Who exactly is "they"? Anyone who disagrees with you? Anyone who votes for a Republican candidate? Trump supporters? Some subset of Trump supporters who say the election was fraudulent? What about Trump supporters who say the election MAY have been fraudulent -- do they also get silenced?

This is a slippery slope. You either have freedom of speech, or you don't. Muzzling people who have ideas you consider dangerous has a way of blowing back in your face; in fact it almost guarantees violence, when people feel they are not allowed to vent.
I'm guessing we're going to see a lot more PyTorch-esque models, where large companies support the development because they themselves use the project.
So you're literally using banning child porn to justify banning political discussion: exactly what free speech advocates predicted when censorship hit the internet.
I don't think positive or negative makes much difference. Whether we speed up or slow down we can still "make it monotonic".

“Our volume of traffic right now is possible only because Facebook has been very generous about linking to our content,” he said. “I’m aware that they might not be so generous forever.”

Next in line. Many folks have relied on FB traffic only to be crushed beneath the mighty hand of an algorithm change. We've seen it a million times with Google demolishing a site's traffic overnight with an algo update, and now we're seeing it with Facebook as well. None of these traffic sources like to be gamed and will eventually catch up and "fix" the problem.

I have no problem with someone getting paid by capitalizing on third party traffic sources (in this case social) but it's a fool's errand to assume this is going to be sustainable once the distributor decides they want a piece of the pie.

This was a daytime landing, by the way.
Also worth explicitly mentioning SSB-style cryptographic “implicit identity”.

Connecting consists of exchanging public keys (which can be global per person, or compartmentalized per contact/conversation).

Rather than a central server relating messages to the right peers, there’s a global feed where you attempt to decrypt everything and the ones which succeed are obviously addressed at you.

The benefit here is that not even a central server operator like Signal can trivially tie messages or chat identities to peers.

Writing a blog post about technology, such as teaching a library or programming language, or how to accomplish something, or even docs for your own library is really hard to get right. In the programming field I work in, I'd guess about 90% of all tutorials / tech blog posts are poorly written. Even Github READMEs are a minefield of very poorly presented ideas. I would not encourage people to continue to add to this noisy spectrum unless they are already capable of conveying ideas clearly and simply. Most technical articles, including many that front page HN, do not come close to this criteria.

I agree that writing can be helpful for many things, such as expressing emotion, or telling stories, or just a journal. In those scenarios, it's not dangerous to get it wrong. No one will lose their way in a technical project because you can't write cleanly about your dog.

Write anything except technical articles, until someone comments with something like "this was really well written!" Then you can consider adding to the painful cloud of tech articles.

If you release a tech blog post without editing (and largely re-writing) it a minimum of three times, stop doing it. Seriously. You're not helping.

Also, if you're a newcomer to a tech field and get discouraged by trying to learn about something from online resources, 90% of the time it's not you. It's the author being unable to clearly present ideas. Don't get discouraged!
This is a famous article of Nick Bostrom from 2002 (published in Philosophical Quaterly). I saw this first in a seminar on anti-realistic theories of truth.

If we are indeed living inside a simulation, what knowledge can we have about an external world?

My "data loss" happened when Firefox updated itself automatically, said add-on was not compatible with latest Firefox and was disabled. After some time it became compatible again and was reenabled. All cookies in "containers" were lost.

Not sure anything else was lost though.

Anyway, password manager is still on a global (not per container/account), so it's easy to make mistakes and log in with "credentials A" in " container B". Or am I missing something?
The features don’t matter. It’s all about the outcomes. What can people do with your software?

I've seen software with the opposite problem-- simulation tools applied to problems outside the range they were designed to handle. For example, a tool that idealizes gases in a room as well-mixed, used to analyze smoke movement during a fire. Or a program that assumes ducts have no air leaks, used to estimate energy losses in a duct system. In cases like these, the results aren't total garbage, but they do have to be interpreted very carefully.

For some software, a feature list isn't just "what the software does." It's also a list of warnings about where the results should be taken with a grain of salt.
Well, there's Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, however it doesn't really give you a single number the way IQ does (how could it!). I'm reminded somewhat of the scene on the spaceship to Battle School from Ender's Shadow.
The internet is already full of self-published crap because self-publishing in digital form is already trivially easy. Making it easier to self-publish is not going to disrupt the publishing industry, because the publishing industry still serves a valuable service: they sift through all of that crap to find the few good stories. More importantly, they identify promising authors and mentor them into authors worth reading. If you want to disrupt the publishing industry, you need to develop an alternative solution for helping people figure out what is worth reading (probably not too difficult) and and alternative solution for developing the skills of writers (much more challanging).
> Instead, the experienced developer will always approach a problem with "What is the simplest way to solve this problem?"

And what would you call my mindset, which can be summarized as "what cool features I can use to express the problem and it's solution in a simplest way"?

