Sort of. Somebody still has to follow the other or find a post from outside their server and comment on it before any communication takes place. How likely that is depends on who's on your server.

If you're hosting people who already have a large audience, or are especially vulnerable to harassment, that's probably going to happen sooner or later and it would be wise to craft or copy a denylist before it does.

I run my own Mastodon server and I've never had to take any moderation actions with a few hundred followers. I know the names of a few vile servers and can't recall seeing them among my followers. I suspect I'm fortunate in just not being interesting enough to vile people.
In what way is it a characteristic of the privileged to use incorrectly aimed white/blue headlights, or to drive a loud car? There would be some small amount of argument for having tinted windows but in general fixing those things (removing them) costs money, not the other way around.

The problem is too far gone at this point to stop it via random stops. That would have been a good thing to do about 6 years ago. At this point the only solution is recalls and manufacturer regulation.
Does "it's actually decreasing" mean "it's decreasing on average in the US" or "it's decreasing on average in every county in the US"?

There are probably better numbers somewhere. Likely several sets worth. One of the things that makes SF's numbers especially thorny is that SFPD engages in a daily campaign to deter reporting crime.

This makes the official numbers known unreliable, but also means there's lots of room to debate how much more reliable any alternative set of numbers might be.
There is research that suggests that the temporal distancing with your past self is a more powerful therapy. This is the only study I could find:

> The left-wing folks aggressively deny there is any sort of problem and the right-wing folks insist such and such a place is a warzone and anyone who goes there should be afraid.

Some left wing folks will agree you should be afraid but only if you're female/black etc because men/white people might attack you. But they'll insist if you're a white man then you're protected from crime by "privilege".

Which is interesting because statistically men are much more often victims of violent crime.
> All of the AI companies are exactly the same: try and generate an image of a woman and a bathing suit with DALL-E and you will inevitably fail.

I think this is largely driven by the concern that the model could be used to (whether intentionally or inadvertently) generate an image of a person who looks underage. That's a gray area of law (not to mention morality) that people are very hesitant to test, so it's better to just block porn entirely.
There was a brief window when people knew that if they used non-HTTP protocols, then malicious webpages couldn't talk to it.

But now even "native" apps are web apps, and IoT devices all use web APIs too. They can be locked down through CORS etc., but it's easier for devs to set `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` and worry about it "later".
but amazon is so user centric it will never kill anything... just let it rot
Standing reminder that any device smart enough to run a real web browser shouldn't use one of these and doesn't need one. uBlock Origin works much better for any device capable of running it, both in terms of user experience (the browser understands a block rather than a mysteriously failing request) and because it can block first party ads and clean up page layout.

The primary use case for these is for blocking ads on devices that don't allow running a real browser and yet still shows ads, such as "smart home" devices, TVs, etc.

Back in the early 1990s up until about early 2000s, i would frequent IRC a bunch. It was so new and fun back then to chat with so many different people across the world; to this day, it remains impressive to me in several ways. Nowadays, i spend my time mostly equally across matrix and the fediverse. While i use fediverse clients quite typically (as they're intended), I use matrix in a few different ways (chat, yes, but also system/task notifications, server "logs", system "dashboard", etc.). But, its quite impressive to the extent that the author uses IRC; very clever and awesome indeed! I hope to stretch my use of matrix even more, but sometimes bridges make things a little annoying. Nevertheless, for me, matrix has replaced irc.
You're not saying anything I don't already know, you're just changing the topic.

My point is that when you said, "In the US the receiver gets unbanked without warning or explanation and permanently loses the ability to accept money through any service via systems like MATCH", that's flat wrong in the most prominent cases, and in less-prominent cases where deplatforming has been applied it hasn't been effective.

It's absurd to try to block a direct payment model to all content creators because you think it will be an effective payment model for hate speech, when hate speakers already have working payment models.
The article doesn't seem to suggest that the mortgage holders are actually straw purchasers, but the facts seem to suggest this is at least sometimes true. How can a hairdresser service several mortgages without "income" from China?
The author describes the alerting and notification workflow really well.

I don’t think that’s the essence of it at all.

Is it helpful to be the reserve currency?

Hugely yes, it gives the society a buffer it otherwise wouldn’t have. And that buffer is very, very valuable.

But having a buffer misses the mechanics. It all comes down to one thing:

Are the investments we are making returning at a competitive rate?

Any country where that answer is NO for a long enough time is going to have a reckoning.
Having two teenage boys I cannot confirm this. They play with other stuff, but Lego is for building once and putting it on a shelf, where it will collect thick layers of dust. My sons never really played with Lego, which I found a bit disappointing.

That's because this is actually a data validation service for brokers. Most of their data is junk or incomplete, but now they know which pieces belong to actual people who want to pay money for it to be deleted.

