Why does Facebook owe anyone a voice?

If you want a 'voice' then the GOVERNMENT should make a social media platform in which NO ONE at all can be censured. Because your silly free speech argument doesn't have anything to do with private companies, although you already knew that, but conveniently ignore it.

If Trump decides to start posting on HN, does HN owe him a voice?

You are the one making slippery slope arguments, not the other way around.
I've been looking at several different sources, and I can't find a single mention of Kavanaugh protestors committing any vandalism at all. The result of Kavanaugh protests? 128 people arrested.

You're comparing that with a mob of people who violently clashed with the police outside the Capitol, then stormed inside, broke windows, climbed the walls, sat inside offices with their feet up on desks, walked away with "souvenirs", and planted IEDs. The result of that? 13 arrests.

Can you please explain why your comparison is not disingenuous?
Starlink gunna be a cash cow.
As any trader will tell you, "the price justifies the risk". You won't be able to buy a share of SnapChat now at a low price relative to fair value ( if, as others have suggested, you're able to buy at all ). Look close and you'll see that for top deals, even VCs and bankers margins are getting squeezed.
Comcast and Verizon like to combine them as well in the US. Of course, we have more cable companies and phone companies than those two, but I'm less aware of what they deliver.

Those three examples are only different in the reasons given for the time-frame. You don't need to provide reasons, they're irrelevant, someone who wants to park somewhere cares whether it's illegal or not.
Quoting https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/01/hacke... :

> Extracting and later resealing the chip takes about four hours. It takes another six hours to take measurements for each account the attacker wants to hack. In other words, the process would take 10 hours to clone the key for a single account, 16 hours to clone a key for two accounts, and 22 hours for three accounts.
It depends on whether the histories have diverged and how many conflicts there are. A lot of people aren't very proficient with the use of git and will have problems (e.g., running git pull) and creating a merge commit in their branch or having conflicts they need to resolve.

The next time they open a PR using that branch, it will have commits that will clutter the branch.
By that logic, there's no such thing as attempted murder, robbery etc because no-one was killed or deprived of property....

When I scanned my books with LibraryThing (more than a decade ago now) with one of those CueCats I had lying around as my barcode scanner at the time (now the LT iOS and Android apps can act as a barcode scanner), the primary data source was (and still is, I believe) Amazon's database which has a very good idea of paperback UPC codes to ISBNs from their used book sales. In the average case you'd just have to pick between two or three alternatives, and in the worst case that Amazon had very few used sales of that book just text search some other source (and LibraryThing is rife with all sorts of really cool catalog data sources).

Hyperinflation benefits no one - any slight advantage you might see out of it (like a large liability) is going to be entirely washed out by the absolute chaos your economy will be in - if there is rioting in the streets you might be able to forget about your mortgage, but your house might also be looted.
I agree that fine motor control would be awesome, but the Valve Index controllers do not measure finger movement with the degree of control that would keep it from frustrating the hell out of people.

The tracking is basically "finger open or closed" and even then it's not terribly accurate. It frequently won't pick up fingers next to each other correctly -- if I point at something with my index finger, it picks out the middle finger as extending as well (even if it didn't). The way they track the thumb movement in particular does not feel remotely natural; it feels like you have to press an awkwardly-placed "close thumb" button rather than just making a fist.

The Valve Index's finger tracking is a gimmick in its current implementation. I really don't think we'll be able to get accurate motor control without a glove.
... how is STUN pure p2p ? you still need to have a STUN server somewhere no ?
By the same argument, there aren’t any procedural languages — only languages that encourage procedural logic. This is true of all descriptors: declarative, logic, stack, etc.

This is of course true... but a fairly pointless distinction to make — in much the same way claiming C++ and python are equivalent because they’re both Turing complete (therefore, no language can be superior to any other).

It’s a claim that sounds insightful but is ultimately devoid of content.
I was wondering about that too. I wonder how much SecureROM extraction pays nowadays? It used to be $200k circa 2015: https://ramtin-amin.fr/#nvmedma

I recently had a small rant on Twitter about a certain web technology; I used the word "crap."

One of the main authors of the tech spotted my post and replied saying my rant was offensive and that they had worked hard and done the best they could.