Remember, copy pasting is also very simple solution to many common problems.
I have seen this stated before. What is your source please? This is false: SARS-CoV-2 is significantly more lethal than seasonal influenza for all ages past puberty. In fact, at 50 it is almost 15 times more lethal.

React makes it even harder actually. Angular has some ways to help. Ember has it. Vue - not so much
Free market ignores need and just exploits want.

Regulation ensures those in need receive it.

Scarcity ensures demand, supply erodes price.

The ability for companies to charge what they want for the vaccine would ensure only those that could afford it would receive it, and there wouldn't be additional capital investment because that would dilute profits.

I agree that the priority system is screwed up in many places and that as a result a lot of people were vaccinated who really shouldn't have been at this stage.

But that's the moral choice of the people who designed those systems, and the people who didn't decline even though that was the right choice.

But two wrongs don't make a right. It's still wrong for you to jump the queue, regardless of what everyone else is doing.
> We're not going back to pre covid lives period.

We are. Most people, myself included, won't accept living like this forever. If vaccination fails and no treatment will be found, we'll expand healthcare capacity and accept that people will die.

The right wing in the US has been programmed to be eternally afraid of the "other," regardless of what form it takes. Ingenuity is diminished when you try to filter out different perspectives.
Picsee is an app where you can enjoy visual communication by sharing Camera Rolls with your close friends and family. Since your photos are sent right when you take a photo, it’s like sharing eachothers’ visual experiences on the spot which brings about a feeling of closeness.
It makes me happy to see other markets besides Silicon Valley and SF (yes I do not consider SF part of the Silicon Valley) get some attention about what they're doing.

US News did a great piece about my hometown, Portland about how it's becoming a great place to start a company.

http://www.usnews.com/opinion/economic-intelligence/2014/12/...

I can attest to this. SF is a great place to start a company, but Portland is a different world. People are much more collaborative. If you start a company here, you'll be able to find help. It's incredible. I'm Bay Area born and raised, but I'll never go back. The underserved markets are less toxic, more collaborative, and foster an ecosystem in which people can focus on their product or services without a lot of underlying tension.

Between 1995 and 2000 I lived in a student house in the UK and one of my housemates (who was also a student, and from my recollection almost as broke as I was back then) was really into investing into the stock market during the dot-com boom.

He bought both Lastminute.com (IPO March 2000 @ 380p/share[1], sold to Travelocity in 2005 @ 165p/share[2]) and Railtrack (IPO 1996[3], went bankrupt 2001[4])

It depends on the language you're using (working with Scala is usually slow). Also, make sure that IntelliJ caches are on an SSD. VS is very quick, but for example parsing C# is very easy compared to Scala (partly because C# was designed for that from day zero). Maven also slows down things a bit (IntelliJ can search in classes that are not even referenced by the project.)
My dayjob's CTO knows about some of my side projects. I keep it vague, however. "I work on a lot of open source projects in my off-time, for fun."

Then again, my side projects are more in the vein of, "Find security holes in Symfony," than, "Start a multi-million dollar enterprise."
It's also a classic example of an argument that proves too much. If the earth can't move because it lacks limbs then surely the sun isn't able to move either.
It's awesome in its own way. Our emphasis was on

• allowing arbitrarily deep call stacks (e.g., deep recursion)

• allowing computation to be interrupted

• turning async interfaces into sync ones

This means you can't just compile altjs function calls to JavaScript function calls. That's the work that @jpolitz is referring to. The last we checked, ClojureScript did not address these issues as well (though it does other awesome things!).
What bothers me is that there is just 'us' and 'them'. There is not even the hint of allies or any shade of gray in all this, you are either part of the United States or you are fair game.
Hey, I'm one of that 25%! I have a Galaxy Nexus which reads but cannot send email, reads and writes SMS, and which gives me a tiny little sliver of a peephole into the web. I run no apps because I am not willing to put any Google account credentials into the device, and for reasons I cannot comprehend, even free apps require you to go through Google Play.

All of which is to say, I'd love to run a smartphone with no ties to one of the big tech companies and their proprietary sandboxes. I'd install apps if I didn't have to deal with some proprietary app store which requires a login just to download free stuff. A smartphone might be a cool thing to have - but not if it's tied to Apple, Google, or Microsoft.
FB undoubtedly knows enough about powerful judges and politicians to get what they want. J. Edgar Hoover's wildest dreams didn't contemplate what Facebook can do.

that's reasonable. patreon is the closest we've come to the richard stallman "press a button send a dollar directly" that I know of, and I really believe in that concept.