IBM's proprietary nightmares have, historically, often been quite cost effective. AS/400 did eventually get too long in the tooth, but it had an amazing run for decades where it was extremely competitive for TCO.
Your assertion flips economic principles on their head. Vacant homes paying taxes without drawing on local services represent a net gain, not a drain. Taxes paid on these properties directly fund public services, enhancing the community’s infrastructure without additional burden. Furthermore, the investment in property contributes to the economy through construction, maintenance, and property management industries. To claim that unoccupied housing harms the local economy is not logical.

Austrian economics teaches us that restricting foreign investment misinterprets how markets work. Vacant homes signal opportunities for builders, not losses for workers. Investment flows where it’s valued, stimulating demand and construction, not stifling growth. Misallocating housing due to artificial constraints only distorts the market, harming those you aim to help. Let’s not forget, economic growth comes from creating value, not redistributing scarcity.
All those things are incredibly expensive and/or unpopular.

That's why no one does them.
That brings back memories of a similar setup with hundreds of Windows servers booting over the network. We had regular “brownouts” even during the day just because the image streaming servers couldn’t handle the IOPS. Basic maintenance would slow down the servers for ten thousand users and generate support tickets.

I jumped up and down and convinced management to buy one of the first enterprise SSDs on the market. It was a PCIe card form factor and cost five digits for a tiny amount of storage.

We squeezed in the images using block-level deduplication and clever copy scripts that would run the compaction routine after each file was copied.

The difference was staggering. Just two of those cards made hundreds of other servers run like greased lightning. Boot times dropped to single digit seconds instead of minutes. Maintenance changes could be done at any time with zero impact on users. The whole cluster could be rebooted all at once with only a slight slowdown. Fun times.
Adam Neumann has one of the greatest heist stories in all of Silicon Valley history. He started a company where Masayoshi Son just threw billions of dollars at him after only meeting him for 4 minutes. Then, once he had control of the company, he basically extorted a billion for himself personally where now the value of his personal assets exceeds the original company's value he built. Just an incredible story.
Beyond that, if "free speech" trumps proof of harm or criminal intent, then all forms of fraud would be legal. Fortunately, the legal system is not that stupid.
Sure; the output format changes, but the functionality doesn't.

Even ls outputs a tabular format by default when it's on a terminal and a list one file/dir per line when it's not on a terminal (if it's piped to cat for example or why ls | wc -l correctly counts the entries).

But the (essential) behavior of the command remains the same. ls still lists files/dirs... scp still copies files, etc.
This is somewhat counterintuitive but... the fraudulent mortgages are not more risky, they are often times more stable than other local borrowers.

I think what many people are imagining is the subprime mortgage situation of yore. But in this case, a lot of the "fraud" is the result of knock on effects from capital controls in the PRC. Many (new and aspiring immigrants) have capital from sales of their property in China, but due to capital controls, cannot get it out quickly. They have to do it in $50k/year chunks.

Usually a loan or mortgage is the solution for this, but those depend on _income_ rather than _wealth_, so normally these people can't take out as much as they need to, even though they could easily back actual value of the mortgage. So there's a little collusion between banks and mortgage brokers to get in on this market gap (probably more so now that interest rates are high, which these borrowers are much less sensitive to).

Of course, there are risks, but those risks are tied to more geopolitical circumstances and less market-driven, and apparently banks are more willing to take their chances on that.
Agree. I also use PillPack for my recurring meds, also an Amazon company. The standard for medical company interactions is a very low bar, but both companies kill it every time.
I have a migraine medicine (Qulipta) and have gone through half a dozen pharmacies in the last two years. The fact that I have both insurance and a manufacturers coupon seems to screw them all up, and several just stopped doing migraine meds. I am not functional without this medicine. I would literally qualify as disabled since I have migraines so often. Even two days of not having the med throws me off for a full week.

Without insurance or the coupon it's $1600/month. With insurance it's $650/month. With the coupon and insurance it's $0/month.

Amazon is the only pharmacy that didn't mess up the insurance. They also autoship on time every month. I'm not even joking when I say that I actually cried over how difficult it was with other pharmacies.
"while there is no clear evidence if AI lawyer has more or less chance to be wrong than human."

In the tests they are shown to be pretty close. The point I made wasn't about more mistakes, but about other factors influencing liability and how it would be worse for AI than humans at this point.
But there has been significant change in the status quo in the last 150 years...

A struggle I have seen play out numerous times, and at one point my own company fell victim to it, is that there are these obvious operational inefficiences in healthcare that every tech entrpenuer thinks they can hop onto as an easy oppourtunity. Then they run face first into the wall of a highly regulated industry in which, in most states, corporate power over care is severely restricted. Secondly, the last 5% matters just as much as the first 95%. You have to get to 100% because you are dealing with real people not "transactions".

