There are many parties, generally referred to as "third parties", but there are also many systems working to ensure that only the two parties everyone knows about have any power. First-past-the-post is a big part of the problem, and both parties campaign against alternatives like instant-runoff and ranked-choice voting. The "Big Two" also control televised debates, and have consistently raised requirements for participation in order to exclude other parties. The big parties, big corporations and the big media are all aligned in this, refusing the discuss third parties except in terms of spoilers. People who might vote for a third party are routinely reprimanded for helping the other big party win.

The other option is to try to change a party through the primary process, but the Democratic party in particular has a process very well insulated against public influence. "Super Delegates" (party insiders) until very recently had open and official votes that could easily override a choice by primary voters. In a lawsuit filed after the Democratic Party fought to ensure Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders, a leading member the Democratic Party argued, in court and under oath, the that party was a private organization and had NO OBLIGATION to use any kind of democratic process to chose its nominee. In this last election they didn't even have a primary.

I live in the U.S., I vote, at best I consider it a very flawed, or perhaps well controlled, democracy. In many cases a majority of voters prefer policy changes that are simply off the table for both major parties. Examples are things like winding down the war on drugs, ensuring abortion access, and raising the minimum wage. Neither party will do anything about these issues at the national level, and any progress being made is at the state level - largely in states that have a ballot initiative process where voters can (in some ways) bypass the usual party-controlled political process.
It's not a choice between going to raves or staying at home and using apps. There are other options.
What we need is another job board board that covers all the job board boards so we can find all the job boards.
The idea of transferring registration from one student to another without input from the university is bananas to me. But only slightly more stupid than not having waitlists which is the only reason that exists in the first place.

My alma mater let people register in descending order of number of completed credits with a C or better (e.g. 2.0), and then GPA, in waves. Same with dorm sign ups which were required for everyone but seniors. It worked out great and professors always had enough slack to let special cases in if they felt compelled to.

Making it random seems like a bad idea to me. It's "fair" only insofar as randomness is fair. For high-demand classes isn't it more "fair" that people who will graduate sooner and/or have done better in their classes thus far should have the first opportunity to get those classes?
Like clockwork.

The HN community's response to the Raspberry Pi is the most sustained example of tech industry gift-horse-examination I can think of.

Here they are with a wide range of SBCs and microcontrollers at a wide range of price points, with a level of industrial support, OS support, community support and documentation that none of their competitors match, committing to (and displaying the fruits of that commitment to) support each piece of hardware for over a decade, and HN is like:

"Who cares I got this N100 on Aliexpress from a company with a procedurally generated brand name who don't respond to support requests, will never issue a firmware or driver update, and will be impossible to find before my next birthday, if I can figure out who actually manufactures this at all"

Dudes. It's not the same picture.

And sure, secondhand PCs. Good. But that is a completely different, entirely subjective comparison.
This is pretty blatant extortion on their part. It reminds me of MIT and Aaron Schwartz.
You're absolutely right, the 'most websites will fail' note is there because we're still in development, and the browser doesn't yet handle the long tail of web APIs.

That said, the architecture's coming together and the performance gains we're seeing make us excited about what's possible as we keep building. Feedback is very welcome, especially on what APIs you'd like to see us prioritize for specific workflows and use cases.
I agree for arbitrary hardware that’s out there, but SteamOS + Steam Deck are well tested and fit together tightly, and they “just work” to a much greater degree than Windows + ${equivalent hardware}.

> Taking a hobbyist weekend project and turning it into a PRODUCT means spending long boring nights fixing those sharp edges and fixing bugs and looking for issues etc. This is work that very few people do in the open source world (due to lack of skills or motivation or whatever), but without this grind the product isn't a product yet but just an alpha demo.

Valve does this work for Steam Deck, and the ripple effect of their product has improved all distros’ ability to run Windows programs. If they continue to gain market share I could see more of their hard work in areas like audio, Bluetooth, or power management trickling down to general desktop Linux too.

