Slightly off topic, I'm surprised why more tool or SaaS vendors don't run as Atlassian apps. It solves so many enterprise gatekeeping issues for most tools:

1. Usually integrated with the Enterprise IDP

2. apps/modules usually are part of the security boundary of Atlassian, meaning little compliance headaches if any.

3. Out of the box scaling of per user licenses since individual apps can't have their own independent user limits, they use the whole Atlassian user count. So, if your customer needs just 10 licenses but their Atlassian suite has 500 users, they must purchase at 500 user cal.

4. Atlassian Jira/Confluence are very sticky at the enterprise level. Yes, teams may move to Gitlab, but most customers prefer to stick to Jira/Confluence.
Yeah that went from "WTF" to "yeah, well" pretty soon.

I've heard about these regulations with local content quotes (doesn't France also have these?) and I can imagine no scenario where this $10M figure would hit anyone who should not have been regulated before if their only differentiator was if they did video on youtube or audio (somewhere) only. (I don't know enough about the Canadian regulations, so this is a not comment on those, only on "why the exception for podcasts, probably oversight").
The problem Twitter and Facebook have is size. Call it an unproven conjecture, but any network that reaches quasi-global sizes becomes a cesspool of scum and villainy, and it scales exponentially with number of users. Newer generations are discovering that niche, small communities are better, in the face of the idea of an Inter-Net.

While I enjoy HN immensely and have been participating without major issues for a decade, it would be hard for me to say even this place is the gold standard of communication. The upvote system, for example, is the major contributor to echo chamber hive mind mob thinking.
If the objective is to re-interpret long established laws to be mean something else, focusing on the grammatical details is as good of a justification as anything.
What's the barrier to entry? It's hardly a requirement to sell on Amazon. It's extremely straightforward to sell stuff on the internet these days.

Sellers are just complaining that they can't access Amazon's audience and do as they want. Luckily there's eBay, Shopify, Wix, etc. etc.
Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, break them all up. And for the love of crap, stop approving billion dollar mergers.
Because the “free for all” market that gave rise to Alex Jones and FOX news, etc. really improved American society…
That’s what I figured, you always lose in the end.
Nice work! Good to see another Godot convert on here as well :-)

It is great how quickly you can get something up & running & then iterate on it.
I think that recent history clearly shows, that any larger organization and especially any public organization should at minimum also have a Mastodon representation. One can argue a lot on how a certain social network is superior to Mastodon. And often enough, that is indeed true. But all social networks that are run by a single entity are at the mercy of that entity. They might completely change their policies at a whim.

With Mastodon though, you can run your own instance. No one can take that from you and you can guarantee that your content is reachable for anyone interested. That should be reason enough to support it, even if you also have a presence on other networks.

In a sense, this reminds me of the old competition between the web and more centralized services like bulletin boards. The web is not as integrated, but its winning power was, that everyone can set up a web page, you are not dependent on any organization to do so, which could prevent you doing it.
Honestly you can't trust a lot you see in ads. You can't even trust your manufacturer or the dealership selling the cars. Some brand new cars are sold with TSBs that haven't been fixed or addressed.

I don't think this is true at all. Where did you get this idea they'd charge money for reading and posting?
You have to remember, you (the car buyer, employee, or shopper) aren't the target for these awards. These award companies market to mid-senior level VPs who have spending power and want to approach senior company leaders with a good story for their end-of-year review & bonus evaluation.

Nothing quite like the HR Director saying "Well under my leadership we were rated as one of the top 100 companies to work for!" But the awards company only has 100 spots available to consider, and you have to pay the awards company to evaluate you...
> Meta's intention to federate Threads is pretty clearly an effort to counter that potential threat.

I'm starting to get the impression they aren't very serious about that. I expected if they were going to do it, they would have done it by now.

I don't expect the same of other products that have announced intent to federate such as Flickr and Tumblr, as they're much older codebases and the companies don't have Meta's resources.
Incredible, it's like having perfectly typed language without having to use types at all.
Few worries from my side:

- TypeScript gained traction partially because you could migrate an existing codebase to it. Does leporello support gradual migration from style that's not aligned with leporello to the supported subset? That is, how leporello handles a codebase that's partially written in freestyle JS and not the subset that leporello specify handles?

- How does it deal with patterns from popular frameworks or libraries that are borderline frameworks. React, Vue, Express, NestJS etc.

- It feels like leporello has to store a lot of possible branch-outs of the state. How would it handle frameworks code in this case? React on its own probably has a lot of branch-outs inside. Would it devour my RAM?

I’m a big fan of NextDNS, ad filters, logs (or not), block list, allow list, multiple profiles, parental-ish controls. They have binaries to add support for DoH to my router. I literally couldn’t be happier with a DNS provider.
No, that is the problem. They worked with less and less websites until there were none left. I needed to install some packages, which I could just put on my own server.

