Hire back Owen Van Natta and his team (including Eston Bond) and implement their new design in a modern programming framework.

Emphasize what Facebook lacks:
- The ability to compartmentalize your networks according to personas rather than "lists" (i.e., different profile photos for different groups of people, etc)

- Have the service be an arbitrator of sorts between oauth providers

More than anything:

DO NOT TOUCH MUSIC

Let it go for now.
I can finally delete my yahoo account.
If you're really coming, I'll be glad if we could share a few drinks.
They are simpler but keep it mind all the other things you get from running on Mesos, like provisioning your services, having your services restarted when they crash, workload migration when machines fail, bin-packing so you don't waste resources, etc.

The point is that it's not either/or. People who are working can be mistaken for people who are unhappy, simply because they're busy. It's an assumption that should be avoided.
The decision has been made in choosing to allow those boards with those moderators; that means complicity in the overall theme of the content.
I haven't even graduated and I wouldn't touch that offer with a 10 foot pole.
Ballsy? They are the richest company on the planet, and the biggest risk to their business is stagnation. They have enough cash on hand to buy the international space station 3 times over. Investors are roasting them for being entirely dependant on iPhone sales for revenue.

Where else are they going to invest this money? Having your own components is the most obvious way to strengthen their moat.

If they took a step outside consumer electronics and invested into a new market, or invented something never seen before, which they can do 3 times over, then yeah, that would be ballsy.
There was no evidence-driven judgement in favor of there being political discrimination in this case.

Perhaps I was being confusing, so I'll try again: What quantifiable evidence (not anecdotal, not hearsay, "may be" or implication) is there that this ratio of liberals to conservatives is an indicator of negative outcomes for conservatives?

Why would Gogo need to MITM YouTube to shape traffic? Can't they just cap each passenger's traffic, regardless of the website or whether it is encrypted?
Someone should write a script to just DMCA anyone that trolls legitimate projects and use the rules against these asshats.
Yes, that law also says that there should be a penalty. The parent poster is complaining about the fact that there isn’t any penalty. (In practice, that is.)
I'm not sure if you've thought of this but you should apply to internships/co-ops while you're still an undergrad. If you have a summer break from school, a summer internship in Silicon Valley would give you the skills and experience that will make you appealing to future (post college) employers. Importantly, this will teach you how to work with others; I'm not sure how much experience you get with that from freelancing.
Yea, interruptions are annoying, but you have to learn to get good at them. Communication is the most important part of large software projects, and denying someone knowledge is just going to make the workplace unproductive.

Obviously there are trivial interruptions, but I do not believe that coding in 4 hour blocks is healthy of useful. If you can't start where you left off, you're probably not documenting well either. How is anyone else going to debug that?
Growing up with the ZX Spectrum this article was a really interesting read. I never questioned toilets as enemies when I was 7 years old, but I do now =)
Bla Blubb. Of course it is an URL shortener.
Yes. An suitable analogy can be made to a hybrid car. Local servers (electric motor & batteries) for constant/idle-demand and EC2 (internal combustion engine) for high bandwidth & storage overflow during version deployments and peak loads.

We actually recommend this solution our clients who already have significant sunk costs and long-term SLA contracts in hardware and datacenter services.
I prefer brunettes and Plan9.
And on a large document it is a lot less usable currently, not just within the document but the interface to, seemed quiet snappy on a short document, IE and FF seem about the same, bit faster in chrome (about the usual amount).

I'm surprised their not using this to push silverlight actually, seems like a good way to prove it's worth.
I really wanted a Jupiter Ace, but had to do with the Sinclair and Apple devices at school. I had read a bit about Forth and thought it sounded rather cool.

I've been fascinated by RPN languages ever since - even managing to have great fun doing interactive PostScript development on slightly more expensive kit.
I forgot to ask, regardless of personal impressions, for reputable review websites that HNers would recommend.
Pure curiosity, a nice trait of this community. (I may decide to get another notebook depending on the price, though.)

How do I delete calacanis from all tech news?
If you meant they make a lot of money working as employees (e.g. as traders in banks that get a lot in bonuses even when they blow everythng up) then my comment was irrelevant. If you mean that a lot of people make money by beating the market (that's how i got it) then I would still like to see these references.
Another hyperbolic Techcrunch headline. It should be:

Facebook: Calacanis is Mistaken
According to a recent clojure survey
"Emacs ran away with it, actually moreso than I expected, in use by 70% all respondents."
http://muckandbrass.com/web/display/~cemerick/2010/06/07/Res...
Well, yes and no. At the kernel of this teenage drama is the very real issue of whether Facebook is making it unreasonably hard to delete your account.