They probably won’t contribute much in the way of desktop productivity software, though much of KDE or Gnome’s core apps have been of acceptable quality for years.
true, i loaded up my save to try the visualizer, but i just have to fix my factory energy output first real quick
Also the font isn't incredibly easy to read on Windows. I'm assuming Georgia was selected? Which has been on Windows for years but renders so badly it looks like the font color isn't black, even though I think it is black? This isn't really your fault but I would have stuck to Times New Roman for Windows' sake.
Some of us are just synthesis hobbyists and the musical part comes second. Exploration is a joy.
7500 firefighters were deployed across socal. You have anecdata about how you perceive firefighters to be deployed, not data. Another factor was the winds prevented any air support until very recently and contributed towards heavy ember spread.
I can confirm that both web client and iOS apps cannot connect to servers at this point. There was a server outage earlier today, not sure if it's related.
Can I upload my web server as a docker to Lambda and have it run forever there? I though Lambdas were supposed to be more short lived (like a couple hours), is that not the case? It's been a while since I actually looked at Lambda because GCP run is so clean.
Less critical, but video games are the same way. Companies will press and ship discs with known broken games and then issue a patch of dozens of GBs day one. The whole point of having a disc is when all the servers are off line, and the store have shut down, the game is still playable.
middlemen to what?
I think part of it is that it's difficult to use bright colors well. It's very easy to go overboard and be tacky with non-neutrals.

My wife and I worked with a designer for our house, and we agreed that we would not leave a single wall white. The results are fantastic, and the house has so much more personality than would be possible with a neutral pallet. But the color and wallpaper choices were very deliberate and considered, not to mention how expensive the whole process was.
Is using any kind of job board very privacy focused?

At some point you're adding / providing all kinds of personal information anyway.
The Day Google Killed the Pixel 4a
Absolutely. Airbnb is great if you want a really unusual stay. Like a treehouse in the Scottish highlands. It should corner that market.

But if you just want an apartment, go stay in a nice hotel.

I stayed at https://another.place in the English Lakes and it was delightful, and only slightly more expensive than an AirBnb in the same area. And like you say... I got breakfast included. Maybe hoteliers will see this as a sign that the pendulum is swinging back if they up their game.
This is also the stated rationale for Cloudflare’s generous free tier. They build loyalty with hobby and side projects, and engineers take that familiarity to work with them.
as another poster pointed out, they have 104 job listings for software developers right now, so yeah. this article is just an ad.
> It seems like the only way to really combat this is through closed / semi-closed trusted networks,

This is the only way. The cost of spinning up a new identity on the web (with supporting documents, pictures, etc) is near zero now. There's only 3 or 4 things to really vet people, and those can be faked with more effort.

The only real way to vet someone nowadays is IRL, and that requires non-trivial effort but provides most guarantees you'd want in new participants in an online community.

> I'm getting a sense of being close to that point already and I don't know what the right move is from here to reduce the fracturing of my wider social circles.

I have this feeling too. My guess is that social circles will be less fluid and dynamic. Traditional centers of trust will become more important.

It depends on intended usage. If I want to run it as a desktop computer - this is one case (who would do it - another question). It is very different if I want to deploy it in every room of my home. RPi used to be the solution for the second type of problem: ad-hoc smart things with exceptional connectivity and above-average computing power.

> It's morphed a little bit from the original field so the name isn't super accurate.

I'm currently doing a masters in IMSE--Industrial and Management Systems Engineering--and yeah it's changed since the 70s or whenever it had its real heyday (they come in waves).

The updated curriculum for undergrad is essentially the same as a mechanical engineering for the first two years, but as they wander off into advanced mechanics and fluids, IMSE students are doing time studies, factory design (FLOW!), and lots of stats and algorithms.

I've actually had the pleasure of getting to gripe to our school's Industrial Advisory Board which seems mostly full of Boeing people. They want to know if the curriculum serves the students well and I preach to them that, actually, if you spend 6 or 9 extra credits on proper software engineering that you've created a monster... but they don't listen. Some even get kind of offended because they think that a career in project management is a fine way to go about life (why go to engineering school?)

Sorry programming blows your mind? Perhaps that's why we need to teach it? I've done a lot of ERP integrations in my career and I'm not sure who they think is most qualified to do those sorts of things.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve been thinking about the wording too—and you might be right, perhaps highlighting the Magic Node as the mainstay vs BYON being a smaller, side feature might help sell the main value prop. I’ll try clearing that up!

You originally wrote that extortion of funds is an ongoing pervasive issue:

> In general, the racketeers will ask for a fee whether they have rights to the IP or not. They play the numbers counting on people not calling their bluff, and googles limited 3 strikes policy on channel publishers.

The three links you provided are all about the same, single, extreme case - from seven years ago - that ended with YouTube suing the person who was extorting money.

I still don’t think there is any evidence that extortion of money through abuse of notice-and-takedown is an ongoing pervasive issue.

Not sure. According to this there are 40M given a year in the US,

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38021512/

which is about 1 in 9 people. If those scans were evenly distributed everyone would get several in a lifetime although there is probably a Pareto thing going on to the effect that "20% of people get 80% of the scans".

