Fair. Without doubt, there's some bias/aspiration in OP's post. There is, though, a kernel of interest in the confluence of Mastodon/ActivityPub and mainstream media outlets. The latter have become subservient to the social media platforms and it has, at best, been an uneasy alliance for them. Twitter/X has probably been the most successful; Meta's disagreement in Canada [0] is towards the other end.

Mastodon/ActivityPub presents a chink of opportunity for mainstream media. Rather than being subservient to 3rd party platforms, they can run their own - e.g. social.bbc. Users can sign up and follow who they like, see what they like, and not be subjected to the commercial drivers of a 3rd party platform and its selection algorithms.

Of course, that's a huge risk for extant platforms. Meta's intention to federate Threads is pretty clearly an effort to counter that potential threat.

It would also need a significant level of investment, commitment and coordination among the broadcasters. So it's definitely in the "possible" rather than "probable" bucket.

Which brings us back to the OP. It can justly be seen as hope over evidence, at least at the moment. But there is at least an opportunity underpinning it.

As I've said "I'm sure bad management and bad direction exist", you showing me one example of bad management or one motivation for having a bad management does not prove anything.

It's a fallacy similar to this one:

1) vaccines help avoiding sickness (equivalent to: working in the office can be a way to solve real problems that the dev doesn't care about)

2) big pharma can make a lot of profit by selling vaccine (equivalent to: working in the office can make profit for the company)

According to your logic, number 2 would "prove" that number 1 is impossible.
There are thousands of such establishments in the US. They are called credit unions. And many banks too. Yes, I have a US Revolut account, but not for that reason, but because US banks generally don't know how to send money internationally. For them, civilization ends at the US border :)
In practice reasonable doubt is generally ignored by juries. Interviews of post conviction juries show they often convict people who they have serious doubts actually committed the crime. They say stuff like, “If he’s innocent it will be reversed on appeal.”

Risking a bench trial is poor odds as they are significantly more likely to convict when things aren’t clear. Roughly 3/4 the time they agree, but when they disagree judges are ~5x more likely to convict. The difference seems to largely be bias on the side of Judges.
The major difference is that in the event that there's a catastrophic event, we won't be able to build the tech we need because the intermediate steps will be lost.

It is also how we know there hasn't been a civilization more advanced than us that left without a trace. All the oil that was easy to extract has been extracted.
If hackernews had a "follow" function, i'd follow you. Thanks for your thoughts.
Can you share your experience of using Immich? I've played with the demo months back but haven't got around to actually use it myself
see "scope" in my original comment
Thanks for the details.

While I think it's ridiculous, a 0.3% fee for over $20k in deposited cash per month doesn't sound unreasonable for handling risk.

Personally, I wouldn't be banking with either of those companies because I think they just exist as parasites. Find a good credit union.
If you and I bought a house together, no capital gains would be "paid". We would own an asset, which could go up in value and we could sell. Exactly the same with REITs.
What the discussion is missing is that with the plethora of those social apps, appeared also an expectation of continuous socializing. And while people might be social yes, most will not be that social to always answer that annoying neighbor who keeps trying to communicate yelling from across the street, the guy you rejected last year who still sends you letters, or the shop clerk trying to chit-chat you before you had coffee - and whatever their contemporary equivalents are. Unwanted socializing is nothing new, new is only that now you can have muuuuuuch more of it.
Nix isn't an OS and NixOS does "security concerns" just as well as any other distro. I'm really struggling to understand what you mean. Nix itself doesn't have any runtime sandboxing, but that's no different than using distro packages on any other distro. Meanwhile you can still use Flatpaks, docker, podman, kvm/libvirt, etc, just like on any distro.
That’s not how much research works. You never have data at the outset. You have to have anecdotal information and/or sometimes even just an unfounded hypothesis before you can collect useful data to prove/disprove the hypothesis.

This would fall into the anecdotal side of things, and should hopefully drive more rigorous research on whether any such concerns exist.

In reality, even if the research is proven, the only likely change is screening out a few people who are at an elevated risk of suicidal ideation and/or better monitoring, or even prescribing regular therapy along with the medication (which might be a good idea anyways).

Could be. But the site is a megalithic terraced pyramid. That it would have inner chambers like Cholula or Giza is not unexpected. I don't know if they've tried to excavate any yet, it's what they see on the ground radar and other sensors.

Yep. Same for music. Go anywhere that people are talking about a band you like, then scroll down until you start to see things you've never heard of.
I haven't heard this concept before, but it is an interesting one.

I immediately recognized that for me, Rust (which I am teaching myself) is a "puzzle language" centered around pleasing the borrow checker. Most of my time I find myself pleasantly enjoying the elegant design of the language and of the libraries written for it. But there is a solid chunk of my time spent knowing exactly what I want to happen and trying to figure out how to express that in a language that prohibits aliasing.
semi-related: I do get a jolly deep belly laugh when "a threat to national security" is loosely tossed out as doublespeak for "an augment to individual privacy".

Without a VPN or tor on at least some of those browsers, though, I imagine the metadata strewn about could get stitched back together on the data-broker (ad-tech) end of all those transactions.

this is why RMS ssh's into a pine server to read email, i reckon.

It is hard to keep track of the links so I wrote https://github.com/wsw70/syncthing-map to ease the pain a little bit.
I think people find it more difficult to have uncomfortable conversations nowadays. Maybe it's a millennial thing or now we are all online more?

