Twitter has started giving some users a portion of ad revenue, for ads beside their tweets [1]. Which would presumably mean that more tweets, and more followers, mean more money.

Of course, on most platforms only a tiny fraction of influencers make a decent living. So it's certainly not the case that everyone is making money.

Abdominal stuff often involves CT scans that need to be done in phases. For brain stuff, some things require CT vs MRI.

Another risk is the contrast dye that’s often used in these studies. If you’re dealing with cancer monitoring or something that requires monitoring, you can develop allergies and poor reactions to that as well.
It's true but I'm not sure youtube creators ever really claimed to be "authentic", a lot of them are acting as presenters and always have been. Twitter was always more towards "this is the real me"?
The reality is, this is just not a functional pathway for the majority of people. So it’s not a solution

It might be possible for some minority that has a particular penchant for this type of work, but neither the jobs nor the training exist at such scale that would be able to absorb the entirety of the driver workforce into the “write software for automated driving“ job.

> it's the exact amount of money that would stop the idle masses from burning down the city.

That seems awfully pessimistic. There's a couple different reasons

- To stop the masses from uprising (as noted)

- Because the health of the society as a whole depends on the health of the people in the society. And sometimes you need safety nets for the people in that society, because people can't always do for themselves. Fire departments, unemployment, health care, education; these all fall into that category in one way or another. Some places provide all of these, some provide none, and most provide somewhere in the middle. In the end, we provide for those that can't because it's better for the society that we live in if we do. And we are all served by a better healthier society.
The tone in this article is annoying and distracting. Why did the editor of the verge allow this article to be published? This reads like a weird blog post, not a professional piece of journalism.

There are absolutely zero issue with Hungarian minority in Serbia. Presevo valley is whole other issue due to Kosovo and issues there where Serbs are regularly persecuted on a daily basis. Also, Albanians in the south of Serbia have higher autonomy than Serbs in Kosovo at the moment for example.

It's interesting how roles in Kosovo reversed. Albanians being persecuted by Serbian authorities in the 80' and 90' and Albanians taking up arms and we have Serbs today taking up arms after being persecuted by Albanian authorities. Somehow though when Albanians are doing it it's allright ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Please don't add to the hate. People there don't need this.

It depends a lot on the prosecutor and how well the trial went, they have to decide to take the trial up again and after the first swing they've lost a significant portion of their advantage because the defense has had a preview of the evidence and tactics that's going to be used against them.
Kick ass project, been following bcantril since before Joyent and as a (server/infra + sysadmin nerd this really hits home): Are there plans to build some public-cloud-esque software add-ons to offer cloud-native equivalents to s3, serverless-functions, message queues, etc?

I feel like the "running your own datacenter" complexity of on prem is a big part of why companies go to the cloud in the first place - but that a good amount of cloud lock-in is actually in the software/service stack and reliance on it. I know there is a competent open source option for most of these services (and in fact most are repackaged open source software...), but they do seem pretty disparate and require quite a fair bit of knowledge and expertise to deploy and run at scale.

Secondary question in the same thread: What about "accounting"? Running infrastructure at large-scale companies (such that would look at a rack-level solution) usually entails budgeting and accounting of resources - how does oxide simplify this for infrastructure ops trying to keep the various IT consumers honest?
Not really. Java was built from the start to run on microcontrollers and is still running fine on billion of small phones. It is now powering the apps inside a billion android devices.

You are likely referring to awful enterprise frameworks like Spring that make a lot of noise. Some ten years ago it was JBoss giving a bad fame to Java. You won't be finding those enterprise frameworks being used by most open source projects.

For those cases Java is kept clean and fast, as it should.

> An insurrection like January 6th would suceed in the UK

The US situation can't arise in the UK because they cut the three key roles up differently

In the US the Figurehead and Executive Leader are one man (the US President in this case Donald Trump) in the UK the Figurehead is the Monarch (ie today King Charles) and the Executive Leader is the Prime Minister, who is also Legislative Leader (and historically both these jobs are sometimes done by women). Both countries bizarrely assign multiple jobs with different required skill sets to the same person, which would be understandable if they were tiny nations with a small population but they aren't. However which roles are split this way is crucially different.

