There is no reason to believe that, because there is no precedent either way for online social media as social media did not exist before the passage of the law. If looking at offline media that publishes submissions from users this opinion is absolutely false.

It got SO BAD [the corruption] recently that our city/county (Chatt/Hamilton Co.) elected mayors/DAs that only recently began gray-hairing. From memory, the ages went from averaging 60 to 45. I'm not even 40, and one of our best local judges is my age!
I actually disagree with large swaths of the article, but on these points:

> 1. The author posits the idea that we will become boring or unlikeable, even if we were not this way before. I personally don't see that take place in my surroundings. People's personalities don't tend to change too much, and barring some radical illness such as dementia (which the author mentions), I find it hard to believe that someone generally found as interesting would become boring after a certain amount of time.

When you work 40+ hours a week and are raising kids, there's a limit to how boring and unlikable you can be just because you are inflicting yourself on others less often.

> 2. The author points out the dichotomy between people wanting independence from community for most of their lives, while also wanting care when they are in need, but from my experience, people who desire independence strongly also desire it in times of weakness. I know many people in my extended family who have been independent and they continue to ask for nothing and want nothing even as their bodies fail.

I think if you change "wanting care" to "needing care" then the dichotomy stands. I'm seeing it right now with my extended family.

> I'm also a little confused as to the notion of people desiring independence from community. While I know many people that desired independence from local community microcosms, such as church, small rural towns, or disagreeable family, many of those people still want community. I really am not seeing the issue that this author refers to in the article of people essentially wanting to be independent and optional from all communities in order to maintain wealth. In my experience the main issue people are having is that we don't have ready made replacements to traditional communities and online communities are not fulfilling the social requirements of being a human.

I agree that I don't see people "wanting to be independent ... in order to maintain wealth" but the concept that those who are more independent can build wealth faster seems believable. I do see people wanting to be independent because of the downsides of community (e.g. the proverbial "gossipy neighbors" who will make your communal life miserable if you do not placate them).

I also think that non-family community has been greatly demolished because people have found substitutes for many of the upsides of community; not just with wealth affording living alone, but with entertainment replacing various community activities; bowling leagues, fraternal organizations, even sitting at a bar drinking beer with friends have been in steady decline since the invention of the Television.

People aren't avoiding the pro-social behaviors pined about in the article to sit in the darkness, lonely twiddling their thumbs. They are playing video games, watching TV/videos, and doom scrolling.
LLaVA, Whisper and a few bash scripts should be able to do it. I don't know how helpful the model is with screenshots though.

BTW: Indie voters typically strongly align on one or other side of the partisan divide despite their self-assigned labels. The nature of the two-party system is it binarizes the entire discourse and ends up reproducing the bipartisan dynamics by restricting and chopping up the Overton window according to the two major lines of thought. For more true independence you'll need proportional representation and multiple parties. The problem would (does) still exist but across a wider spectrum of opinion.
Just because they write that doesn't make it legally enforceable. You can't agree to terms you don't know. Which is why many services will haunt you to explicitly agree to the new ToS when you next log in.

And even if you click agree there are legal questions about how much that can change about your past relationship, and what kind of changes you can legally make.

We’ve had a slew of “we need to end remote work to support downtown businesses” pieces in the local news, but almost every time there is an article about a business closing there will be a paragraph tucked in at the bottom that their landlord had refused to negotiate on a massive rent increase.

I think the answer has to be a punitive vacancy tax: like if a commercial restaurant space is idle for 3 months, the tax rate for every property with the same commercial owner goes up every month. These properties being idle has ripple effects throughout a neighborhood which shouldn’t take years to recover.

2) What sort of people are you looking for / to work with?

3) Would it need to be full-time? Are you looking to hire people full time (the generalists you mention), or are you comfortable working with people who are happy not cashing a cheque from you because they have jobs and other commitments / priorities, but still believe in what you are building and would like to invest significant time in supporting / driving the mission forward for some limited (or no) financial compensation?

Unreal Tournament I also has a lot of mods so I'd extend the line to around year 2000.

It is a bit unique as somehow the package includes all of the code of Unreal Gold (or something close) so modders can easily add single player contents. The editor is also far superior than the VB one bundled with Unreal I.

US telecoms certainly use sketchy tactics to push price increases on their monthly billed customers over time, but it's hard to say they are price gouging. Most are publicly traded and their operating and net margins can be found with a quick Google search. Spectrum for instance sits at 9.24% net margins currently. Wipe that out completely and your bill doesn't get much cheaper.
In most codecs the entropy coder doesn't reset across frames, so there is enough freedom that you can do multithreaded decoding. ffmpeg has frame-based and slice-based threading for this.

It also has a lossless codec ffv1 where the entropy coder doesn't reset, so it truly can't be multithreaded.
Same as Twitter before Musk.

Basically the meme of Javascript / React devs making everything complicated is amplified at really large scale in a lot of these companies and there is a lot of truth to this.

Yes, you're of course right—and at the same time, if I ask myself how to follow HN's core principle [1] in relation to this topic, I can't see "don't touch it at all" as right either. It may be an impossible quandary—but it's not in the spirit of this place to take an easy way out; or to put it differently, the easy way out (if one exists) is not in the spirit of this place.

What does "curiosity" mean in a context like this? It certainly needs to be more than just a technical dissection of details. I think it has to do with being open to learning. For that we have to be open to each other. And for that, we have to first find some space for the other within ourselves. Comments that have to do with annihilating the other (including in virtual form, such as by defeating them in internet battle) are therefore off-topic in a thread like this, as I posted above.

