Librewolf is not barely tweaking Firefox, it's disabling all the ads and tracking, exactly like Chromium does.

Also uBlock Lite was not "remedied quickly", it took Mozilla a month to react, only after media pressure, gorhill describing their interactions as "hostile and absurd". He refused to reupload the extension to the store, where it is still missing to this day.

The last thing that separates Firefox from Chrome is uBlock Origin, which is a very thin line. Apart from that, the entire product and political strategy is the same than Google's.
We need an alternative before it's too late.
Indeed, we are well aware.
It's also how proliferation of advances happen. Nothing advances unless someone tries it, and trying it costs money.
And that’s my point really. US tech companies have all kowtowed to CCP for the past two decades trying to gain access to the second largest economy.
> I feel like the actual big difference between social media when we were in high school (hello age cohort pal) and social media now is the algorithmic feed.

Bringo.

The day Facebook implemented the feed as the main page rather than the original homepage was the day social media went sideways. It's little more than a Skinner box with a bright candy coating and it has just gotten more egregious over time. It's right on the tin, "Feed".

I'd be interested to see how much R&D budget has gone into hiring persons in the field of psychology to tweak the dopamine treadmill over time.
Not necessarily that either. You’ll only possibly receive a charge if your conduct was intentionally misleading with purpose to harm. Yelling “fire” in a theater while in a Gen Z crowd (“this is fire”) or while listening to Metallica (“Fight fire with fire”) isn’t going to get a charge either, even if it possibly causes a stampede. The crime therefore could be accomplished with far more alternative words than just “fire.”

The point is: Legal experts unanimously agree this analogy is terrible and should never be used. The Supreme Court also thought so, completely overturning the case it originated from just several years later.

I have a theory about language acquisition that I've never had the time to fully explore, that developing an ear for a language is the critical first step.

To that end, my theory would be that a program of imitation & mimicry would be the most effective way to learn. That you would hear a native speaker say a phrase and attempt to fluently imitate it. Specifically, record your voice as you speak and listen to what you say and try to as perfectly as possible imitate the prototype phrase.

Learn vocabulary and grammar later; focus, like children do, on hearing the language and imitating its use. Learn reading and writing last of all; formal grammar and especially spelling are the pedals on the bike.
In the US perhaps, where I live the whole cyclists vs non-cyclist thing does not exist. Everybody is a cyclist (perhaps the US is a car community ;)), but generally in normal clothes, on a normal bike (not racing, but like this [0]), with no helmet and on bike lanes where you never meet a car. The smallest bikes (12 inch wheels) are rated 2-4 years old.

I’m constantly “taking the pedals off” in debugging or even just leaving them off in development. I’m a big believer of getting core functionality tested and working before stapling on more layers. But you have to be careful. Identifying the actual core functionality is often counterintuitive… sometimes the API is the core functionality, and the data processing pipeline is the add on.
> "we are better than China, we are more free"

Anyone who disagrees with this is either not being honest or is not aware of what extent China restricts it's citizens.
It wasn't cute there, either, it was explicitly a device to stage the desperation that catalyzed the rest of the plot.
50% is absurd, but in general full-remote companies that know what they're doing are already sort of doing this—forgoing location-based pay and offer a consistent rate anywhere in the country.

That rate will be lower than what they were paying for people living in the tech hubs (maybe in some cases actually 50%), but represent a major pay bump for people in the rest of the country. It's a win-win for everyone except the people who really want to stay in tech hubs.
You should update your information.
I don't want to push too hard, because it may be against HN code, but how many workplace disputes were you a part of and was it in US? I think it is a relevant question here though.

What a ridiculous thing to say about the home of ASML.
That really seems to be mischaracterizing his work. The idea is that the quantum effects we see will eventually emerge.

