"Transparent" means different things to people, but if you mean a full moderation log: I think most likely it would produce more questions and effort, for no clear gain. I've written about this over the years: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Here's how I look at it: if trust is present, then we don't need to publish a full log, as long as we answer questions when people ask them. That degree of transparency has been available here for many years. If, on the other hand, trust isn't present, a moderation log won't create it. It will just generate more data for distrust to work with—and distrust always finds something.

Thus our focus is on building trust with the community and maintaining it. That happens through lots of individual and group interactions, answering questions whenever we get them, in the threads or by email. That's what I spend most of my time doing.

We're never going to take the community's trust for granted because it's what gives HN the only real value it has, and it would be all too easy to lose. But I would tentatively say that this approach has proven to work well for most of the community. If people learn they can always get a question answered, that's a powerful trust-building factor.

Equally clear is that it does not work for everybody; but that's always going to be the case no matter what we do. I don't mean that we dismiss such users' concerns—quite the contrary, I make extra efforts to answer them. I'm just not under any illusion that we can satisfy everybody. It's satisfying enough if a few people can occasionally be won over in this way—which does happen sometimes!

I don't know how this is different from filing income taxes.

When you are convicted of committing tax fraud, you may get incarcerated in a prison. Most often, you pay a fine.

Call the prisons re-education camps or the tax people jackboots, if you like.

> JSON is terrible for tabular data

Sure. When you use API, you can design it with a domain-specific data format. When you use SSR, you stick to HTML page overhead.

>When a SPA does fail, it is often worse than a back end framework.

This is not an argument against SPA, it’s an argument to invest in UX. When done right, SPA and native clients do deliver better UX than SSR/generic browser. The effort to achieve that is not huge, in fact this behavior can be built as a reusable component.
Hell, knowing what people actually eat and comparing it to their actual health would be extremely helpful, especially combining with a massive data-set and big data.

Food studies are currently based on recall... and peoples recall is horrible. "What did you eat last Monday for breakfast, and how many grams of it did you eat?"
The inputs are garbage and the outputs are garbage. Linking actual food intake to healthout comes would be VERY powerful.
Can we just use the source article instead of this tech..dirt:

That's me. I am mining only when my Tesla Battery is above 80%.
I have a node-red automation that keeps all of this in check. Mining stops when battery reaches 60%.
It basically runs all day from April to Oktober.
My solar system now has a roi of 6-7 years if everything works out. 2 years in the experiment. I am planning to invest mining profits in other environment friendly projects.
Here in Germany you only get 8 cents/kW from the state. Mining doubles that. Sometimes even triple. During the ETH run it was even 5 times more.
Fun thing 90% of my overproduction still reaches the grid. My mining rig only uses 300 to 600 watts.
Next I am planning to integrate awattar (dynamic price provider) to mine when the price of electricity is negative or close to zero. This happens sometimes during the night because of low demand and wind turbines going strong.
>Doesn't quite line up with your presumption.

Presumably users flagged both posts almost immediately, and by the time mods decided that the topic was worth discussion the second thread had more engagement. The first thread was still a dupe despite being posted earlier.

>Any theories on why the Guardian's visual exploration of Gaza's destruction was flagged, despite positive upvotes and comments?

While the verdict was a major event like you said, The Guardian's story was not. Users flagged it, like all posts on the topic, and the mods decided it was not different enough from previous discussions to justify a new flame war.

The ongoing wars are topics worthy of discussions, and they get discussed here. They don't need daily discussions. If you want daily discussions, there are plenty of places you can go to do that.
> We do teach people parenting. The action is called parenting.

Even the unpaywalled part of the article mentions that experience is too narrow and obviously inadequate. For instance: being parented is quite different from parenting; there's a long important period where the child will have no memory (or only vague disconnected memory) of being parented; and the experience of being parented gives insight into other parenting styles.

> I teach my kids how to parent by practicing it. I learned how to parent my children by observing my boomer parents, and doing the opposite in nearly every circumstance.

The opposite of one mistake isn't the correct action, it's usually a different mistake. Even though you gave zero details, I suspect "doing the opposite" will just set your kids up to repeat your parents' mistakes.
I'm gonna be simple about this. It's stupid that they did this. It's stupid that there are articles about it. The tweets about it will be stupid, discussion here will be stupid, this comment, frankly, is stupid, I hate all the stupid, and I would like the culture war stupidity, on all of its levels and from all sides, to finally, finally stop. Arrrrrrrrrrgh.
So, let me get this straight: I've claimed reducing everything to "chemicals" is disingenuous, and in response, I'm immediately told "no, you" and then challenged with debates over topics or ideas I haven't actually talked about like

>How do you create a MSDS for a chemical that hasn’t been made yet?

