft Edge now comes with an equivalent to Apple’s Private Relay, just without Apple as a middleman between Cloudflare and Fastly.

Neat. On the other hand… I have to hand it to Cloudflare, they’ve done a great job turning themselves into the internet’s second backbone. (AWS might as well be the third backbone.)

It seems that decentralized systems always centralize over time when it comes to mindshare, and really don’t like decentralizing. Like, once the network effects begin even slightly, it becomes irreversible quickly. Linux is still not beating Windows and Mac. Mastodon’s numbers are still tiny compared to Twitter. Bitcoin hasn’t really hurt banks. The internet started out fairly decentralized, look at it now.

I’ve come to the conclusion that people just do not like decentralized anything, period. Which is unfortunate.
I see these installs on roofs not facing south and wonder if the installers know something I don't know or if they are paid to install cells, not to optimize cell utilization.
So because nobody has found a solution in the vast amount of time that is 30 years, it could never be found? And we must bow down to advertisers? Okay bud.
