What is the alternative? Do you think that the government should nationalize private companies? Or perhaps they should dictate to them who should be their clients? If a company like Google doesn't want to do business with Parler, that is their right. That is free market. If the market didn't agree with it, the free market forces would make sure that Google dwindles and another company replaces them.
You seem to be spending 3 paragraphs re-arguing that tether is shady, when I already said that wasn't the point I was arguing. A argument in favor of tether shouldn't be taken as a sign that I support them wholeheartedly.

Er well I think those are all bad examples -- they all seem pretty dystopian to me, a non-straight atheist with some criticisms of capitalism.

But I think it's a slippery slope to go from seeing that dystopia where some opinions are off-limits to imagining that having any opinions at all be off-limits in polite company makes a dystopia. There's long been norms against stuff like libel, holocaust denial, disregard for human life, etc. Those as norms hardly seem dystopian.

Seems like it should be paired with a "Is the following code useful?" about code which specifically handles every error code listed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes and contains code to handle unlisted ones.

Then "where do you draw the line?". Sometimes if(200){}else{} is plenty.
So a guy somewhere on the autistic spectrum doesn't understand people...
I can't understand your logic.

1. Securing the house from fire costs $5,000/year to reduce the probability of the house catching fire (it's still possible that it catches fire).

2. Buying an insurance which costs $500/year and will replace your home in the event that it catches fire.

2 is cheaper, and a better deal if your house catches fire. With 2 you are even more secure.

> Actually comedians are of great help for ethical social concerns; for instance take a look at George Carlin.

George Carlin is a pretty impressive example of a comedian affecting meaningful change, or at least forcing a legal confrontation, though probably not in the way he wanted [1].

But what is the use of understanding monoids, other than as a step towards understanding monads?

No criticism... I read all of these submissions. But the ones which only cover monoids [0] leave me wondering, Okay, now what?

So I guess the confusion is mine.

[0] Other than to say that monads are "very different things".
One could argue that is the precicely the problem.

If there is no specific credible enemy to fight, there are no strict reguirements that MUST be met, so one makes the plane do everething, because you dont really know what you need.
Well yes, because now you either subscribe to Netflix or you don't stream video because caps will cut you off.

It's funny how some cable operators also offered the benefits of their video service not effecting your data usage, while other video services do. That is anti-competitive and designed to make you buy their services rather than other people's.

It has nothing to do with infrastructure as customers are allowed to stream unlimited data, and even if they go to a competitor, people generally watch at the same time. So your bandwidth is going to get hammered at the same time anyway.
Agreed. But that same observation applies just as much to woke prejudices as to anything else.
Well, but the original ST's SCSI interface was special. They even called it ASCI. Which shouldn't surprise as SCSI was standardized only after the ST (and Mac) launched.
They did? Afaik, it's there.
<use> and <symbol> have been an integral part of SVG for yonks. I remember it working robustly even in Adobe SVG Viewer days (my Dad made extensive use of them in some software), and although some small details have changed concerning how interaction-based styles apply (:hover and the likes) it’s always been dependable.
This is such a great article. It's one of the examples that comes to mind when people ask me about great engineering blog posts. The TL;DR is the Go GC was causing some fairly large latency spikes under load. Since Rust doesn't do GC, because of its ownership model, these latency spikes didn't exist in their Rust implementation of the service.

Also, pflock you have a small typo there. You probably meant to say from Go to Rust, not Go to Go :)
Makes you wonder, is there a time for an unmanned jet?
> Isn't this a bit like saying "I'm for medical marijuana being legalized, but meanwhile I support any and all enforcement of marijuana prohibition and I don't want anyone to receive medical marijuana"? I would describe such a person as being opposed to medical marijuana.

No, it's really not like saying that at all. Acquiring marijuana is something fundamentally different from immigrating to a country. Assuming your argument is actually in good faith, I'll explain how someone can be anti-illegal immigration but not against immigration per se.

A lot of people work very hard to immigrate to the United States using the legal channels. They pursue rigorous education, become proficient in English, and develop in-demand skills in order to find a US-employer. It doesn't really seem fair to these people if illegal immigration is allowed to run rampant.

If we have to use a medical marijuana example, then let's say medical marijuana is legal but somewhat limited in supply. For that reason, medical marijuana users must have a valid medical condition to acquire a medical marijuana card. However a large number of people without medical conditions make fake medical marijuana cards and buy from dispensaries for recreational use, thereby reducing how much medical marijuana is left over for legitimate medical marijuana users. It's not a great analogy, no, (since the type of jobs, residences, etc. occupied by legal vs illegal immigrants often differs) but again that's because immigration and marijuana are two very different things.
But now people will also have more reason to disbelieve things that are true.

Imagine if Trump could claim that the "Grab em by the $#@%" tape was a fake, or if Biden could do the same about the tape of him bragging about getting the Ukrainian prosecutor fired.

I very much like that people are starting to care about data-driven decisions... However I find it quite aggravating that these tools don't use the best available methods. Optimizely is celebrating that they built a strange, proprietary solution to a very well studied problem.