And I have an old Blackberry Bold that now show current electricity prices, so I know when to starte my washing machine. That can also run on own webserver.

Agreed, but it's curious it's still so effective. Perhaps much of the population thinks differently to many posting here and law enforcement relies on this.
It let's you deploy apps quickly and manage infrastructure without having to battle the AWS console and/or config files. A simple server (via most Rust frameworks) can be deployed by utilizing an annotation and then running `cargo shuttle deploy` whereas adding a resource, like a Postgres database for example, is also a matter of adding an additional annotation.
DNS latency sucks.
> I suppose it is easier to rotate those than bank cards though

When I asked for a Clubcard a few months ago they said they're not giving out any and you have to use the app.

Funny enough just after I asked I found one on the floor; I'm using that one.

I wouldn't go to Tesco if it wasn't for that, because the price differences are just insane. Before you had the points and whatnot but not the strong discounts (IIRC), then I didn't go to Tesco for a few years on account of being in a different country, and now it's a €3 "regular price" and "€1.50 club card price" for half the stuff I buy. wtf?!
From what I understand, it’s not that simple. Sellers need the sheer volume of Amazon to compete. There is also the risk of Amazon duplicating their product and continuing to sell it on their platform… or their competitors filling the void.
The visuals are perfect, looks very much like a CRT...nicely done.

I think I found a bug though...pair of Aces doesn't pay as "Jacks or Better": https://imgur.com/a/78B3oPV
I think it is just a matter of time till we detect some large enough megascale engineering projects, even with current detection technology.

Or even find out that some weird natural phenomenons might be actually results of such engineering endeavors.
So what? That's how e-commerce works. Why should Amazon be obligated to fill their store with higher priced items compared to their competitors? No one is going to visit a store where every item could be purchased cheaper somewhere else. This is exactly why price match is a thing, because they don't want their costumers soliciting different stores to begin with.

The move that Amazon's price be no higher than offered elsewhere is the most pro-consumer move possible. Hilarious people are complaining about it. Any second-order effects of this are on the actual seller, not Amazon.
Is it really that hard to control for the police presence?

Area A: We had 10 patrols of which 5 found drugs.
Area B: We had 30 patrols of which 12 found drugs.

I don't think it's too hard to notice that A is the better target for future controls, even though more drugs were found in B (when going by total numbers.)

I think people on the left don't really want to admit that there are areas and populations that do indeed warrant more searches than others.

Discover how much every tweet Worths in your TL $$
Hey hackers,

Have you ever wondered about the actual value of your tweets with the new monetization system? I certainly did, and that's why I created the browser extension, "How much Tweets are worth?"

- The Problem:
I've always been intrigued by the world of social media and the impact it has on our lives. But one thing that bothered me was not knowing the true value of my tweets. Sure, we can see the number of impressions, but what does that really mean in terms of potential earnings or reach value? I felt that this was a problem worth solving.

- The Solution:
I decided to take matters into my own hands and developed the "How much Tweets are worth?" extension. It's a simple tool that calculates the potential earnings of a tweet based on its impressions. With just a click, you can discover the monetary value your tweets could bring.

- How I Built It in 2 Hours:
The journey from idea to execution was surprisingly quick. Simple JS scraper keeping in mind the possible future changes of the DOM for it to work fine in future.

- User Feedback:
What surprised me the most was the positive response I received after releasing the extension. Users found it engaging and eye-opening. Many shared their excitement about finally understanding the potential value of their tweets. It's rewarding to see something I created making a difference in people's social media strategies.

So, if you're curious about the worth of your tweets or want to optimize your social media game, give the "How much Tweets are worth?" extension a try. I'm thrilled to have built something that adds value to the Twitterverse, and I hope you find it as valuable as I do.

Feel free to ask questions or share your thoughts—I'd love to hear your feedback!

Happy tweeting,

I don't know that his argument is based on essentialism since he goes on to describe algorithms which he considers artificially intelligent: "There are programs that can look at a photo of some magnified cells and tell you, with greater likelihood of being right than any human doctor, whether it’s cancerous or not,”. And he puts it in contrast to his previous statement about LLMs not being artifically intelligent.

It seems to me he wants people to look past the impressive facade of correct grammar and see that a lot of the LLMs often spew out bullshit. Personally I've seen them perform intelligence tasks, generate correct code and so forth. But I think many people ascribe to them a general intelligence that they don't have, which is why you see them quoted increasingly often online as if they were knowledgeable or correct-by-default.
I think you're right that the government does have 'limit the size of companies' as a motivation, but I don't think that's their main motivation.

For one thing, how would you even right and enforce a law on maximum size/impact of a company? How would this even politically get through? There's already enough push-back against enforcing laws like "don't form cartels". The pushback on maximum size/impact of a company would be even more intense.

