After a bit of googling I found out that I was wrong in assuming that search-team of Google is reserved only for veterans and freshers are not allowed. Also it's a fact that you learn more from industrial exposure than that of textbooks.

As for OP, I got a nice resource, which may help him currently: http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/ir/
By being one of the first commercial ISPs with a user facing DNSSEC deployment. The issue of DNS redirection being incompatible with DNSSEC is a technical one, here comcast is just an early report of the fact that they will cease all DNS redirection once DNSSEC resolvers are the default solution. Verizon and openDNS both will be in the same boat once client resolvers demand signed zones.

It's no different than hearing about the results of a new RFC from google even if you use bing for search.
I used this a bit when I was a student living in dorms, and getting stuff in two days was very convenient. But now the UPS/FedEx aspect is just too much of a hassle to deal with, so I prefer using USPS shipping. How do people get around the problems with having to be home to receive shipments, if you don't live somewhere like a dorm that has a mailroom handling that for you, and don't work at home? After the first time I had to drive to some UPS shipping center to pick up a package, I stopped considering this a viable shipping option.
And that is why you need growth.
I enjoy embedded.fm
It’s interesting that HN is included in the list of social media. I do spend more time than I should on HN but I really don’t conflate it with social media. As far as I know HN has a no procrastination mode and no such feature can be found on Twitter/Facebook/etc and as far as I can tell HN isn’t designed to be addictive, not in the same sense Facebook is. But no matter how I look at it I do spend too much time here and do feel a bit guilty about it.

I noticed that the main page is more or less stable and the top 30 stories stay put throghout the day and that helps quite a bit with me not needing to frequently check what’s going on on HN. One look is sufficient for that. My conclusion is that HN is not predatory in cahsing the last drop of engagement the same way for profit social media like FB/twitter/reddit are.
The penalty for trespassing in the Capitol is not and never has been death. Calling trespass and vandalism treason and sedition and saying that these minor crimes merit the death penalty is egregiously immoral and dishonest.

"Summary execution" refers, not only, to police shooting protesters on sight, but also to sham trials with extreme and unlawful sentences.

I am criticizing the people who called for summary execution. It's immoral and unlawful.
They stormed the capitol because they believe the election was stolen without any evidence or facts with any basis in reality.
That's mentioned in the linked post.
Does anybody remember Habbo Hotel from a decade ago? Second Life and There? These all appear to be rehashes - of course with the video conferencing aspect but not at all profound in dynamic/immersive voice communication. These platforms used to be massive. I'm not sure if they were ever able to manage unicorn levels of monetization unfortunately.

An aside, I think these projects are awesome, this one included, and I really enjoyed those social games then. Will be following how this develops closely.
I like the original better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_General_Strike
> What is it that they have a problem with?

We struggle a lot with “fake churn” in baremetrics.

By that, I mean any time a customer on a credit card subscription upgrades to a “pay by invoice” tier, it shows as a churn of the credit card subscription and as new revenue for the invoice subscription.

This makes churn wildly inaccurate and we spend a couple hours per month adjusting the numbers to get accurate data.

FWIW profitwell suffers the same issue.

We’ve looked but haven’t found a great solution for metrics when stripe isn’t the sole source of customer payments.

Edit: But all things considered, we love baremetrics, just not their churn calculations (and by proxy, LTV is also broken, and any other metric that uses churn)
I agree with this "bubble of association" idea, and it doesn't have to start out political. Its just easier than ever to surround yourself with people like you. We have all kinds of segregation in who we live near, and who we associate with. The fact that its less about race than at anytime in history makes it easy for this segregation to hide itself. I live in a red state, but during the election my kids counted the signs in neighbors yards, it was 3:1 Biden. I work in tech, and so do most people in my well off, blue neighborhood. We are racially diverse, but segregated from people who don't think like us. I bet most people in here work at companies that are predominantly liberal or libertarian. I bet most people live in well off neighborhoods surrounded by college educated, worldly people with very little to fear from the world.
I use it as well. It has some quirks but generally does what I want it to do.
"Software" is the implementation of logic. "Engineering" is solving problems with science, within a set of constraints.

Therefore software engineering, is solving problems with logic, within a set of constraints.