(Edit: there's also a kind of curiosity in walking into the impossible to find out what's doable; and also in taking a different approach with each attempt—which is why my pinned comment in this thread is different from last time.)

I'm not sure the Canadian government ever pretended to 'fight for the people'. 'Rights' in Canada are completely different to what most consider a right and mean something very different to rights in the US. The Canadian government model is characterized by 'Peace, order and good governance' - it just so happens that 'good governance' means protectionist policies for this administration.

So you're saying: Clearly not an urban myth.

Google literally bought Motorola for their patent portfolio -- or at least, that's the only "asset" they retained when divesting of the company years later. And I readily admit: Google is a "be less evil" player in this respect. (But not all: See wage fixing collusion verdicts.)

At some point, we have to acknowledge that patents are pursued purely in the spirit of mutually-assured destruction from other litigious players. This manifests as a tax on everyone -- the only people that win are attorneys.

My question isn't about how visible drug addiction is but any actual metrics that can compare actual drug addiction rates and prevalence between places with decriminalization and those without.

> But there is a difference: Big property companies can keep doing business after they default and are even considered savvy for jettisoning distressed buildings. But homeowners who stopped paying their mortgages suffered a huge hit to their credit ratings

If the terms of a contract say I can hand over the property to the bank and walk away liability free, then I shouldn't take any kind of reputational hit (credit rating) for doing so.

It's kinda sad that lawmakers and courts haven't done anything to rectify that.

I tried to build this a few years ago using Salesforce’s webhooks and discovered that low-value tenants are on shared infrastructure where things like scheduled jobs can run instantly… or 10 minutes later, and Salesforce make no guarantees about when things will happen — making any attempt to use Salesforce as a source of truth unreliable.

The polling solution is neat but I am imagining it’ll run into issues with API limits and performance, especially for tenants on shared infrastructure: have you encountered that? Are you limited to working with customers that are paying Salesforce enough to have fast/reliable infrastructure?

(I don’t think it’s a problem for your success as your product is most valuable to those paying Salesforce for reliability, I’m just curious how you are thinking about the problems I gave up on! Maybe things with Salesforce have changed in the last 5 years.)
How do they know what to charge you? There is some billing system that has all the taxes and fees in it to apply to your bill and there are 3rd parties SaaS companies that solve taxes for business like Avalara that will give a break down of all the taxes it applied to a given address.

I would throw insurance into this mix too. At the end of the day, the government is on the hook for rolling out money when there are major disasters, so why not just start there instead of backstop there? How about we pool all our money in one big place (the government) instead of spreading it around in a bunch of smaller pools with different rules (private insurance).

In 1945, the government of Saskatchewan (Canada) recognized this and has been handling province wide insurance since then (Health, Home, Auto, etc). This has meant drastically lower insurance rates, because they aim to operate with no profit, and you don't have insurance companies suing each other for damages because everyone has the same insurance company. It creates lots of jobs, and better service for the residents.

States like Florida, California, North Carolina, and others have had to start their own insurance companies to handle residents who cannot get fire/flood/hurricane/etc insurance from a private insurance company because the private insurance companies have decided the risk is too high.

It seems silly to maintain this broken patchwork system when there are several examples of governments creating entities to handle these ubiquitous needs in a better way.
This is actually a pretty good use of the data if its done by a university for a study or the NIH in a nonprofit capacity. Using prescription data on insurance to see outcomes at a societial level for prescriptions since it's all in one place.

Of course life insurance companies will instead use the data to decide someone's premiums or whether to give them life insurance at all if a prescription shows up on that persons history when they try to sign up.
I don't think theres one simple conclusion to this ongoing general question of pre-history vs modernity but I remember coming across the infanticide and geriatricide rates in pre-agricultural societies (not that they were / are all the same) at some point and having it complicate my thinking pretty drastically.

The article covers this:

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, regulates how health information is used and exchanged among “covered entities” such as hospitals and doctor’s offices.

I'm familiar with security (I keep a copy of Applied Cryptography on my shelf for "fun reading") and tech, here's a copy of my whole genome:
https://my.pgp-hms.org/profile/hu80855C
Note it's a full human genome, far more data than a 23&Me report. You can download the data yourself and try to find risk factors (at the time, the genetic counsellors were surprised to find that I had no credible genetic risk factors).

Please let me know in technical terms, combined with rational argument, why what I did was unwise. Presume I already know all the common arguments, evaluated them using my background knowledge (which includes a PhD in biology, extensive experience in human genome analysis, and years of launching products in tech).

I've been asking people to come up with coherent arguments for genome secrecy (given the technical knowledge we have of privacy, both in tech and medicine) and nobody has managed to come up with anything that I hadn't heard before, typically variations on "well, gattaca, and maybe something else we can't predict, or insurance, or something something".

The replies to this comment surprise me a bit. I'm in a similar situation as you. I used to play video games all the time as a teenager. When I went to university, I stopped playing at all. In hindsight, it was a mix of inconvenience (I wouldn't dare to bring a desktop to a tiny dorm, and good luck playing on a laptop!) and the fact that I wanted to try many things that were new to me at the time. Even then, I still lack motivation to try downloading and play a game. None of my coworkers seem to play games regularly either. There are plenty of social activities one can do that isn't gaming.
The real issue is that lawyer can “try” anything with almost no consequences.