The situation to me feels a lot like acupuncture, homeopathic medicine, etc. I agree that these doctors and patients have their hearts are in the right place... I just wish they'd channel that energy in a more positive direction. It's frustrating.
It goes 11:59pm then 12:00am 12:01am ... 12:59am ... 1:00am ... 11:59am 12:00pm so there are 13 hours from 11pm to 12 pm.

Wouldn't it make sense to communicate minimal intelligence and willingness to communicate in the most robust possible way, such as:

- simultaneously transmit on a lot of frequencies from LF through light

- modulate a minimal "intelligent" message in a wide variety of ways (frequency, amplitude, pulse, phase, polarization, etc.) and also unmodulated (simple carrier).

- assume widely different time scales, so the message should be sent so that it takes 1 second, one minute, one hour, and one day

- alternate sending/receiving on the same lock-step

The goal is to get another intelligent life form to realize we are intelligent and trying to communicate, but there appear to be tons of assumptions baked into the approach used in the article.

> Have you ever had your credit card stolen?

I have. It was pretty inconvenient, but after a call to the bank, the stolen card was cancelled and the unauthorized transactions were reversed. If your bitcoins are stolen, the money is gone forever without any possibility of recovering the funds.

> Have you ever had it frozen and not been able to spend your own money?

No, that's never happened to me. I have once had a very large transaction automatically declined in the past, which was also inconvenient at the time, but the bank called me about it within 60 seconds of the transaction and I was able to resolve the issue right there. Reflecting on it later, I decided I liked the fact that my bank sought additional verification before authorizing a very large and unusual transaction.

> Credit card fraud is incredibly rampant and the security measures in place by banks and sites is so over the top it becomes difficult to even use them.

This is not an issue for me or anyone I know. I've never had a bank card payment rejected because of ghostery or an IP address or my VPN. Besides, even if I did, there is no reason why a business could not use identical signals for rejecting a bitcoin payment, especially since the consequences of bitcoin fraud or much more severe for the consumer.

For the vast majority of consumers, bitcoin as currency, offers almost nothing in the way of advantages over bank cards; that's just the reality. This isn't to say that bitcoin is useless or that banks always have their customer's best interest at heart, but there's really no denying the fact that banks are safer and more convenient than bitcoin for most people.

When I was slipping into the beginning of my own bipolar-type schizoaffective disorder, i was quite bitingly sarcastic. I don't think I appeared sad to other people, or depressed, but other people sometimes found my sarcasm quite annoying.

"Melancholia" is a section from my essay "Living with Schizoaffective Disorder": http://www.warplife.com/mdc/books/schizoaffective-disorder/m...
I was thinking something quite similar few hours ago. It seems people like to praise a leader (my shallow tribal interpretation) and not focus on the subtle intricacies of what really happened in details; unless they develop a taste for precision and systems.
Its marketing, artistic rendition, mockup of what its supposed to look like in 3 years. Just like Project Natal had no lag and super hi resolution.

Or do you believe they somehow manage to project fullHD per eye with perfect tracking?
I feel like that's probably a flaw in your packaging legislation rather then with this product. Pretty sure in Australia you're not allowed to package hazardous liquids in the same bottles as food, and if you are shame on us as well.

Sure, it might be a problem in the future for people wearing brand obfuscatory equipment, but it's an inexcusable flaw in your packing laws right now that's endangering anyone with Macular degeneration.
Our issue with Stallman is us expecting something of him that he's not the appropriate person to give.

Stallman is a seed planter, he's come up with a powerful pure idea, planted the seed, and now years later most people agree that many of these ideas have merit -- the world is a better place with free software.

Now that we've all caught on (or so we think) to this idea, we want Stallman to pragmatically carry it forward, to grow the movement. But to do so, you have to acknowledge certain, impure realities about Free software in the real world. Stallman, as essentially a theoretician, is not the right person to acknowledge those things. The real world gets messy, growing a movement involves marshaling conflicting people, it involves Politics.

Stallman doesn't get Politics, he's not a pragmatist, it's not in his blood and he's just not the right person to take his idea past seed planting into orchard growing. It takes a completely different kind of person. Expecting to be anything more than what he is will only ever leave one disappointed.
Don't get me wrong, that's neat, but do people often find themselves needing to shuffle cards without having a surface?
Is it fair to call the Rocinante a time machine? If it can achieve 5% of C in 37 hours it can go seriously relativistic in a reasonable amount of time. It becomes possible to travel across hundreds or thousands of Earth years in a lifetime, like Andrew and Valentine Wiggin or Colonel George Taylor.

The travelling through space feature is pretty cool too though.

I've got no idea why I keep coming to HN looking for hacker news.
Decapping and dynamically instrumenting a chip with little pins like you'd need to do is a lot harder than a timing/glitch attack.

You can specify version numbers in renv, you take snapshots of your dependencies into a lock file and can always restore from there or make a new snapshot.
Currently, for the side of me as a non-technology user, one service that is the most valuable is the free unlimited high quality Google Photos.

I don’t know who made the decision in Google to sunset that and start to charge for quota.

That stupid decision is going to destroy a very popular and useful social network service.

