Indeed, while not cannabis related, I visited the ER once due to a panic attack (which I did't know at the time). My combination of high heart rate, mild abdominal pain, and a low grade fever triggered their sepsis protocol. This constellation of symptoms caused me to spiral more and eventually I was discharged with nothing more than some chill pills and constipation.
HN relies on a very engaged professional moderation team. I don't see how that could scale as large as the major social networks.

Reddit has a similar approach, with varying degrees of success (often depending on the community and moderation team of the particular subreddit).
Not on Canada's end, it's a bunch of people using legal capital controls to get money into Canada. On PRC end, it's evading capital controls, which depending on your geopolitical alignment, can be illegal activity. But if you're in the west, you want that Chinese money. Free money from competitotrs as good as brain drain from competitors.
I'm looking forward to the TAAAAGBBWCDEB Party rallies:

— Gradual change!
— When do we want it?
— In due course!

I appreciate the local approach to referenda. A referendum can be brought "solve X with Y!", but the government then has a chance to say, "we agree that X is a problem, but we think it'd be more effectively addressed via Z". Then we all vote for either Y, or Z, or (the most popular response) "X ain't so broke; don't fix it"

Not with concurrent writes, you're not!

Even with a WAL or some kind of homegrown spooling, you're going to be limited by the rate at which one thread can ingest that data into the database.

One could always shard across multiple SQLite databases, but are you going to scale the number of shards with the number of concurrent write requests? If not, SQLite won't work. And if you do plan on this, you're in for a world of headaches instead of using a database that does concurrency on its own.

Don't get me wrong; SQLite is great for a lot of things. And I know it's nice to not have to deal with the "state" of an actual database application that needs to be running, especially if you're not an "infrastructure" team, but there's good reasons they're ubiquitous and so highly regarded.

1. At time of writing, there has been one downvote in the first comment, followed by one upvote in the subsequent comment. Not only does that not translate to "a lot of people", it was quite likely just one person. And unless that person was you, it is impossible to know what their intent was. I'm not sure what are you trying to add here.

2. Who gives a shit? If the "computers truly are magic" camp don't understand what I wrote, great! It wasn't written for them in the first place. If that compels them to use their time pressing a button instead of learning about how computers work, great! Not my problem. I'm not sure what you are trying to add here.
Both of you broke the site guidelines so badly in this thread that you crossed the line at which we'd ban an account. I'm not going to ban you now because your account has also posted good things, but if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules in the future, that would be good.

I think what you're actually observing is simply that Postgres is by far the most vendor-neutral DBMS (/API) available, and therefore the volume of conversation & marketing around it stacks up very disproportionately.

In contrast, asides from MySQL all other DBMS options require getting invested in ~one company and relying entirely on the whims & fortunes of their commercial support organisation.

...but by trying to avoid the bottleneck and moving things to backend, you make things 10x worse resource wise for the DB. So it is not a easy tradeoff.

Take any computation you can do in SQL like "select sum(..) ...". Should you do that in the database, or move each item over the network and sum them in the backend?

Summing in the database uses a lot less resources FOR THE DB than the additional load the DB would get from "offloading" this to backend.

More complex operations would typically also use 10x-100x less resources if you operate on sets and amortize the B-tree lookups over 1000 items.

The answer is "it depends" and "understand what you are doing"; nothing about it is "inevitable".

Trying to avoid computing in the DB is a nice way of thinking you maxed out the DB ...on 10% of what it should be capable of.

Blockchain isn't really the solution there, though.

I don't want a public ledger with all my payments, which tells not only what I consume, but also how much I am able/willing to spend.

And as soon as you are in massmarket you need ways for humans to intervene, for handling complaints, mistakes, whatever or dealing with the unavoidable case that individuals lose their secret keys. Or even cases like medical restriction or inheritance requiring others to take over the funds.

All those things Blockchain purposely and inherently prevents.

You've identified a real problem but blamed the wrong target. We don't need to avoid using domain names, we need to make them an order of magnitude easier for laypeople to buy and use.

99% of people who could benefit from owning a domain should never have to know what a DNS record or TLS cert is. This should all be managed by apps through a simple delegation system built on OAuth2.

You log on to bsky.app, they say, "want to connect a domain?". You say yes and get redirected to your domain registrar, where you grant access to for bsky.app to have control over bsky.example.com until you revoke access.

DomainConnect[0] should solve this but in practice it's turned out to be very gatekeepy in my opinion.