It had been a long time since I felt that much shame in myself. It could have been me pouring myself into something and then the other guy calls it crap.
The timer also really doesn't mesh well with the slow "letters falling down" animation between rounds. The UI is sending very mixed signals with "how quickly can you do this?" and "hold on, gotta wait here for a bit" at the same time.
I eschew accountability.

Nobody actually respects those who do so, but rather your supporters have a harder time defending you.

Don't get me wrong, I will hand out meaningless apologies (I will give you a sincere sounding apology, but nothing will prevent me from behaving that way in the future) like crazy, but that's all I will do.

The reality is that as long as you can outlast your enemies willingness to be angry, you can win.
Excellent presentation! One improvement to consider is that many usages of "code point" should be "Unicode scalar value" instead. Basically, you don't want to use UTF-8 to encode UTF-16 surrogate code points (which are not scalar values).

Fun fact, UTF-8's prefix scheme can cover up to 31 payload bits. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8#FSS-UTF , section "FSS-UTF (1992) / UTF-8 (1993)".

A manifesto that was much more important ~15 years ago when UTF-8 hadn't completely won yet: https://utf8everywhere.org/
I've heard that can be pretty harsh, though I'd be curious to know how it might fair with a little bit of aging, say 6-12 months. It requires a bit more handholding of the batch as well, but there are turbo yeasts that will get to ~14% in 24-48 hours.

I've also come across "triple distilled" turbo yeast that's supposed to be less harsh but not as high ABV.
I don't. I find my purpose in what I'm able to do because I'm employed, not in employment. I can't donate time and money because I have both. I can spend time with my family because we're not struggling to pay our bills, requiring a "side hustle." I can put my kid in a school that supports out value I'm science and not worry about book bans that avoid complex subjects because I can afford it.

I am not what I do for money. I am what I do with it.
I find this whole debate some sort of weird illustration of how the Internet has changed.

People here have probably played Everquest or Runescape or World of Warcraft or any number of MMO's. This is basically how I see "metaverse", just with a silly hat. The game world in WoW can feel pretty immersive, you can forget you're you for hours on end. It probably replaced real life for me to a far greater extent than the "Metaverse" ever will for people interacting with it because they'll probably do it for like, an hour a day or something.

In WoW you can lay down and people can repeatedly sit on you. They can walk through you. They can tell you to fuck off and eat shit, they can literally kill you in the game if they're on the opposing faction, etc.

And this is like, totally normal and fine. It's not offensive. I mean, in one way it is, but not in the 'this is despicable and must stop' way.

I get this sense that like, the Internet was all a game, and now nothing can be a game. It all has to _matter_. If someone tells you to suck a cock on Twitter, it's not just an insult, it's like, some big thing, it'll have a name, there'll be a whole movement, etc. It's hate speech, or it's misandrist, or it's this or it's that.

But in World of Warcraft you're a fat cunt and like, whatever.

Why can't people just chill out? What happened?
I feel it has to be. Who is tipping their movers only $5?
"Why not just print out the photo?"

An interesting argument... which could be extended to "why paint from life?" because you're just copying what you see.

In fact, some artists who paint completely from their imagination or who create nonrepresentational art have this exact objection to just painting what you see (even without photographic reference), which they don't find interesting because it's not creative enough for them.

This confusion comes up every time there's a popular article about quantum teleportation.

In a certain interpretation of the unambiguous mathematics, quantum teleportation does feature an instantaneous transfer of the quantum state. It's just that this state is useless for sending messages unless accompanied by a few bits of classical information. Since this classical info flows at less than the speed of light, there's no conflict with special relativity.
> I don't believe there is a single CS course taught by a grad student

Actually, this is incorrect. Although I'm not aware of any courses taught by grad students this year, I now recall that one of the lecturers also taught while a Ph.D. candidate. However, only a small minority of CS courses here seem to be taught by grad students.
See other post with regards to technical measures. With regards to process, I got (yet another) lesson in why improvising during disaster recovery is a bad idea. I should have - I'm about to sound like a salaryman - followed the effing checklist that I wrote when I was awake and unhurried instead of compounding the problem by trying to mitigate it while stressed and under severe time pressure. This would have resulted in the crash having eaten 15 reminders, which would have resulted i probably no missed appointments (system fubared, no humans affected) and me comping one customer a week's service. Instead, I managed to upgrade it from severity: mild to severity: apocalyptic.

