As others have already stated, without either actual paying users (not the celebrities) or some form of advertising costs can become very high quite fast.

Even though you are against all forms of advertising, some really privacy oriented form of it may be acceptable by your intended users.
Some thoughts:

- Users need to disclose some topics/subtopics (either broad or even very niche interests)

- The ads need to be conformant to some predefined, non-intrusive style guide: maybe black-and-white or a limited color palette and font selection. This could lead to interesting and even creative ads on the platform

- Advertisers could get anonymized click-counts for their specific categories, and maybe some other category-based info, but user data would be immediately aggregated and not used for specific targeting

- Base users would see 1/3 ads in their feeds, but some payments could reduce this to 1/5, 1/8, all the way to zero.

This approach might provide the intended privacy benefits with much less noise, but also not alienate the average user that expects social to be free of any cost.

These days I can't even use pidgin for xmpp, because the omemo plugin is too wonky. Now someone I'm sure will say I'm just holding it wrong and that may be so.. but I doesn't work for me despite trying for a reasonable amount of time to get it working.

And regarding other protocols I'm too scared these days. Every company is running algorithms looking for deviants to perma-shadow-ban and I just can't risk something like that.
Well, it's because working Americans are worse off, anybody who didn't recognize this a long time ago is surely not the least bit up-to-date by now.

And the reason for financial distress is primarily a result of having no choice to elect anything but Democrats & Republicans, where both parties have proven to be financially reckless enough to compromise the wealth of a Nation. In a compounding way. That you may have to do the math to understand.

Now this is The Economist and they're trying as hard as they can to criticize Trump, including reminders of his well-recognized low-class behavior. Although it's well-deserved criticism, I wasn't going to pile it on, but there's still deceptive influence here that just adds to the ridiculously exaggerated hype when it comes to Trump's competency:

>With his sophisticated grasp of new and legacy media and his instinct for the basic needs and fears of many Americans,

Give me a break. Trump's closest professional associates have confirmed beyond doubt that he doesn't have a sophisticated grasp of very many things at all. Especially things like this that some people give him undue credit for. All he really did is appeal to an idolizing fanbase that grows by absorbing those who were less sophisticated than traditional Republicans used to be in general, and stoking them with additional fears that he can be praised over his exaggerated hatred for. That surely is very many Americans but it's strictly on the basis of the degree of idolization he can "feel" firsthand, nothing more sophisticated than that.

>Biden ... was ... no longer up to the demands of presidential communication that Mr Trump understands so well.

From what people see in the media, Biden may be bumbling, but there is a very wide consensus that most of what Trump displays is completely non-Presidential. Every President before him set a bar which he has never been able to come close to reaching.

>“Can you believe he endorsed me?” Mr Trump chortled at a rally in North Carolina on November 3rd, gloating over how Mr McConnell eventually fell into line. Mr Trump felt no obligation to reciprocate. “Hopefully we get rid of Mitch McConnell pretty soon,” he said.

I would say the odds are not zero that one day Trump may be saying this about Elon Musk :\
> Minnesota is not on that map

This. Thinking that the complexity of a spec is the primary obstacle to adoption seems logical at first. But it can't be true if you consider that the specs of all kinds of "foundational technologies" we use daily - HTML/CSS/JS/the DOM, IMAP, USB, IP, etc - are not just complicated but often downright messy, full of overengeneered, inconsistent or contradictory features.

I'd argue that the "beauty" or "ugliness" of a spec can make the life of the particular programmer who has to implement it slightly easier or harder - but it has very little effect on whether it is implemented or not. That's a product decision which follows completely different considerations.

> But my. whole point all this time is that there is no line in many jurisdictions.

No. Your point was that Trump will protect kids and non-Trump-until-now does not, which is implied by the fact that you wrote it in a list of reasons that made you vote for Trump. Because apparently, in your head, if there is not an age written in a law, it means that everybody tries to abuse kids and nobody tries to do what's best for them in good faith.

At this point I am not sure if you can understand the concept I am going to introduce, but let me try: do you realise that people can't be abused even after they turn 18 (or 16, or 15, or 21, or many other numbers)? The root problem is to understand when doing this medical intervention is helping vs when it is "abusive" (or maybe we could say "not helping" and not pretend that people who agree with their kid doing this and their doctors and whoever is involved are necessarily criminals). Age is not everything. It's actually a pretty shitty metric, but I guess you have to go with what you can comprehend.

