> By “forbid it” I meant “make it illegal”

Yes, I understand that.

> not as in “big government tell everyone what to do”, but as in “let the market do its job properly”

You are missing a crucial point: the current state of Big Social Media is a product of a free market. Users freely choose to take advantage of the opportunity to use these services without paying for them. "Making it illegal" would mean telling all those users that they can no longer make that choice because the government is taking it away, by passing laws that prevent Big Social Media from offering their services for free. And of course Big Social Media will play that for all it's worth in the political debate that would precede the hypothetical passage of any such law. Not to mention that such a law would also be outlawing all the other tech startups that would benefit from a "freemium" business model.

My prediction is that any such law would be taken off the table due to political pressure long before it got anywhere near actually being passed. But in any case, saying that the law is just to "let the market do its job properly" is obviously wrong. "Free market" doesn't mean you get to outlaw freely chosen transactions that you don't like.

> If it’s illegal, they would have no other choice would they!

If we assume the law you propose actually works and isn't gamed (which is already a big if), my prediction is that Big Social Media would either pivot to some new thing that they could charge for (LLM-based "AI", perhaps), or take their cash and effectively go out of business. I don't think they would just say "oh, well" and actually do the hard work it would take to make all their users paying customers.
Ha. You have far too high opinion of the field of biology. Go look at the current Dana Farber mess.

I don't think so. Valid criticisms of high-profile tech figures are often flagged by cultish followers.

They had a good track record in court when they were American. As soon as a foreign company bought them, juries found an appetite to convict and impose freakishly large damages.

Most bay area politicians are like that though.
As a Tupac fan and lover of print news, I think this article encapsulates what's wrong with modern media: the selective use of context to engender a political stance, from which outage is engendered

The problem isn't social media or long-form print news, but the 24-hour news cycle in my humble opinion. As we saw in the case of that shocking bombing of a Palestinian hospital, I've increasingly felt that once reputable media companies have prioritized returns (eyeballs) over news. Indeed, many of these paragraph long 24-hour updates reuse the same sentence structure I noticed.

Wouldn't be surprised if the average age of HN means most have not seen Office Space.
I have a ticwatch pro 3, and I have mixed feelings about it.

I was pretty happy with it early on, but the software was always a little hit-and-mis. In particular the Google voice assistant stopped working a year or so ago, and when they finally rolled out the WearOS 3 update a few weeks ago, it just removed that feature (and several others) rather than fixing it.

I am a big fan of the dual-display with a super-low-power, sunlight-readable LCD and a richer OLED behind it.

I also really liked having a user-assignable hardware button, although mine stopped working after a couple of years, and apparently the WearOS 3.0 "upgrade" took away that feature too.
Thanks, had a laugh!
I think the reference is to Office Space the movie not a television show?
As a person working in a large exception-free C++ environment, I'm all ears.
Speaking of Tupac, specifically diss tracks, the original version of When We Ride On Our Enemies is probably my favorite.

High Til I Die is another good one, not a diss track

When I was in high school in the early/mid 2000s, there was a series Tupac bootlegs going around. Makaveli 1 - ¿10ish? That's all on YouTube now and probably torrents. Songs getting leaked on message boards too. He put out so much good material in such a short span of time. He was working on collabs with Boot Camp Clik and some other east coast guys and was supposed to do more stuff with Bone Thugs. He had a compilation album he was working on called One Nation that was supposed to end the stupid East/West thing. Which reminds me, it blew my mind when I could get on myspace and talk to one of the guys from Boot Camp Clik about it.

It was a listing of apps on the Spotify platform.

The main point is, Spotify has a platform, like Apple, but is throwing stones from a glass house when it comes to trying to build on the platform.

Most of the integrations do not have anything to do with using the copyrighted music, e.g. a playlist export app.
>You appear to have linked to an anime. We’re discussing video games.

The anime is called Pokemon. This is the source material for which all the Pokemon games are derived from and strive to imitate in style.

Any writing in a video game on Pokemon is equivalent (or worse) in quality and style to the original anime which all Pokemon games are based on.

>Simple sentences are great for simple ideas. Most video games, including most RPGs, only have simple ideas.

Writing isn't only about ideas. That's what research is about. Presenting facts, figures, results and ideas. For stories there needs to more irrational fluff. The writing needs to be immersive, emotive and vivid, eloquent, etc. Most people would agree with me on this matter.

I would say you're the one who has a different preference here.
Energy density of gasoline by weight is >3x worse. We just haven't been good about putting that to use. RIP VentureStar.

