I’m sure the dynamics of multiple people in an online chatroom and the effects on their mindset are well above my ability to understand, but I think it’s a lot simpler than that.

Streaming is a business with the goal of getting people who walk into your (virtual) shop to give you their (subscription) money, just like every other business that has ever existed. The product being sold is the streamer’s personality and ability to entertain.

If your business model involves insulting those people, I don’t think it’s really sensible or a good sign for the long term sustainability of that business to declare them weak minded when they predictably find that being insulted is not something they’d like to pay for.

Then again, I’m not a streamer. Maybe they know something I don’t.
Was the reporting any good? Were people reading it?

I'd be concerned if the archives of, say, Kerrang! looked at risk of being lost. Or even back episodes of Pimp My Ride or Celebrity Deathmatch. But I didn't even know MTV had a news.
Wayland is almost-ready. This is what I needed to do to switch (caveat: this is ubuntu 22, so I may be 2 years out of date):

- Accept inability to use monitor color profiles (this is still WIP)

- Accept inability to use full-screen sharing (very likely to be broken, in theory fixable, in practice its unclear how to fix the portal mess)

- Forked libinput because it behaved unacceptable with my touchpad, and the original developers don't want to add the configuration options to fix this. (Well kind of - custom acceleration profiles may be available in later versions)

- Spent some time adding all the "use wayland" cli flags to everything electron based. In theory, ~/.config/thing-flags.conf is supposed to work, in practice it doesn't, so I have a bunch of wayland replacement clis for everything (wcode, wobsidian, etc)

- Spent some time looking up tool replacements (i3wm -> sway, dmenu -> rofi, xclip -> wl-copy, xprop -> ... its complicated etc)

Benefit: for the first time ever my Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen3 laptop (4K screen) outperforms my Android phone in graphics rendering performance and responsiveness, even just using the Intel card. Using it feels gloriously good. This includes the OEM Windows install as a comparison point, which is doing significantly worse, even with nvidia card enabled.

Replacing Xorg is an absolutely impossible task, with a long tail of broken things left in Wayland's wake. But I think it might finally be getting to the point where its worth it
Fair use and archival where copyright doesn't come into play. Copyright utterly needs strengthening, not weakening.
The Internet Archive works with the federal government currently, and while they receive benefits and incentives as a bonafide library, it is better (imho) they are distinct from the government to remain segregated from potential political influence and interference. This doesn’t prevent a federal agency tasked with preservation from kicking off archiving operations and operating a replicated copy of the Internet Archive (or a subset of the corpus).

In the current operating environment, it is important to optimize for optionality.

(No affiliation with the Internet Archive, just a concerned citizen)
Shotguns have a very limited effective range. Round pellets have a low ballistic coefficient and lose energy quickly. Using larger bore shotguns only delivers marginal range improvements. Automated shotguns might end up being one aspect of SHORAD, but based on recent developments it looks like they'll end up being less important than jammers plus autocannons (short term) and lasers (longer term).

For 12k, just attach a flotation device to a big octa-drone and drop it from the air. Then you can stay on station and use the camera to guide rescuers to the person. You could probably even drag a line out to someone attached a flotation device and reel them in.
Not the person you are replying to but...

They are different points of contention and I think both of your points are valid - though only really linked via "CLI dickery".

You are correct that MS is being annoying, stupid and pushy and causes me to resort to CLI-dickery/regedit/service-disable/google-what-fucking-tickbox-to-untick-now to make it calm the farm.

Linux doesn't try to mess with my farm. But I only get 80% - 90% of a farm to start with and have to google "How to do/fix [XYZ],[abc] and [123]" and the answer is always CLI dickery. Last night it was "Use Vim to edit [this] file." Great, then I had to google how to use Vim. But wait, I only want to edit a file so use any file editor! But now I need it to run under sudo...

Both OSs have their issues and CLI dickery isn't going away.
But with MS, I paid them so I feel entitled to have expectations as to product behaviour - especially when it keeps trying to change from what I bought.
In the sense that the US letting up on the poor man is a surprise, yes. But without having polled the pro-Assange crowd it doesn't seem like a special surprise that it was Biden. He's been the name on impressive things before, like ending the Afghanistan war (which at the time had been a political humiliation for the US longer than Assange had).