Where constraints can be; business requirements, hardware limitations, development time limitations, performance limits, solution simplicity, release frequency... Etc

Mastery of software engineering is efficiently solving problems, and optimising for the constraints that matter...
One has to be very careful in determining what work amounts to "value shipped". It's not uncommon to have a few persons who seem to ship all the value, while the rest.. just enable them to do so, by doing the required, but invisible stuff, like the refactoring required for the new feature to ship, or fixing the bugs that makes the customers not leave, or attend those meetings that has to be attended by someone. This is somewhat related to the 10x engineer story, sure, some are a lot better than others, but sometimes it's not entirely undue to their situation. Maybe it is a skill too, to be aggressive enough to grab the work that looks most valuable and push that through, leaving your team to do the rest.
I vote for Telegram as well. You can't use Signal without a cellphone... and cellphones are a privacy nightmare. I activated Telegram with a burner phone number, and I don't have to keep the phone on to use Telegram on desktop or online. I never shared any contact with Telegram, and I added everybody manually. You don't have to give your number to be added on telegram, you can use an @handle. A a lot of people among my friends are organically switching to telegram.
> Never before in human history have we had privately operated for-profit organisations with so much power and influence over the running of countries

Newspapers has this power before. Arguablying more so as there are Twitter alternatives and people can move platforms quickly as we saw with reddit and thedonald.win

I guessing it was easier to control before as there were narrow corridors of power to owners/govt.
In essence I agree with you, but let's not forget that in most countries, the government has already complete (albeit strongly regulated) control and access to postal services and everything that is sent through them, and I think most citizens (me included) are okay with that as well.

Furthermore; I'd much rather have the government spying in my stuff than Facebook selling my data to the highest bidder; at least if that were my only two choices.
Neither is cup...
> in case the First one doesn’t work out.

That's a nice idea, until someone thinks "doesn't work out" includes "I don't get the electoral result that I wanted".
I'm not actually sure of that the news media are willing to carry every message.

From where I'm sitting (In Australia) the US news media seems to be quite free and happy to limit their coverage of output from the White House. Now the news media are commercial companies and I'm guessing their thinking is that they don't want to broadcast material that their audience finds distasteful or unappealing so they limit what they broadcast.

My first reaction to the banning of the President was to wonder how I get an unedited account of what (however bizarre) he is saying and it's proving to be somewhat difficult. Maybe he's given up and gone back to playing golf so nothing is being said.

I think the media companies are in a very difficult position. Platforms like Facebook and Twitter have been placed in a position of a primary outlet for any number of public personalties and as such have a degree of moral responsibility to clearly and without alteration transmit the words of those personalities. The problems start when the personalities use the platforms and the comment systems associated with them not as a conduit for information but as a soapbox to persuade people to believe dangerous falsehoods and organise illegal activity.

The question is, where is the line drawn.

Can I post fiction on Twitter? Of course, and there are many authors who do just that, posting stories in small chunks. Can I post satire? Yep, the Onion does this regularly, with their audience fully understanding that what they read is not factual. Can I post blatant damaging falsehoods about identified people? Well yes, but I'm guessing that I could be facing deformation charges, and I'd probably be reported to twitter and banned.

So the line is drawn, post what you like, but don't cause damage with false information. This again raises the question, should the news media broadcast the words of public officials if those words are false and potentially damaging?

In an ideal world we would have a well educated public with finely tuned bullshit detectors who would be able to safely consume unedited false content, being able to determine for themselves what is and isn't true. Unfortunately in most countries we have a significant proportion of the population who are unable to determine attractive falsehood from fact which leaves the news media in the position of editing/censoring words to try to limit damage.
Not a failed coup. Not Pearl Harbor. Not even close. It seems like it’s currently anathema to not be hyperbolic.
Anything goes on wikipedia as long as it are established long term so called contributors doing it - there are no rules.

It gets spectacularly hilarious where the best way to become a long term contributor is by deleting a lot of contributions. The more people you run off the wiki the more praise from others doing the same.

You have to ask the right questions like: "Why are you not writing articles?" The logs are all there. I'm not making stuff up. Its a honest question to ask if someone is deleting well researched properly sourced contributions day and night the year round.

It gets quite hilariously silly where it is argued that peoples identity can not be verified. It is amazingly easy for someone [old] with a life time worth of experience in a field to write down some completely obvious things - but not as easy as pressing a delete button in anonymity. You should ask about this and enjoy the absurd answers.

It is safer to ban those less likely to commit violence.