That's a really flimsy article. Someone is claiming 3 million smart toothbrushes were used in a DDoS, but no one is talking what/who/how. That seems like the kind of extraordinary claim that requires at least some kind of evidence.

There is surely at least some technical details that enabled them to identify the toothbrushes, right?

I think the reason you rarely see the outcomes is because those disputes are typically resolved through mediation and/or binding arbitration, not in the courts.

Makes sense I wasn't thinking about the full on laundering aspects. But even so, if the real estate is used in laundering, it will eventually have to be sold to get back clean money. This should still run up prices at the start, and run them down in the end. So I think the majority of the point still stands: there should be an uptick in sales (which there is not). They could be speculating on top of laundering, in which case they are taking some losses. We are -20% from peak. The time will come when they (the launderers) will need liquidity and sell which has not come. Will it ever come?
If I understood you correctly (maybe I didn't), you have decreased empathy for the poorer-than-you because of their lack of empathy for their poorer-than-them?

I wonder how much of the narrative about Mastodon adoption (or the lack thereof) was that professional content creators didn't know how to adapt their Twitter workflows to it. It's definitely retained a mostly non-commercial flair, which makes me think people have had a hard time monetizing it.

The community I've found on Mastodon has been incredible—I'm reminded of early Usenet days.

An even better book recommendation (if you like the article) is "Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet" by Hannah Ritchie. Hannah Ritchie is head of research for ourworldindata.org; the book grew very directly out of the linked article.

Ritchie credits a lecture by Hans Rosling (one of the authors of Factfulness) in the forward for being what turned her from a pessimistic biology student into the person that writes a book like this.

A common criticism of the linked article is that "sure child mortality is going down, but what about X". Where X is climate change, species decline, quality of life, et cetera. The book addresses most "X"'s.
All that is required to solve climate change is the elimination of the Military Industrial Complex, the largest polluter on earth by far and the most useless thing on earth by far.
You brought age into a discussion when it wasn't warranted, and you assume people with mental health issues all know it.

Healthy people have heart attacks. Healthy people can mistake depression or budding mental issues as "work stress" or the pressures of life.

You're essentially saying "yeah cannabis can cause issues but it's your fault for not knowing your in a 100% happy place" which is dismissive on several levels.

I say this as someone who likes THC edibles and also can see how it causes anxiety for people prone to it. I also think age can be a factor, anecdotally. Alcohol was something easy for me to overconsume, and now my hangovers cause nebulous anxiety the next day which cannot be explained by any specific thing.
Our current focus, with our current resources, is on core functionality. We want to nail that and then grow our roadmap deliberately, rather than go off and add a bunch of half-finished features just to tick some checkboxes. In the meantime, plugin builders are doing an amazing job tackling things like BGP community / session / policy management, DNS record management, and device ACL management.
The part of 4.4% children worldwide die vs. in the European Union 0.47% of all children die forgets to mention that the EU has much, much fewer children (comparatively speaking, as in children per women) compared to the places where child mortality rate is still (comparatively) high, i.e. places like Central and East Africa.

Which is to say that were we to really want to make Africa reach European levels of (lower) child mortality that would also mean that the same Africa will start have much fewer children, at the same levels Europe is right now, which, adding it all up, means that we will end up having fewer children as a whole (for our entire planet, that is). Which means that this policy of trying to make the world "better" would end up actually making it worst, that is it will make us (the human species) have (much) fewer children in the future.

It is very different than manually moving instances in the Fediverse, in my understanding. For one, it's totally transparent to the people that are following. All of your data comes with you. You don't lose your posts, your followers don't lose following you. I know Mastodon has at least recently gained account portability to some degree, but https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/ has some serious drawbacks that aren't present in the AT model.

Same here, I was on the waitlist for a few months, during that time I saw no evidence that anyone joined Bluesky via the waitlist. Eventually I got lucky and found someone who was giving out invites on Twitter, but by then all of my friends are no longer interested in joining yet another social network.

I hope Bluesky prospers since it has some features that Mastodon and Twitter lacks, but it has a lot of catching up to do.
I just made my bsky account, and I know I shouldn't be surprised I guess but.. I can't believe it looks exactly like twitter.

I don't know what it'd be like but I expected some newer different ui/ux.
Even if you couldn't resell used parts, I would hope buying a new motherboard would be cheaper than buying a whole new laptop less the amount you'd get for an old used one.
> They present how the world is improving in an irrefutable way but media and politicians would only focus on the negative

People are allowed to have their own opinions about what to value in the world. The idea of "irrefutable proof" the world has improved is completely asinine and counter productive... at best, and at worse just straight marketing for the ruling class.
It is an infuriating state of affairs.