Supporting transparency and good journalism isn't a partisan issue, and there are going to be good people in any administration. Plus Assange wasn't annoying presidents, he was going after people in the deep state.

The reason that you don't need radar for this is that the small suicide drones use cameras (vision) to attack. If you can't see them, they can't see you! Contrast this to general aviation where planes can be kilometers up, behind cloud-cover and can attack you with radar-guided missiles.

Radar probably won't have high enough resolution and won't be able to differentiate between drones and birds. Not to mention that most drones are carbon fibre or plastic and won't have much of a radar return to begin with.

Conversely, vision systems could be trained to ID drones reliably, and could use data such as the high-frequency "beat" of the propellers to detect drones from just a few pixels of sensor data.
I think many are trying something along these lines. The devil is in the details.

The shotgun needs to be reloaded. The system needs to be reasonably reliable and durable. Feels like the range of the shotgun is also a problem. The system needs to have some sort of friend vs. foe identification, possibly not shoot at birds or other random objects. The camera needs to be able to deal with looking at the sun and low light, day and night, likely needs to be able to scan. Pretty soon you get to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx_CIWS

yes. Good intentions, maybe, but they induced Germany to surrender but then feel betrayed by the ultimate Treaty. It would have been better to just continue, let everyone in Germany realize they were beaten, and bring the troops home.

Well it depends if you're talking about React the UI library or React the increasingly popular underlying architecture. The former is vastly more popular by usage (I mean.. I assume) but the underlying approach to declarative-in-imperative turns out to work in other settings and seems to be gaining traction.
If it is "patently dangerous" to drive as though it is not the case that "the car in front of you is a brick wall" and that "the distance ... between you and them ...should be greater than the stopping distance of your car to a dead stop", then pretty much every driver I have ever seen in my entire life drives in a patently dangerous way. When perception time is included, this is 5.5 - 6.5 seconds, per a quick web search.

Couldn’t one make the argument that EVERYONE is in a bubble of sorts?

I (one of the SV tech workers you mention) was recently in rural Georgia for a cousin’s wedding, where I was shocked to learn that many people in the area considered the previous presidential election to have been stolen. I wanted to scream “you need to get out of your bubble!”
Most major cities I've been to have a train to the airport that is not part of the regular subway system. That requires a different type of ticket, etc.

This is especially because airports are frequently further out from a city than the subway system goes -- you need light rail.

But the A train is a subway that actually connects directly to the AirTrain which goes around the terminals at JFK.

So I don't think it's a reasonable complaint that you have to connect to an AirTrain that goes around the terminals, or that getting to Newark requires NJ Transit instead of MTA. This is entirely normal.

Also, the subway is not "the main" transit mode. For a huge proprotion of people in the metropolitan area, they rely just as much on NJ Transit, PATH, LIRR, and even Metro-North.

LaGuardia is honestly the only one that's annoying, because the connecting bus is more annoying.
Most Chinese universities still have this requirement, but my wife was able to pass the test without knowing how to swim (the instructor didn't really pay attention during the test). We fixed that before we went snorkeling on our honeymoon to Bali.

Ask HN: How to add value to newly launched product?
Hi HN,

We are seeing off-the-cuff interest in our new bootstrapped product. We know problem exists because we face it. We also know our solution is better because we have data around how fast our model runs and how quickly it processes data.

However, when Ireached out to potential customers I get lackluster response. We did convert at least two people into paid customers. For others though, we have not heard back.

I don't know whether this is symptom of solving for a small feature or market is just rough.

How can I communicate and add value to the product when it seems like a small feature but in reality it is a hard problem?

Black holes created in mergers carry information about ancestors
I think the issue is that of scope. Apple is not a mom and pop store, where you can just take your business elsewhere if you are unhappy. It is a global entity with means just to capture the market, but to dictate terms to it ( and by extension to its other participants ). We are now in a position where we effectively have two options ( Apple and Android ) and they both suck in their own special ways ( yes, we also have Purism and wossname, but last time I checked, neither is a decent daily driver ).

To address your main point, in theory at least, as a society, we should be able to tell government that something is not cool and address it as needed. The good news for Apple and most oligopolies now is that neither society or government can agree on.. anything really.
All through unelected bureaucrats, too.