This is not an action.
Good. So you have no problem with me refusing to bake a cake for a gay couple because I have a moral objection? They can make their own cake.
I think most things stand up pretty well to the stomach. Often though, it is the metabolites of any given substance which do the good, so its after they're processed somewhat.
As a biochemist, I can confirm that this is all that excited, bright-eyed undergrads talk about when they're in their cups at a biochem event.
it's not anger so much as dismay (for me, at least). the hearts of UBI proponents are often in the right place, but the solution is grossly ignorant and shortsighted. it won't lead to any meaningful long-term change, but rather a new equilibrium where the struggling have even less leverage and opportunity.

and many proponents are really only trying to solve for "i don't want to experience poor people" rather than "i don't want people to be poor (especially if caused by automation i created)". you see this position a lot in comments here about homelessness in SF, for example.

UBI tries to solve a complicated problem (inequity) with a simple solution (the simplicitiy of which is irresistably attractive to makers of all sorts). inequity needs to be solved by healing the thousand cuts we've endured over the last 50 years, not with the tiny little band-aid that is UBI.

we need to fix the ways that plutocrats have tilted the economy in their favor. just around taxation: income tax rates, employment taxes, capital gains tax, depreciation, corporate loss-shifting, interest deduction, nearly every deductions actually, etc. moreso, lending (student loans, mortgages), insurance (healthcare), and real estate (literal rents) have become de facto ways of extracting rents out of the many for the few.
People like to insist on differences.

I prefer to insist on commonalities. We are all human, the same race living on the same planet, with minor variations in customs that add salt to life.
I think the smart TV is inherently a lock in platform like the old phone market use to be when Nokia phones were all the rage.

If the smart TV runs android I'm ok with it the apps are already there but if anything else i would rather have the "smart" part outside my TV and just get a regular old TV.

Say for instance using XBMC I know it's a lot less likely the apps will get out of date or I'm going to be forced by some vendors whims to use certain service because they need to increase their profit margins.
Cory Doctorow calls it "the war on general-purpose computing" and it's a pretty damn good read [1] (or talk [2]).

>that everyone has an equal chance to react to market moves and price changes.

A rich person or big trading house can buy rack space close to New York or whatever city their market is based on, a regular person cannot. This ability gives a significant advantage to rich people/business owners, therefore the market is not fair at all.
Well my expression was a bit unfortunate, I'll agree. And car races are big business too, just a different business than cycling. We'll see - while I think it's useful tech, I just don't see much future in the uses promoted in the article.
Y combinator startup regalii is working on the first point.

On point 3, have you tried Autodesk Homestyler? I used it for a similar purpose :)
I'm curious about this - I've seen that behavior with Android users as well.

Why specifically do you want to turn WiFi, GPS, and bluetooth on or off? I can think of several potential reasons, but would like a user's perspective.
As a recently-minted PhD from a good university, there is at least some stigma associated with blogging or appealing to general population.

your academic peers, determine where you get your next job, whether you get tenure, etc. You don't want them thinking that your research is frivolous because you have popular blog posts or press coverage. strong publications come first, everything else is lower on the scale.

Another example is teaching. At top univs, getting an award for teaching as an untenured prof may indicate that you're not spending enough time on research.
One area where they really need to better embrace digital technology is with TV shows. There are many people around the world that would happily pay for or watch shows through services like hulu. TV networks though would rather sell traditional rights to overseas networks to show whenever they see fit.

The problem is though in a connected world if your not watching the TV show the same day it is aired in America you won't be able to follow online conversation and the chances are before it's finally aired someone would have let slip the premise or twist so your no longer surprised.

This just means they lose the chance to make anything off big overseas fans when a show is first aired because they will all be downloading it.
They possess essentially no power in labour negotiations, and most of them live under the yoke of debt.
Cruel and unusual is a thing that gets interpreted and re interpreted. The 1A is pretty unambiguous. I believe they enjoy a subset of 1A rights, though not all as felons lose some rights.
Unfortunately NAT has made us lazy. If even a small number of a particular type of IOT device is being deployed on native IPv6 networks, you’ve got to face the security consequences anyway.

Also NAT is not a firewall, but that’s a story for another day.
So... is this pretty much providing a "headless" gui like coca does (e.g. UITableView), and then gives you a delegate or something which you implement for styling it (e.g. UITableViewDelegate)?
I haven't laughed at a post this hard in ages. thanks.
There are quite a few other search engines. Any one you like in particular?
So is the anti-big-tech policy really genuinely unpopular with voters as you're implying or does it trigger the backlash from Big Tech? Like for example facebrick adjusting their algos to promote say, anti-Warren content. How would we know?

It seems to me like most people support Warren's anti-big-tech stance in principle or they don't much care. Not many outside of the bubble seem to be genuinely opposed to it and it's a quite esoteric argument as to why it would make things worse (maybe a true, valid and legitimate argument, - but not the sort of thing that takes on support organically without a bit of push - can we see that push?).