By interviewing random people you can easily find people who say seemingly dumb shit that make members of a particular political party look incredibly stupid.

A video of a random Trump supporter misunderstanding tarrifs is not a steelman argument against Trump supporters.

In the same way coastal liberals denying the assassination attempt and calling it a hoax is not a steelman argument against liberalism.

Both sides do this but theres a particular brand of "dumb out of touch liberals" that is pervasive on social media.
>They are, apparently, which is why it's a failure.

The purpose of the criminal justice system is not be a cudgel with which to eliminate political opponents. The infamous "34 felonies" were from a state trial in New York; the state of New York does not get to arbitrarily deny the rest of the country their choice in president. Evidently the rest of the country does not consider these to be serious enough to disqualify him from holding office.
An obvious use case is just ridesharing. Multiple companies want to launch midsize satellites? Rather than paying for multiple Falcon 9 launches group up a few into one Starship launch and save a lot of money.

This is actually really interesting history, but I wonder about apps like Line, which the Japanese still prefer. It's not a great app, but it's a user app, not a corporate one.
Not saying they're stupid but that they're easily misled.

Manufacturing jobs are not coming back to the US in large quantities. Period.

Even if you apply tariffs to force large companies to leave China, they'll go to other countries -- India, Vietnam, etc.

The one thing that might work is to provide huge tax incentives to entice foreign companies to build factories in the US -- but that has proven to have limited effect -- remember Foxconn supposed huge investment in a factory in the US?

The only place this _might_ work is in high-end chips, such as TSMC -- but those are not the "manufacturing jobs" in Ohio and PA that disappeared.

But mostly, the manufacturing jobs won't come back because companies are rushing to replace them with machines as quickly as possible. So sure, a factory might open in the US, but it won't employ many people.
And conveniently, they and their families were always very far from those front lines.
> Please stop telling people "they will never be Japanese" since it's blatantly wrong.

You are wrong here. You will indeed never be Japanese if you haven't both 2 ethnic Japanese parents and raised in Japanese (second-generation raised abroad, for instance in South American are out). You can't rewrite all your DNA and go back in time to have a Japanese education in Japan.

The real issue is why caring so much about "becoming" Japanese? You can integrate in Japanese society as a foreigner, and being treated as an outsider also has its perks. Typically you are not expected to follow some of the rules, and thus has less bullshit to deal with. Just be careful of not becoming too good in Japanese (or at least pretend not to be), so you can maximize the benefits of speaking Japanese while minimizing the expectations.

Search for the source NYT article, as this slashdot post is simply aggregation
I guess if the arch’s varargs conventions do something other than put each 32-bit value in a 64-bit “slot” (likely for inputs that end up on the stack, at least), then some of the arguments will not line up. Probably some of the last args will get combined into high/low parts of a 64-bit register when moved into registers to pass to the kernel. And then subsequent register inputs will get garbage from the stack.

Need to cast them to long or size_t or whatever to prevent this.
I posit that Japan is able to keep its "exoticness" (to much of the world) as a culture because the cultural osmosis that comes from having a populace with good English skills promotes homogenization. I imagine a Japan that's highly fluent in English will look a lot more similar to S. Korea.

I might go to extend this theory and say the quality of English literacy in Japan is intentionally kneecapped at some level in an attempt to retain their cultural identity, even if unconsciously.
In some countries there is sometimes a cable & data connection owner and then a separate service provider. Laws regulate that the cable provider must let other companies provide connections to customers over their cables. The service provider pays the cable owner for a bulk of data that its customers use. The cable owner can't charge more than it charges itself when it acts as a service provider.

Not sure if that made sense! I pay company B but my fibre connection is provided by Company A. If I want to change to Company C I start a contract with C and the only thing I change is the cable modem.
As an example, Australia wants one. I can't remember if Geneva or Vienna type or both. Last time I've been there was 2019 and my country uses the Latin alphabet too (it was invented here.) The official document is the country's of origin driving license but basically owning a valid IDP states that your country and the destination country are signatories of one of those two conventions and agree to let their own citizens drive in both countries with no need of further tests.

