The Web (like the world) is constantly changing. If you're interested in mitigating the potential harms of social media, you're going to have to form a definition of "social media" that fits with your own goals and values, and the goals and values you set for your kids. Then, evaluate from there.

They already do something like this, but only for pirates (the computer kind). That's because Hollywood makes a credible story that illegal copying of movies loses the USA billions of dollars. It also helps they pay millions to politicians. You don't pay millions to politicians to enhance the credibility of your story that personal data theft costs the USA billions.
First, I think it's great that you have a couple of relationships that are at that level which is definitely not a given.

Second, I love that you decided to reach out to that old friend because relationships come and go and it's never to late to pick up an old friendship.

As for your final point, if the idea is to call someone in order to replace the classic facebook passive stalking I think it's fine if the conversation never goes too deep. It's a way to show you care and sometimes it's all that matters. Maybe in doing that, when it's time to have deeper conversations, they'll remember that you called them and showed interest. And that's something they can't see if you just scroll their facebook page.

And I'm saying you generically, not talking about you specifically.

But I do get what you're saying, if every time you talk to someone you have shallow chats, after a while you might start wondering what's the point.
Why imagine?

If you’re genuinely curious then ask the firefighters in Norway. In urban areas around the third of the cars on the road are EVs. And there’s probably a wider range of models than anywhere in the world.

When asked firefighters say that EVs are an improvement. Even if it’s a bit trickier to deal with a fire when there is one, there are significantly less fires than with ICE, and it takes longer for the fires to reach their peak intensity.

There was also a big fire in an airport parking garage recently. Started by a parked ICE car. Not a single battery pack ignited in that fire. Imagine if they were all EVs. No fuel poured on the fire at all (except the plastics and such of course)

There’s no reason why the car should become a superheated slag with the right equipment. All you need to do is to apply water to keep it cool, and that will generally keep the battery from getting too hot and igniting the combustible materials. There’s a lot of development in making good equipment for this. There’s was a study showing that a garden-hose like device that sprays water evenly on the battery from the underside can keep the battery cool with fairly little water use. Another study showed that you can use even less water by drilling a hole in the battery pack and injecting water directly into it. I imagine firefighters will eventually get some kind of remote controlled rover that can safely do that operation at a distance.

So there’s lots of room for improvement but EVs are already a step in towards safer cars.

Congratulations! And thank you for the great write-up. I work with the Chromium code base a lot, and it can indeed be daunting. I use Sublime Text, which treats the code as plain text, apart from syntax highlighting. But it's also possible with at least VS Code to get some more intelligence, such as going to the definition or declaration of a function, etc.

The thing is that it’s not that important if it hurts the company long term. If the company is big enough, any of those "managers" have plenty of time to make a great career there for several years if not more.

imo, that’s the issue when company’s ownership gets so diluted that nobody have personal interest anymore in the company’s long term viability.

Heck when your company is owned by private equity, even the company itself becomes a line in some excel spreadsheet. And you’d better not get that conditional formatting turn to red.
Most of those words are engPM packages. The trick is to not include the `architecture` package, if you're just making toast.
I hope they actually provide a working multiplayer, unlike HOMAM7, where the multiplayer is completely broken, and therefore fake. With HOMAM7 you buy a game thinking you will be able to play with friends, but beware, the game desyncs the moment when you could in any way interact with another player on the map. I will not forgive Ubisoft for pulling that one. I even reported this issue, but the technical support was very lacking and they acted as if this was surprising. Some back and forth with them led nowhere.

Since then I am very cautious when it comes to any new Heroes games. If Ubisoft has its hands in it, I would recommend everyone to first check whether what they deliver is actually working. Do not buy until proven to work. Otherwise they might pull a fraud you.
I don't like Emacs Lisp a whole lot. It's probably my second least favorite Lisp to interact with. (Least favorite is Autolisp.) But it's a Lisp, it's gotten much better over the years, and it has lots of features that make automating what Emacs does really stinking convenient. Automating a task to smooth out a workflow usually takes maybe a page or two of Emacs Lisp, tops. And I can piece it together and try it out, live, in the editor session I'm doing my work in. Visual Studio Code has nothing comparable.
Is there anything like this list but for Azure?
Yeah, there really should be something akin to human mortality risks available, but for cars. Human mortality is always divided up by age, and various car risks should also be divided up by model year.
Companies go out business because someone from China stole their intellectual property, that isn't uncommon. There are companies like riskiq and bitsight that rank your security posture, which other companies use to decide on giving you their business. If it is between your ransomwared company and the competition, you just lost a business advantage there. Azure and Microsoft are bad example, as is Experian, they don't have much competition. I think the whole ransomware trend has skewed how people think about security. It isn't just outages like the ones caused by ransomware that are a concern, keeping secrets and confidential information from your competition is a big deal. as is the trust of your clients, that you will protect their information.