Personally I'm just tired of this discussion around energy density being brought up every time transportation is mentioned. These conversations almost never surface interesting new points.
I was thinking Mike Judge's TV show Silicon Valley as well as Office Space
It's beside the point. The point is that corporations are pedaling a "gas bad solar good" blanket statement where anyone that asks for critical thinking on the issue is immediately downvoted, like I have been. Meanwhile my forest is being leveled for solar. It's not a win for anyone but the moneymakers.
But, I mean, "without me" is a straight banger! Why wouldn't a wannabe genius (Misk) quote an actual genius (Eminem)
Sounds like you weren't working with C++'s string API. std::string knows nothing about the encoding of the data it encapsulates and can be used to store anything. There are the codecvt functions but it doesn't sound like you're talking about those, either.
That is all "synchronous" - the heuristics available in the meta-game itself.

Back then the document object in javascript were way to powerful because everyone was so naive.

Internet Explorer knew/could easily infer its absolute coordinates from the origin on the desktop, would gladly serve the majority of your C: drive to any website that asked nicely enough, and a plethora of now-incredulous things.

It was possible to know if you had moved the window by dragging or by Cascade windows, had another window (this was before tabs were invented) that was being referenced nearly every turn, or even if the user had referenced an application from the Start Menu.

That was all the stuff that "wasn't" supposed to be done. The obvious, yet cat-and-mouse tricks, such as mouse/keyboard jitter, fingerprinting profiles, style/chat stylelemoetry, behavior meta-game analysis, were in their relative infancy, but were making strides.
Didn’t read the article because of the paywall, but I’d be surprised if the article mentions this. Mission local is a very pro the board of directors, and if you don’t live in SF, they are absolutely terrible. They don’t deserve to die, but they absolutely deserve to be kicked out.

It's actually a great example of how we just associate French names with 'fancy'. If you saw a bottle of an alcoholic drink for sale under the name "Pope's Newcastle" you'd be forgiven for assuming it was a down-to-earth real ale.

Newcastle United's goalkeeper is called Nick Pope. Perhaps he should go by the name Pape-du-Châteauneuf.

I’ve always thought it was curious that it’s often male bands like U2 that are the most celebrated, versus female solo performers like Madonna. Not that there aren’t exceptions (and hip hop is a whole other thing), but it seems to be a trope in pop and rock music.
And artist could choose not to use labels, if they figured they would make more money that way.

So the critique should be aimed at labels, not Spotify.
I didn’t get the reference but obviously don’t think Garry Tan wants the supervisors to die. That said, I don’t have a lot of empathy for him given his behavior when the roles were reversed:

> In the past, Tan has not been receptive to jokes about him: When commenting on San Francisco community organizer Julian La Rosa, who had said that “millionaires and landlords should be guillotined,” Tan seemed to take the jest deadly seriously.

> “This is not a joke,” he posted. “This guy wants to guillotine people.”

> “This kind of stuff should have zero place in San Francisco politics,” he later said. He has repeatedly gone back to La Rosa’s joke as evidence of violence among San Francisco’s left.

I personally can say I’ve never felt the urge to tell people to die (seriously or jokingly) on social media
Maybe because it's not actually very good? It's extremely partisan and conspiratorial, and doesn't actually document or explain much of anything, beyond "Bush bad". It's not surprising that a "Bush bad" film did very well in the aftermath of the Iraq War and the brazen lies from the Bush administration to sell it, but that doesn't mean it's actually a good documentary, or that it has lasting value.

I watched it back in 2004 and thought it was just brilliant, but I watched it again last year and I found it shocking just how incredibly conspiratorial and superficial it is. I do not consider it to be a serious documentary.
Make me think more

This world has too many politically correct corporate drones. And their work is boring.

The first version evolves over time to new requirements, which introduces cruft as you can never prepare your code to be extended to every new requirement. Subsequent versions/rewrites benefit from that history. Using the existing version as a complete spec, and the history of evolutions as a clue to how to set up extendability, gives re-writes a distinct advantage in producing better code.
I'm a little worried that if we implement the "service guarantees citizenship" scheme you allude to, we'll be forced to fight a war against an interstellar insect race soon after.
No problem. Apologies that it got heated and I hope you aren't leaving because of that.

To explain I only raised the temperature because you said what I said was silly and because you mocked me with the whole, "man" thing. Did not appreciate that all and I thought it was fucking rude. Wasn't that offended by it though, but I did raise the temperature in kind.

Just saying all this in case you're leaving because of that. I wanted to explain my side. If you're not leaving because of that please ignore. Good day to you too either way.
I keep hearing about it being military-aged men whom are illegally emigrating to the u.s., and low recruiting would seem like a low-hanging fruit in the form of conscription for immigrants.

I mean it also would afford their actual stations more contract labor in non-military support roles at their posts for their spouses. Also would reduce recruitment costs as you wouldn’t need so many incentives to get em through the door, reduce over-crowded shelters, and the kind of people willing to serve and improve their station are the kind of immigrants we profess to want.
We'd have to do private bi-directional NAT44. NAT is expensive to run and is one of those things that always breaks. It could work but it basically just makes permanent tech debt that will frustrate maintenance forever.