I have a friend from HS who had no interest in computers beyond using them as appliances until he asked me how to extend the life of a shitty laptop that he owned and I suggested that he install Linux on it.

This was about 20s ago now and between now and then he's become a distrohopping person who is quite knowledgeable in hardware with no impetus from me beyond the initial push.

I look at what rural farmers can do when push comes to shove in all kinds of domains and I wonder why not with the general public and computers.

If we had a Cuban embargo type scenario where westerners couldn't get modern hardware and the operating systems that run on it they'd figure out how to.make.die with the cheapest and most reliable software/hardware combo.

And only sometimes. Other times he was a political campaigner. "Hey Don Jr, let's talk and coordinate the release of a bunch of DNC material when it can most benefit your dad's campaign. And don't worry, I'm sitting on the RNC material, it's safe."
That's probably the reason for using an LLM - you need to write dozens (one for each nominal entity, and a new one each time they nominally update their objectives/etc.) that are essentially indistinguishable, but directly copy/pasting would be noticed.

It seems like the Library of Congress should be making an effort to archive, in the same way archive.org is. People are constantly worried about archive.org shutting down. Having another source would be a good thing.

The LoC seems to have some web archiving going on, but it’s very selective. I don’t know how any good archivist can think they will know what will be important in the future.

I did a search for MTV and only got 3 results, and only 1 is actually from MTV. For the cultural significance MTV had, I find this hard to believe.

https://www.loc.gov/web-archives/?q=MTV

I can’t figure out how to actually view the archived page, which is also an issue. What good is an archive if it can’t be accessed.

Either way, it seems like if the government was going to put more money behind internet archiving, they’d fund their own service to make it better.
I was arguing with myself about adding additional context. It looks like I should have put it in.

In my professional experience, Go cannot consistently avoid producing binaries that fail when run on an incompatibly-different version of glibc than they were build and linked on.

Also. for most deployment situations, Go's "single, enormous binary" doesn't matter.

* In The Cloud(TM), you have full control over what you deploy. So, so, so often you have a custom VM or Docker image that you just squirt out there and automation to keep it updated and rebuilt, which makes deployment just trivial.

* On Windows, you have Windows Installer, which you can instruct to check for and install any prereqs you require. (It's incredible how all of the pieces to build a proper package manager have been in Windows since the early 2000s, and yet no package manager came out of MSFT.)

* On OSX, you either use the App Store or one of the handful of package managers... but I expect nearly zero non-Power-Users use the package managers. I guess there are also the nutballs who do 'curl $INSTALL_SCRIPT | sudo bash'.

* On Linux... well nearly zero non-Power-Users run desktop Linux, and those that do likely already have Ruby, Python, Perl, and GCC installed.

How I Built a Homemade Swamp Cooler
I don't think I mentioned communism anywhere, even once. Or made any argument supporting it.

I simply explained what a market is.

I guess even not having the correct 'stringent tone' in favor of capitalism can make you a communist now. It is super hard to tell, not the first time I've simply explained a free market and been called a communist. It's almost like you have to express cult like warship for the 'idea' of a free market or you are communist.

"buy people's time"

Sounds so benign, but from the thread, I think it was pretty clear that we aren't just talking time. Some of the other examples used are really about "people so desperate they would do anything", which is also as you say not "bad", lives are "just something that could be bought and sold".

Again, I'm not saying anything in favor of communism. I'm just outlining a market. Companies are people right? Time is money, life is time. Desperate times call for desperate measures, all's fair, and on and on.

Lets not be all pro-free-market, then clutch our pearls when it leads to some questionable choices.

Citing a law on what copyright permissions are granted to libraries and archives does not define what an archive is nor what archiving entails.
Sure but the essence of it, the reason that it works, is that it shims a declarative architecture into JS. It works because it turns out UI programming works better in a declarative style.The fact that that involves managing state is secondary.

I expect that in fifty years all programming will look declarative, either like HTML (which is sorta 'natively declarative') or more like React (which shims it into an imperative language).
Aren't they right now? All I see is similar monopolistic and anticompetitive practices pushed through different product lines.