> Managing risk to the tolerances necessary to make money is necessary for business. That's what's being done.

I agree, but that isn't what is being done at most places. Every organization should spend as much as their risk tolerance allows them to do so on security. My problem is with spending as little as possible without getting into legal trouble.

Show HN: ReliableTokens – Discover Reliable Crypto Tokens Early Before They Moon
ReliableTokens (https://reliabletokens.com) is an AI-driven tool that analyzes hundreds of Telegram channels to identify trending cryptocurrency tokens before they gain widespread attention.

Key technical features:

- Monitors 200+ Telegram channels 24/7
- Uses LLMs to identify recurring mentions and sentiment
- Provides real-time updates via web dashboard and Telegram bot

I built this to address the information overload in the crypto space. The system processes vast amounts of messages from Telegram, applying llms to extract meaningful patterns and trends.

I'm particularly interested in feedback on this approach to data analysis and how it might be improved. Any insights on scaling the system or enhancing the accuracy of trend predictions would be greatly appreciated.

As a side note for the HN community, I'm offering extended trial access to gather more diverse user feedback. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to test it more thoroughly.

Looking forward to any technical discussions or critiques!

No, just because I find the default Google experience in Android annoying, and I don't see why they should know everything about me. Thanks to ublock, adaway and pi.hole I don't see ads anyway.
The key is realizing that the system itself creates the result - no conspiracy needed. Everything naturally results as a consequence of the way the entire system is built, as sure as water will run downhill.

That everything isn’t already like this everywhere is because of active work by individuals, companies, and governments to stop and dam the natural flow.

It is entirely frightening once you realize that total enshittification of various industries is being held back by one company or even one CEO/owner. And those times will pass.

Sure, that makes sense. Out of curiosity, do you know of any way to design a syscall ABI that's not C-like that was either used in the past or would have some advantages if a new OS adopted it? I imagine that lisp machines did things differently, but a) I don't know whether they had syscalls as such or simply offered kernel services as regular functions and b) they did have microcode support for tagged integers and objects.

I'm asking since I want to get into (hobbyist) OS development at some point and would love to know if there's a better way to do syscalls.

> When you are thinking forward for optimizations, you may re-evaluate your thoughts on the right stack.

Most projects never get there and even the ones that survive would be well served by a single EC2 instance.

Nothing about that stack jumps out as that problematic, maybe go with a PostgreSQL instance running in a container if need be, but the rest can scale pretty well both horizontally and vertically.

If it becomes a problem then just throw some more money at resources to fix it and if at some point the sums get so substantial that it feels bad to do that, congratulations, you’ve made it far enough to rework your architecture.
I am equally amazed and horrified. Fonts shouldn't do that. ;-)

I think the follow up games to HOMAM3 suffered a lot from focus on graphics and looks, opposed to investing more time into gameplay, map design, and computer opponents. They lost a lot of charm. Skeptical, whether yet another 3D graphics title will reach the heights of HOMAM3. Just too much effort spent on unimportant stuff. Maybe hire some good 2D artists.

Big pet peeve also: A Heroes game without a hex grid battle field just feels wrong. Square logic is easier, but come on, get good developers and look at something like https://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/ and figure out the logic. It is not magic.
No. If you go looking, you will find plenty of counter-examples in History. You just made a statement that the top handful of catastrophic examples were representative of the bunch.

You have massive selection bias in your sample. “Morally-based decision ends well” is not exactly something that makes headlines or that is seized upon by historians to explain memorable cataclysmic events.

You don’t need to be an ethics expert to see a difference between moral principles that lead to suffering, and moral principles that don’t.

Waving away all morality in moral nihilism is teenage-level ethical sophistication.

The bigger problem I've seen is high turnover rates in the industry. The people who built and know the system leave. There wasn't a sufficient window for KT (knowledge transfer), so you're left with a bunch of new devs who only have a surface level understanding of the code and architecture. Productivity drops severely because every new feature requires several hours of reading code / reverse engineering. Then these new features often break other things because the devs don't know the intricacies of the system, so many more hours are spent fixing the bugs.
scary good demos.
> In other words: the inner workings of a company are by definition a black box and only an insider can leak screenshots or damning data to prove they break a law in the first place.

In reality, no one gets fined based on whims and wishes, but after investigations, just like in this case:

> The DPA said it started the investigation after more than 170 French drivers complained to a French human rights interest group, which then filed a complaint to France's data protection watchdog.

> Under the GDPR, a business that processes data in several EU countries must deal with the data protection authority where its main office is located. Uber's European headquarters are in the Netherlands.

https://www.lemonde.fr/en/economy/article/2024/08/26/uber-fi...

Seems the investigation uncovered that Uber didn't process data in their European headquarters but instead sent the data to the US, otherwise there obviously wouldn't be any basis for the fine.