Pity we have to wade through this link bait crap to follow what's going on. Startup idea: Tech Crunch for adults.
The cursing out episode was from Twenty Seven B Slash Six, not The Oatmeal. And the bigger hubbub was over the fact that the author posted personal information on reddit (trying to confirm someone's shipping address).
He may be a detractor, but the attitude is similar.
The guy who ticked off Reddit for being rude to a customer was this guy: http://www.27bslash6.com/missy.html

The Oatmeal may get most of their money via Reddit, but I don't think Reddit has a beef with them.
Mind you Google never told the guy what happened so he could properly defend himself or correct the problem
I'd define PayPalism as businesses with a significantly risk of fraud as a result of conducting financial activities and transactions with "online" customers.

Such businesses take huge risks since they are dealing with money and their bad phenomenons (tax evasion, credit-card/identity abuse, money laundry) without having real face-to-face contact and customer identification. Therefore, in order to stay competitive and manage their risk, they have in their agreements termination clauses which enable them to disable suspicious accounts unilaterally without providing explanations.

For both AdSense and PayPal, sustainable competition at feature-parity failed to appear. There aren't any agencies that allow a guy with only a few thousand impressions per month to earn a buck with a pay-per-click model, or any banks that allow you to open an account with them just by providing an email address. Which leads me to believe that the account closures are just part of the business model assumption which allows PayPalism corporations to manage their risk and survive.

But maybe I'm wrong and something better will emerge. The trick is to improve interactions with legitimate accounts while keeping abuse detection algorithms secret. Which might be a very, very difficult problem to solve...
Personally I don't think social bookmarking websites should be used for anything but entertainment. Because we only upvote things we want to see, so if submitted content is hugely important but rubs us the wrong way it wont get any traction.
A cushy introduction to living by oneself. My school built a new $60 million dollar gym two years ago that blows other gyms out of the water. I've got nice library's and computers to study on, cheap world class sports that can entertain me, and more. That's where a lot of the increased costs are going.
+1 will never use a cloud servcie that doesn't have a hard cap. Not just alerts. Hard cap.
It's similar in Mexico. It’s not a coincidence that FuckUp Nights started there. It’s a very traditionalist and failure averse country, so that “making it” means being a manager in a good position in an old monopoly, even in entrepreneurial circles (even then, is limited to family-sized stable business). (It also helps that the upper-middle class in Mexico imitates american ways of life). So it’s an antidote for that location.
"You don't even have to dive into React (which has its own unique way that I'd call barely JS anymore)."

Eh, I assume you're referring to the JSX syntax. I happily don't use it at all. It's all just JavaScript functions and objects.
Is Lean an LCF system or Curry-Howard based? It seems to be the latter, but if so, what's it's main advantage over the many other Curry-Howard based systems?
You're presuming that the time it takes to tweet the sunset consumes all of your remaining time for relaxing and enjoying the sunset.
It might be enough to use many different messaging apps in parallel. This enabled competition and a smooth transition between them. For example, I tend to slowly move from WhatsApp to Telegram as more new groups I join are created in Telegram while old groups in WhatsApp tend to get abandoned. Also, I often access these groups through opera via their API and not the native apps. This is a natural development in a market where people use multiple apps in parallel: aggregators emerge and with that, the power shifts to them. That’s a good thing as it makes it easier to transition from one solution to the other.

What could be done legally to help this development is requiring services to offer open APIs to reduce the lock-in.
wonder if there are similar templates for LibreOffice ?

I wouldnt mind paying for something like that
I love this kind of services that just work, no need for flashy menus. Plus the pricing model is convenient.
This is generally the feeling I've had since the conflict started. I don't think that the short time between this and the discover of North Korea's new nuclear facility is a coincidence.

An attempt by someone to make North Korea appear irresponsible perhaps?
I agree with you about this post. But the only thing to do is flag it and move on. Complaining in the post is rarely going to lead to anything productive at all, so you may as well not do it. Keep the thread clean for people who do want to talk about this.
> it's unrealistic to expect the CEO to even know that that local walmart exists

Maybe, just maybe we then should not have so large entities that nobody can be responsible for? Limited liability is a massive handout from society to the owners of the Limited liability company and should be priced accordingly. (I do not propose banning limited liability. I propose being more selective how and which operations actually deserve limited liability. And tax it appropriately.)
Wonder if it will end up like the flu, where we have to make a new vaccine every year to deal with that years strains.
~42%-45% of the US population is in Medicaid, Medicare or other government healthcare solutions. It's very clear that most people in the US do not think socialized / public healthcare is tantamount to Communism.

The US is left leaning compared to the majority of all nations.