The problem on January 6th in the US is that the Executive Leader wants to destroy the Legislature. Yes his Secret Service persuades him not to accompany the insurrectionists, but they're doing what he told them to do.

That can't happen in the UK because the Executive Leader is the leader of the Legislature. If the Legislature don't think he should be leader, they can get rid of him, and not via some "arcane bullshit" but with almost the simplest possible motion,

"That This House Has No Confidence In His [or Her] Majesty's Government".
They'd retry him. They retry non-famous people with less serious charges and worse cases. Plus there's no other way to get that scarlet letter off the prosecutor's record.
Yeah I forget the exact quote & attribution but theres a saying that holds true for any of these big names -

Reputation is still valuable over time. Some YouTube creators I ignore irregardless of the thumbnail, while other content creators get a click automatically. The same happens with websites and everywhere else in the attention economy.
No, in the same way lawyers and the judge can decide ahead of time not to admit an unqualified expert witness, or to dismiss the jury for someone like Darrell Brooks representing himself by bringing up irrelevant information and hearsay which is inadmissible in court. If someone says the wrong thing in front of the jury it is somewhat difficult to erase it from their brains or to convene a new jury.
That Michael Lewis did this still puzzles me.
Sorry, I didn't mean to say that the tools were 100% useless broadly speaking. In this specific event, they were. The chart says it all: https://theeyewall.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/102623-int...

That's nine different prediction models, of which zero predicted anything resembling reality.

Sure, there was less data available than in other areas. Sure, there was less ground radar. Sure, fewer eye flights were made. But there have been other storms with a similar dearth of data; never before have all predictive models been so very wrong.
Functions in Zig can be called both in runtime and in compile-time. You can force some expression to be called during comptime using a keyword, and sometimes the comptime is implied (like when you define top-level const)

If a function is called in comptime, it can also return types. So for example:

// this is a function which accepts a type
// if you accept type, you also have to restrict the arg to be comptime
// if the arg is comptime it still does not mean that the function cannot be called in runtime,
// but in this case, it returns type, so it is comptime-only function
// there are also cases where this is not true, like std.mem.eql(u8, a, b) which accepts type,
// but can be called in runtime because it does not return type
fn Wrapper(comptime T: type) type {
return struct { value: T };
}

const F32Wrapper = Wrapper(f32);

// @TypeOf(x.value) == f32
var x: F32Wrapper = .{ value: 1.0 }
Nowadays you can pay a mobile mechanic to come work on your car for a very reasonable rate in most urban areas. I find doing this is usually at least 75% cheaper than the dealerships and much more convenient.

I still do minor repairs and things like battery swaps myself and keep an OBD reader in the car for preliminary investigation and research before I call the mechanic. But otherwise I probably average less than $1k USD per year on vehicle maintenance and repairs, tires oil included.

Obviously this excludes things like transmission swaps but those are ideally once in a decade occurrences with proper care and maintenance otherwise
Yeah but Ford just cancelled F150 lightning orders in the US & Canada again. How many production shutdowns are they going to deal with for quality issues per year?

Also it's weird to be pushing EVs in areas where they aren't wanted (trucks, motorcycles). Harley Davidson just reported that their electric bike model sold 69 units globally in the last quarter of 2022...That's basically nothing. Their yearly goals are like 500 units.
what other stack would you pick if it also had admin?
Not sure of why it was done then, but currently for accessibility a link says, "This takes you to another page / URL" while a button says, "This performs some action / triggers some event."

If everything and anything is clickable, how does technology that supports accessibility handle that? Note: This isn't a way-a-figure-you-fool question. Not at all. It's a sincere question in the sense that accessibility matters, we can't forget that. So if we change, how can we be certain accessibility isn't left behind?
So if I like apples more than oranges, I write a blog post saying I like apples and won't eat oranges, and I also have a business selling apples...it's a conflict of interest?