It took us 10 years to really get the hang of how to create positive operational change in big healthcare systems and it's very nuanced and slow. In a nutshell it's a lot of carrot and stick or maybe a lot of micro-carrot and micro-stick.

Amazon tried the brute force approach with Haven and it failed spectacularly. The pharmacy and one-medical plays were a dip your toes in the water approach but from what I have seen they are replaying most of the same mistakes.
My son gets the sets, builds the one thing, then starts heavily modifying it. Eventually pieces from other sets will be incorporated into this set and it into other sets and eventually the Death Star has become a castle. So, it’s more of a mindset thing than a LEGO thing. If you insist that the one thing is all the set can become, that is fine, but it can also become many other things if you let it go.
It doesn’t for me. If anything it makes my depression and anxiety better for a little bit. It helps me focus on just one thing rather than worry about all the things in the world.

Set and setting do matter just like other drugs. If I’m sitting at my back garden then I feel very at peace high. If I’m downtown then I’ll feel anxious from the sensory overload
Personally, I don't think I'd trust an "official" second hand market. My go to's are usually eBay, Craigslist, and FB marketplace. If framework parts are only being traded on Discord servers and subreddits, it makes me think there just isn't that big of a market for those parts for whatever reason.

I don't expect Thinkpad levels of availability, but I've only ever seen one listing for a Framework mainboard on eBay in all the times I've looked. But tbf, the internet is very strange nowadays, and maybe Discord is the new eBay?

To be clear, I'm not trying to imply nobody is buying frameworks, just that nobody is reselling them. I upgraded my laptop not too long ago, but I already decided my next one will be a framework. So keep up the good work!
No amount of capital can cut through the corruption and regulatory morass that has been built up over decades between the biopharma and government revolving door. That needs to get cleaned up before anyone has any chance of solving this.

Thanks. I was looking for better numbers.
The left-wing folks aggressively deny there is any sort of problem

I'm not familiar with anyone, at least in the mainstream of politics, doing this. I think it is important to note the mainstream, because we do have tons of elected officials and mainstream cable news talking heads making the "warzone" argument (and deliberately mischaracterizing any attempts at police or justice system reform).
It's certainly possible.

But the courts doing the sentencing and the prison owners are typically completely separate entities.

It's not just one "justice system" run by one group of people.
The bitter reality is that in a primary agricultural household economy, there will be child labor. This has been the case through history, and even in the United States the child labor laws exempt work on a family farm. The economics just really don’t work out otherwise.

If in a fit of “virtue” we decide to ban that without taking the economic realities into consideration, you are likely to make it far worse. Living with your family and working with them harvesting cocoa is far better than starving, begging, or prostitution.

The article is not claiming causal link, but this is still interesting.

~100% THC, no CBD, is objectively wrong for almost all uses of cannabis.

The market is morally bankrupt, ran by non-cannabis people, and prioritizing addiction over wellness.
You may be thinking about Yahoo’s approach from 2010?

Remember Those Posters?
Hi hive mind. When I was a student in the late 90s, in the UK, one could buy posters in (approx) A1 or A0 size that was had a D&D theme (not the TM material). One could see for example many small-to-tiny details, tribesmen in a valley sitting around a fire, dragons fighting in the sky, rivers flowing and someone fishing. Imagine the easter eggs on the album cover of Iron Maiden - Powerslave, but on a poster and make that dragon/fantasy themed x50 on the surprise-details.

Anyone knows where I can find such posters, or their PNG/PDF? I remember enjoying looking at one (I had 3-4) back in the day, and I wanted to find something similar now.
In the same vein, it doesn't mean it hasn't collapsed because you still use it.
Sometimes it feels like people look at GPT and think "This thing does words! Law is words! I should start a company!" but they actually haven't worked in legal tech at all and don't know anything about the vertical.
Its interesting, you find quality with these brands.

I'm certain these brands advertise they have quality, but I think they fall far short of the competition constantly. Nintendo? Disney? Apple? When I think of their actual quality compared to the best in the business you are talking B- quality.

Sure you never get a C or a D like when I get a random Android phone for $100, but you are never going to get a Baulders Gate 3 from Nintendo.

Although now that you mention it, all of these brands have total fanatics that border on cult worship. I wonder if this is natural, or some unethical psychology their marketing departments use.

Well, they have oil.
It was a realistic response, and an episode years ahead of its time in its climate change allegory (several years ahead of an inconvienent truth for example)

Alas aside from a couple of references later in S7 of TNG, trek then decided to handwave a technical solution in the background and we never heard of the problem again.

Indeed Trek in later years (Picard season 2) also said that climate change in the Trek universe was solved by magical microbes from Europa.
