When ongoing worthwhile conversation appears on a small board, the S/N ratio goes very high fast. Word spreads, and people are attracted to a high-interest low-noise signal. As more people join in, everyone can be heard ... but not everyone should be heard. The growing noise starts drowning out the signal, which gets frustrated and heads for less noisy grounds. The sheer mass & momentum of the noise sources keeps the place going for a while, but more "signals" leave over time, leaving a shrinking population. Various mechanisms are put in place to suppress noise, with varying degrees of success (HN's is pretty good).

"Freshness" is also a factor. After a while, each forum just starts showing its age, not keeping up with spiffy new forms & forums. People get bored and move on.

"Us vs them" is also a factor. A growing subgroup may decide they just don't want to be around the base. Prime example: Facebook and the alleged "kids don't use it because their parents are there".

Embrace the lifecycle. It's real; instead of fighting it, manage it with the understanding that it will eventually fade and users head to newer quieter forums.

Email: zedpm[at]c10n[dot]net

I'm a generalist software engineer with Linux systems administration experience. I've usually worked in small organizations, so I'm used to wearing a lot of hats and working outside my comfort zone. I joined a startup as employee #1 and helped lead the company to a successful exit in 2014; this was done 100% remotely over the course of 9 years.
I'm looking for another remote position where I can again help grow a company towards a successful exit.

Lendable - https://www.lendable.co.uk/ - London, UK

We're taking the opportunity to build a 21st century financial institution, from scratch. After retail (Amazon) and media (Google), finance is the last great intermediating industry, and the one best suited to being conquered by a tech company.

Our first product: the world's fastest P2P lending platform, powered by real-time automated credit decisions and risk pricing.

---------

We're looking for a developer to own/rebuild the front end of our platform (Choose your own stack!). Beyond that, there are smart uses of behaviour tracking we can extend, plus want to continually improve our user journey.

It's really hard to point the finger at just one source, such as the execution of the drug war itself.

Maybe the citizens of the USA just aren't serious enough about eliminating drug use, which leads to the election of leaders who aren't serious, which leads to poor execution of the drug war.
wow, that's pretty cool!
"Doesn't work" ?!?! For whom?? It works swimmingly well for the people in power, and the people who love to have control over their citizens!
I agree.

Strangely, all of these issues were conveniently left out of the article.

Not sure everybody knows this, but its not economically feasible to recycle these batteries:

"Recycled lithium is as much as five times the cost of lithium produced from the least costly brine based process. It is not competitive for recycling companies to extract lithium from slag, or competitive for the OEMs to buy at higher price points from recycling companies. "

Add in the fact there are currently very few dedicated LI recycling companies in the world, let alone in the US:

"With lithium recycling in its infancy, there is currently no main recycling infrastructure in the world that treats only automotive Li-ion batteries. A few pilot plants, such as Umicore's Hoboken plant in Belgium that are at a demonstration stage exist. Lack of standardisation in battery chemistries and changing landscape with respect to different elements under research for battery production other than lithium have made evaluation of the recycled value of the components uncertain for the recyclers."

Call me skeptical, but I'm not sure Tesla has really given consideration to these issues. Their approach to these obvious issues are not addressed at all in their press release.

Developer | $125-175k | San Francisco | gerad@sagansystems.com

In canada there is a government run dairy cartel. It is very similar to the taxi medallions, farmers must purchase the right to produce dairy products. "Quota" for a dairy cow is worth 200k. 2 liters of milk is about $5 at the grocery store.

There is also a maple syrup cartel in Quebec which has been in the news recently.

As I recall, Musk says that if you can double current energy densities, electric airliners become feasible. That could happen in some decades.

If that doesn't happen (or if he's underestimating what it takes), then I figure the solution for air travel will be synthetic fuels. Synthetic fuels are not very good right now simply because it takes a lot of energy to make them, but if energy is cheap and abundant because, say, the world is covered in solar panels, it's less of a problem.
So many downvotes already? That was very quick.
TLS 1.0 was also vulnerable to BEAST. I'm assuming that pointing to TLS 1.0 as the "minimum" is temporary. Over time, we will decide that the cutoff should be TLS 1.1 and we'll deprecate TLS 1.0. At that point, everything you're saying about SSL will be true of TLS 1.0. It's really just a difference in version number.
Can't wait to see what gets hacked!

well, L1 RTK takes some time to get a fix, but for that price it's a very good offer.
Sure, yes, if his activity would have involved taking over responsibility for people he could easily take with him if he decided to end his life, then it'd have been perfectly understandable why they would want to prevent that.

But we're talking about a college student. Sure, maybe he shouldn't be allowed in the chemistry lab or given roof access, but what does banning him from college grounds prevent that he can't do outside of it?

Besides, if he was so dangerous to warrant banning him from college grounds just so he couldn't get a chance to harm or kill others (e.g. strap bombs to himself and blow people up), he was probably too dangerous to rely on him to respect the ban. This is the point where you involve the police instead of risking to provoke him further -- and then this isn't just a mental issue, it's a direct threat. But as it seems, this wasn't what happened, even remotely.

The company simplifies the process of selecting a home improvement contractor and improving the outcomes of remodeling and construction projects.
By gathering and analyzing information on 3.5 million licensed contractors and 50 million improvement projects, the company has brought new levels of transparency and accountability to a notoriously difficult industry.

Here are some examples of problems you’ll help us solve:

* Build a clean and simple user interface that sifts through millions of transactional records, allows consumers to see the current remodeling activity in their neighborhood and engage with the contractors performing the work.

* Implement payment processing by integrating with third party providers and implementing a scheduling and tracking system to maintain transaction records.

* Enhance the accuracy of our machine learning classifier, which infers what types of work contractors specialize in based off their transactional histories.

* Apply our pricing analysis to help consumers understand the cost and value associated with their home improvement investments.

Even the ubuntu phone comes with software you 'can't install' (unless you go beyond the normal interface) and has software of dubious origin on it ('here'). Missed chance on many fronts.

The problem isn't so much 'mobile phones' the problem is smart mobile phones and the suppliers of software for them, and for all mobile phones the big black box that is the baseband processor and whatever goes on in there. Little snitches does not cover it.

Then perhaps that worry should be stated more often, and we could argue about that worry, rather than have bland, baseless assertions that any use of any currently illegal substance will necessarily lose you your job, family etc.

Fact 1 - lots of people, maybe even most people in the western world, use alcohol to varying degrees and have jobs and families that are not falling apart due to their drug use.

Fact 2 - many currently illegal drugs are less severe in their acute effects than alcohol, are less severe in their chronic effects than alcohol and are less addictive than alcohol.

Combined, these torpedo the point stated in the article, but not your point. The only way to address your concerns there is with studies of what happens in places like Amsterdam and Colorado.

Personally I would argue that even if legalising drugs makes some things worse (more users, more addicts), applying the cost of the drug war to mitigating the harms instead of amplifying them is a win regardless.

This is not directly relevant to the article, but I see people look at public/private school v. homeschool as if it's a zero-sum game. Many families are unable to have a parent stay home the entire day(whether due to money or due to the parent liking their career-who wants an unhappy, bored teacher all day?), but ideally "schooling" should be going on in the home as well as in school. In public school I learned little of value past socialization (I did have interaction with peers, something my family would not have been able to give me on a regular basis if I was homeschooled) but I learned a lot on my own time and was encouraged by my parents to do this. Most children who are too ahead of the public school curve to benefit from it are smart enough to teach themselves (with some help from parents in the evenings if needed.)