Ironically, if the Apple ecosystem wasn't so locked down the open source community would have solved this issue by now.
Most people eat a sodium heavy (3g+) and potassium light diet(1g-). However your body really wants a potassium heavy(3g+) and sodium moderate diet (.75g).

You normally accomplish this by eating less junk and more fruits + vegetables. But putting potassium salt on your junk food is better than nothing.

Mastodon is my primary social network for two reasons:

* it has by far the highest-quality conversations I've ever seen

* no right-wing freaks disparaging trans people in the replies to everything

ActivityPub does have a migration story -- people move servers all the time. But it's not as good as it could be, and there are rough edges.
Huh. Per my observation it's doing better than ever. New and better features, more user-hours than ever before, etc.

Using total energy consumption (not just electricity) and redoing the calculation using entire incident solar flux, I get that they are within a factor of 4 of each other. I agree that the sun currently dominates and the co2 capture is the dominant mechanism. It's also interesting that our consumption is so close to the same order of magnitude. It suggests that if we were to heavily invest in e.g. nuclear to solve our carbon issue that the heat alone would be on the same scale of excess energy and heating would continue. It also says that for solar to solve the problem we would need to cover something like 5-10% of the land mass in solar cells!
Yeah well, it has been a thing around Apple products for a while, they call reality distortion field but quite frankly I think it's borderline lying.

For some reason, people keep giving Apple a pass for many of the shortcomings of their very expensive products.
I mean if they would make extremely competitive affordable products I would kinda make sense to give them some slack (it used to be a bit like that TBH) but today's Apple deserves none of that.

I still remember the hype with Airpods and just after getting them I quickly understood that I had been owned. Not that Airpods were a bad product per se, but for the price they are just not good value.

It is still the same and even worse with the AVP. Considering the price, this product almost suck. It's like people acclaiming an extremely expensive Porsche as a great car. Who give a fuck, the thing is so expensive it is reserved to a small elite, if you make stuff infinitely expensive, they better be infinitely good.

And there lies the problem with current Apple, because they have all the money in the world, they have very little incentive to figure out a working compromise for products at a price that would work for most people.
Their current products are plagued with this issue: they are all "nice" but only if you have infinite money, once you start comparing and making choices, they become a lot less interesting, in fact I would argue that most of them low-key sucks for their price...
This headline reads like a story element from the Silicon Valley TV series.
All joking aside, there are tons of mitigation options for this, most of which wouldn't even require robots or startups, they just require the political will to allocate money to do a thing we know needs to be done. We don't need a company to do this. We can just say "to protect both our environment and tons of people who live in the forested areas most at risk, we need to implement a set of protection measures to mitigate the probability of disastrous fires." These can be some combination of clearing forest floors, probably revisiting construction guidelines for homes/businesses in these areas, and controlled burns in areas where that's required or necessary.

But no. We do nothing, and people's homes continue to burn, and we dump yet more masses of CO2 into the atmosphere and waste thousands of trees, and of course a requisite number of human casualties. Ridiculous.

Maybe I shouldn't have said 'scientist'.

Scientist have 100's of studies, and create 100's of models.
The results are a range.

Then various agencies release 'reports' that are summaries of the models.
But, like in a lot of fields, you can toss outliers like the top 5 extremes hot and cold.
And of course, it's a report, so the language can be as 'toned down', or 'hyped' as you want to make it, or judge it. I'm sure if it was over-hyped, many would complain that way too.

What this video was then explaining, was that some of the 'hot' models might actually have been more accurate. So the entire report is even more skewed 'cold', the emergency is actually greater.
Ford Escape PHEV and Hyundai Tucson are solid, but lower end, PHEVs than the Prius Prime.

They are compact SUVs however and are arguably more of a RAV4 competitor but come in at under Prius Prime prices.

-------

The Lincoln Corsair PHEV is the luxury version of the Ford Escape, but is well cheaper than the Lexus equivalent.

I've been told that Ford/Lincoln is using licensed Toyota drivetrain technology too. I'll have to double check that claim but the Ford Escape/Lincoln Corsair drivetrain is RAV4-like for sure, albeit lower powered / inferior. But I'm hoping it's still got similar reliability.

But it's very hard to compete vs the Prius / Prime / RAV4 hybrid. But the Ford models have the tax credit AND lower MSRP.

------

I'm personally still strongly considering the Prius. But the other vehicles could feasibly come in at the right price point and turn me away from Toyota.
It's not a 'weak point' it's a fatal flaw.