Journals. One for work, one for personal. I searched a lot on the matter and came up with 'codes' (square is task, triangle is meeting, !, ?)(squares and triangles are striken off or crossed out depending on Completed or Cancelled). Date, topic, participants in red. Text in blue.

For individual tasks (buy milk, empty washing machine, etc.) I use visual queue. Laundry room door open = washer/dryer. Post-it notes on the door, so before I exit I remember to take X thing with me. Also shopping list goes on post-it and at door.

Because I am getting old and stupid, I also stick a post-it the 'previous night' on what I plan to have tomorrow for lunch (e.g. 'steak, 2 eggs, 2 carrots'). I usually plan my day the previous night, so I plan stuff, spread out post-it notes and I don't have to 'think' the next day.

Based on a lot of the responses here, I feel compelled to say: saying "Copying is not theft" is not the same thing as saying "People should violate copyright law".

I feel that "copying is not theft" is a truth that needs to be clarified because a lot of discussion around copyright and piracy tends to conflate copying and theft, which makes it natural to skew towards the point of view that the unauthorized sharing of content and ideas is an objectively immoral act, and paint the issue of piracy in terms of right and wrong, as opposed to legal vs. illegal. Whereas in my point of view, copyright law is an artificial construct that we as a society have chosen to enact, in order to support a certain model for financially compensating those who make creative works. Other societies may choose differently; copyright law is not a reflection of natural, fundamental morality regarding the sharing of ideas and creative works.

In conclusion, when I personally say "copying is not theft", I'm simply saying, let's not conflate the issues, so we can have a more nuanced discussion. I'm not advocating piracy. And I would encourage others not to interpret "copying is not theft" that way.

GAS can be very economical if you buy used high end gear. If like me you change hobbies every 2-3 years you can sell the high end gear for what you bought it for. GFS is much more expensive as your custom built stuff has very little resale value, even if acquisition costs originally were cheaper the resale is Usally a fraction of cost.
What's crazy to me is that his parents are lawyers and they both acquiesced or abetted his illegal behavior and now his atrocious defense of said illegal behavior. Not to mention that they benefited from it the whole way.

Reminiscent of this joke (see e.g. http://xenohistorian.faithweb.com/holybook/quotes/Horse.html)

Once upon a time a man was accused of a crime. [..] The king of that land sentenced the man to death, and he pleaded for his life, offering to teach the king's horse to talk if he would be spared. The king agreed; if the accused could teach the horse to talk in two years, he would be pardoned. Otherwise, the original sentence would be carried out.

Sometime after that, the man's best friend asked him why he made a promise he couldn't keep, and why he was acting so cheerful about the whole business. The would-be horse teacher said, "A lot can happen in two years. The king could die. I could die. Or the horse could talk."
I'm from this area!

I feel like this is partly publicity, and partly some anti-tourism sentiment. The North Georgia mountains have had a huge explosion in tourism over the last 5 or so years. And with remote work everyone from Atlanta is moving up there. Blueridge used to be a 2 restaurant town and now no-one can afford to live there anymore.
I’m not sure whether to call what we have now “nuanced” or whether it isn’t a result of that movement having mostly lost the fight some decade plus, though. Tried using a public library recently?
For local/single-instance apps? Heck yeah, sqlite is a great choice. Just wrap all your queries behind functions in a db.py file and never think about application state until you’re forced to. SQLAlchemy is tempting, but honestly sql is already easy enough that I’ve found I spend far less time just writing plain sql queries.

Most important thing is to get your actual application idea functioning quickly. Sqlite is fast to work with and low maintenance (your db is one file), and later if you found you made a mistake (too slow, no support for advanced sql features you need, you want concurrent access across multiple boxes) you can write a program to migrate your data in a single afternoon. Wasting time on more complex solutions early on is a pitfall that has stolen years of project time from me, just avoid misusing dependencies too badly and get your thing working first.
Show HN: A local Python prototyping tool for Jupyter and Streamlit
Hey HN! I built a local Python prototyping tool that is finally the Python development environment I've always wanted.