It also only really works when it's a 1:1 scale, as you add more networks the configuration grows with N^2.

"Crack House USA" was quite the accomplishment in my opinion.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. The global and national cancer trends don't track Roundup entering the food system or the agricultural sector.

No I didn’t say that or allude to it, voluntary conscripted amnesty. They would still have to naturalize as well, and only offer that after a sufficient period of service and all the rigors of training, ait, and actual term.

There are demos written for the SuperCPU 20mhz accelerator for the C64. There are also demos written for the Ram Expansion Unit. I think there was one recent demo released that runs in an emulator with no throttling so it's something like a 40MHz C64.

One interesting demo combines 4 Commodore 64s to run one demo, called "Quad Core"

>The Elon era seems to emphasise truth over sensitivities

I've never heard anyone claim that misinformation went down with the acquisition--Musk infamously gutted that department, and I've seen plenty of claims at least from journalists and the EU that the problem is now worse. Anecdotally, I left Twitter not for ideological reasons, but because my timeline become filled with algorithmic noise from what were clearly bots I wasn't following. Do you have evidence to back up that claim?

>some suspected (but couldn't prove) being shadow banned for having contrarian viewpoints.

I would think we would have seen actual indication of that by now if that were true; given all the "Twitter files" and whatnot that turned out to be a nothingburger, if there was a there there, employees were certainly motivated to air it after the acquisition, if not before. In any case, it's certainly indisputable that Musk has been more than willing to artificially inflate accounts he wants to promote (the latest I know of being the Mr. Beast debacle), which, outside of expressly labelled advertising, I don't remember being a thing before, though again, I'm open to the possibility of being wrong about that.
Everything is a tradeoff. Even things like goto, and global variables will occasionally be the right choice.

Regarding the std::vector method, you may have a very loosely coupled system where a bunch of T1's enter into a pipeline and come out as T2's. For this use case, std::vector<T1> and std::vector<T2> are great. On the other hand, if you need to create an object and hand it off to someone else with no knowledge of how long they will need to hold onto it, then std::shared_ptr could be a good option.

In the in-between you have entity component systems that do the type of index tracking you mention so that identities are decoupled from memory location, allowing objects to move. I didn't understand your point about global variables and why they are necessary to implement this type of system. I also didn't understand how this gives up on all ownership. The owner would be the system that maintains the index to memory location mapping.
They didn’t expect to lose these cases. They think the scientific facts are in their favor.

Mad respect if you don't pirate other stuff either. I'm not that good of a person. Maybe you don't call what I do stealing but I'd still say piracy is straight up a crime.

I think we can both admit that I'm a sort of criminal here. Not one that goes to jail but one that is breaking the law and obviously doing something immoral.
They really don't, on neither points.
> if we held nuclear to a similar safety standard to the airline, coal or solar industry it'd probably be cheaper

No it would be much more expensive. Chernobyl and Fukushima are estimated to cost over 1000 billion usd each, and your suggestion would cause similar accidents every 4-6 years.
Getting more value from tech twitter these days.

I mostly follow L7+ SWEs, creators of popular tech like dynamoDB, and professors in AI/systems/DB/PL. The ones who tried to move to sites like mastodon eventually came back, or are now using twitter much more than these alternatives. There's been more top SWEs and professors especially in AI and systems sharing content there.

Noticed as well that twitter is also more optimistic about tech than HN, especially with subcultures like e/acc, learning/building in public, etc.

> The problem is that a high school education represents literally years of knowledge a person has accumulated.

The vast majority of states require that you be at least 17, and often 18, before you can choose to stop with said education. Everyone the military is willing to accept on other fronts has the literal years spent in school that you speak of. If there is a gap, it's only on the order of a few months, if that.
Sadly, I'm not familiar with Safari and don't have access to the ecosystem.

Nevertheless, will keep it in mind.
My understanding is what complicates the science hears that we don't actually have a causal story, all of the evidence is correlative.

And broad correlative analysis of the link between non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and glyphosate is difficult to tease out because the leading cause of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is HIV. The HIV numbers muddy up the wideband statistics a lot (for many reasons, including patients not being willing to disclose they have an STD), so depending on how the question was asked different research projects get different answers.
> actually works and isn't gamed

The feeling that law is useless is good for Big Social because it helps uphold the status quo.

In practice, companies don’t like doing things that are obviously illegal, especially criminal.

For example, do phone operators sell your phone records? No, because the penalty is 10 years in prison. One employee with good ethics or bad mood is enough to land top management in jail.

Does “records” mean actual contents of the call? No, it means simply “whom you called and when”.

Does social media contain much more sensitive personal information than phone records? Absolutely.

If the law does not penalize selling that information, it only means the law is inadequate, not that it is useless.

> I don't think they would just say "oh, well" and actually do the hard work it would take to make all their users paying customers.

If they won’t, someone else will. It can even be you or me. This is the beauty of free market where honest competition is possible.