Besides that, the US is far more progressive than eg Europe in many respects (and that's ignoring parts of Europe still ruled by actual fascism and dictatorship, countries where it's perfectly legal to beat your wife if you so choose and being gay is practically a crime). In the majority of Europe gay marriage is still illegal. How much more regressive and backwards can you get? The US is at least a decade ahead of Europe when it comes to gay rights and identity / gender matters.

In Denmark they're committing vast human rights violations against minority Muslims while the world looks the other way. Is that left by US standards? I don't see the US forcing cultural eradication upon Muslims or taking their children away from them and indoctrinating them with nationalistic propaganda.

Across Western Europe de facto Neo Nazi parties hold immense political power.

In France Macron has practically declared open cultural war against Muslims.

Formerly open immigration nations like Sweden have become hyper xenophobic and have locked down access. Neo Nazism is rampant in Germany and so is xenophobia. Meanwhile the US is one of the few affluent nations on the planet that still welcomes the poor and the non-skilled, you don't need to be rich or successful to immigrate into the US (and that's before Biden's Presidency begins, in which the Democrats will dramatically liberalize immigration).

Progressiveness is vanishing from Europe, while the US is becoming more progressive by the decade. So where are all these nations around the world that are a lot further left than the US? There are maybe a dozen, tops.

The US now spends more on its welfare state as a share of its economy than either Canada or Australia. In the next 10-15 years it'll catch up to Britain on that point.

The US is also progressing much faster on drug decriminalization and legalization than Europe is. And half of Europe is guaranteed to remain backwards, regressive, on all of the previously mentioned items.
I'm still looking for a browser that lets me pay websites visited in exchange of being served no ads.

I don't understand why Mozilla doesn't offer this kind of subscription in Firefox. That could solve their funding problem too.
You can use "-site:quora.com" for searches to exclude quora. Google search has pretty intuitive api.

More than the interest paid on savings accounts.
Would be nice if you could get the answer to a reasonable question without the down-votes though.
The vast majority of google services contribute fuck all to their bottom line - they’re purely a way to tie more and more things into “the google” and gather more information on people.

If they didn’t use the information, they wouldn’t need to gather it, and thus they wouldn’t need to build, run, “support” (lol) so many things that are objectively not profitable unless they abuse people’s private information.
My teachers were terrible at explaining that concept. In retrospect they did more damage than good with their explanation. It also doesn't help that vectors are introduced much later in math than mechanics in physics(at least where I live).
Sorry if I come across as stupid but where do you usually look? I’m only in my first role but I’m thinking to start trying to attract offers from elsewhere.

UK based if that matters on site recommendations
Active versus passive is less of an issue here than a 'reasonable expectation of privacy'. Regardless of whether you're transmitting energy into a premises, you're still 'looking inside'.

It's worth noting that a normal human without engineering training is aware of silhouettes or even if the window is open - if they do things in plain view, there is onus on them. It takes specialised knowledge to even know this hi-tech stuff is possible for the most part, so you can't really equate passive collection of undetectable-by-human radiation to things like windows and silhouettes, when it comes to the average person.
I love it. When you visit Excite, there's a message saying they're redesigning their site: http://www.excite.com/.

When do you ever need to do that, rather than doing the redesign and then publishing it whenever it's ready..?
Is this the product? https://igloo.chat/
Are there any fundamental differences between unity and godot? React and jQuery are philosophically complete different - are there any salient aspects of godot that makes it better than unity/potentially more popular?
Thankfully we don't need an excuse.
> Didn't know it was an anti-pattern.

You really just have to be clear whether you are building a distributed monolith vs a set of microservices. In the former case, you are optimizing entirely for performance and scalability concerns. It just so happens if you have things that require scaling of the underlying hardware, our current state-of-the-art tooling handles scaling hardware resources (number of cores and memory) better when you have separate services rather than bundling it all in a single program.

However, you get none of the operational/human-level process changes of microservices. Teams are still coupled to the changes in the shared state. Anything that changes the shared state cannot be deployed independently. In fact from a process perspective things are probably even harder to coordinate now since the coupling is still there, but not explicitly expressed in code anymore. And from a site reliability perspective, you still have a single point of failure: the shared memory. Any mitigation strategies you use for that you could've used for a monolith as well.
I sometimes go out of my way to hide my identity from sites/services I sign up with. Easiest way to get doxxed is for someone to ask one of their polticially-aligned buddies working at a site to pull up your info.

Is it not just an electron? I would see if you can anbox the APK. Although the stock Debian kernel is not up to task. Need to turn the Android knobs. Binder and ashmem.
I don’t really agree that Apple is similar. I am no Apple fanboy, but if you want hardware will all the same features, complexity and polish; in particular a phone, there is no competitor that can make an identical clone. Printing vinyl on a hoodie though, that’s a pretty well solved problem.