As uncomfortable as can be, I find it almost unthinkable to not at least pick up the phone when I have news to deliver.
My two cents

> I can usually bang out a solution to just about anything in Python. I update locals and add globals and modify arrays and get working code

Globals in Python? They do exist but why ever use them? Not using them in Python invalidates most of the puzzliness attributed to Erlang and Haskell.

> Each [Erlang] process captures a bit of relevant data in a small, endlessly recursive loop. Imagine dozens or hundreds of these processes, each spinning away, holding onto important state data. Erlang string theory, if you will.

Calling an Erlang process to store state is equivalent to calling a method of an object. There are hundreds of important objects in any medium sized OO program, plus hundreds of thousands invisible ones, just because everything is an object. Nobody complains about creating the few important objects in Python and nobody complains about creating the few necessary processes in Erlang.

My complaint with Erlang and Elixir is that I have to define handle_cast and handle_call functions with the actual method name passed as argument instead of being able to define and use the real method names (or function names, it doesn't matter) as in any sensible language. It feels so low level, like OO programming in C around 1990. Erlang is excused because it's from that age. Elixir is not.
That sounds like treating the symptom rather than the problem...
Although to be fair I personally did do a slightly – though probably not highly – unusual method of entering the US one time, too (walking across the Rainbow Bridge at Niagra Falls with the intention of catching a bus onwards to Buffalo and then taking a flight to Washington from there), and the US border staff on that occasion were quite reasonable.

So from personable experience I can't actually complain too much, but yeah, it seems to be easier to find that kind of stories involving the US rather than Canada…
That's not a list of prohibitions, though. It's a single prohibition: drink and drive is the one thing you shouldn't do.
So they "burned" down a collection of books larger than the old Library of Alexandria of yore, specifically to deny scientists the ability to progress the art of AI.

Wikipedia provides some theories.

Developer claims it was because it was addictive and not good for people.
The Media, which of course is state-ran, claims is was because of intellectual property legal reasons.
"Lawyers in Vietnam" denied that it was related to internet censorship.

He was making $50k a revenue a day and like most businesses in China and Vietnam, not formally paying taxes. Even in Japan, most small businesses are not correctly paying taxes.

The fact that the game itself is a rip-off makes it unlikely that the developer has the highest standard of ethics. Regarding intellectual property, even the government was found to be using bootlegged versions of Windows. Before companies like Adobe realized they needed to move to a SaaS model, there were entire streets selling cracked version of software like Photoshop for 50 cents a pop. Same with Playstation games. Nintendo used hardware medium to make the economics of bootlegging harder, but it was much easier to burn CDs. You simply couldn't buy authentic versions of Playstation games if you wanted to.

I don't think the government had any clue on how to regulate, control, and tax digital services. Regardless, it is guaranteed that government officials paid the developer a visit that day and brought him back to the police office in a police truck. Somebody there would have hassled him for money. Whether he paid or not, there will just be more vultures coming and will just leave him the leftovers. He probably just rage quit instead of having them have most of the pie. This shouldn't be a surprising for a communist regime that a generation ago seized tens of thousands of landlord's land [1], made their children bury them alive, while declaring how they've stolen from the people.

Go travel. But… you don’t really like backpacking, always moving and 6am starts and getting drunk like all the other travellers, and meeting people is hard so instead travel as a geek: find tech conferences to go to, meet other nerds. Rip up those Lonely Planet books and just ask for recommendations (special experiences that need to be booked excepted!)

I would probably do more chill holidays like yoga retreats.

Komali only claimed some percent are possession, not “lots”. And I’m going to disagree: overcharging is definitely a problem but there’s lots of pleading down as well. There are jurisdictions where you can plead down a violent crime to a drug offense. Because these strategies vary so much between DAs, it’s hard to get aggregates on how much this is happening.

That's not ghosting, that's lying.

It makes an explicit promise of future communication which it then

you a job after a better offer transpired.

Your dreams can be any passion or hobby, if it's a relatively fleeting one that's fine too. I restored a motorcycle last year, it was a great outlet, but I wasn't actually very into riding it in the end and dropped it. Onto the next one.

You like fine dining and look forward to a new restaurant every week? That's the equivalent of a dream to some people.

I think you're right in the sense that this U.S. notion of "exceptionalism" is also expected of individuals on both a professional and personal level, and "never forget your dreams" can really be reduced to "work to live, not live to work".
While the system is not perfect and errors do occur, the claim that juries "generally" ignore the standard of reasonable doubt is a sweeping statement. The principle of "innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt" is a cornerstone of many legal systems and taught and emphasized to jurors in instructions before they deliberate.

As old joke goes “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

It seems a puzzle language is one where you haven't fully grasped some conceptual foundation of the language.

For example:

> In Haskell and Erlang, the puzzle is how to manage with single assignment and without being able to reach up and out of the current environment.

You can say the same thing about Python: "Stupid language. I just want a block of RAM and a pointer. Pointer? Parlez vous memory access? Wo ist das Void-Pointeren? Where's that blasted phrasebook... " [1] Python has abstraction over direct memory access, Haskell has referential transparency and a type system that's both stronger and less confining than most type systems that get called 'strict' in the procedural world. Neither allow you to reach out of their environments, at least by default, and it makes both of them simpler and more regular.

[1] Non-English languages intentionally a bit misused. That's the point.

Obviously, the solution is to learn how the language wants to do things, and speak it like a native. This isn't about purity, really, just learning how to use tools as they're intended to be used.