However, and this is my autism not being able to let stuff go, as I realize i should let this thread die a peaceful death, however, a few dollars split among many, doesn't make you a quote unquote true fan, in the definition of the article. I will now stop arguing with you, as you support developers with your personal dollars. Regarding only fans, i'm pretty sure that crosses over to paying for a service rather than paying for entertainment, although it does have 'fan' in the title so you've got me there at least.
I wonder how much of the tracking would still be necessary if Facebook didn't limit the organic reach of local business pages, as I understand they do in order to boost their ad offerings, and allowed them some space in the feed based purely on the likes/fans/comments they have as they did in the early years.

I read the entire comment. I’m not talking about relative costs of waiting to refuel. I’m just talking about actual effective daily range for a road trip. Refuel times directly affect daily range.
Aside from the fact that you are conflating copyright with price, note that many standards organizations charge money for copies of their standards documents.

ISO charges roughly 20 times the price of a paperback book for a 33 page document. You can buy BS/ISO 8601-1:2019 from the BSI for an even more exorbitant £246. Standards Australia will sell the older 2007 version to you for a mere AUD165.

But this is not special. All standards documents cost money from these organizations, from dates and times to electrical plugs. Treasure the fact that you can (for example) get (some) ECMA standards from ECMA for free. It isn't the norm.
Hyperbole.

Being a separate device, as you said, means the phones would still work independent of Apple.

The Chinese government would block updates and sales, hencecustomers would blame them, not Apple, because Apple was incentivized with customers instead of the government moving forward.

One thing that we are very confident of is that if we were only able to let this 'critical mass' of people know about the game, it would certainly be a big hit and grow exponentially. This conclusion is based on actual feedback about the game from people who we've shown the game to. Everyone unanimously agrees though that getting this critical mass is going to be difficult. Help!

Interesting to remember the Columbia tragedy while recalling Richard Feynman's report summarizing the culture problems at NASA he found following the Challenger disaster. It's clear that NASA ultimately learned very little (or forgot it after 15 years).

No matter the state of the shuttle program, it's also a shame that NASA didn't maintain a non-reusable rocket system that could have allowed for expensive but relatively low-risk emergency flights for this sort of thing. If the shuttle's all you've got then it's going to be difficult to address unexpected problems with another shuttle just like it.

There is no instance in this post of Apple repeatedly rejecting an idea before embracing it, nor of an Apple competitor rejecting an idea before embracing it.

How is your criticism in any way related to the OP?

(Also: the great majority of the instances I can recall where Gruber has called something "claim chowder" have not been about an Apple competitor rejecting an idea, let alone subsequently embracing it. Top results for me on Google right now: (1) Henry Blodget saying the iPhone is dead -- not an Apple competitor; (2) someone at "Fast Company" saying Google Plus is going to have lots of users -- not an Apple competitor, not rejecting an idea; (3) someone at The Register predicting that Apple will launch a phone and it will fail within a year or two -- not an Apple competitor, not really rejecting an idea; (4) lots of people, mostly not Apple competitors, being unimpressed by the iPad in various ways; (5) BGR claiming that Apple were going to launch a new version of the Apple TV OS -- not an Apple competitor, not rejecting an idea. I'll stop there but the next few were also not Apple competitors rejecting ideas.)

(Yeah, Gruber is a zealot and not perfectly impartial between Apple and Apple's competitors. That is not news. If there's something he's actually done wrong on this occasion, let's hear it. If not, what's the point of irrelevant criticisms?)
To me, it seems like the easiest thing in the world go to the the Pirate Bay, look something up, click "Get this torrent" and wait ten minutes or so for it to show up.

Then I tried teaching someone who's not tech savvy to do it. She didn't have adblock, so she was confused by the Russian wives for sale and by the multiple Download buttons. She was deeply suspicious of having to download uTorrent and completely lost as to how to choose which of several available torrents she should pick.

I don't know. I try to use Netflix on someone's Xbox and have the exact same problem. How the hell am I supposed to navigate with a joystick? Is it A or B to select? How do I go back?

Maybe we're all just getting old.
One is by teaching and giving talks. I too see patterns repeat themselves, so I try to boil the latest trend down to what is genuinely new. Clients are particularly happy to be ELI5'd.

Second, my interest is burrowing down into the underlying mathematics and formalisms. This frees you from having to chase trends at the superficial level (React vs Vue, for example). I went for a PhD in my dotage just to up my game (see my comment history for a recent thread where I described my experience).

Third, I got disillusioned with working for BIG Software and their clients. But smaller companies and organisations and NGOs have got interesting problems to solve, but can't afford talent. Here you get to do build the entire thing on your own, and it is an art to make it simple and aesthetic and a pleasure to use; you get to use lots of relatively new and free technologies, without putting the client's business at risk.
U1 to U6 are very carefully defined. "Unemployment" is U3.

You can argue that U3 is not that informative of course. Especially since the labour structure is changing (much more casual work, "gig economy" effects) and that therefore a particular U3 over time doesn't mean the same in terms of people's lives. To argue, though, that it gets "re-defined and manipulated" simply isn't true.
