I think the climate of the internet is ready for it. Everyone is sick of Slashdot's turn for the worse. Redditors are crying about reddit going down. Everyone is complaining about the twitter sinking ship. Facebook is... facebook.
We haven't seen a new, good, decentralized site in years. Personally I think all of the software is already written, it just needs a bit of tweaking.
- Usenet for discussion. - IRC for chat. - nginx front end.
The only thing that needs to be written is a decent moderation on top of it all.
Given the statistics so far. I highly doubt that's going to be the case. If they have deductibles broken down by gender, marriage status and age they're definitely going to split them along human / non-human lines.
Sorry, I hate grocery shopping. Hate it with a passion. I am going to pay good money to the first 'milk man' that starts up in my town. I don't care if it's a local company, Amazon or Walmart. I should be able to have my milk and bread show up in an autonomous vehicle and drop off my grocery shopping.
Like all automation they're just going to replace the current lowest paid part of the profession. Just like automation has always. Advances in wood shop and kitchen 'automation' meant you didn't have second cooks just to do the beating of eggs. Large scale mechanization in food processing meant that a large portion of us could do stuff other than grow food.
This will just replace the cheapest lawyers. It's work that a computer can do better and faster than a human. Watson could easily go through all legal documents ever looking for something.
You have to ask *who* those users are. They're second wave. 40 year olds, Indians are a big one. But teenaged Americans? They're moving elsewhere now that their parents have discovered Facebook. Kik, Snapchat, IRC, etc.
Facebook is going to get taken over by 40+ year olds that just discovered the web. It's been on the slow decline for a while. They had their own Eternal September when they opened the flood gates to any e-mail address.
My generation (Mid 30s, first 'class' on facebook at my school) moved to fake names ages ago. I find it hilarious that Redditors are now discovering IRC like it's something new.
After 6 years with a SheevaPlug I decided to upgrade to a newer batch of 'hackable' ARM boards. Across the board they're terrible with driver and OEM support.
Half are knockoffs of knockoffs made by some Chinese manufacturer. They run a special version uBoot version that is in violation of the GPL. They run "Linux" but what they don't tell you is it isn't a mainline version. It is half full of binary blobs and unsupported past when it was released, despite the board still being sold.
I'm going to try out the Intel Edison next because I've always had good luck with Intel boards, they put development time into making working drivers. (Compare their GigE controllers vs Realtek).
This should be "64 hacker friendly SBCs if your time is free and you enjoy being frustrated by stupid nuances"
It's most likely made in Simulink and compiled to C and then for the target platform. Simulink is used everywhere in automated controls from the automotive up through aircraft.
That's exactly what this code does, I work with A2L files all the time, it's how we calibrate our engines. It's how everyone calibrates their engines.
The thing is it needs to be a new platform, not a new site.
Voat is going to fail because it's just Reddit rehashed.
Pipedot is going to fail because it's just Slashdot rehashed.
Make a damn new website. Use IRC as the chat backend (It's field tested to death and works), use Usenet as the message storage backend (It's field tested to death and it works), figure out a 'moderation' system on top of that and let anyone make their own site.
Can't some of us get together and make a replacement? Surely we have enough technical people here to put together existing technology in a way that works for what we want.
I moved to Reddit from Fark and Slashdot in 2012. It was ok, but is missing a lot of what Slashdot was. (Particularly decent moderation). Voat is more or less just Reddit reskinned.
Can't someone put a BuzzWord version of Usenet and IRC with a moderation system of somesort? I'll make an attempt: "We should leverage docker technology to create a cloud based distributed discussion system and live chat."
Slashdot Moderation was designed well enough that it's surviving Slashdot selling out. Watching Redditors and Twitter users trying to 'game' Brianna Wu's "AMA"^H^H^H Ask Slashdot:" was entertaining to say the least. "What do you mean I can't just create another account and downvote stuff I don't like!!?!?!". Can't someone figure out how to use a 'cryptocurrency' to moderate usenet? Hell I'd pay $0.01 to read a +5 Insightful or +5 Informative Slashdot post these days. Nothing has quite captured Slashdot 2001-2004 +5 posts. If Redditors see something longer than a paragraph it's "TLDR".
I tried to 'live chat' on Facebook with a few friends and different groups. 2 tabs and 5 conversations is enough to pull a new PC to its knees. Now Redditors have just rediscovered IRC like it's something new and novel.
It's to take over simple questions not to provide conversation. Given how scripted half of tech support is in India they could easily be Chatbots and most people wouldn't know any different.
I've followed this GG thing since about Jan. Most of the followers on both sides are 14-22. They're quick to throw out something 'deep' they heard. XKCD made a comic that they all take as truth. What he meant to say was the "First Amendment" not "Free Speech".
It's just the children fighting. I'll take twitter's announcement like I would have taken a Usenet admin's word on "We've fixed the trolling". Everyone on both sides seems to either be a 14-22 year or the ~30 year olds that they're following. The only thing the 30 year olds seem to be good at is being professionally unemployed. "FreeBSD Girl" hasn't made a commit in 5 years, but still leverages her "I'M A PRECIOUS DEVELOPER".
I think what a lot of them are finding out is everyone has a ceiling in life. I made it until 30 until I hit mine. I've accepted that I will never be CEO or VP of my company because of the career paths I chose in my 20s. I have female friends from college hitting it just past 30 and they're blaming it on everything but the fact that they can't go any higher.
Personally I think half of the problem is that a lot of kids weren't raised with reality in mind. They got into what ever college and major and life they wanted and they're expecting jobs without being able to actually perform. Brianna Wu's game Revolution 60 looks like something a 13 year old would have designed in the late 90s. There are a lot of actual women in STEM that have real accomplishments to their name by their ages. Stuff like patents.
Slashdot Mirror
I think we need a technical solution in FOSS.

Damn it, undoing a mod so that I can comment I'm with them.
I've been here since ~2001. I rode out 9/11 on Slashdot, read about Bittorrent and the iPod being released. (Where's that Nomad now?)
I'd read and comment on any number of those articles he proposed. Especially over stuff that they've been posting.
The comments on Slashdot are still better on some topics than Reddit or anywhere else.
In Seattle they outlaw human driven cars from downtown.
Wait until the insurance companies force you to pay double premiums because you insist on still driving the car yourself.
Just use archive.is links:

If you can use red stone you can use Simulink. Watching people build some of those contraptions reminded me of my day job.
Good.

Cubieboard 4 (CC-A80). There's some stuff at Sunxi Linux page. A10-OlunuXino-LIME as well.
My SheevaPlug is still easier to use than both of them.

So it's the Star Wars version of JJ's Star Trek movies?
I read Slashdot 4x a day
.
Which is why you're posting as AC.
Fuck Ian in his dead racist ass.
Did you even read his posts in context? They make perfect sense, should he have put quotes around "Nigger", would you have understood it then?
Looks like SJWers on 4Chan were egging him on last night:

Batten down the hatches boys. SJWers are coming with AC accounts.
They didn't figure out after Wu's article that's now how moderation works around here.

Simulink writes it for me. Are they also able to back out Simulink model styles as well?

Periods of inactivity on open source projects does not disqualify someone from being a developer.
By all means, show me some thing she's developed that is worth anything.

Changing reference frames is something they usually don't get into until college level mechanics.
