One of my .xyz domain was taken down because one it somehow ended up on a single spam list as Phishing (it was not hosting any phishing, and all the code is actually open source).

I never was able to get it cleared. It's crazy the power that those spam list can have and they care very little about false positives

I just scrolled 5mn on the landing page of bluesky, unlogged, and it looks like r/politics (mostly anti-Trump, anti-Musk posts).

Hardly appealing for someone like me who goes on twitter less because there's too much politics

You have to curate your discover feed, like joining any new platform with a recommendation engine. The nice thing is there are many custom feeds for various topics beyond the singular main feeds (discover, following, friends) and you can write your own and use it from their app.

What does it take for a plant to be shutdown pending corrective action?

The violations cited seem like they should be enough to warrant that. Because of their inaction, 9 peoples died. It's a failure of the regulatory agency

I work for a medium (~$10B) public company and when I check the CEOs calendar he's booked 12 hours a day, and it's a lot of hard staff meeting with complex outcome. Not sure where this idea that CEOs don't work come from

Not to diminish the work of OP (the website looks really clean), but I don't think I know any serious experienced engineer who couldn't create an image sharing website

I know way too many with the title "senior" in their technical role title who have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Well, they think they know, but they are less technically competent that your average CS graduate.

GPU companies providing inference on open source models (like deepinfra or togetherAI) are doing so at an extremely competitive cost, making me think that the API pricing of the big players right now is profitable.

(for example, deepinfra has wizardLM-2-8x22B at $0.65/1M output tokens, compared to $6/1M output tokens for 8x22B by Mistral - and of course Mistral has some more expensive, closed source models that perform better)

I live in a suburb of Dallas and most kids walk/bike to school alone past the 3rd grade

I don't know. I feel like a cow without humans is most likely to end up being slowly tear apart by a predator

I've used the standard Park for 15 years without ever having any issue

Let's not make up things because you disagree with the politics.

There's nothing in the law about the state gathering data.

Texas is not the first state with such law. Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia have all passed laws mandating age verification for accessing adult content. I expect this will become even more widespread.

There's probably a market opportunity for the entrepreneurs of hacker news: creating an age verification service compliant with the law of those state, with a strong no-log privacy policy and an API that websites with age verification mandate can use