I will be the first to say I enjoy working from home. I don't want to go back to the office. What I will also say, that what doubly makes me not go back to the office is the office space itself. It was expensive to put in. Some company paid a lot for it. There are marble tables in the break room, the furniture is obviously not cheap. It is all jarring. It is an assault on the visual and auditory senses. It's bright and loud and overwhelming.

If companies want to try and lure someone back to the office, they should spend some time and money and make it nice. It's not a magic bullet. It won't make people think, "wow I want to spend 30-40 minutes in the car each morning," but it's a start. It's the same thing about catering food into the office, don't buy mediocre food an expect people to hail your praises. If you really cared, you'd actually care about the quality.
I've been doing it for a few years (+200 calls) and have met a ton of wonderful people this way.

>But the micro vs. macro distinction is only one of time and scale and that's the whole point: species aren't "real," even fish aren't "real" in any ontological sense, but the countless organisms that we categorize as such existed, exist, and will continue to exist regardless of how we conceive of them.

This is an excellent rebuttal to the micro/macro distinction, because it's working in the correct direction, which you've stated well:

>to accept the incredibly narrow capacity of human cognition as a starting point for an even deeper understanding rather than an end goal to rationalize towards.

Using the notion of "species" as a "ground truth", as though it were some biological law, is a self-defeating point precisely because the definition of "species" is "a somewhat-arbitrary taxonomy developed by people to try to group organisms together based on observed common traits."
I just opened a new twitter account as an experiment. What features are you talking about? Nothing is obviously new. Also seems much more buggy than I remember.

The sudden resurgence of the years-dormant campaign to ban TikTok, and its rapid legislative success this time around, were directly because of Israel and Gaza. From the mouths of senators: "Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down (potentially) TikTok...if you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians relative to other social media sites it's overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts, so I know that's of real interest..." (https://x.com/wideofthepost/status/1787104142982283587)

Jacob Helberg, a member of a congressional research and advisory panel called the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, has been working on building a bipartisan, bicoastal alliance of China hawks, united in part by their desire to ban TikTok. Over the past year, he says, he has met with more than 100 members of Congress, and brought up TikTok with all of them.

[...]

It was slow going until Oct. 7. The attack that day in Israel by Hamas and the ensuing conflict in Gaza became a turning point in the push against TikTok, Helberg said. People who historically hadn’t taken a position on TikTok became concerned with how Israel was portrayed in the videos and what they saw as an increase in antisemitic content posted to the app.

> Why aren't those being treated with equal concern?

I mean I can't speak to other people's experience, but as an American, I'm uniquely pissed off with the Israeli one because my tax dollars are paying for it, and because the White House could stop it at a time of their choosing, as they've done before.
Which one is the US funding, and using UN vetos to continue?

We're an active participant in, its not a surprise its the one we (USA ppl) care about.
I believe the argument is just ”my job can be performed from home”. It’s not about entitlement, it is about making ones life easier without additional downside to your employer. You might disagree with the no downside part but that is orthogonal to the entitlement argument.
I keep seeing this stated as a reason for banning tt but I've yet to see any evidence. During the supreme courts oral argument last week they referred to a sealed appendix with more info, when they were passing the legislation they also referred to secret evidence that Americans can't see. I don't want to give in to conspiratorial thinking but if its as bad as they claim then we as the public have a right to see the evidence and decide for ourselves.
The trick here is that we can reject OP's unnecessarily binary categorization as a premise and focus on the illogical and under-developed personal systems for testing reality and challenging beliefs that represent a far greater concern than the particulars of categorically unexamined beliefs.

To the post indicating shouting fire is legal - I believe the parent’s intent is to indicate there are consequences to it. From the article —

>> The act of shouting "fire" when there are no reasonable grounds for believing one exists is not in itself a crime, and nor would it be rendered a crime merely by having been carried out inside a theatre, crowded or otherwise. However, if it causes a stampede and someone is killed as a result, then the act could amount to a crime, such as involuntary manslaughter, assuming the other elements of that crime are made out.
小红书 (pronounced Xiaohongshu) is the Chinese version of TikTok by Bytedance (EDIT: I’m wrong, it’s a different company, see below). It’s currently #1 on the USA App Store.