Then there's the obscenely large amounts spent by big tech on lobbying in washington and PR in the media and in places like right here.

Do any of us really believe big tech isn't paying for PR here at hacker news? Whether the PR is working is a different question. Whether there is a lot of pro-big tech opinion, much of which I share, here organically is a different question - and yes there is. The only thing that would prevent paid PR here is if hacker news has no impact and paid PR could not influence and this was known, as far as I can see.

Separate to the venture capitalist owners interests being served by mods, which of course happens and there's nothing intrinsically wrong with it, either.

The person appeared to be advocating real world action based on the contents of a fictional novel. Sure, it is a fact that the story exists and is interesting. That doesn't mean that it prescribes a particular action for people to take in the real world. Anything can happen in a fiction story, but as far as we can tell, the real world is not fiction and is limited in what can happen. This means that it is potentially very dangerous to take actions based on the events of a fictional story, as there is no guarantee (or even a good reason) to believe that the real world operates in the same fashion as any particular fictional world.
It probably cuts down on people signing up for a lark and then not showing up.
I might start responding with:

"Oh, I think it will be a great idea. The government will see how good of a citizen I am and how much I learn on my own, and perhaps, if I'm lucky, they'll give me a job so that I can stop cooking the rats in my walls."
If Rust is intended to replace C, wouldn't you expect lots of this sort of literature? i.e. isn't this actually a sign of its _success_?
I've done a fair amount of hiring. It's usually pretty easy. The managers complaining about it are just bad at their jobs or work for employers with bad reputations. Don't take their whining too seriously.
This would be an interesting way for the meat lobby to try to kill the Impossible Whopper.

If you have to also purchase separate capital equipment to cook the food, then it will kill the product. (Microwaves have residue just like stove tops).
I give non-fives for cheating ( extending pickup or dropoff ), serious safety issues ( falling asleep and drifting out of lane ), and impersonating ( a different person than registered to drive ). The platform should be able to detect the first cheating problem, the other two are much harder and should have customer input.
In the case of imgur, I think the problem was financial.

Running an image hosting site for you to share memes or screenshots with a couple friends is cheap. But becoming the primary method of posting images to reddit gets extremely expensive fast!

Imgur had to expand. They had to become more. They also had to discourage being only used as a direct image linking site, as they needed a way to serve ads.

The alternative was to go bankrupt.
Why in the world did the family pay for the spoon? I mean I might have offered if someone had politely informed me about what I'd done. But I'm certainly not going to of it's a demand.
This is a trend I've noticed also, behemoths breaking standards without permission nor apology, crushing the canary in the coal mine (w3m/lynx, though emacs eww browser works). As a member of an IT Development team creating various web applications, we have found different approaches
are needed based on client needs and workflow. We develop many complex data-based backed query/display single page web apps usually with zero js. Where not needed it is little more than a security hole begging for trouble. Where no 'live' user experience is required this is equals
resource waste (xtra payload, xtra client cpu cycles if no js blocker) especially in many work environments.

As user/engineer I am annoyed when any site sends me their worthless js to execute unnecessarily, thus wasting my devices cpu cycles, battery, plus my lifejuice, and for what??? In most cases nothing I want/desire/need, therefore just to make a bigger tool of me than
before, and not for the better. That being said, using web communications, live/simulated data visualizations benefit greatly from js.

Separation of concerns is what is missing, js was created to benefit and enhance user experience, the ne'er do wells have hacked it into a tool mindlessly used and often enough does screw the user over without permission nor apology...

Interestingly the creators of what became Google received their start with NSF funding. Good way to finish off giving everyone the finger Google, continue to 'do only evil'...
FDR would have very much been of the opinion that rise of wealth in our society needs to be distributed to everyone, particularly the least well off among us.
I used pipes to build custom RSS feeds to feed into google reader. I miss this product and google reader so very badly.
There's contract work - like creating little websites or web apps for people. So, learn things like Wordpress, CSS, Javascript, image editing, to start.

If I were him, I would first ask around - family, local businesses, organizations, etc. to see if someone needs a website or internal database or something like that, and then learn what you need to learn to do it. Another option might be to find groups or small businesses or individuals that do coding and see if he can learn from them and help out.

What I wouldn't do is just try to learn programming for its own sake - such as taking a course or buying a book without any idea of how it might be useful. He'll just forget it and perhaps even decrease his interest in programming. Flip it around and find a project first, a reason to learn programming.