Then you will have a “G+” hindsight again.

Somebody might have already submitted a ycombinator proposal to take over that market when Google Photos is dead.
Good point. Here it is premature optimization anyway and too dependent on the input. In general, I think a balance between likelihood and cost should be found.

Out of curiosity, I just did a small benchmark (criterion) using the input.txt provided, and reordering results in a 10% difference:

Old Order time:[307.28 us 309.12 us 311.17 us]
Reversed time:[270.82 us 271.18 us 271.54 us]

This feels weird since the input.txt contains few pairs of equal characters, so there is likely something else going on. The inequality is very inexpensive but the ignore case compare should not be that expensive either.
Can I ask for your thoughts on the cycle in a linked list question?

I asked someone that today, and it didn't go very well. I gave him the hint to start with writing code to print out all of the children of a node, then when that stack overflowed, he was able to make progress.

Do you think there are senior generalists engineers who would be great who could struggle with that question? Its hard for me to put myself in those shoes but I believe it could be possible.

The goal of that question from my perspective is to watch them solve a problem that requires recursion. I've always found that people who do well on that stuff tend to get stuck less designing software in general.

I do worry that it cuts out people who would actually be good.

I'm very interested to hear thoughts on this from others.

It is kind of funny that exchanges have become so successful for Bitcoin- since they lose 100% of the stuff that made BTC attractive in the first place. They’re centralised, regulated and transactions don’t even go on the blockchain.

The result is that the number 1 way people get into Bitcoin is through a mechanism that has none of the attributes of Bitcoin.
Great, now do that in a check box like JavaScript settings on browsers, without extensions.
I'd love to get some professional gigs with Cinder (or any other creative coding framework) - any advice where an how one finds such clients?
I remember some people predicting that every big brand would have its own TLD instead of .com

So you'd go to `iphone.apple`, `zero.cocacola` or `order.macdonald` etc..

I guess that didn't workout yet.
Glad I can comment.. But today I tried to make an Ask HN postbecause I wanted to talk to tbis community ... and I guess I have too little 'karma' or idk.. Can't post on most sub/R. Without using my main long standing account..Twitter deletes any account I make just to follow people, FB.. Well just no. Disenfranchisement is real on HN.

Filing a police report is probably the next legally expected step.

Sadly, there's one more step the restaurant _should_ be taking here. The part in the thread where the place of business is scanning something off the IDs made me think of it. The reason they want the scan is as a way of taking a photo of proof of identity and residence to send the police after on a fraud report. Particularly if it's for multiple hundred dollars. That's still small claims court, but with that much evidence it's pretty cut and dry.

For a start, they could try to fix vulnerabilities in Jelly Bean's webview[1] and urge manufacturers and carriers to push updates to their phones, since 46% of the market is apparently still Jelly Bean[2]

Of course, it's an uphill battle with the manufacturers/carriers. But as long as Google is not applying fixes to Jelly Bean, the manufacturers can always blame Google.

True, but I meant on the technology side of things. Chromium based browsers like Brave have had issues in the past where they pulled in upstream code that, say, connected to Google servers. Firefox is the only browser I know of the doesn't have that problem.
Huh, so Clubhouse is explicitly breaking Apple's rules.

Surely Apple knows this, but is allowing it because... it's mega-popular?

What's the point of having rules if clawing your way to popularity by leveraging their violation is deemed permissible?
This is an interesting way of looking at it. Undoubtedly there must be nation state actors using such attack vectors
I'd abolish the standard deduction. Rather, move it into the tax brackets. At an absolute minimum the 0% bracket should extend to the poverty line, I think 150% of the poverty line would be a better fence. The standard deduction basically says you don't get to deduct many things you should be able to deduct. All the games we play with deductions are a shell game by Congress to stealthily raise taxes on the poor/middle class.
Arathorn seems to always be on HN but chose to leave this question unanswered. I wonder why?

I'll hazard a guess: New Vector LLC sees it is in their financial interest that they own the only functional implementations of the Matrix protocol and what it can interact with, so there's no interest in federation with the wider Fediverse and other protocols.

Now Arathorn, come tell me why I'm wrong
How does this help me? Malicious apps are still going to scoop up my real contacts, right? What if one of the random phone numbers belongs to someone deemed a "terrorist" by one the imperial powers and I'm judged guilty by association?
I am not sure why people are viewing gambling in a negative light here. Investing is absolutely gambling but that does not imply investing is a bad thing. The reality is that there is no such thing as reward without any risk, you need
to willing to lose something to gain something else.

This is essential to option pricing, it is why low delta options are cheap and high delta options are expensive. A high delta option will have a high probability of success but will demand the investor to risk more on the position.

If there wasn’t a gambling aspect to capital markets, there would be zero liquidity as nobody would deliberately take the negative expected value side of the trade.
It makes me cringe to see the original title changed from "developing" to "third world" country.

The term was originally used to either distinguish countries non-aligned with either capitalism or communism during the cold war but has since gained an economic connotation and become synonymous with "poor".

The Philippines is a capitalist country and consequently doesn't fit the first definition; it most definitely is not poor, so it also doesn't fit the last.