In any case, as the article states, "Today, Amazon tells sellers that if it detects a lower price for their products on any other online store, they will be punished, which is to say, their ability to get their products onto a place on the Amazon website where customers click will go away.". In other words, e-commerce is not extremely competitive.

This project look like they are installing a 4000km cable between Australia and Singapore. With storage as well. But I thought you said long distance cables don’t work? That’s what you said.

Maybe you should let them know about the cloudy days? You said solar doesn’t work.

They mine uranium in that same part of Australia… why didn’t they choose nuclear? You said nuclear was better choice… because of weight!

Not leveraging spinning, we are installing solar globally because the sun shines everywhere. Can you point to country not installing solar?

You didn’t refute my math on panels, is it wrong? I’m happy to learn. Or you just trolling? (Your error earlier was thinking you needed to produce the whole years worth of electricity every second or hour? Hard to tell, but it’s off by multiple magnitudes… you don’t need to do that, you have a whole year to produce it)
Amazon doesn't need charity; they can afford to pay.
The original IGT binary version on EEPROM? Probably 2Mb, but also including all gaming machine monitoring code, attendant screens, device drivers, network protocols etc, with room to spare on the EEPROM.
Maybe I misunderstand, but this is a requirement for platforms to register (Apple, Google, Spotify, Twitter, etc).

The fear is of indirect censorship. As was the case with law enforcement/intelligence informally requesting take downs in the US, Canada will be making this process formal.
Clubhouse (now Shortcut - https://www.shortcut.com/) seemed nice when I was using it at one company.

But I guess the mystery to me is, without all the "extra" - how complex is this topic space, really? It feels like it's just a shim over something like Github issues so you can render the board, rather then anything else.
Tangentially related, even in YouTube Premium you can still see ads if the content creator embeds ads as part of their content. This seems like double-dipping to me and I am seeing more and more of this.

OK... naturally this is a political discussion; but I find the politics of this interesting and maybe even amusing. I don't live in DC and at don't really have a horse in this race but I sense a contradiction.

I think many would consider Washington D.C. to be governed solidly by American progressives. While the rationale for this law fits solidly within their views on egalitarianism, I wonder why no one is discussing another proclaimed progressive area of concern environmental impact and climate?

I have to think in this case cash must be significantly environmentally more impactful than the electronic payments. Cash requires a surprising amount of raw materials to produce, not all of which I expect to be environmentally friendly. Cash requires specialized transport, not just of the actual cash to and fro, but also of those raw materials. Sure electronic payments require power to operate, but I assure you hard cash is just as counted electronically as electronic payments. Disposal of used cash I expect to have its own unique environmental impacts.

In essence making each unit of currency physically real rather than electronic would seem to have unaccounted for negative externalities, something my more progressive friends go on and on about when convenient, which I don't even see getting lip service in relation to this law. Or maybe in the eyes of the progressive establishment enacting these laws climate just isn't nearly so important as equity/social justice?

Again, not my fight, and I think the vast majority of "negative externality" arguments are made for rhetorical points rather than referring to some well considered analysis not to be ignored... but I would be curious to understand how progressives decide which priorities are of greater urgency than environment and climate given how those issues are typically couched.

It is none of Amazons business what prices they put when they list their wares on other services, the only reason they care is that they want to crush the competition.

Dictating how retailers can interact with your competitors is anti-competitive. Dictating what prices they can offer when they put up listings is a part of that, it is anti-competitive.

Stop asking for cover letters. They're pointless, no one reads them, and they're not particularly helpful in determining a candidate's fitness.

From an applicant perspective, it's asking for free labor to require a cover letter, and using AI to write them is a proportional response.

This is a good thing, and those sellers can leave Amazon.

As if the two are connected. But my point is that scientific notation is not part of the metric system at all. If you problem is with scientific notation, that is a problem with scientific notation, not metric.

If anything, with metric units most people outside of the sciences will use the metric prefixes and never ever use scientific notation at all.

Plus there is a ton of work to now combine LLMs with their excellent language abilities to more formal systems based on rules, ontologies and (fuzzy) logic.
LLMs showed that this type of networks can likely solve one aspect if intelligence, the ability to handle language, that previous approaches were all extremely bad at. Doesn't mean that this approach is good for all other aspects of intelligence, but it turns out it is not too bad at information retrieval as well and a few other things. And other kind of networks also showed excellent abilities in other aspects like vision.
You are moving the goal posts. Before it was retail transactions and now it is bill pay.
Genuine question, what's bad about FP in your opinion? Do you disagree with using any of its parts or the general approach where people try to force a completely pure FP? Is using .map operator already too much? Where do you draw the line?
Nobody is forcing anyone to watch it. Many people watch it voluntarily. If we are so sure that these media are so bad for people, why are so many people still watching it?

If the answer is that these media "hack" the human brain, then I don't think that banning the producers is the right way to go. The root cause is that people are too easily tricked. Banning the producers will only cause other media, such as YouTube or Facebook, to fill the gap.