What argument that I've made do you present this logical fallacy to?

> Deciding if ‘freezing’ it in place, or letting it continue to develop new and interesting applications is the discussion

This is not my viewpoint and was never mentioned by me. This is an argument you're either making in reference to another comment, a point not addressed by myself, or you're talking to your own strawman, who doesn't seem to have a significant stance other than "well, it's basically unsolveable!".

That is the discussion I was having. You're doing exactly what I mentioned, being disingenuous about the literal technical definition of chemicals and muddying waters because water is a chemical too, man!

Well watering my lawn doesn't kill it or give organisms that live mere decades cancer. That's a reasonable measurement to start.

And if you're really saying there can't be more in depth, slower research to chemicals that people will end up having in their bloodstream, then I don't even know what to say to that, other than Andrew Ryan would be proud.

You know I see these FUD articles every so often, there's some truth to it, but more interesting to me is the timing. BTC is probably going to see lower prices before the post-halving run up.

Similarly, I wrestled for years with getting good results out of Kodi/XBMC. It was mostly good but never entirely reliable and took a lot of fiddling to get to that stage.

I don't know about your specific network architecture but, if you need to access AWS services from inside your VPC, make sure to configure a VPC endpoint for the services where it is available(RDS is one of them).

Far too many people forget about that and send their AWS traffic through their NAT GWs.

Sorry to be that guy, but the monospace font stack used for e.g. logs is... not optimal for Windows:

IBM Plex Mono,Menlo,DejaVu Sans Mono,Bitstream Vera Sans Mono,Courier,monospace

...will end up being "Courier" and that's not good in any way, shape or form. Consolas, Cascadia Code|Mono, even Lucida [Sans] Console are much nicer, and would spruce up the Safari experience for some segment of your audience.

Plus, not sure why timestamps use font-light (this is Tailwind, right?), it just makes these less readable, while not taking up less space or anything.
> before my interests shift horrifically to playing golf, taking cruises, and bingo.

If I ever have to play golf in any serious way, I'm doomed. I can hit the ball sideways, or along the ground, but unless it's just put-put golf, I'm in trouble.

My most recent manager is just over 70 years old and still putting a lot of his time into AI (not the current fad of LLMs, he's been dreaming of his own AI breakthrough for decades). He vacations, sure, and maybe he even plays bingo once in a while. But I suspect he's only going to stop trying to make real AGI when he keels over. He's still pretty sharp all considered.
He's probably being paid by Big v6 to push it.

I'm hearing more talk about legislatively banning TikTok again, just because it is Chinese.

Your first question is a legitimate question except that it contains the word "Chinese". Why buy from any sketchy British platform? Or sketchy Brazilian platform? Or sketchy Texan platform?

I'm not so much trying to defend Chinese companies. It just really irritates me that American companies get a pass. When I think about all the ways the Chinese government could weaponize TikTok against me or my children, it doesn't bother me as much as all the ways Facebook/Instagram/etc can and ALREADY DO weaponize my data against me.

I'm probably just extreme in this way though. When somebody asks me for a phone number of a common acquaintance, I decline. I will always get permission before I hand over that info. Any of these services could require a very short, clearly worded agreement that says they are allowed to sell any information they can guess about you; most of the masses will quickly agree to that and be annoyed that their screen time was interrupted.

There is a quote attributed to Genghis Khan:

'I am the flail of god. Had you not comitted great sins, god would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.'

Considering how total the destruction was that the Mongols visited on the conquered, it is almost believable. And likewise, them not invading Europe was considered to be divine intervention.

The Mongols believed the world was meant to be theirs, by divine right. Saying No to a Mongol when he asks you for something (eg your land or daughter) was considered a religious offense.

Probably, but all this does is lead to more of what we have now: No trust in government because government is far away. No trust in your representative because they are some mega-rich millionaire (or hangs with them) and not only have you not met them, they don't even care about your hometown.

And think of this. Today House members spend all their time mooching for donations, because to get elected requires a BUNCH of money. That money is increasingly dominated by money outside your district. If we have a Representative for every 20,000 citizens for you 15,000 number, that means you can run a small campaign for very little money. Heck you could just knock on doors for no money.

THAT takes a lot of power away from moneyed interests.

Also, 331,000,000 citizens / 50,000 citizens/rep = 6,600 reps

Maybe you’re not aware of the feature that both Meta Remote Desktop and Virtual Desktop offer, to auto-connect when the headset is put on. No friction.

OTOH, VD only permits 1 virtual display, and Meta RD offers 3x1080p ones, but both options are plenty sharp to work on.