It has a Jupyter notebook for data crunching, a database of your choice (Python or MongoDB), and a Streamlit app for building a frontend visualization. You can edit the Streamlit backend via an embedded VSCode editor, or locally on your own IDE.

The best part for me is that the database connectors within Jupyter and Streamlit are configured out-of-the-box, so you don't need to spend time thinking about how to tie all that together - you can just pick the database you want to use and get going.

Disclaimer: I do also work on the tool that deploys all this under the hood, but this project is a personal hackweek project that I threw together so I could develop Python apps on my own
> Not sure why kids living with their parents is any different than a married couple living together.

Lol; because kids have no agency, of course. They didn't choose where to live and how, their name is not on the deed. They are disenfranchised from the system.

> a much larger majority of voters own homes.

I do not disagree there, but you ignore minorities at your peril. You don't need 50% of voters to create serious political turbulence; in fact, you don't even need 10%.
Just made the assumption, because why do you need a train to a non major airport when a bus will do.

If your city doesn’t host a large airport, then it probably doesn’t make sense to have a train system either. And I’m quite confident there’s a bus to the airport in just about any city that has one.
Both of those until very recently were extremely expensive to the point of luxury for many, as well as much more difficult to effectively use a lot of cheap and easily.

Effectively zero people are chugging bottles of Olive Oil they buy from the corner store.

There just is no comparison whatsoever to modern processed foods set for immediate consumption and tuned for maximum taste and pleasure response.

Edit: to refute some other points downthread.

> the cost of edible oil has not been a bar to access to calorie-dense foods for at least centuries if not millennia

I believe this to be false. Even my grandparents saw things like olive oil and real butter as luxury items. Crisco started to exist because it was cheap. It took hours of work to turn these items into palatable calorie-dense foods, if that was even the outcome.

Today? The average working class person goes out to fast food multiple times per week. This was a luxury even in my time growing up. Culture has simply changed, and (bad) food has gotten to be incredibly cheap and easy to access.

> it seems to closely follow industrially-mass-produced foods, but the relevant feature of those foods is clearly not that they are more convenient or higher in calorie density than a can of crisco or an amphora of olive oil; they aren't

I'm not sure how you could come to such a conclusion? That is pretty much the sole feature of those foods. Readily available highly-addictive and highly calorie dense foods fit for immediate (or near it) consumption. No magic woo-woo explanations needed. We simply teleported society into a place literally surrounded by cheap easy to access food typically hundreds of feet away at any given time and then wondered what happened to "willpower" as if it ever existed in such a manner.

This reeks of personal taste and bias. “Django jobs pay less”? Yes, I suppose in comparison to C#/.NET jobs in corporates. To not send your daughter to Django Girls because of your personal language bias is completely lost on me. Django Girls isn’t even about learning Django. The benefit your kid is getting from that, the skills they’re really learning, are transferable. C#/.NET is just about inarguably a less approachable platform for a beginner looking to develop rapidly and have fun doing it. Python by itself just has a much lower barrier to entry. Again…it sounds like you’re not taking your personal tastes and familiarity into consideration nearly as much as you should be.

You’ve also entirely missed the point of Django admin. It is not your app. It is not your project. It’s intended as a crutch. The fact that it integrates with your ‘front-end’ code, in a way that a no-code platform popped in front of your database does not, is literally its main selling point.
> our DM has been utilizing Midjourney for character tokens for the bad guys

I don't think, in all my years of role playing, I've _ever_ seen an image of one of the NPCs in our stories; at least outside of the rare store-bought adventures. Or, at least that I can recall, an image of _anything_ in our campaigns. Everything was verbally described.

I wasn't even aware people generated pictures for home-grown adventures/campaigns.