I don't disagree with your post, but I'm having trouble seeing how it relates to mine.

I wasn't saying you can't make good or valuable music companies. I'm just saying almost none of them make a decent profit, and therefore I won't touch them.

I mean, satellite radio was basically built on talk shows.

Or Pandora, the current winner in internet radio, from their IPO filing: "The company has brought in $90.1 million in revenue as of the first three months of its 2011 fiscal year and has lost only around $300,000." (VentureBeat)

It's an industry where even the winners are failures.
It's a list sorted by revenue. Female sports don't make a fraction of what male sports do. Female's in general are not as interested in sports as makes are. Whether cultural or not is debatable, though I imagine at least a large part of it is. However, a list like this is not proof that women are not allowed the opportunity, only that, when given the opportunity, they have failed to capitalize on it. Look at the WNBA.

I of course admit that the argument can get circular. Current culture -> unsuccessful female sports -> reinforcement of current culture.

EDIT: Care to comment? What about this is factually incorrect?
Could we please stop calling those apps startups?
I believe it helps to think more abstractly.

Search is literally finding things. Think of a dictionary, a stack of papers, a filing cabinet, a helicopter with a spotlight, a bloodhound, triangulation, and on down the scale of abstraction.

Get to the core of what the user is trying to accomplish. Come up with some crazy ideas as well as incremental improvements, then talk to people about them and see what resonates.
Hurricane Electric 1 in Fremont is, IMHO, a notoriously bad DC - I wouldn't host anything in there regardless of whether it was with Linode (I'm a fan) or another provider.

If Fremont was a random choice of the 4 US DC's Linode offers, I would consider putting in a ticket to be moved to another one of their DCs (they'll do it painlessly for free).
Hmmm... is this slinkset's successor?
It is a good question. One, the book was published relatively recently, but, two, the research and and testing took an inordinately long time to collect. Seems like nielsen could have benefited from SaaS based gaze tracking.
Exactly. It teaches you how to draw. An orange is just an orange to me unless I'm drawing it. Then it becomes an orange I have to focus on while I draw.
I recommend learning by working with a graphic artist on a small project. In return, you can teach him/her some programming.
Actually, I'm still a little pissed about the "thou" thing...
The counter arguement would be that it is silly to reject sonething because it is new. I've written. Lots of C++ to test SOCs at a lower level than the linux kernel. Discounting OOP techniques because of complexities in C++ is shortsighted.
I hardly think 5 days is enough time for Microsoft to patch this. The guy could have given them two weeks before releasing the exploit.
Reading someone's prose because they are "such good storytellers" is a bit like introducing your sister to this* guy because he's such a charmer.

Cutting the userbase sharply in half, with ugly on one side and attractive on the other, is probably a bad way for them to explain it to people. They'd be better off saying something like "we show you other users based on how much you have in common, including age, interests, attractiveness, personality, etc."
It lets you keep the ones that could make more elsewhere... there's a competitive market for the best CEOs, which is why they make what they do.
C++ is from the early 1980ies. (That doesn't make it a better language, though.)
I'd like to see Linus tackle a systems programming language now that he's tackled version control. I'd think that would be entirely within his domain.

But C++ is not the answer here. It wants to be all things to everyone (low-level, high-level, object-oriented, functional, etc, etc) and is therefore useful for almost every kind of project but well matched to none of them.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. I read through the book on night 1 and was stoked to Swiftify my life, but was disappointed nearly as fast when I realized how icky Cocoa(Touch) was to implement in Swift. It felt unnatural, and I've used languages with named parameters before, but forcing the two paradigms together seems wrong.
From Tesla's website:

EXOSKELETON

Cybertruck is built with an exterior shell made for ultimate durability and passenger protection. Starting with a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton, every component is designed for superior strength and endurance, from Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel structural skin to Tesla armor glass.

https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck?redirect=no

The steel exterior coupled with the flat square front seems to me like a perfect combination to kill in a collision with a person.

By the way, visiting the website I can confirm that the word "safety" is nowhere to be found.