It's pretty routine for common soft tissue injuries. My son got a minor injury at work and had a Workman's Comp claim and got his knee scanned (puts a bound on liability I guess); I got my knee scanned because I'd had patello-femoral pain for a while and wanted to try steroid injections (didn't stick with it, my wife has given steroid injections to numerous horses, she tells me it helps in the short term but not the long term) Like my scan his scan came back with "degenerative changes consistent with your age".

It may be a waste in most cases

> Many people believe that programming is an essential skill. In my opinion, programming is just a tool. Modern no-code and low-code platforms have made this skill less critical for entering the field.

I'm going to push back against this, mainly because of version control.

I've seen data teams that work without version control - everything is done with ad-hoc SQL scripts and Jupyter notebooks and queries shared via Slack or pasted in Google Docs - and it's a huge mess.

The great weakness of no-code platforms in my opinion is that they rarely integrate well with version control.

I think having a culture of version control in a data team leads to a culture of transparency and repeatability, which makes the overall quality of the outcomes significantly higher.

Entirely possible that someone isn't aware that alternatives exist! I was not aware until recently when I took up photography again and started looking for alternatives to Adobe.

The nice bonus is that there are plenty of guides out there to teach how to migrate between Lightroom and darktable/rawtherapee. As someone who doesn't have much experience with Lightroom it was actually more difficult to learn I think because I wasn't sure how best to even edit photos, now that I have learned some basics there it was mostly figuring out how to do that in darktable.

Masks were a little bit of an interesting conundrum, and I think one of the bigger losses switching to darktable might be the lack of AI masks, if someone is dependent on those for any reason.

As a hobbyist darktable fills the need for me I think.
It's an unintended consequence of the system being so laughably out of date and so poorly designed it doesn't support waitlists.

Allowing infinitely large waitlists for a given class - which even in the most convoluted legacy system imaginable is not that big of a challenge - and trading disappears overnight.

It's not a problem for the university directly, and fixing it would cost money, so there's no incentive to do it. Gotta make sure there's enough money to keep paying the president $76,000 every month, after all.
This is exactly the answer imo. We have subtitle files, which is in effect a cache. Process once, read many times.

So while I'm excited this feature is now available, having high quality subtitles cached in one place and generated by AI is the answer imo.
Fair point, and I tried to call that out elsewhere in my comment. Though IMO it's not entirely a class problem. Males as a gender do have certain tendencies that require (more? different?) nurturing to avoid antisocial outcomes. (I say this as a male who has struggled with antisocial behavior and seen it in my peers.)

Artificial Intelligence and Electricity: A System Dynamics Approach
The same way people justify killing in wars, regardless of how justified they feel the wars are.

The "enemy" combatants are of course just operating within the parameters of their laws. Nevertheless, war is seen as a battle between two competing powers which discard human lives in their struggle.

This is a different type of war being fought now. Brian Thompson didn't create the system, he was just a high-ranking agent.

Luigi declared war against the system, and people feel so strongly about the necessity for that system to be defeated that they can simultaneously support the resistance (even if the resistance had no choice but to play by its own rules) and recognize the tragedy in a death and the associated impact of that.

It's similar to how a lot of people feel about the Palestinian resistance in their struggle for liberation from the profoundly evil system of violence which has been victimizing them for years and killing them with impunity.
> A mostly fixed set of hardware

But it's not. Over time they've revised the SOC (processor) and gone from 32 to 64 bit capability. The latest - Pi 5 - has totally re-architected the I/O subsystem, putting most I/O functions on their RP1 chip and connecting that to the SOC using PCIE.

And as already mentioned, the unusual boot sequence: The GPU takes control on power up and loads the initial code for the CPU.

All of the OSs I'm aware of that run on the Pi depend on "firmware" from the Raspberry Pi folk. Looking at the files in the folder that holds this stuff, it's pretty clear that every variant of the Pi has a file that somehow characterizes it.

This article is in stark contrast to how the same issue was treated when it was about Kashmir. I guess the implicit idea is that if a foreign government does it to a population, it is bad, but if a native government does it, the same exact policy is good?

While India’s sudden decision to revoke Kashmir’s autonomy has inflamed tensions with neighboring Pakistan, critics say the move could also drastically alter the demographic composition of the disputed territory itself — and some have warned it could come to resemble Israeli settlement in the West Bank.

By stripping Kashmir of its special status, India’s government has done away with a law that allowed Kashmir to limit land ownership and permanent residency to natives of the country’s only Muslim majority state. Analysts say the change could bring about a profound transformation of Kashmir’s population that would exacerbate unrest there.