Some countries recognize some foreign driving licenses, at least for a while, without the need of the IDP. The USA is one of them but it has been a long time since I drove a car there so it could have changed or be regulated state by state and not at federal level. The USA is a signatory of the 1949 Geneva convention.
> make sense from an environmental and workers point of view

from an environmental point of view, yes, by reducing consumption; but that's not why people voted for Trump -- they did because they thought it would lower their prices at the supermarket. it won't do that.
> aesthetes like Jobs

Just want to point out that Steve Jobs merely happened to be really good at aesthetics (which is more downstream from how he was really good at manipulating people). Reading up on his life's story is pretty revealing in the sense that if he hadn't run into someone like Wozniak, he probably would've ended up like Zuckerberg or Thiel and had more in common with them than people would realize. (Not necessarily much in common with Musk though, who is his own particular brand of awful.)

He had very little morals outside of "whatever gets me ahead in the world", and it's just that Wozniak's actual skill with computers meant that translated to Apple instead of skeezier things. Apple was itself founded on money that Jobs stole from Wozniak after all (money that Wozniak later pointed out he would just have given to Jobs anyway if he told him what the plan was.)

The fact he made Apple isn't anything to scoff at, but one wrong turn in life and he probably would've ended up in the same position as most other awful tech billionaires (and unlike most of them, he wouldn't have been a charisma void.)
Mosaic evolution of a learning and memory circuit in Heliconiini butterflies
NextDoor is an...interesting...place from which to select a sample of voters. There are plenty of stupid people to go around, and Trump certainly doesn't have a monopoly on them--I would argue that the Left's appeals to various identity voters are also explicitly courting stupid people, they're just insulated by being members of protected classes.

The example you gave is an interesting one, because it's a situation where a very real concern--the public resources of small communities being stretched beyond their limits because the federal government refuses to enforce immigration law--was deflected by the media to something ridiculous. ("Brown people are invading our towns and eating our cats!") People voted for Trump because they saw through that kind of tactic, and they're far from stupid for doing so.

> If the relationship is valuable to you, it requires maintaining. Following each other on social media isn't the same.

Maybe not to you, but to some people it is incredibly valuable for maintaining relationships. And these are kids about to part with most of their friends for the first time, you can't rely on them having learned your insightful life lessons by this point. I'm guessing you've never been felt the negative effects being left out of a social circle can have? Relationships aren't binary, not everyone is best friends or strangers. Lots of room in between for people to bond or be left out.

Agreed.

Back in the 2011 timeline, I printed and read the spec front-to-back to implement what was effectively an "early Microsoft Teams" (a real-time, chat-oriented client connected to SharePoint)[0] using XMPP.

The spec is very easy to read, understand, and implement.

I think on top of your points (and maybe adjacent or extended from that point) is that I think some entities like Google were probably seeking more wire efficiency over the XMPP protocol and possibly wanted to innovate/iterate faster. There was a wave of "real-time" collaborative apps at that time and I can appreciate the need for teams to innovate faster.

> Does it suggest that suppression of speech goes hand in had with pandering to the Trump administration?

Apologies for not being clear. I'll clarify.

My view is that US foreign policy is uniparty. No matter who is in the White House or controls Congress, there is always money for weapons.

So in that sense, suppressing speech that doesn't align with US foreign policy isn't pandering to one party or the other. It's moving in lockstep with the US State Department.

Meta is increasingly comfortable becoming a government tool for mass surveillance and, essentially, a weapons manufacturer. So while that part is uniparty, you have to then consider what those weapons will be used for.

Trump openly campaigned on mass deportations and has said since the election has confirmed that the mass deporation program will begin the first day of his administration [1]. It would be naive to think that social media platforms won't be used to identify targets for mass deportation. No one, particularly Zuckerberg, can argue this is a surprise.

So Zuckerberg has either endorsed the mass deportation plan or at least not considered it a deal breaker. I wonder how the staff that actually created his fortune feel about this. Not good overall I suspect.

Compare this to the Harris agenda. Were there any similar uses for social media likely? Not that I can recall. So one side wants to build concentration camps and the other doesn't.

So yes, Zuckerberg has quite clearly cozied up to the Trump administration.