Here's the thing. I often listen to recorded voices at 1.25x or 1.50x speedup. Some people can be easily understood faster, others not. A commonality in those that can be understood are they are professionals, and ones that can't are lay people. Clearly (!), the professionals enunciate in a way that's much more understandable.

I've also noticed when listening to a presentation that some presenters are a lot easier to listen to. I'd like to improve my presentations in that way - that means tone, pacing, enunciation, etc.
The NATO air campaign Did. Not. Force. The. Serbs. To. Retreat.

It completely failed in the objective.

However, the second NATO put boots on the ground the Serbs pulled out.

The air campaign was a total failure. Complete, abject, failure.
> The equity holders are eating the losses; have you seen the stock market?

This is a misconception. Loss or profit only happens when you sell your assets. Until then it is just economic potential. The trend of not paying dividends is at fault here. When you do not care about dividends but perceived future growth to earn money there is an incentive to over-commit and increase risk above any reasonable level.

Adding to that, if someone's "investments" last just a few days or weeks. Then that person is not investing, that person is just speculating. And, speculators should not be shielded of market readjustments. If anything they should fully pay to use the market as a casino.

But, back to the point, your assessment do not contradicts that companies are excessively leveraged and are not ready to survive though times. As the parent comment says, there is an incentive to leverage as much as possible and let the tax payers pay for the meltdown.

"American Airlines spent $13 billion on share buybacks for 10 years through 2019". They should have used that money more wisely. Why should the taxpayers give money away or lent money at close to zero interest when the companies had the money and dedicated it to artificially increase share prices?
Have you tried home brewing supply shops? I've found that winemaking yeast works for baking.
There's a lot that we take for granted nowadays, that either did not exist back then, or were expensive commercial products:

- Ubiquitous transport layer encryption.

- Secure memory-safe programming languages.

- Structured data exchange formats that do not suck.

- RPC that isn't SOAP, or DCOM.

- Distributed consistent databases.

- Proper sandboxing for applications.

- Resolution-independent proportional UI.

- A vibrant open source ecosystem used across the industry.

... and much more. Today's foundations are a lot more solid than they were back then, but I still miss the rapid prototyping. We even have an ok-ish Linux desktop!

Even the most powerful React tree views are much worse than what we had 15 years ago, and are much harder to use than dragging a component onto a form.

No nostalgia though, everything else sucked.
I've thought of this same thing. Identify ads in AR and layer the color of the sky on top of the ads. I'm guessing it's doable already.

Desire for confidence and status is exactly what I'm critizing because it makes people's notion of self-worth dependent on how they're perceived by others. What if your alleged signal of status changes because culture changes? Make yourself two inches shorter again?

Any mature conception of expression entails that you ask yourself if you're expressing yourself for your own sake or if you're molding yourself to the expectations of others.

Having genuine autonomy and agency means inquiring yourself if what you're doing is something you actually want, or you only think you want because it confers status. It's not obvious at all that everything you superficially want also makes you genuinely happy or if it's the product of some mimetic desire.

I don't know what to think of this then "Bricklin and Frankston's original intention was to fit the program into 16k". To me it means the program binary couldn't fit in 16k, so I'd assume the code was between 16k and 32k. Supposing the largest manageable spreadsheet being 26 cols * 1K rows, filled with 2 bytes, that's ~5kB of user data.

Anyway, if they managed to write a useful spreadsheet in 20kB it's even better.
It's really not fair to put words in the mouths of men long dead and gone, we can not know of their motivations if they had lived in the present because they didn't so all we can do is see that work within context.

In your worldview, it is quite fair to do that. One of modern science's favorite, yet unhealthy, past-times is to attempt to describe the inner workings of men (and other events) which are "long dead and gone." So no, you don't get to casually discard it here, because science has repeatedly demonstrated it is highly interested in using empiricism to form presently observable models and also use those present models to conjecture about the past -- regardless of whether those present empirical models can be rationally extrapolated in that direction.

Hopefully this brings you to a greater understanding why the portion of science which addresses the past is really a "religion" in it's own right, relying on plenty of faith to give any sort of credence to its claims about a truly unknowable past.
Once upon a time, I actually tried to report a company out of PCI compliance. It's harder than it sounds, and there's a very good chance the PCI council will ignore your report.