The free Desktop+ overlay for SteamVR, however provides unlimited virtual displays of any resolution. That’s what I prefer, but it doesn’t have the auto-connect feature like the other 2.

Not sure what you think you need hand tracking for, I use my keyboard and mouse like I do without the headset.

This reminds me to get back on my belt-only Factorio save. Balancers are too much fun to work with. I'm also reminded of that time I tried to figure out a good 2-2 throughput unlimited balancer for a good 30 minutes before I realized I wanted a single splitter with two belts in and two belts out. Humbling and satisfying at the same time.

Every hobby is a pastime, regardless of how outwardly creative it is. You get out what you put in.

Anecdotally, this perspective is more common amongst early stage companies, non-tech firms, small and low-quality tech firms. It is entirely plausible to spend a career between such shops repeating the same activities over and over again.
For example, wordpress developers for SMBs can command hefty fees.

If everyone you ever worked with was an X developer, why would you believe that someone could be an (X,Y,Z,A-C,E-F) engineer?

Likely, this divide motivates a persistent separation of groups - when I last interviewed for such a shop,they were stuck on me having professional experience in C/CPP/Java/Rust/Go/Python/Ruby/Perl/PhP. We ended up spending 30 minutes discussing what my strongest language was which likely told them nothing about my skills and experience nor did it tell me anything about the types of challenges they have.
> I don't think they were suggesting to review the individual commits, rather the (individual) commit messages.

That's a good point.

> Commit messages are text, so you could have a similar line by line click-and-comment review interface as you already have for the code changes.

It would be nice if something like that was available in Github. The closest thing you could do would be to copy the commit title and body and paste it as quoted text in the text area and then comment on it inline.

> Currently the actual cost of a BTC transaction is hundreds of dollars

I thought... huh, this can't be right. So I did some back of the napkin math. We have about 2500 transactions in a block, a block reward is 6,25 BTC. That comes around a cost of 0.0025 BTC per block, or about 112USD. That's without considering the extra tip from the transaction. So, not really hundreads, but damn' close.

It makes me think increasing the block size really wasn't a bad idea.

> there's no reason the 21M coin limit can't be raised to continue doing exactly what has been happening so far.

Sure, but you'd need a hard fork. Not impossible, but hard to reach the consensus.
Telus in Canada is a bit annoying. Residential connections get dynamic IPv4 and not-quite-static IPv6 /56 - I had the same prefix for about 6 months until some recent maintenance changed it.

If you pay for a business connection you can get 1 or more static IPv4 addresses, but then you get no IPv6 connectivity.
Atlassian's Jira wiki format and text editing tools drive me up the wall. There's something about how Atlassian does UX that rarely agrees with me. If I write markdown in a sensible editor (Obsidian), and convert it to Jira wiki, that's a big win for me. Love projects like this.
> the colloquial definition of chemicals which if we're not being pedantic, we know brings up ideas of substances damaging to other substances or life itself.

From the comment you're responding to. Damage is quantifiable, if it wasn't, the OP (EPA proposing hazardous substance classification) wouldn't even exist.
I guess, there are at least two kinds of "retire": 1) retire from doing the job that you depend on for living, 2) retire from doing what you find rewarding.

Sometimes both of these coincide. Lucky! Sometimes you grow into accepting 1) to become also 2). Well, lucky too! If you also have a choice to enjoy doing this in later years, then you are very much lucky and happy.

Otherwise, like lots of people, we keep on our pursuit of happiness. Retirement from a well-paying yet not that rewarding job, just gives us another chance to catch that happiness, perhaps now being able to detach the 1).

Living long and remaining active is no less lucky!
> On what are you basing your thinking that ChatGPT is more likely than not to be suggesting best practices? (Real question, I'm curious!)

I phrased that part badly, you're not the only one to get that (unintended) meaning from my words; where I wrote:

> I've spent the last 14 years doing iOS professionally and therefore don't know what's considered best practice in browser-land

That was meant to convey my weakness rather than its strength. I can tell when ChatGPT makes a wild error, but that's all because I don't know JS best practices.

Extreme wealth is a symptom of an underlying problem - inhumane exploitation. People can get that rich because the economic system says that it is perfectly acceptable for a class of people to pee in bottles/diapers in order to maximize profits.

The solution for this doesn't have to target the rich explicitly. We can strengthen labor laws; update anti-monopoly laws. Make human dignity the central argument.

This will circumvent knee jerk reactions like "I work hard, I deserve to be rich". The question to ask is how are you, as an owner of capital, treating your labor? Like do they get to have a life after work? Have dignity at work? Do you use your wealth to circumvent democratic will and weaken labor protections? The answers to those questions should determine whether you deserve your wealth or not.