The people on there are super kind and accommodating to all the “American TikTok refugees” today! Lots of little Mandarin 101 classes, UI tutorials, and co-commiserating about government overreach.

I have a negative view of all of social media, but I think banning it is extremely politically unwise. Appreciate the hospitality of these users inviting us into their platform for a bit

Sorry, but this leads to nuclear proliferation. This means unless you have nukes, you are a nobody.

At this point it's better to just have that nuclear war instead of the rest of us being pawn of nuclear states. There is no dignity in this.
> For most folks, focusing on doing your full time job well and getting promoted/finding a better paying job is _significantly_ less effort than starting a side hustle that pays you meaningful money.

I agree that for most folks looking to maximize money, it is better to stay focused on doing their job well.

But not everyone is same. I have a friend who wanted more freedom and spend more time with his kid. He started ecommerce site as a side hustle. He quit his job when his side hustle was making enough money to cover his expenses.

After that he started more ecommerce sites in different niches. Right now, he may have 4 sites but he has tons in work, he doesn't talk about all of them until they are semi-successful. With all those sites, he still works less than 20 hours a week and makes close to what he can make as an engineer. One thing though his wife also works and they get insurance through her work.

I also wanted to do my own thing but I was focused on tech based side hustle. I thought that would be easier but now I think tech business on the side is harder especially with a family. If I do it again, it would be a low tech or old school side hustle.
I would assume 'to dab your feet' i.e. quickly tap the ground with your foot when you're falling over, to rebalance. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dab.

I've mostly heard it in the context of technical mountain biking (where it's fairly common, but usually a sign of not quite getting through a section cleanly - you didn't actually fall off, but you couldn't keep your balance with your feet on the pedals).
There's also the fact that every single fab opened outside of Taiwan reduces Taiwan's national security.

Hell, even some of the "restrictions" on free speech that are legitimately on the books in the US aren't actually enforced.

Get a ham radio license and use profanity when you transmit. Seriously. Do it. Odds are, the FCC does nothing. The thing they do when they do catch you is send you a letter saying "please don't do that".

At least as far as kids are concerned, current evidence does not readily support this common believe.

Sabine Hossenfelder writes: "The idea that social media causes children mental health distress is plausible, but unfortunately it isn’t true. Trouble is, if you read what the press has written about it, you wouldn’t know. Scientists have described it as a “moral panic” that isn’t backed by data, which has been promoted most prominently by one man: Jonathan Haidt."

> For example, if you have a debian base container that you run `apt install nginx` in, what version you actually get depends on a lot of different things including what the current version of nginx is inside of the remote repositories you're installing from _when the docker build command is executed_, not when the Dockerfile is written.

Its even worse. Its not the current version when the command is executed, its _the current version taking the layer cache into account_, which is a classic docker gotcha in needing to do single line `apt-get update && apt-get install` to sidestep. The layer cache really makes it hard to reason about.
> The "chen" suffix is difficult to pronounce for English speakers, so it's replaced by the word "keys" (as in the buttons of a keyboard)

Not quite. The -ke ending here is just another regional variant of the diminutive. The s at the end is a colloquial plural form.

So the transformation from German to this weird german-english would be:

Knöpfe - Knöpfchen - Knöppkes - Cnoeppkes
No, no, you can't do that. Than they'll come after you and claim how you're not free, you don't support free market and whatnot. Banning is tool for them, but not for you.
Location-based pay is not the same thing because location-based pay pays more to people who live in SF but don't ever go into the office than it does to people who live somewhere else and don't go into the office.

