- smcinProbably because a few articles contain curse words (which corporate filters may hiccup on).
- > Carvana will be included in the S&P 500 starting on December 22nd, 2025. And that should not sit well with anyone... Carvana meets these criteria [for S&P inclusion], but seems to be doing so using inflated numbers.
- It's an interesting sidebar discussion what are cultural norms on social interaction vs using someone like a free therapist. I guess consent to whatever topic, equal airtime, not saying inappropriate things, not slowing down their work.
- You live in the suburbs, or a small turn, or a city?
How do people in your area generally get groceries?
- What's their main point, as in reason? I can't get through the subscriber wall and I can't find out from other articles.
- Subscriber-walled
- It makes a difference since if you're not logged in to them in browser they are less likely to know which ones you use.
- It's in general possible to only access social media via browser, not apps.
- If Arthur C Clarke was still alive, he would be much in demand as sci-fi frontperson for these.
- "LLMs" is the new catchall term for Machine Learning or automation, to laypeople. For now.
- Leetspeak (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet), and similar things obfuscating letters with numbers/ punctuation/ symbols (or subsequently, obfuscated with Unicode or lookalikes).
Now experiencing a renaissance on YouTube et al. to legitimately refer to terms like murder, suicide etc. which will typically get a channel or user demonetized/banned/blocked by internal search engines/etc.
- > Sounds like their biggest problem is that the product is so good the domestic market may be saturated.
Sad how rare that is these days. Which other companies does that apply to?
- The standard etiquette on HN is not to bother saying that, just post its archive link already.
- I don't believe the "2–10% CPU savings" claim for general computing, or servers. Only maybe for IoT devices. And you don't cite any source for that claim. What is your source?
- Okay but who are you referring to by "pro biz democrats in NY are losing traction"; the NYC mayor election, Hochul retaining governor, Stefanik's ambitions for 2028/32, or else who? It seems the wrong take to read Mamdani's broad-based support as ideological; it was the combination of an affordability crisis plus an awful opponent who should have been replaced (plus a spoiler third candidate). Kind of like a localized 2025 update of "it's the [city] economy, stupid".
- "thought-terminating cliché"/"knockout argument"/fallacy
Anyway "as if values and decisions are always shared absolutely by everyone" is moot because you can GDPR opt out, or else read it via the archive sites.
- Ah ok, I hadn't noticed there was also recent discussion on the Senate itself, wrt not being numerically representative.
People often say stuff like "the founders would have changed their mind if they knew just how concentrated the population would end up [wrt representation]", but they don't propose anything specific or constructive (short of federal-state litigation, secession or another civil war). How about a (neutral) commission to reapportion State boundaries every 10 years based on Census results (with some population formula between not-quite-linear and wildly disproportionate)? Or else, to periodically reapportion state counts of Senators to total 100. (Obviously these couldn't get ratified these days, but they just might have in the 1790s). If not, what's your specific suggestion?
Another thing people aren't currently discussing much is how badly break down if/when the Supreme Court gets captured by a dominant group that is both ideological and not independent. Look at how high the stakes will be for nominating the eventual replacement to Justice Clarence Thomas/Sotomayor/etc.
And of course the terrible Citizens Utd ruling muddies every consideration of representation.
And then there's also the parallel discussion of the Senate filbuster rule, remember though that if there was no filibuster, Citizens Utd would allow unlimited dark money to influence every vote, specifically all the action would focus on the Senators in the middle, think Joe Lieberman, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Manchin, Sinema. Seems near-impossible to reconstruct democracy under these constraints. (Look at the recent Senate stealth attack in the shutdown bill by lobbyists for newly-legalized CBD to try to ban Hemp).
- I think you're referring to "abolish the Senate filibuster rule"? recent lobbying.
- Post is unironically suggesting another fitness test for students, not Presidents.
- Well, Mastermind has 6 colors and 4 positions; Wordle has 26 letters and 5 positions. So at first it seems a larger solution space.
In Mastermind all feasible candidates are equiprobable (assuming the cluegiver isn't biased), but in Wordle we can use external statistical information (how likely is 'Y' to be letter #2? any letter?). Since Wordle uses a dictionary of 2331 possible words + 10657 additional words that can be used as guesses (so 12966 words in total). Out of a theoretical total of 4K five-letter English words, or 26P5 = 65780 five-letter permutations of letters (most gibberish). As such, you can often still gain information from trying a candidate word which you know cannot be the solution word (e.g. one letter known to be wrong position or missing).
