Re:A proposal to improve Twitter and perhaps the world

Twitch provides a good solution to this in someways.
It's highly interactive, especially with IRL channels, and the options for interaction are following, subscribing (which is following but with a $$ donation per month + perks), and chat.
Many streamers have links in their chats automatically blocked, and there's a good variety between small streamers with sane chats and streamers with hundreds of thousands of viewers who's chat is much more similar to Twitter's reactionary dynamic.

Discord, is great, works well with groups up to 40,000 and can work as a simple IM messenger, though you still have everything from the group message features as in Slack.

a site that fosters real, thoughtful discussion requires moderation - if you compare the amount of clickbait on Facebook vs the general helpfulness of articles on Hackernews, one is moderated, one is designed for maximum interaction.

i only know from learning about it, but round manhole covers prevent them from falling through the hole by consisting of a curve of constant width. Another example is the Reuleaux Triangle which is a viable shape for manhole covers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuleaux_triangle

Re:Government launches login.gov to simplify access to public services
on Friday September 08, 2017 @09:37PM (#15205144)
The true point of imagining the login.gov will become the defacto standard for Oauth is the same reason why Tinder was Facebook login only. It's more secure and easier for people to use when they only have one login. The consolidation of most internet logins to login.gov gives the US government more power that it shouldn't have. All you need to do is look at Google. It's not necessarily an everyday appearance, but Twitter is full of accounts of Google revoking access to accounts with no warning, and no effective or efficient way to appeal.

Wouldn't it be entertaining if the SSN leak was just a really clever PR boost for the Trump administration?
I'm certainly entertaining conspiracy theory level ludicrousy, but it is entertaining.

I would call them alive. They might not be happy everyday. There is always time to be sad, and to be angry, and to just stare into the void and realize how screwed up life is sometimes, but I would say that if you have a higher calling, it's much easier to be happy in a less hedonistic way.
Actually: yeah, I just basically described contentedness. Though there is definitely a difference between contentedness and complacency.