Location agnostic pay comes close to what OP is suggesting: put your pay in the median of the country as a whole and pay that consistently to everyone regardless of where they live. The company saves money by not having to match tech hub prices, and there are tens of thousands of developers across the country who would love to accept a pay scale that's weighted higher than their local market by the tech hubs.
I feel like I have to pick and choose the "good stuff" from macOS and iOS days instead of having confidence that everything inside works well. Case in point - I tried recently to migrate from Gmail/Google Calendar to iCloud Mail and Calendar and use Apple's own apps for that. No matter what I did, I could not get calendar invitations to actually appear in the inbox in Calendar for me to RSVP appropriately. All I got was an email with the RSVP buttons in it that allowed my response to show up in the organizer's calendar, but it added nothing to my own calendar. (And yes I did go into the iCloud Calendar settings and tried both the app notifications and email notifications for incoming calendar invites)

Reminders and Notes work great. Everything else, not so much.
Minneapolis, Chicago, a lot of less temperate cities have protected walking tunnels, either underground or protected by buildings.
My prediction, based off raising kids and working with teenagers? The teens are going to give a big ol' Yankee Doodle Middle Finger to Uncle Sam. They'll flock to any social media site not hosted by a US megacorp.

If you don't understand why that would be then I posit you haven't spent much time around teens.
At the same time, it somehow succeeds to feel barren even though the amount of content there is virtually endless. I get the same recommendations for months, with repeated videos grouped into different rows, half of which I either watched already or will never watch according to the historical data of being shown to me a thousand times and being ignored every time.
Social media is not connection.
DynamoDB is great if you want to fork over a lot of money to AWS on a monthly basis. It's inability to allow you to query on arbitrary attributes/fields without creating a separate index (i.e. copy of the entire collection) is mind-boggling. There are so many better, less expensive options out there for 99.99999% of use-cases. Friends don't let friends use DynamoDB.
What Europe wants is not necessarily profitability but rather resilience. You can't leave this kind of decision up to the irrationality of market forces. So—you're correct, germany (or the EU) should subsidize chips if they want to weather the future.
At-will employment is standard in 49/50 US states, and this forum is almost entirely American, so that is safe to assume by default. If you have a counterexample to share (where someone successfully sued a company to enforce terms of an at-will contract) then why don't you?
XHS is for cool GenZ, bias female, urban, has money / disposable income, think coastal elite. I guess more lifestyle/gram, pushes beauty, fashion, wellness, food, luxury goods etc. Douyin (TikTok) is for masses...

If London public transport was not so utterly awful AND expensive AND slow AND unreliable AND overcrowded AND filthy then maybe, but as it is I pay crazy high prices to get a really unpleasant and inefficient experience. Anyone who has the ability to drive to the office, I envy you. What bliss.

> the concern isn't just data collection but manipulation of the american public (psyops).

I don't buy it. If that were actually the concern, we would be talking about banning Facebook and X for manipulating Americans to vote against their own interests and hand over more power & money to the platforms' owners. Facebook has done way, way, way, way more harm to America and Americans than Tiktok ever did. The Tiktok ban is an illegitimate handout to America's oligarchs to protect them from having to compete. It's nothing to do with protecting Americans from manipulation.
Exactly. Subject specific forums and blogs are just ghost towns these days.
I do think there is something to be said about the aspirational nature of life in some of these older memes. But, I'd wager we have some pretty high aspiration ads nowadays, too?

This is similar to the idea that the hit songs of a previous generation somehow are indicative of all songs for that generation.

Curious how this compares to all of the period dramas for the victorian age stuff. Do people really think life was that good during these times? Really?
Almost no one cares to understand the domain of the tool anymore, they only want result and expect a simplified interface that already does the unique thing they want to do, but can’t accept that a power tool can only be used with training.
British "middle class" is a higher class than US "middle class", and servants were relatively cheaper back then.
obviously bad policy for many reasons, but as a geriatric millennial I'm selfishly happy. As long as the ban continues, I will never have to sit on the bus and listen to those horrible robot voices blasting nonsense out of someone's phone speakers.