As for expressing yourself, does it really count? These brands are marketed at you in a million different ways. Then by purchasing what are you expressing?
IMHO, neither is the most interesting work. There are some really interesting jobs writing software for machines with life-and-death consequences. Imagine knowing that your software is implanted in a human, or that we rely on it to prevent a huge pipeline from exploding.
Yeah... your comment clarified this for me. "Reviews" are intended for other (potential) customers. "Feedback" is intended for the business itself. Prior to TalkBin, customers left reviews on Yelp/Foursquare/etc and hoped the business itself looked at it once in awhile. TalkBin makes the feedback process more direct.
The argument is that if you didn't want them posted under "Mr John Smith" you shouldn't have posted them at all. I think they let you delete/hide all your old comments as part of the transition, but agreed that only accounts for the personal account use case, not the corporate YouTube channel use case.

Can someone explain the advantage of doing this as opposed to rehabilitating the vast swathes of empty houses in Detroit? Less expensive? Or are the containers more durable than the houses they are replacing?
To better her situation. I agree with you.

I'm just pointing that people aren't (always) rational and I was referencing a quote that may give you a clue as to why. Look at bdcravens comment as well.
I think a more charitable interpretation of the author statements are that she has an overwhelming feeling that she will never not be poor, and that feeling causes her to make poor decisions, rather than believing that it is an inevitability in an intellectual sense. As the author suggests to, in the quote provided by chaostheory, this is akin to, or perhaps actually is, depression.

That knowledge that this "feeling" is, to some extent, self-reinforcing, does not diminish its importance, or offer any easy solutions - anything along the lines of telling people to "just get on with things" isn't really constructive.
I grew up in a roach-infested, food stamp family. My dad was a janitor. Mom didn't work; she has (undiagnosed) mental issues. Home experience was filth and cigarette smoke. We had no car. Sent home dozens of times for head lice while in school.

Today I'm a developer and am upper middle-class, some years making what my dad made in 10-15 years.

That said, I still fight feelings of being poor. It's a mindset, not a bank account balance.
> There's a saying that "Every man has his price."

Yup, agreed.

And Acton left after his golden handcuffs were up and put $50M into Signal.

Honestly, the situation could have been worse. Let's hope that $50M now propels the future towards truly decentralized communication.
> Full transparency should be paramount.

Full transparency is paramount. It's just not practice.
By that logic, is Wikipedia perhaps not worth anything at all? Monthly user subscriptions is not the only way to determine value.
I swear the advent of Trump has precipitated an absolute crisis in critical thinking skills. Whenever I see people salivate at stories like this, waiting for the juicy details to get leaked, my heart dies a little. It's as if no one has any empathy or understanding that privacy is a necessary thing for society to function. It's almost never fair to judge a person based on their private life or private conversations. If this does end up "with Wikileaks", as some people here have mentioned, the outcome can only be bad. The average person cannot be trusted to make a level-headed assessment of anything like this. They'll latch onto damning sounding comments and magnify them to irresistible proportions and ensure that a completely imbalanced picture of those involved becomes the common view.
James, you’ve gotta update your profile :).
COVID type restrictions are inherently vague and broad unlike say a typical law that has all sorts of specifics, or has been litigated enough that we know what can be expected.

Any kind of enforcement, for better and worse will result in this kind of thing. In both countries that are used to very broad law about moments ... but even more so those that aren't used to enforcing such laws.

That's not a justification, but IMO the reality of the situation.
The argument is that leaders ought to have an understanding of which way they're blowing the wind - their own personal thresholds have little bearing on how far the people they're speaking to will go unless the take a hard stance on where that threshold is. In this case, Trump at the very least failed to articulate beforehand where the line was, and it was very clear the line not being clear was a big problem.

A secondary problem seems to be selective recognition of this: people are easily able to see the potential second order effects of Trump's rhetoric and react to it, but the same levers are not being pulled as actively when other people take similar rhetorical risks that have plausible deniability as contributing to violence for the reasons I mention.
> Software engineers at FAANG really should be working on a protocol of governance that automates all the decision making congress could and would do

Technocracy is much worse than even representative democracy. We could barely even imagine the horrors that would come from being subject to laws generated by rigid computers.
dang@, where ya at?

No, your comment was just inappropriate. dang@ is the moderator.

And I don’t have discussions with delusional people. I wrote a super long reply to someone else as you clearly saw. But they weren’t talking like brainwashed people.

But if you did want to delete your comment instead of being passive aggressive, please do so.
